With the head of a pawn
I had no face
No legs or feet
Everything was black and white
And I was so bored
With the head of a pawn
I had no heart
No will of my own
Every dream was void of light
I was sleeping, I was sleeping
Something shifted
I fell outside the lines
Grew wings and flew
Everything was full of color
I was flying, I was flying
I could see for the first time
The luminescent sun
Guiding me home
I want to take flight
In this small window
Of amusing life
I'll leap into air
Never returning to the cardboard ground
Free from the kings and queens
Free from the fingers
That would pull me down
Look around, it is only a game
Look around, it is only a game

Seaside

If only my arms were long enough
I'd reach through a hole in time and space
I'd remember hope
Glimmered in the emerald
Green of your eyes
You twirled in an ocean
A starry sky of moonlight shades
You were cloudless and open
Stirring in the nether eye
That overflows
We f****d behind the couch
In front of the window
To the strings and the voice
To the songs in our hearts

When I broke into silence I was dreaming
Dreaming of a self I've yet to know
The threads were weaving
Around and around
Spun from the belly
Of the body unseen
A hand with a thousand fingers
Is plucking my strings
The melodies are written in the golden book
In the world of illusions
I see familiars
Sent by the one
Wearing my face
She smiles at the pain
Of former bodies and scars
A thousand tears under stars
Fall
Spin me out
Spin me out
Spin me out

Faerie Creatures

In my vision she was dancing
In a sphere of light
The winged creatures hovering
In elated flight
In worship of this sentient being
I can't deny it
I know what I've seen
She moved in celestial ways
Beneath ruby hair
That hung as a veil
Across the valley
And the twin suns
Don't fly, don't fly away
For several fleeting seconds
I knew wonder
Bliss and rapture
Angelic apparitions
Revealed themselves
Reflected on the surface
Of two tiny green windows
That glanced at me briefly
Before turning away
Every beautiful thing
Will fly away and I don't know why
Every beautiful thing
Will fly, like the faerie creatures
Like the faerie creatures
Every beautiful thing
Will fly away and I don't know why
Every beautiful thing
Will fly, like the faerie creatures

Nest

The roof is caving in
Spiders are falling
Birds are nesting in the walls
Once I had a home
Nature could not enter
Now the walls of stone
Fall away
The earth is breathing
Through cracks in the floor
The walls are creaking
Like they see the end
Once I had a home
Nature could not enter
Now the walls of stone
Fall away
The bliss in my heart
Is letting go
I have found the door
Away from this kingdom of the blind
The bliss in my heart
Is letting go
I have found the door

Pomegranate

The world is edible
The sky is made of skin
The feast is set before me
I don't know where to begin
Our arms are open
Our hearts are golden
The blessings of Demeter
Are upon us
Her harvest is ripe
Her oasis opens
Again
If only the pomegranate
Had not seduced
Persephone
Summer fields would last forever
And I would rest between two suns
My head would sleep there
At her heart
Summer fields would last forever
Summer fields would last forever
Summer fields would last forever

Nothing Is Lost
04:25

Hear the song of autumn leaves
The branches are letting go
Falling to indifferent ground
It is only illusion
Hear the sound of falling leaves
Descending to the earth
We're riding on a Ferris wheel
Up we go, down we go
Spinning on a carousel
Of smoke and mirrors
Up and down our horses ride
It's getting kind of dizzy here
Matter is a tricky thing
It circles around
Down we go
Nothing is lost
The Earth will spin
The Sun will fall
And rise again
Nothing is lost
The Earth will spin
The Sun will fall
And rise again

The Morning Star Rises

Death will set you free
Said the parallel me
Uncertain in its meaning
It hangs above the threads
Of all my varied heads
The other me spoke
Words of strange wisdom
I caught a glimpse
Of reflected light
Rapturous in the night sky
In that hour of illumined grace
Choruses will rise
On the shore of mind
Passion rages fire
On the shore of mind
Death is the only freedom
Many of us will ever know
In that hour of illumined grace
Choruses will rise
On the shore of mind
Passion rages fire
On the shore of mind
There's a bliss to be had
In the void
The morning star rises
A shining reflection
Of when I knew joy
Where the morning star rises
The morning star rises
The morning star rises

Gold Tide
05:19

There was a time
When my voice was in her ear
She listened to my drone
Of verse and song
In that hour of night
When fingers linger
She's decorating the unseen
She's pulling visions from the air
I've seen the face of heaven
I cannot look the other way
She's radiant and pure
She's confident and sure
Yet soaring as the seagull
Wet as the ocean
She stares from the bay
At the tide in her view
With tears that flow
Like the morning dew
And a face as bright
As pale fog light
Reveals a cherub's grin
She stares from the bay
At the tide in her view
With tears that flow
Like the morning dew
And a face as bright
As pale fog light
Crowned with waves of red

There is one
Who makes my heart explode
Into a billion fragments
Of godlike white light
There is one
Who tears me wide open
Throws open window shutters
And lets the daylight in
It's not what it seems
It's only a dream

Except In Dreams EP

Long time fan of TTTS (Ghost Forest is one of my all time favorite albums), ... And this incantation certainly delivers beyond my expectations. All things early darkwave/psy-goth/dreampop/shoegazey/ethereal/romanti-pop... Picture a wonderful gothrock mash-up of earlier TTTS greatness with Lycia, Florence and the Machine, Aria, The Moon Seven Times, & This Ascension... With its partner ep, "Fire Within Glass", it's just a great rock set through-&-through. Buy both eps!

Cool shoegaze tumbles forward on textured rhythms, melodic synth lines, and restless guitars.

The End Is the Beginning
by Mirror Of Haze
Perfectly gloomy Norwegian goth/post-punk, anchored by a punchy rhythm section and driven by chiming guitar lines and morose vocals.
