lyrics

i plant my flag in the clay.
this is the land of the queen.

i'm like an aerosol.
the pressure's immense.
particles blow out in every direction:
incoherent,
vague.

(...)

shit is painful.
shit is weary.
shit is probably pointless.
but you're a star and i'm a witness.
let's walk two by two.
you're a star--i'm a rogue planet
in love with his dusty moon
and i...

come back when you love me again.

in a different time, i'd be da vinci.
in a different time, i'd be judas.
in a different time--that's different from mine--
i'd escape the regard of the enemy.
i'd escape the regard of the papacy.
i'd escape.
i'd not draw the regard of the smoldering mob
or that couple over there drinking tea.

life's a dream when you're a bird.
oh, havent you heard?
songs are our words.
a shape in the sky.
watching the sun.
travel so light.
i spread my wings.

life's a dream when you're a bird.
thermals i ride.
squawking absurd.
a shape in the sky
watching the sun,
travel so light.
so light.
i spread my wings.

nest in the trees.
trees in the sky.
snakes in the grass.

if you'd like to make a visit i'll transfer you to my assistant.
pardon me, but i'm in a rush to get back
to my dream.

let it ring.

(((ring)))

swiveling in my chair,
waiting on a call.

(((ring)))

calmer than you are.

(...)

about

Make Light image

Make Light Winston Salem, North Carolina

Winston-Salem-based electronic music outfit Make Light fuses the talents of Wanda Beats, Ezra Noble and Zac Trainor. Endsley’s lush, celestial voice and Noble’s weary croon thread through thick, earthy beats wrapped in synthetic textures. The songs ache and swell with the raw joy of sound, rising through blue leagues of emotion, breaching in the light. ... more
