lyrics

My only expectation
Is a one for the winner

My only consolation brings me back

My every floating thought has
A run through the filter

The habits of the station
I reside

I sing and swing in the key
Of an ever-changing motif

I'm super glue and chamomile
I'm Jesus Christ with prayer wheel

I drum and strum to the beat
I'm always stomping my feet

I'm nothing new and nothing old
I'm sinking through
And uncontrolled

When she talks to me
I feel she's a dream
And everyone I know
Thinks I'm crazy

While she's in my mind
And pills bring her down
Everyone I know
Sees me shaking

My clever incarnations
Are too much for the average

My many reservations bring me down

My every fleeting muse has
A run through the ringer

The libel of the unintentional

I sting and fling with the bees
That could never understand me

I'm casualty and carelessness
I'm thinly sliced with heritage

I play away with my mind
in a superficial dropsy

I'm riding on and tapping out
I'm confident and bringing doubt

When she talks to me
I feel she's a dream
And everyone I know
Thinks I'm crazy

While she's in my mind
And pills bring her down
Everyone I know
Sees me shaking

When she talks to me
I feel she's a dream
And everyone I know
Thinks I'm crazy

While she's in my mind
And pills bring her down
Everyone I know
Sees me shaking

about

Ocean Audra image

Ocean Audra Saint Paul, Minnesota

Ocean Audra is an experimental indie-pop band fronted by producer/multi-instrumentalist Spencer Charles Langenhop. Based in Minneapolis, the members of Ocean Audra were brought together through a shared love of layered vocal harmonies, loud drums, and lyrics that provoke the desire to dance and crawl into the fetal position at the same time. ... more
