The grains of sand
Buried deep beneath my skin
The anchor's been torn off
But not from my Soul
You always seem to think
It's never about you
but now I'm shipwrecked
And I'm a lost fool without a clue
Gave her a name!
She was the 'Mary Queen of Amersterdam'
She's insane
She'd been battered, bruised, she'd been kicked around
But today
It's not my fault I didn't see the wave
It's okay
I'd rather be alone than brave
Why don't you tell me about the weather
Or whether you've got cold feet
Feels like I'm stuck here forever
Sun's beating down and I feel the heat
It's not what I wanted to say
It's that I wanted to do okay
It's not like I woke up today
and said 'let's get lost along the way'
Built a fire and called for help
No one came
Two ships passed by
Or was it a dream?
You could always make me see things
In my dreams I could make you happy
Am I drowning?

A terrifically woozy slab of psychedelic stoner rock, where big riffs grind against saxophones, omnichords, and more. Bandcamp New & Notable Feb 17, 2018
