about

This song is about creating my own visual world. The lyrics are influenced by "Alice in Wonderland" by Charles Lutwidge Dodgson, visual poetry, Syd Barrett and my thoughts on the role of art in my life. Recorded in basement bathroom in Philly. J'aime les fleurs.

lyrics

Roses painted black
Alice in wonderland
Oh no

Texting all through the air
Visual poetry floats in here

Forms fading Cheshire cat
Syd laughs at mad cap laughs

Twinkle little bat
How I wonder where you're at

Flowers dipped in bleach
Philosophy of speech

Tears blur vision
Art is my religion
But you are first
