The debut single for White Taper Candles.

"Just toss the flowers in the sea 
It'll be the last thing to take me 
The current underneath, 
It'll be the only thing to take me down. 
Take me now. 

I hear the call of the sirens, 
I know that I'm done fighting. 
I let the waves crash over me, 
So I can be clean. 
My iniquity, 
It'll be the end of me so take me down. 
Take me now."

Cede

The fourth track explores the symbiotic nature of control, and the lack thereof. 

Released on the day of ♄, hour of ♀.

*Thanks to The Amarla for providing etheric vocals for the last chorus.*

"Find me dead here in the valley.
Cave in my chest with your hooves.
My tongue rolls in my mouth trying to form words, 
But I only get dust. 
It's not enough.
It never will be.

These dry bones are dying for some life.
Won't you quench my thirst? 
Is this what I deserve?

Starved from a better world to rot here alone.
Kept in a wooden box under the legs of your throne.
I'm still here, waiting for you.
I'm can't do anything that you don't want me to.


These dry bones are dying for some life.
Won't you quench my thirst? 
Is this what I deserve?

I've got thorns in my palms,
After sleepless nights in the garden,
Digging out my grave.
I'm too far gone to be saved,
Wasting away.

These dry bones are dying for some life.
Won't you quench my thirst? 
Is this what I deserve?"

Dry Bones

The fifth track explores themes of arrogance, greed, vanity, and ambition.

Released on the day of ☿, hour of ☉.

"Staring off into the heavens,
Grinding my teeth til bone is sand.
Feathers fall like iron nails,
Striking fire where they land.

Another Patron Saint falling from grace,
I watch while he meets his end,
Devoured by human wolves,
No blade to defend.

You flew too close to the sun,
I saw you plummeting down,
So I dug a pit beneath you,
And put you in the ground.

A fist raised in defiance,
Shaking enough to crack the earth.
You're too prideful to realize,
Your misbegotten worth.

You said you wanted freedom,
So it was built for you with no way to return.
The feathers became like wicks when you crashed and burned.

You flew too close to the sun,
I saw you plummeting down,
So I dug a pit beneath you,
And put you in the ground.

Your wax wings can't hold the weight of your fathers failure,
You're falling down.
And I'm not here to be your saviour,
I'm here to see you out.

You flew too close to the sun,
I saw you plummeting down,
So I dug a pit beneath you,
And put you in the ground."

Kismet

"Where do you hide when the sky falls down?
Where will you run when you hear the bellowing of the hounds?
We can find what was lost when this all blows over.
We can find what was lost when this all blows over.

Where do you hide when the sky falls down?
Where will you run when you hear the beckoning of the hounds?
We can find what was lost if this all blows over.
We can find what was lost if this all blows over."

Lost
