lyrics

Fixe

You came around the corner shifting and changing
Your skin is on fire, the lights are too bright oh
Holding on, holding in for vengeance but
Can’t quite feel the wall, well hey

Your feet started sinking in the floor in kitchen
You almost found the others, now there is nowhere to go
Tell me was there something? Some kind of meaning?
I have a right to know

You wanted to speak but everybody’s dancing
Now you can’t hold back but you can’t get it in
You’re such a fixed position
Your eyes are so intense
They wanna give, they wanna shed a skin
But they can’t

All your friends lit a fire behind the motel
They burned all your things, now they’re dancing around it
See why they don’t like ya’
See why you can’t to bend to the will, but you can

You’re fixed in the bedroom, Tears rolling up
You’ll lose your grip If you let it all in
They’ve looked inside your whole human being
And humbly decided that you’re
Just not the right fit

You took all your demons and all your longings
And took them all down to the water at night
But they’re eyes are averting to the inconvenient burden
You can’t afford to just sit by the house
Cause its on fire

Ora Cogan image

Ora Cogan

"Cogan can be strikingly sparse and overwhelmingly composed in the same sublime breath. She summons orchestral waves of violins and rolling psychedelic guitars, propelled forward by a voice that sweeps audiences away under a tsunami of blissful sonic complexity." - Sled Island Festival ... more
