Happiness

from Water Lark [EP] by Cepheid Flux

	/

lyrics

standing at the edge of a white field
under the winter solstice, and you are just
a shadow of your life;
the ones you loved, left in train stations or in
the narrow streets of foreign cities.

in the cliffs that rise damp with steam
is a small city hidden in memory. in each room
of that lonely apartment, he wakes again and again
to the echo of you.

this far north, the winter is long.
at nightfall you gather branches among the broken snow,
singing softly from a past that you have borrowed,
naming faces as if the names could speak,
could tell all you have left unsaid.

here, walking among the winter fields
far from home,
he will always remember you,
like the bare outlines of a dream,
from which he still believes
he is waking.

about

Cepheid Flux Montréal, Québec

My music is like a teenage girl's diary. Sloppy penmanship, impulsive emotional musings, and hearts drawn around glued-in magazine cutouts of Justin Timberlake. Every original electronica composition here was conceived and completed in single sittings of 5-8 hours.After all, you certainly wouldn't go back and edit your diary entries from that summer back in '94.... That'd just be absurd. ... more
