lyrics

The tilt of your chin,
The set of your brow,
Sculpted for artful display.
You hold your head high,
Expecting to fly from the prow,
When it’s anchors aweigh.

The curve of your mouth,
The words that come out,
All pretty and painted to please,
You laugh and you smile,
You flirt and beguile,
Seduce with the greatest of ease.

You throw yourself into the light,
Your flaws look so small from down here,
We can’t see them if you stand just right,
Take care not to slip my dear,
You can mind your step but when you fall
You're going to break your crown,
When you stand atop your pedestal
You know it's a long way down,
You know it's a long way down.

You need to be seen,
You seek out the gaze,
That proves that you’re worthy of love,
You strive to delight,
To charm and amaze,
To climb head and shoulders above.

Adoring, engrossed,
Your penitent host
Gather besotted below,
But always in time,
Gilt loses its shine;
The queen and her reign overthrown.

You bathe yourself under the light,
It shines through the cracks in your veneer,
We can see them when you stand just right,
Take care not to slip my dear,
You can mind your step but when you fall
You're going to break your crown,
When you stand atop your pedestal
You know it's a long way down,
You know it's a long way down.

The Aeon Wanderers Boston, Massachusetts

The Aeon Wanderers are a transatlantic duo who have been recording together since 2016. With a distinctive vocal blend and a penchant for sometimes dramatic musical arrangements, their songs flow from hauntingly etherial to brazenly bombastic, with occasional stops at points in between. Their debut album, Fictional Histories, is a conversation about mid-life arrival and where the paths lead next. ... more
