lyrics

It occurs to me, that life won't ever be the same.
Now that the ocean's far away, from me.
I believe that we were never meant to flee,
But time and money let the bird cage swing
So we flew (oooooo), until the air was a little thicker
and the sky was a little more blue
Ooooh, when the dialect grew funny
And our claws planted roots.

Now I see how precious your love can truly be
When it's just you and and it's just me, alone.
And you bring me up, when I'm so high and I'm so low
A selfless slave unto my soul until we're old.
We bid adieu, Like a two person chain gang,
With nothing left to lose.
Ooooh, breaking rocks and tied with locks,
and clad with steel and orange suits.

Count to three,
Not your holy ghost, but me, and our family.
We're all we've got,
at least for the time being,
so let's not fall asleep or retreat.
So we flew (oooooo), until the air was a little thicker
and the sky was a little more blue
Ooooh, when the dialect grew funny
That's where our claws planted roots.

Folding Leaves
by Message To Bears

supported by 4 fans who also own “Chrysalis”

Can't decide between Mountains or Wake Me as my favorite track - Not that I don't like the rest, these 2 tracks just have a special meaning for me. I use Wake Me as my alarm tone for the last two years, the gentle use of bird sounds in this track is soothing, the beginning is like a morning out in the woods. Mountains is what got me into Message To Bears initially, due to it's stunning usage in Life Is Strange. Attreides

Mixing those ethereal, soaring notes with rhythmic tapping beats was a great choice and really takes ambient music in a direction I don't often get to hear Caleb Bratcher
