lyrics

The sunspot marks my place in this room.
Just gather 'round in a circle.
I build a fire, I'll make flowers bloom.
Open your eyes while I try it.
You never noticed I was here the whole time,
gathering all of the details.
Now you see me. I'm larger than life.
Too bad you're late to the party.

I have written the flight plan.
I've made peace with my soul.
I am over the ocean,
far from the coast.

I dig the takeoff. The sky is so blue.
Finally my head has gone quiet.
This loneliness has got a strength of its own.
No hazards where I'm flying.
They'll never touch me. they'll never pull me down.
I've got more forces in hiding.
You might be clever, but you're not built to last.
No, not in this weather.

I live in "fight or flight".
Survival's all I've got.
No parachute, no safety net.
My adversaries place their bets.

I have written the flight plan.
I've made peace with my foes.
I am over the ocean,
far from the coast.

A New Low (extended 24 bit download)
by Vapors of Morphine

supported by 5 fans who also own “Flightplan by Alien Knife Fight”

Morphine were, and remain, an absolute singularity, even among the heady rush of exciting and innovative rock bands springing forth from the post-Nirvana major label gold rush of the early 90s. With Vapors, Morphine founders Colley and Deupree, along with New Orleans bluesman Jeremy Lyons, give the lie to the old adage that American lives have no second acts. Long live low rock, and long live Vapors of Morphine. Creep Church
