Name: Fata Morgana
Duration: P00H04M15S
Description: Little Rabbit, isolated from her friend, remembers their connection and waits helplessly for his return. Like a mirage in the distance, everything is uncertain—what is and what was ever real. Memory is likened to a cannibalistic monster in hiding. Core experiential themes of this album are repeated here—liminality in particular.

lyrics

Off in the distance I see a shape
Like a palace in the sky
Tugging the knots inside of a body
The natural divide

But it’s usually just of reach
So I look back to the screen
But I saw you walk straight out of a memory
And I was keen to follow

I recall from from back in the dream
Whenever we first meet I talk too freely
I give up the game right away

Under the stairs are the borderlands
Where I’m not smiling
Heavy and hiding
Oh, if you’d stay a few more hours
Shape shifter, I know you can

Where you gaze the whole world changes
I see it passing over me again

Off in the distance I see a shape
Like a fortress in the sky
A question mark inside of a body
Opens its horrors
Spinal cords
Lips of the roses
Eater of corpses
Hold up my hands in the bestial den
Enough of this golden skin

Well lure me in let the rest dissolve
On your home planet we battle with space
To make a vacuum of our amends
I tell myself that separation
Is a kind of touching
When you are gone

I sit upon the twilit shore
Wait for the vision to reappear
Your castle on the horizon
