Fresh as paint, you are blurring They painted you into a corner of the room where we left our rogue bloom You took cold turkey and the plume Left it on the center of a table Until it went to black fried eggs (Pilgrims v. indians)
2.
Osiris 05:48
Ra Set apart, a seed akin now cast to seas of none Tears from sun-white envy I will kill my mother's son King I am of triangles you set to end this reign, Cut me to a thousand points across the terran plane Ra Lover, husband, king I seek to put the pieces back Hathor, Gods and sister flock together at my back Eagle of eye formed in flesh to war and reclaim rites Isis, mother, kite of goddess breathe two wards of light. Ra I hear scarab crimson Wings beat the heart black Underworld thou Death is judge now You are beyond us Sun You rest within me I am the rising flood I rest within you

Sunny Day 04:08
I’ve always been a sunny day I won’t ever stop shining Clouds and space may block my rays It’s only ever been about time You might wake up without me You’ll wonder if I’m still there Cause I’m still rising, and you will see The memory will help you to not be scared It can’t rain all the time We have to be steady Hang on there’s a sign You will know when I’m there

Killing Seed 06:22
I know what you are The judge sleeping I've seen all of your eyes Still in me All other kind Spread oblique Sown and grown alike In a dream Undoubting Blinded torn apart Everything Born out from the earth A killing seed Spent out youth Poison breathed Needled in our vein How it bleeds Inky Years come and gone by The eye is calm, The ink's still warm In the sun, In the palm Shades a new bloom Spread not gone away Circling round my head Circling round our heads
5.
The Fruit 05:06
Hi (hey) lo love Hi (hey) lo love Now we can feel Something to hold There in A breeze blows Through the dust The fruit brings Our trust Too old to bloom Too young to wither Bark stained by dew Of endless dawn That break anew Shepherd our roots Tearing the loam Asleep through winter, Lost in a dream Waking to love, Flowing in spring Marked in the ground Here we will be Eternally Will (our) love bring two (hearts) that sing Clear in harmony Though we've sung Many songs A breeze blows Through the dust The fruit brings Our trust (Beauty's name Bound by shame But a banished flame Shall burn again A light with no end) Under the storm Holding our form We are together Changing our roots Cracking the fruit All this will weather Until it's gone Darkness withdrawn Til we are new

Going on in to get your teeth and hair cut If this was not the last one of the friendly Gestures of your growing up and down then Send it to the former husband I’m Over the hill, under the hill Desisted insistence of upbringing Times when we feel like singing A line decides where it wants to go and What goes beyond lines in the sand is Over the hill, under the hill Skirted between folded lands Of knowing what is underhand Return to the place I used to know What was in sand is now in snow Time makes it hard for us to see When I don’t know how I used to be “How can I know what I think Until I see what I say?”

Blackstaff 09:56
In the winter chill we approach the tower Resting on a hillside with corpses of the brave Fellow victims of chaos that dark mage has raised Will we join them in silent prayer against the Fey? I just don’t know what he sees in the things he has Empty and ill-gotten wealth held by dirty hands Unafraid we lift our fists in the icy air There is a god - fear him, feel him Taking over, watching, waiting Reaching out with his blackstaff to sow discord and sorrow Author of all pain and war, servant of the great deceiver Suddenly I see it with my eyes Through the smoke and fire, the remains of my former lives An eternal door leading out to the void beyond the stars I will step right through, I have nothing to lose but myself

about

Austin-based band Food Group has carved out a niche in the local music landscape with their wide-ranging and exploratory approach to psychedelic pop and rock, crafting challenging but accessible songs replete with pastoral textures, rolling grooves, soaring melodies, and introspective lyrics plumbing the depths of love, loss, and spirituality. Their unique approach continues on their sophomore LP "Thee Fantastic", an expansive affair that paints characters, both mundane and mythological, who navigate the wide range of human experience, all brought to intimate life by Eric Lyday's clear, direct vocals.
