Helldiver

The first reading in a new storytelling series.

Words by Cherie Conran

First Light // Obscura Hail

Sunbeam

written and recorded by Tamara Issa and Sean Conran of Obscura Hail



stocks are fallin', profits crawlin'
and you're livin' out your dream
a poor mans orange, pregnancy pausin'
for a moment you could see

hell broke loose
puttin' on that suit
drinkin' from the yolk
laid by mother goose

a frangrance worn with good intentions
but too strong for me to breathe

while we're singing
mothers ringing
better call her back this week

spun the bottle and it landed
in the ocean where we found it
heading for the beach

trick, trick or treat
standin' on the Balcony  
illuminated by the torches
held by parents and their witches

sippin' brandy
throwin' candy
dancin' to the beat

same old story
which one are we
the tortoise or the hare

mind is racing
what are we chasin
playing truth or dare

you say it doesn't matter
oh it doesn't matter

Hare

Conflict

Vladimir Nagrebetskiy - 'Conflict'

The first single from the upcoming album in stasis, 'PALLBEARER' (out 15.11.18)

I left the front door open
the cat escaped without it’s collar
my friends won’t hear him coming
oh to be born with fangs
and an understanding
that death is a gift we give ourselves

turned pale from the nicotine
the body sways from the beer poured generously
white knuckles knock my front door, and I feel like a stranger

The lights on in the kitchen
tea is made and pills are taken
I check the clock that’s always broken
my pulse, no longer racing, 
I shut my eyes and bend the knee

laces tied, and the dog sighs, but I’m not leaving yet
