I Awoke | Nathaniel Bellows

Animated video for "I Awoke," from SWAN AND WOLF (Harmon Blunt Music, 2018). Music, lyrics, vocals, guitar, and animation by Nathaniel Bellows. Lyrics below: I Awoke “Oh, let me in!” the sea would sigh in the sound again Unloyal friend you read it right I won’t be back again (How) Let it be lost the world was never new enough Lay low like dust Lie between the seam of thing and thought And when the vow was made the note appeared And when the soul was saved it grew a tear And when the promise breaks the words would rise up off the page now, do you hear? I’ve come to know truth as more a door and less the roof but I can’t forgive you… And you don’t know why and I don’t know what to do “Again!” they said and held me to the ground “Amen!” the angels sang from stingy clouds And then I rose the ruined ghost that no one knew and no one figured out The will became the wheel became the spoke And more would be revealed but I awoke to a scene still flickering it could be sickening or all that I’m owed All that I’m owed Am I owed?
