ROOT. ◈ INTRO - SHAMANIC WHISPER ◈ Smoke... Under the tongue... Red petal... Black sun... Something sweet came through the door... HAA!! --- ◈ VERSE I - DESTRUCTIVE LOW END ◈ Red on the lip Gold in the eye Sweet little drip Watch how it dries Petal got a price Scent got a name Everybody reaches when the candle takes flame Honey on the finger Honey on the blade One hand blessing One hand gets paid Flower in the mouth Ash in the breath Soft little touch... then silence. --- ◈ PRE-HOOK - RITUAL WHISPER ◈ Don't ask the garden what it knows. Just watch where the shadow goes. --- ◈ HOOK - HYPNOTIC ◈ Let it bloom... Let it sink... Perfume in the air Mud underneath Slow... Lower... Something moving where the light don't reach. --- ◈ VERSE II - BROKEN RITUAL ◈ White robe... bare foot... Bell ring... door shut... Name in the book face in the smoke Everybody smiling when the old words choke Gold thread round a borrowed neck Sweet wine running down the deck Kiss the flower kiss the hand Take the blessing take the brand Then the garden turns its teeth... Something underneath. --- ◈ BRIDGE - SHAMANIC SPELL ◈ Petal, metal, little medal Golden mouth, a hollow vessel Honey, money, funny hunger Pretty tongue, a buried thunder Bless it, dress it, press it, price it Touch it, taste it, sanctify it Name it, frame it, sell the sacred Crown the crown and call it ancient Silk on skin Sin within Sweet on tongue Steel within Root in dirt Gold in hand Smoke rise... Smoke land... What you water what you worship What you feed will feed you back. HAA!! Roots don't need applause. --- ◈ FINAL HOOK - VERY LOW ◈ Let it bloom... Let it sink... Eyes on the bloom... Hands in the soil... Low... Deep... Deep... --- ◈ FINAL SOUND ◈ ROOT... 🌱
