about

electronic acoustic dream pop

lyrics

the emperor departed
there's nothing left to say
someone burned his clothing
he had to go away
the emperor is sleeping
swimming in a dream
deep in the darkest ocean
i hope he finds his way
the emperor is traveling
he always did that well
mindful of the schedules
samsara carousel
now and then returning
transfigured by the night
dispensing small mementos
a phantom recondite
his final destination
is anybody's guess
floating on the currents
the bardo more or less
the emperor has nothing
but be that as it may
it's of no concern to him
the ghostly emigre

peering through the window pain
i saw her stroke his head
she whispered something in his ear
words that cut the thread
