about

This single was recorded as a pilot for the completely DIY method Koala Fires used to create their upcoming album "Doom of the Norns." The song was recorded mixed and mastered entirely without external resource.

lyrics

We took a walk while the moon was full
You told me you were feeling it pull you
toward the woods outside the house and
I though that sounded alright

We built a city out of old tin cans
in the dry bed of the creek
and we imagined the people who lived there
and what they'd do when it turned spring

And so we slept there until the sun came up
then you turned to me and said
"We all have both the night and day
forever in our heads"

"And equal parts of each
we're poised, but we're impeached
by our own inability to
keep both sides the same."

"The morning breaks and midnight falls
and we are prisoners trapped within their walls."

"The sun it burns and the moon it wanes
and we marvel at the signs and times they bring."

I promise you.
I will be true
to the equal parts of day and night in me.

I won't fail you
but if I do
please bring about an equinox in me.

I promise you.
I will be true
to the equal parts of day and night in me.

I will fail you
but when i do
please bring about an equinox in me.
