lyrics

diluted in the stranded west
a coast of smoke and silhouettes
the core begins to spread its drought
as hope grows frail, depleting into doubt
turn from the shore and go
dying orchids in a vacant home
there are foreign cities built for men like me
beneath branches of looming fever trees
poppy fields pulsing like a scarlet flood
as swans glide through the secure sable mud
turn from the shore and go
no more orchids, no more home
turn from the shore and go
start an untouched life alone.
