lyrics

After your last breath
I was breathing like the sea
Waves were rolling endlessly
out of you and into me

After the last breath
Of a body, that made me
With all of its dangers, and difficulties

Death makes the game of life inadequate
It’s the farce we perform while we wait

After your last breath
I was wondering how to be?
What is worth the time now
If we’re all put out to sea?

But I see you and I know you
Though your spoons and cutlery
I’m still making a mess of the time I have left
And you’re set free

Death makes the game of life inadequate
It’s a farce we perform while we wait

While we wait
While we wait
While we wait
While we wait

Hermitess Calgary, Alberta

Hermitess is the project of an aging and slightly reclusive witch, dreaming simultaneously in music and images. Sonically, layered orchestral textures, harmonic voices, and pedal driven magic, all conjuring a fleeting fever dream.
