Archipelago Of Dreams

Cloud Watching

dance in the light sleep with the eye on
come in together, fall apart
go on in a crowd, 
together just to fall apart
to fall apart
and i feel it coming
midnight and my temperature’s rising
and i feel the blood rush to my fingers..
you and i, natural born killers
you and i, natural born killers
killers
killers
killers

is someone at the door?
is there someone at the door?
from the very first
drawing from the red earth cheap black blood
drawing from the red earth cheap black blood
drawing from the red earth cheap black blood
from the dirt
from the dirt
midnight and my temperature’s rising
and i feel the blood rush to my fingers
you and i, natural born killers
you and i, natural born killers
killers
killers
killers

Beetle Bee,
You know the muscle eats the brain sometimes
Tried to replicate a photo are you satisfied
Is it knowing that makes you mine
Or the knowing that we were running out of time

Well, hold that pose you're looking like a fatal frame
Paid a penny out of way to make a picture last in time and
Took a polaroid just to make you stay the same
Dont move, Dont move

Who are you to say
That time don't move any other other way and
Who are you to look the other way
When time don't move any other other way

Beetle bee you swing the bat and swing away
Dont move don't move
Swing the bat and swing away 
Like a picture in a frame
At least we'll always look the same inside a fatal looking frame

Don't you move, don't you move, don't you move
Don't you move, don't you move, don't you move

Watch the muscles that are moving you
Pretending I could move you too
Only you, and only you
I wish I could be 
The photograph you left me
Only you, and only you

Beetle bee you swing the bat and swing away
Dont move don't move
Swing the bat and swing away 
Like a picture in a frame
At least we'll always look the same inside a fatal looking frame

All the sentimental pain
Of a picture of a game
At least we'll always look the same 
Inside a fatal looking frame 

Who are you to say
That time don't move any other other way and
Who are you to look the other way
When time don't move any other other way

You’ve seen a face 
Falling out of the dark
To mother a whisper
So half of your mind 
Can dare to drift off
As the other stays 
Always wondering,
Watching through the thunder 
For a sign of all the 
Monsters in the rain

"Hey, hey, are you in good hands?"
"Say no to drugs"
"And stay like it was the plan all along" 
"Hey, hey, are you in good hands?"
"I wish I could stay
Like it was the plan all along"

You said goodbyes 
Never meant a thing
But I started guessing  
Though we’d gathered our best
It was known for a while
That all through the night 
You’d stayed wondering,
Haunted by old dreams 
You could not share
In fear you’d throw them all away

"Hey, hey, are you in good hands?"
"Say no to drugs"
"And stay like it was the plan all along" 
"Hey, hey, are you in good hands?"
"I wish I could stay
Like it was the plan all along"

Wish I Could Stay

Monsoon is a three-piece indie rock band from Athens, Georgia who weave together unorthodox styles to create music that dips between the conscious and subconscious. Their upcoming album"Ghost Party" is set to release early 2022. 

It wasn’t long after the release of Monsoon's debut album “Ride A’Rolla,” that the band garnered shocking and unexpected success. A couple months after the initial release, Chandler was contacted by Toyota to use their title track on a commercial for the new 2016 Toyota Corolla. From there, the commercial landed a spot in the 2016 Super Bowl right after the half time performance. “I had no idea something of that magnitude would happen at such an early part in our story. That kind of thing just doesn’t happen. We were very lucky.” Post Super Bowl, both members of Monsoon [Sienna Chandler and Joey Kegel] have been lying low, quietly fine tuning a project they've teased as "Ghost Party." Chandler mentions, "Our upcoming album is a complete departure from the fast paced, youthful punk riffs Ride A’Rolla so effortlessly brought to the table. It didn’t happen intentionally, but as you grow so does your comprehension and ability to salt and pepper your music. Massive harmony sections swarm most of the album. By the end of it you sort of feel baptized. Not to mention, every single sound on this album is either Joey or I. Every instrument, and voice was brought into creation by us birthing the shape of its sound.”
