A melancholy, hypnotic song written by my friend Rob and myself, about longing for something just out of reach.

Story behind the song
Rob originally wrote the lyrics as a poem. He sent it to Elise and I and allowed us to edit it to fit the musical arrangement we'd come up with.
Lyrics
Wordless, thoughts through your eyes That cool bath kept me mesmerized Too many thieves on the roadside A cool breeze kept me hypnotized A backside burner, simmering low Just let it grow It's a gamble I know, I know A backside burner, simmering low, let it grow The red sunrise Just put me to bed Keep rolling north- Past hills Pushed up through the dark side Big thoughts from the outside There's a reason to go Keep it simmering low It's all a gamble I know, I know A backside burner, simmering low, keep on simmering Wordless Mesmerized Hypnotized Simmering low Need to get them on the inside Thoughts through your eyes Are the difference
