lyrics

Twisting clouds rotating overhead like alligators rolling in a lake
Another moss-step forward as I’m treading toward my fate
On the living carpet scattered ‘round the ground

We don’t believe our eyes
Even when what they see is elevated
-A 4k resolution on the screen, which we call life
I think sideways, so all my calls hit like tidal waves,
And that’s the neat thing!
There’s no absolution on this plane, which we call life

And that’s the neat thing!
Since we’re operating above two hundred and fifty-six color,
That puts me twenty years obsolete

O’ it was just another routine complication
On the screen that we call life
Yeah, maybe that’s a flawed interpretation,
But I’m done picking sides

A wind-flecked well in the clearing up ahead
It’s ominous, so it’s always wanting peace
I’ll take a dust-step forward
And be the moth without its wings
Its life could change with the toss of a single coin

Couldn’t believe my eyes
Surely, what I just saw was a work of fiction
-The 4k resolution on the screen, must have been a lie
I wished either way and let it fall like a tidal wave,
And that’s the neat thing!
If it was truly fiction, what happened next would’ve been a lie

And that’s the neat thing!
I’m still operating at two hundred and fifty-six color,
But I don’t feel so obsolete

O’ it was just another routine complication
On the screen that we call life
Yeah, maybe that’s a flawed interpretation,
But I’m done picking sides...

The Awry Ascent
by Hungry Lights

supported by 46 fans who also own “Thicker”

The first album I've listened to from this guy, on his youtube channel. At first I wasn't sure about how I liked it, but Umber Tower sold it to me, and I eventually came to love all of his music. I FINALLY got around to buying all of the albums! Yay! My other favorite has to go to Umber Tower Donald Wilson
