lyrics
Hello goodnight / you know I care And the wind / in the sky Water / and spell Hello goodnight / you’re my friend in the clouds Will you watch / over me Will you hold / my hand And your jealousy’s haunting my garden And your heart is a tethered remnant I don’t think I can bear the weight of you And I know I will cross the tracks Good day goodbye / you know the time When season brings leisure / to halt again The circle you missed / is the very the you are Let go / and perish With the sun / in your soul Please hand over sacrificial grain I sense you’re holding something back

about

"Mansion Beach is house built around the psyche, that knows your steps and remembers your childhood, the floor creaking around you despite knowing all the quiet spots. Mansion Beach is a place where once the sun sets bonfires are lit, a ravenous party begins full of green-eyed goddesses, the looming dangers of sketchy back street shakedowns, dancing alone you know it’s you who ain’t fast enough to cut the air, and in the cold sand of the late night the intrepid hero will ask to use your telephone. In a full listen, the next far-off dawn appears and the confrontation of the city skyline in one direction and the endless beach in the other fills bleary minds with remembrances, perfect and scary dreamscapes, dark fantasies and yearning love. Mansion Beach is a Ulyssean synthesis of our youth, exploring the emotional time and space between that first Genesis dawn and our last. It delivers us, like rich blue jet-set sea-glass, to that high-watermark of experience where all of the above meet. Mansion Beach will infiltrate you. It will destroy your discipline."
