about

Recorded on a calm, full moon evening in April 2020 in Muizenburg, Cape Town, during lockdown.

lyrics

"An afternoon stroll back to the car,
we talked for hours an inch apart
a bag on your back
trees overhead

I reached for a lemon hanging over the fence
and i gave it to you
the sun streaked clouds and the smell of citrus
follow you when you left

eyes, skin, lips, cheeks
we are just these human masks

there was a boy stuck in his head
he was not yet alive and not quite dead
when he awoke beside the bed
was a dream world that he left

eyes, skin, lips, cheeks
we are just these human masks"
