lyrics

I can't stop telling all the pretty flowers that their blooms are not as beautiful as I remembered them to be
And even if their seasons changed and scarcer be their living rain I'm not quite satisfied with how it is they've tried...

I can't stop telling all the pretty flowers that their blooms are not as beautiful as I remembered them to be
and even when their season's changed with beauty stretching frantically, the glory of the colorful and variations haven't etched their name,
In the palms of my hand

And everyone I know, says "Oh how you've grown"
But I'm just cursing stones for being thrown.

If I were chose to craft a rose and sew the ground some better clothes Id think myself to be the best and weed out any help you'd give
and direction if it's gently gave can lead the chained down to a flame, that'll melt the link and from the ash and we'll dance as if we never were ashamed, we never were ashamed!

Still, everyone I know, says "Oh how you've grown"
and I'm just cursing stones for being thrown.

I'll bleed, all my words
I'll bleed everything I say
There is heaven in the lily fields
May the living and rotting make me heal

about

Pelican Jones Austin, Texas

I live in Austin, I love playing and writing music with friends. My musical influences are many and range from early 2000's hardcore to choral arrangements from Swedish composers.

You can get me to do most things if a good meal or a good dessert is promised in exchange.

I hope you like this album and share it with people you love. ... more
