lyrics

we are the system I look at it, it looks at me…. ephemeral I only dream what it could be… ephemeral can you imagine the other side? can’t you see what we could be? can you imagine the other side? wastelands turn to water sky wake up to landscapes shake up the plan man its okay its over brother sister whatever in your head over under water what is the is-ness of is? what is the is? if you see your shadows in the dawn…. I’d like to be confidant of natures deepest dream climbin’ the steepest peak on high then rain love from above grounded by sound we cloud look the chaos in the eye dragon fire melted off the hands of the clock infinity behind my mind this time I’d like to teach the world to sing a song of perfect love from a from the fifth dimension far beyond the sky I can see the light shining from a lantern that was not made by human hands it lights up the mountain, it lights up the stream it lights up the valley, it lights up the dream no bottom to this ocean no top to this mountain nothing to live up to nothing to live down a perfect love endless sky paradox I ate the butterfly in your dream like it was no big deal

about

It’s an ambient record! It’s a rock record! It’s Skyscapia! It’s the free-est record we’ve ever made. Ultimately, this album is a study on cycles between form and formlessness.

Skyscapia began with a bed of ambient group improvisation which was then sculpted via stream-of-consciousness writing + recording methods in the studio. Nothing was pre-written before the recording process of this piece.
