lyrics

I can’t even come to terms with time
And all the things that moved me to this stride
Even after vengeance was born from hate
Eternity has come to dictate my fate

I can’t quite describe
The feelings in my head in my old life
Right before my time comes to die
Know what I’ll do
With kingdom true
The end is soon
For stupid motherfuckers like you

These serpents sing
As I stand atop this cliff
Insisting that the wind will be enough to lift me
My thoughts I bring
This heavy mind they know I have
Will be the one to break my balance down and tip me

I can’t find the wisdom that I seek
Lost the drive to move inside
That wind beneath my wings, now
I know that it all ends up on me
To discern from black and white
In this time encased in night

Know that I seek
Merely more than just revenge
I’ll make you want to beg to see the end
Until we meet
Fire burns inside my chest
Learned fury that strives inside my head

All that is right
Will come to light
In this time encased in night

I can’t find the wisdom that I seek
Cross that tally, mark the fifth
To the magnum on my hip, now
I know that it all ends up on me
Put these cowboys to bed
Heavy metal, heavy lead

Led down that road
‘Til the end now
Baby, I don’t know
I was led down that road
‘Til the end now
Baby, I don’t know

I can’t quite describe
The burden of my debt to my old life
Everything I did led into regret
Now Imma show the pain I haven’t shown
These stupid motherfuckers yet

My eyes don’t fear
The sight of hardship anymore
My heart’s sincere
To cherish what you gained is to lose
I can’t have that again
Can’t have that again
In my success
This will be the end

I can’t find the wisdom that I seek
But judges will rejoice
When they all hear the sinners sing, now
I know that it all ends up on me
With my quick hands I’ll dispel thunder

about

Astral Nomad image

Astral Nomad Toronto, Ontario

Astral Nomad's music can be described as the love child of Daft Punk and Kavinsky, whom Andre 3000 occasionally babysat as it grew to be best friends with Frank Ocean.

Their mix of intricate grooves, popping synths, smooth melodies and just a pinch of goofiness makes them a trio to be experienced. ... more
