Swarm (Official Audio)
Channel: Faces in the Clouds
Date: 18/06/2021

The second track on the Forest for the Trees EP was co-written by Mintz from Mt Juno. Go check out more of his stuff here: https://open.spotify.com/artist/12Y4t4naUER5PEAgMi2IRv?si=KtJoE7Q5T3iJeEgFafLFFg&dl_branch=1

While Swarm is still very much an electronic track, I took it in a more proggy direction, mixed with a touch of reggae in the percussion. 
Hope you enjoy!

Lyrics: 

Some remember a sunny spring day
Refracted in glasses, so crimson and placid
Escaping the modern gray

A day when ashes didn’t pour like rain
And war wasn’t violent, the sky wasn’t silent
And never a source of pain

Is there a reason we can’t seem to see
A passion that’s lacking, the fact that we’re tracking
The myriad waves of green

And all his promises, may they come true
‘Cause if we trusted wrong, then not before long
The bill comes due

We’re liars of a swarm for a name so pure
And for the truth, we’ll be pretenders
Fire from the sky will be the cure
For all their ills, lest they remember

We all bowed before the altar
Of a self-made man, and those who ran
We drove afar

So when we finally broke the last taboo
There was no one there in the poisoned air
To stick it to

We’re liars of a swarm for a name so pure
And for the truth, we’ll be pretenders
Fire from the sky will be the cure
For all their ills, lest they remember
