Swim 03:37
lyrics

I’ll breathe you in the early morn Stare in awe when you adorn A dress of gleaming light That answers why Bring about a needed change I’ll shower in shed tears you rain Leap into the autumn of your eye Clear your mind And you will fly Away from all the conflicts you face everyday Baby, let’s escape Swim up to the stars And rest our heads upon the moon Peace will be ours Swim up to the stars And rest our heads upon the moon Peace will be ours soon Sprout amongst the trees around Where a smile that can drown The world into needed enlightenment Trickle down the water’s fall Fall asleep to the crickets call Share a sense of bewilderment Clear your mind And you will fly Away from all the conflicts you face everyday Baby, let’s escape Swim up to the stars And rest our heads upon the moon Peace will be ours Swim up to the stars And rest our heads upon the moon Peace will be ours soon

Here We Are 04:19

I’ve been lost So have you At what cost See a dream As a road To an end As a road We can bend Here we are sinking into melody Into melody Here we are sinking into melody Into melody Take a breath Succumb to space Air is thin And we fly Far beyond Old world skies Far beyond the wandering eyes Here we are sinking into melody Into melody Here we are sinking into melody Into melody Through all the lives I lived And all the things I had to give up Here I am still standing Through all the lives I lived And all the things I had to give up Here I am still standing

The Traveler 02:40
lyrics

When I was young My father always told me Always live life to the fullest With no regrets But I was young Careless and stupid I should have listened But I didn’t have the time I need to see it through his eyes I need to see through the disguise And be Be a man like him The positive Things in life bestowed upon me I have want to give away An immaterial man With a lack of wants Yet a want for peace To turn these nightmares Into dreams I need to see it through his eyes I need to see through the disguise And be Be a man like him

Closer Apart 04:12
lyrics

We went out On a Saturday night Heads were swimming In a sea of dreams After the cocaine blues And our heads took flight Snow was crisp under our feet I looked at you those eyes could see that a heart was true In the time of our lives I looked at you those eyes could see that a heart was true In the time of our lives Can’t see past the walls Of puffed out clouds Fauns are running in the woods We are hiding behind ancient trees But this moment won’t last I looked at you those eyes could see that a heart was true In the time of our lives I looked at you those eyes could see that a heart was true In the time of our lives Well on this special Saturday night We grew closer And further apart Growing up don’t make us smarter Nor does it make us stronger I looked at you those eyes could see that a heart was true In the time of our lives I looked at you those eyes could see that a heart was true In the time of our lives

Night drivin’ Rain ridin’ Lights are high and I’ve been doing this for too long Moneys gone and She’s still smilin’ Fucked up worse more than anyone could’ve ever done I’ve been lost Inside my head afraid to come out I can’t trust The monsters that I meet So I hide Underneath the covers Until the sun shines on my misery Whiskey sours In morning hours While in the showers I’m lost in a strange land Crops are gone and Baby’s cryin’ I am dying in the bed that I have made I’ve been lost Inside my head afraid to come out I can’t trust The monsters that I meet So I hide Underneath the covers Until the sun shines on my misery

Brother Orchid Maryville, Tennessee

In 2011, Chase Sterling came to Michael Knouff to record some demo songs as he had worked with Chase's previous band. Michael and Chase hit it off quickly, bonding over hookah, drinks, and conversations about their favorite bands. One day, Chase came to hang with Michael and asked if he would like to be more involved by helping write music for his project. Thus, Brother Orchid was born. ... more
