Exiles Of The Other World

[Verse 1]
Slipped through a crack in the oak tree bark
Ink on my hands from an old field guide
Found where the cast-out spirits park
Where every lost story went to hide
Fox with a halo speaks in storms
Wolf in a hoodie laughs in rhyme
Scaled wings folded in human form
Says
“You made it through this time”
[Chorus]
Another world
Where the wild ones go
All the banished hearts and the bones that glow
Every tongue collides in the evening air
I don’t know the words but they know I care
Another world
Where the strange feel right
And the roads all bend in reflected light
If I can’t belong where I was before
I’ll learn how to howl at a different door
[Verse 2]
Crow with a metal ring in her beak
Trading old names in a forest square
Therian kids playing hide-and-seek
Half in a snarl
Half in a dare
Unicorn limps with a silver cane
Says
“They feared my shine
So I walked away”
Dragon tattoos on a subway train
That only shows up when you stray
[Chorus]
Another world
Where the wild ones go
All the banished hearts and the bones that glow
Every tongue collides in the evening air
I don’t know the words but they know I care
Another world
Where the strange feel right
And the roads all bend in reflected light
If I can’t belong where I was before
I’ll learn how to howl at a different door
[Bridge]
Every exile’s accent
Thick with old goodbyes
Yet every broken sentence
Fits me like a size
I’ve been half-a-creature
In a people skin
Guess I had to lose one home
To finally move in (oh)
[Chorus]
Another world
Where the wild ones go
All the banished hearts and the bones that glow
Every tongue collides in the evening air
I don’t know the words but they know I care
Another world
Where the strange feel right
And the roads all bend in reflected light
If I can’t belong where I was before
I’ll learn how to howl at a different door

rock, Dreamy indie rock with slightly overdriven guitars, roomy live drums, and a wandering bass line. Verses sit in a hazy mid-tempo groove; chorus blooms with wider guitars, tambourine, and stacked echo-y harmonies. Bridge strips back to vocal and guitar swells before a final, cathartic chorus.
