“I finished recording The Floating Years much like I finished recording The Golden Age & The Silver Girl, on the precipice of a massive life change. In 2011, I recorded a record with a wounded heart two days before getting on a plane and moving from Atlanta to Los Angeles. In 2018, I finished re...
[Intro]
A priest got cancer
So he pray for answers
But the wind was silent
There was no new chatter
Woo hoo hooo
[Chorus]
From a hospital bed
In a certain state of mind
Love rises like an ocean
That reaches to the sky
And death does not exist
When you press yourself against it
For a blanket perfect silence
For a pillow blooming violets
Singing God will hold your head up high
And God will hold your peace
In the castles, pass the setting sun
I Believe
I Believe
[Verse 1]
Priest got better
But still no answers
And he missed his violets
So he searched for feathers
[Chorus]
You just take half a dozen grams
For a certain state of mind
As love dissolves the boundaries
Between your heart and mine
And death does not exist
When you press yourself against it
For a blanket perfect silence
For a pillow blooming violets
Singing God will hold your head up high
And God will hold your peace
In the castles, pass the setting sun
I Believe
I Believe
[Verse 2]
Priest acquired
A new gospel fire
When he was asked his secret
The Priest got fired
[Chorus]
But from a hospital bed
In a certain state of mind
Love melts right through the masks
We wear all our lives
And death does not exist
When you press yourself against it
For a blanket perfect silence
For a pillow blooming violets
Hallelujah, I am stepping through
Hallelujah, Its Enough
Nothing exists
Apart from this
Love
I am all
I am all
I am love
[Outro}
Priest sits quiet
Now years in silence
He becomes that island
Of blooming violets
Singing God will hold your head up high
And God will hold your peace
In the castles, pass the setting sun
I Believe
I Believe
