Lyrics: 
how was the cold
along the path i determined to hold
although it coiled round a perilous wing
blinded by hot gas and carving off steam
there was still smoke

burnt in the grass
reclaim a portion of desolate south
add in the stirrings and long lost fatigue
barrels that hide us in hair fallen heed
then became sound

i wasn't afforded a love 
covered up in hard earned clay
i wasn't accorded a stop
always in it so much more
i wasn't afforded a love
covered up in hard earned clay
time wasn't the only cavernous 

I hope my contour charts show up via rivers
out to the only ocean
there's something peaceful that goes out via river
out to the ocean
i was peaceful standing, i was open


i wasn't afforded a love
covered up in hard earned clay
i wasn't accorded a stop
always in it so much more
i wasn't afforded a love
covered up in hard earned clay

time wasn't the only cavernous
time wasn't the only cavernous
time wasn't the only cavernous
time wasn't the only coward

Since April alone, their self-released tracks have pulled in 25,000+ organic streams worldwide, with multiple songs crossing 1K–2K+ plays on SoundCloud — proof that Cleo’s garden is alive and echoing.

At the heart of this work are Cleo’s alter artists, Nova Rue and Sunni — soulful, cinematic branches of their voice that bring each story to life in new shades and textures.
