In the beginning there was one source of light
It would die and come back every night
As a woman showing off her thighs
Just a little bit at a time
In the beginning
Everyone bowed their heads towards the light
They were dance and eat their friends alive
We were not happy then
And these were simpler times
Now we are played
We're the moth, we're the flame
We were aware of the danger
But we could not keep away
My eyes are open
In the beginning I was standing out in the yard
With my father pointing up at the stars
I asked, "do you think there is life on Mars?
Is their life like ours?"
From here I see a light left on
In a house like mine and out in the lawn
There's a man like you and a smaller one
I looked in the mirror
I have seen myself
Oh, I know of how universe, it shows itself
It's always getting bigger like you
I was told that I'd grow up to be myself
I thought I would get bigger too
Look what I have found, look what I have found
Look what I have found, look what I have found
An artificial light, we come and gather around
This is why we have lovers and why we have fighters
This is why the arms race and particle colliders
Our eyes are on the flame
Just a little white lighter
And it belongs to me
It belongs to me
It belongs to me
I woke up in the morning
To a pale light tangled in your hair
And I never wake before you
But this time I caught you sleeping there
Yes you are my sunlight
You are my last breath of air
I would try to hold it
I would try to keep the moment
Like a photograph of the sunset
Like a little kid with a bug net
Like a dying man, I swear
You belong to me, you belong to me
If you belong to anyone then you belong to me
But I have no other place to keep you safe
but in my shaking,ever shaking melody
Life goes on
Comes back on
We'll all be here
In my familiar halls
Empty jar
Stolen song
Wait for the light
to come back home

Two points:
1. Typhoon just might be the most underrated 5-star band I've ever heard. 5 years of listening to them and their depth and instrumental interplay is still astounding to me. I sincerely hope they continue to experiment and delight us with their music!
2. The second part of this song (from 2:25 onwards) is one of my all-time favorite musical compositions.

Did you see the most recent eclipse? Just saw a big ass orb spider on our deck. Here we are. Magic.

This is such a specific sound, I don't think I've heard anything like it. Feels like the first time I listened to Lorn, not in the style of the music but the uniqueness of it.

One of the best underrated bands 😭😭 Been a fan for at least 4 years and still religiously search these albums!

[@sethbasham355]

Love your music. I found this song when I was in junior high and now that I’ve graduated school and seeking further education it’s great to go back and give new life to your lyrics. Thank you for what you do and I hope you enjoy your music as much as I do (:

I am going through it right now. This song helps.

I’ll hide my booze from you. I’ll keep the news from you. The smirk I keep on my face was owed to me. It used to feather wings, now it’s a fall that needn’t a fall to tell winter would soon show.”
