lyrics

Pride and jewel
On the open sea she sails
You're a funny fool
In the belly of a whale

Dead and gone
Or hanging on
If you're here
It won't be long

Breathe and breed
Clothe and feed
Is all that I can do now
Indeed

Right and true
Will I ever reach my home
How do you do
I long to leave this ship of bone

Common ground
To be found
Lies below
Without a sound

Destiny
Come to me
There's nothing I won't do
To be believed
At last released

We are born violent
Called to wreck, sent away
From the womb torn and rent
Brought down in full bloom

Siren call, speak my name
Draw me to your stone
On a wave white and tame
Silent we fall in full bloom

Wondrous, resonant, sonorous beauty from an agile, captivating mind. A musician through and through letting the ideas spool out, gather and envelop the listener with such tenderness and kindness. Jason Christie

This is literally one of my favorite tracks of all time. I was on a podcast talking about having AuDHD and when they asked me to recommend a song, this was it! Because it just wakens my brain in a really particular way :) mattiamauree
