Digital ashes Remind me of what I used to know Dust on our lashes What I can't see is what I own I found an island Goodbye to everything i've ever known This modern world beneath my feet Red wind it burns each person I meet In the world that i'm tethered to Now that I can't seem to remember All these memories of digital ashes When I have seen it all crumble All that's left of me are digital ashes I found an island tiptoed and walked through the primrose Each step i've taken Leads me into the wilderness unknown A wiccan child with her I roam This dirt I taste it builds my home That's I've grown so tethered to Now that I can't seem to remember All these memories of digital ashes When I have seen it all crumble All that's left of me are digital ashes My visions it seems Stranger than dreams A mechanical phoenix burns They scream "just breathe"

Sky's gone dark your voice i'm hearing This is the day, this is the day Every word comes crashing over When she speaks the wave, she speaks the wave Lighthouse beams across the water No time to be brave, time to be brave Hold my breath now as you whisper She speaks the wave, she speaks the wave I remember the times we stared into Eyes of strangers and learned the truth I wish I had the power of the moon To curve these tides and become immune Chasing you just like a shadow That's running away, running away Seafoam dreams fade into twilight When she speaks the wave, she speaks the wave Fireflies illuminating An innocent crime, innocent crime Still I listen through the heartache All of the time, all of the time I remember the times we stared into Eyes of strangers and learned the truth I wish I had the power of the moon To curve these tides and become immune Seafoam dreams fade into twilight When she speaks the wave, she speaks the wave Still I listen through the heartache All of the time, all of the time

Hexes + Oh's 03:32
Excuse me sir please stop activities Get off the stage and hang up your proclivities My head is spinning around the very sight of you Can't stay in the spotlight it's true it's true You say I'm wrong so make me right why don't you? Stop all your crying about your red white and blues I've found these games we play Twisted like rattlesnakes Are you? I'm not, not innocent You are just amusement Like me It's only Hexes and Oh's I stepped right out of the womb To walk straight into the tomb My devotion is rosicrucial to you Children sing in the streets Their voices so indiscreet Set the fire, set the fire round their feet I've found these games we play Twisted like rattlesnakes Are you? I'm not, not innocent You are just amusement Like me It's only Hexes and Oh's

From the edge of the sand by crystal beach Down in the river it's you I see Hold my arms I feel them shaking Hear the waves they are breaking I don't wanna lose don't wanna lose my soul my soul the oceans of you I don't know what is true in the oceans of you I dove into the oceans of you Nothing to touch, nothing to see, nothing to hold Now that it looks, looks like you've seen Seen a ghost Hold my arms I feel them shaking Hear the waves they are breaking I will fight I will fight for my soul my soul the oceans of you I don't know what is true in the oceans of you I dove into the oceans of you It's all gone quiet It's all gone still Wind is howling Against my will Each breath I'm talking I choke on guilt When we lovers From another time World was shaking Bonded by crime Stars are fading So run for your life the oceans of you I don't know what is true in the oceans of you I dove into the oceans of you

I took a walk back just to meet you on the borderline Where black waves roll on and on through mirrored shame I've waited years just to see the glow flicker in your eyes Through phosphorescent bones and familiar games You were right You were right In crystal beach New promises beyond our reach I don't want to say goodbye oh no not tonight Dive in deep Get lost and found in crystal beach I don't want to say goodbye Oh no not tonight This night's not getting warmer so let's throw some sticks and stones Follow the beat and the voices submit yourself to the drone We're just two criminal bodies bound by a million grains Being swept cross shores and swallowed by a neon wave You were right You were right In crystal beach New promises beyond our reach I don't want to say goodbye oh no not tonight Dive in deep Get lost and found in crystal beach I don't want to say goodbye Oh no not tonight One sordid night One violet ray Step in the light Come out to play Three hundred years Two eyes astray One place we know In crystal beach New promises beyond our reach I don't want to say goodbye Oh no not tonight You were right

Where are we going? I must find her I must become real Where are we going? Must be somewhere Where are we going? I must find her I must become real Where are we going? You will break

"Neon hued pop with lush soundscapes and bright vocals. The brilliant Canadian art-pop group The Nursery return with a gorgeous new collection of tasty tunes" - Diamond Deposits

"With an anthemic and boisterous sound, Toronto’s The Nursery is well on the path to being Canada’s next great indie-pop band. Digital Ashes is fantastic indie pop that is simultaneously dark, hypnotic, and euphoric" - The Revue

"Big and glossy, 3D-modeled, rose quartz and serene-colored pop music" - Chart Attack
