lyrics

I woke from sleep in the blood of my sheep
The weight of guilt bears down on me
I was doing much better, I've done much better

But now I break glass and leave real fast
To flail around naked in the grass
I was doing much better, I've done much better

I've torn off their clothes, let their beauty unfold
I've tilled this land all on my own
I was feeling much better, I felt much better

And my gun refrains, I smash through the gate
To find my lover and the corpse she has laid
I was feeling much weaker, but now I'm better
alone
alone
alone
alone
alone
alone
alone
alone

Blue waves take over me
Let my body set me free
Blue waves take over me
Let my body set me free
I'm the shepherd, baby, know what I mean?
I'm the shepherd, baby, know what I mean?

I know where I belong now
Avoiding space and time
Drifting in a dream boat
Through the ocean in our minds
And I feel the earth conform to me

I'll love you like an artist
Who paints more than he sees
I'll bring you tea and crackers
To make sure you fall asleep
And I feel the earth conform to me

I'll eat you out for breakfast
With my head between your knees
Let's separate our bodies
Let our limbs grow into trees
And I feel the earth conform to me

To live in peace and pleasure
With a head of busy bees
Is to kill off the shepherd
Drift in my submarine
And I feel the earth conform to me

I feel much better...

Creating an auditory escape from reality is the goal. An organic sound of lush instrumentation sweeping across the mountains and into the forest below.
