I was slumbering, preoccupied with breathing fire and inhaling stars Drinking rivers dry and stomping mountaintops Opened my eyes to find my hair silver and grey Crows feet and bags beneath my eyes I have been fast asleep within a hundred thousand layers of my skin What had become of me?

about

The live version was recorded with David Andreas, in his living room, on September 2014. Nothing is amplified, it's just the sound of us playing together. You can watch the video of that performance here: youtu.be/NXanpP7VXpo

The EP version was released on the Always Is The Time To Make Everything EP, back when Ocean Leaves was Timothy's solo project.
