lyrics

hold on to it
no this can't be real
i've heard it's the one thing that you can feel
you know to breathe and you feel it's all wrong
i know it's a long long

'til the day when we run to the heart of the sun
all your fears will be gone
turn to glass
or the night when you shone
you were wise as you ceded your throne
to the beasts of the earth we belong

hold on to it
no this can't be real
i've heard it's the one thing that you can feel
you know to breathe and you feel it's all wrong
i know it's a long long

'til the day when we run to the heart of the sun
all your fears will be gone
turn to glass
or the night when you shone
you were wise as you ceded your throne
to the beasts of the earth we belong

supple ground burned in fires as old as need
need we feed once we forget who we are
we are gods and we'll decide when we go
helps to see the answer is in the falling trees

hold on to it
no this can't be real
i've heard it's the one thing that you can feel
you know to breathe and you feel it's all wrong
you know it's a long long

about

Mark Darling Denver, Colorado

"Like a delirious, forbidden encounter between Nick Drake and Jeff Buckley in the afterlife, (Mark) Darling's music soothes, caresses and titillates one minute, then stings, teases and torments the next."
Eryc Eyl - Westword
