From the recording Alien Summer
Lyrics
Alien Summer
When the light angles into the leaves
And you can’t place the scent or the breeze
A million tiny lives lie hidden in the trees
Soft voices whispering extraordinary things
A neon shift replaces the faces that you knew
Your lizard brain is bracing for the change inside of you
The Alien Summer came and they awoke in us
We shed our human skin to find new fingers reaching up
From quiescent chrysalides beneath the August moon
The Travelers made conscious, the world to consume
While the nightingales chitter and chant
They feed in the forests of man
With preying proboscides’ paralyzing sting
An army of witch-mantids hunting everything
A sonic trigger instigates the slaughter of the earth
Frontal lobes corrupted by the hive’s ancestral thirst
The Alien Summer came and they awoke in us
We shed our human skin to find new fingers reaching up
From quiescent chrysalides beneath the August moon
The Travelers made conscious, the world to consume
Gloria, I’m receding
From the beaches of my dreaming
Into this exoskeleton
The man you knew is gone
Like the memory of a song
I knew you once but that was long ago
The Alien Summer came and they awoke in us
We shed our human skin to find new fingers reaching up
From quiescent chrysalides beneath the August moon
The Travelers made conscious, the world to consume
