If we're moving backwards then where do you think we are I thought we were talking about a falling star I wanted to travel over the white sandy shore but you stood in the waves stood in the waves I could touch it all I've fallen into my dreams again I could hold it I could hold it I could hold it But it was too cold But it was too cold
2.
It's all a ceremony Say your karakia With every step Mutter to yourself Gather the Kawakawa Shake your wrists Let yourself wail Atua Atua Tupuna Spirits come down Where are you now? We need your help I'm afraid to look ahead Darkness is all I can see Atua Atua Tupuna Where have you gone? We need your help now. Where have you gone? We need your help now. All lost to time Spilt into the ground All lost to time

You're in a bad way Seems every aeroplane Looks like a UFO For a second It can't come down If you keep staring Straight at it Oh no I won't tell anyone That you poison your blood If you wont look at the black On the walls of my lungs If you wont look at the black On the walls of my lungs On the walls of my lungs I wont tell anyone I wont tell anyone I wont tell anyone I wont tell At least I still ask Before I blow smoke around We're all gonna die But in the meantime All you need is the wink of an eye A sign from the sky Water not wine Oh whisky whisky just makes you ask why whisky just makes you ask why whisky just makes you ask why

Deluge 03:19
This hallowed age Is ending now You cannot hear The urgent bells From their soapbox Crying foul Deluge come And ruin spring But fire lives In everything We're living in the Calm between The earth it heaves The heavens freeze Again we find ourselves here At the close of a great year The earth it heaves The heavens freeze Again we find ourselves here At the close of a great year We burned the books the recalled Just what its all worth dying for The cataclysm's come before The seventh moon is war We burned the books the recalled Just what its all worth dying for The cataclysm's come before The seventh moon is war This new earth has been kind To let us grow and use our minds But what we've spun we can't unwind Heed the warning signs Heed the warning signs Heed the warning signs

In a few days You'll be On your own again And living in your head Staring at a tear In the carpet What are you doing With your hands? Have you got Something To keep them Occupied? They took away your paper They took away your pens But you'll show them But you'll show them
6.
I hear you In the Sterge I hear you Everywhere I hope you're happy I hope you're out there I hope you're out there I hope you're somewhere And that you're my friend I'm waiting for the call I'm waiting For the I'm waiting for the call

about

Live recorded, lofi, because i'm talented but too broke to pay for professional recording. Written and performed in some sort of trance. For the kēhua in my life.
