O Hunter 04:12
Run dear hart through the wooded dark Hallowed is the name of your breath Fury adorned, so forlorn Yearning for the youth of day O Hunter, slow down girl I know that you can Violet inversion, give coercion How can you say it was truth Go chase the rain, catch nothing, tame no one, Bring your colors down O Hunter, slow down girl I know that you can Give yourself a lighter load Stars align your road No more for the just End this quest for us O Hunter slow down

Well cherry candies and liquor are runnin’ through my veins Uh-oh I’m sugar rush, I am adrenaline I make a din I am a tension and I’m snappin’ all the time At frequencies that travel overseas and shatter every Champagne glass, with high E’s and F’s Flip the bird, have you heard? Or did you choose to lose your hearing? Your oleander eyes are inviting, But I’m fine thanx What about the party all of the star heat comin’ off the Celebrities at the show who think that you’re Cool and tool worthy (there was no party at this time) But to discover what is underneath in the dark Using sheets, oh just remember I’m a Tart, sweet, hard to beat part of your heart strings Your oleander eyes are inviting, Your oleander eyes are enticing, But I’m fine thanx You were very quiet when I came back home to visit As you floated in the sun by the sea Parted lips and supple thighs, your dime-back novel cheap disguise Silently saying you will find me Oh well I’m sure, I’m sure I’m sure I think I’m sure I know I sure as Hell can’t stand up to these demands Flip the bird, say the word, and never try to try too hard again Your oleander eyes are inviting, Your oleander eyes are enticing, Your oleander eyes are all I never want and more I’m fine thanx

Bird + Cat 03:24
Tuesday at the end of the millennium and I don’t know what to do with myself She lounges like a cat in the summer sun, glowing after the biggest solstice moon It was so bright you could still see it in her eyes, if she’d ever open them or take off her shades And when she speaks oh it’s all happiness and big skies and when she dreams oh it is Christmas on Mayday Fingers finding more ways to float away, drinking up the glass’s advice And when the watchband no longer seems to fit right, feather off and whisk the time away Feather off, feather out, feather light me up – I can see you launching from the fire escape And when you say you’re going it’s just a big show and when you leave the sunflowers never Turn back Turn back Turn back Let me grasp ‘Cause she says “he’s still incense curlin’ through my fingers, he’s still nonsense falling off my tongue “He’s swoopin’ round and I’m stuck on this prairie and “Has he ever really sung about me?” Oh I have (Have you every really sung about me?)

Glory 03:33
Dangling out on my own A red ensnarement, a velvet syndrome Nothing keeps me from the sky And too much lurks inside this darkness, pulling over my eyes How do I fly Not a single sign of bloom Pitch drapes hanging from the moon I sing to keep it all from death The choice is her or the darkness, pulling back again I choose to end There is a light I’m in this fight And through the night I’m holding out for Glory As a lark I am sold All to her for her to unfold The vines grow high, and I grip tighter For my long time comin’, over horizons Glory

about

This is Desmond's debut EP. Each track is different from each other, with influences ranging from soft ballads to hard rock. The only thing tying them together is that they all mention a different flower - a small garden of songs.
