Tangerine Cathedral” Verse 1 I swallowed a clock made of velvet and steam Now minutes are melting inside of a dream The ceiling is breathing in ultraviolet sighs And horses with halos are blinking their eyes My shadow grew feathers and drifted away It said, “I’ll be back on a circular day.” The floor turned to water, but nobody drowned We just floated in circles without touching ground Pre-Chorus Neon nectar, liquid air Silver spiders in my hair Sugar thunder, lemon rain Carousel inside my vein Chorus Spin me through the tangerine cathedral Where the sunlight tastes like sound Let the violet bells be people Let the gravity unwind We are lanterns made of whisper We are echoes made of flame Peel the sky like painted paper Fold the universe again ⸻ Verse 2 A staircase grew out of the back of my head It spiraled through colors no language has said I climbed past a sermon of luminous bees Who hummed about love in hexadecimal keys My heartbeat dissolved into crystalline foam A hummingbird told me, “You’re already home.” The mountains were singing in backward refrain Spelling my name in invisible rain Pre-Chorus Molten mirrors, spiral tide Planets blooming from inside Velvet lightning, prism skin Open wide and fall within Chorus Spin me through the tangerine cathedral Where the sunlight tastes like sound Let the violet bells be people Let the gravity unwind We are lanterns made of whisper We are echoes made of flame Peel the sky like painted paper Fold the universe again ⸻ Bridge (Slow, eerie, echo vocals) Close your eyes — See the louder light Lose your name — Wear the night Turn the silence inside out Let the stars grow from your mouth (Then the band absolutely unravels for 90 seconds.) Fuzz guitar screaming. Phaser on everything. Bassline crawling like a lava lamp. Drummer possibly levitating. ⸻ Final Chorus (Huge, layered harmonies) Spin me through the tangerine cathedral Where the oceans learn to fly We are breathing through the needle Of a cosmic butterfly Break the mirror, drink the shimmer Let the halo multiply We were never really bodies We were only passing sky
