Future Bones 04:47
If future takes me to find our bones i'll mold them together and desert this form Break (break) original rules that would guide the way we'd move until we required cover and strange spirits remained I can center on such things to build (to build, to build) higher good And I can center ways to build (to build) from set stains in the dirt but tied to the past Who saw it destruct (ooh) but never could stop to ease it...? Breaking down our form so patiently And I have a design for this If what is left is an energy then what is gone? Not creating walls, life gathers at our backs Like many others we would come undone where we were loose I become an island I do become an island I watch life from afar before they find me I become an ocean I do become an ocean I carry carry much deeper than I see Now I adore you I do adore you finally I adore you Finally I do adore you Breaking down our form so patiently And I have a design for this. If what is left is an energy then what is gone? Not creating walls, life gathers at our backs Like many others we would come undone where we were loose Not creating walls, life gathers at our backs Like many others we would come undone where we were loose

Who are you? Must be brother Rooted by you Like no other Oh this story This story must be jaded Oh it's jaded ah ah.... Who are you? Must be sister Rooted by you Like no other Oh this story Oh this story must be gone Intertwined by things we'll never see, never feel, never know, never we try You can try to think about the ones that think about you Well I know, But I say, Please don't go, But you can't stay I've got no choice But to leave I've got no voice Nor eyes to see Working for the Working for the queen We control the Sugar to the Queen Lost in these thoughts that you'll never know, never hear, never ask, never you'll care You can try to put yourself behind the eyes of others Well I know, But I say, Please don't go, But you can't stay I've got no choice But to leave I've got no voice Nor eyes to see Working for the Working for the queen We control the Sugar to the Queen

Mess it Up 04:12
When the world begins to pull you down you fill me with  (no words) or wishing wells. To keep me safe you pull me out (in). Sorry you look so tired, I might be strange. You know I am Take control if you fear something. Why'd we mess it up? Why'd we mess it up? Baby I don't I don't understand you. When the sky begins to lose its ground, we settle in side. It won't be long before we're out on top again. Why'd we mess it up? Why'd we mess it up? Baby I don't I don't understand you. Pushing to fit and not stun in your silence.
Willing to wait and not press on our backs.
All this. all this. All certainty falls in parts
Will you return once i've settled my sound? It's a pity the light is gone.
Will we set ourselves at ease while disarmed.
All ties are out.
It's a pity the light is gone.
Looking down can't sing no righteous songs.
Will we set ourselves again? 
 Pushing to fit and not stun in your silence.
Willing to wait and not press on our backs.
All this. all this. all this. All certainty falls.
Will you return once i've settled my sound? When the world begins to pull you down, you pull me in.
Darling listen up I know these words are humbling. Why'd you mess it up?
Why'd you mess it up?
Why when?
Baby I don't I don't understand you. When the sky begins to lose its ground we settle in side.  It won't be long before we're out on top again. Why'd we mess it up?
Why'd we mess it up?
Why when?
Baby I do not
I don't understand you. You are soundly silent
Searching her to find it
And you love your world and you find you finally found it.
She is such a dreamer.
So you'll have to seek her.
Would you like to meet?
Are you already gone? It's a pity the light is gone.
Will we find light is drawn when ties are off?
It's a pity the light is gone.
Pity we don't even think we need our righteous songs. Will we set ourselves...

Bling 04:04
There are no boundaries I don't understand this Do you recognize Do you, do you recognize my voice? I'm not always breathing Though the heart's beating My eyes are reaching I hear you trying to pull me out from what's synthesized Will you recognize my voice? Who decides that this is necessary? Blocking out the frequencies of the unknown Witness sees velocity that's phasing Most of this is hiding What is hiding what is hiding what is hiding? What do you mean? I don't know Just a sign of science Just a sign of science What did you see? Eyes to the floor And if I do not understand it, was it real? What do you mean? I don't know There are no boundaries I don't understand this Do you recognize Do you do you recognize my voice? I'm not always breathing Velocity is phasing What decides that this is necessary? Blocking out the frequencies of the unknown Witness said... They say ,They say, They say Reality is bending Most of us are hidinh What is hiding what is hiding what is hiding? What do you mean? I don't know Just a sign of science Just a sign of science What did you see? Eyes to the floor And if I do not understand it, was it real? What if I do not understand it, was it real, was it real? What do you mean? I don't know There are no boundaries l don't understand this

about

Bells Atlas Oakland, California

Bells Atlas’ latest offering the mystic digs further into their soulful buoyancy to explore both sound and storytelling. The record can be seen as sci-fi fantasy of two first-generation Nigerian American women coming to terms with a mental health diagnosis, and at the same time, a very universal exploration of how we make sense of reality. ... more
