It's written in the water
Wily sham, you let the sirens blare
In the night, pick a fight; go ahead!
I'll make your fury flare
Swimming with murky divers
Sea is the embodiment of wrath
In the dark, naked stark, two radicals
There's no primrose path
Rive
To survive,
Tell
Tell me why they,
They're racking my brain
Lock them away
And count till they've bled
Torturous chain
Well, fame is the game
Memories stain
Now I'm hanging by a thread
When your body goes on fire
Burning words are meant to castigate
Fatal sips, poison lips; two cannibals
They'll leave you suffocate
Master mind
Let yourself
Go wild

Desire

How can this dull candlelight
stalk the night?
Your eyes welling up - you're lying!
Wrong and Right
Intertwined
How can you rid me of my blight
Deadly blight
We are cooling off, buying time
Till tonight
Now you're too far, recondite
In my mind
Spit out venom drops, bitter spite
Blaze with ire
Desire

Athenian Aura Recordings Athens, Greece
“They’ll make you happy to feel sad.”
The Guardian
"They split the difference between
the warmth of Chillwave and the sound of dreamy luminaries like Saint Etienne and Cocteau Twins."
Pitchfork
"A shimmering, sexy-smooth, Balearic pop dream, perfect for soundtracking
all the lingering yearning and regret of your next late-night comedown."
Gorilla Vs Bear
