about

This is a song about liminality, the in-between. How if you stand on a beach and watch, you sometimes start to feel all the ways everything connects, and the porous nature of our identities.

lyrics

Lyrics
I walk till I meet the sea. I was a bird before I was me, I was a bird, salty and free.
The line it is blurred tween the sky and the sea, the Lin hit is blurred tween the bird and me, the line it is blurred tween the bird and me.

Where the sea meets the sky. Where your opening hand reaches mine. The world we define will be weathered by time, but there where we seek we will find, the untrimmable light we enshrine.

I'll walk till my wings return. Feel the heat from the sand on my feet gently burn.
Hold me my love, and help me discern, my heart fly's above while my head tries to learn.
Hold me my love for this ground is not firm. Hold me my love for I beat and I yearn for what was above to someday return, to find I'm enough.

Where the sea meets the sky. Where your opening hand reaches mine. The world we define will be weathered by time, but there where we seek we will find, the untrimmable light we enshrine.
