Islands in the sky,
hovering above paper cache foundations
that keep them high.
Way above the clouds;
the smog creates an isolated station,
away from the possibility of dipping your feet in.
And what good does it take
for a life we'd recreate?
Standing in our daily lines,
we reach to the sky to our gods above to manifest a way.
//
All color is beginning to change.
A long time coming, holds a day that strips away
the mass this utopian seclusion helped create.
In a sea of desolate space,
replacing bodies with a steel-solution craze.
While the kings and queens berate.
Don't treat me like a slave.
The sky fleet seems to scrape away your empathy.
As they dance off the empty.
//
Don't I look pretty in my new suit?
I'm feeling good in these new shoes.
Just caught word sustainability just increased for me.
No more clouds outside my window,
it's safe to roam.
What a curious case
for a desperate place.
Underneath the shadows, of which we roam above,
lay the innocence of lives that just supported us.
Exterminating a liability can hurt sometimes;
let us release the pain inside..
The Besnard Lakes return with their first new LP in four years, full of the same mystery and wonder on which they have built their name. Bandcamp New & Notable Nov 30, 2020
The Besnard Lakes are back with a new 12", and a new single. Expansive and psychedelic, much like the band's previous work. Bandcamp New & Notable Nov 29, 2016
