two eyes in the darkness
two guides leading me
we’ll cross the rubicon
this belief is all i have
my misplaced trust and faith
sanctioned insanity
following the path of ghosts
following ideals irrevocably
it leads me nowhere
toxic rivers serve as borderlines
we rush across to italy
no time to stop and ask myself
we’ll enter as heretics
wearing wool, blood-stained and pure
together we’ll cross the rubicon
together we’ll cross the rubicon
searching for our truths
together we’ll cross the rubicon
disavow all truths
together

On some faraway beach

in my room alone with my fears taking me
thoughts of losing you wash right over me
smelling your skin i’d smile (losing you, losing you)
touching your hand made it all ok for another day.
i walk into the sparkling water on some faraway beach
i dream of holding your hands again, i rush underwater to be forgotten
and fear brought me closer to you (closer)
and fear brought us closer (closer)
and losing you. and drifting out to sea
and losing you, i’m lost

the Apostate

i fear to speak because i’m guilty; and out to save myself
i try to hide, but i hear you stalking outside, peering in on me
through this painful breach, overrun by intimacy and vulnerability
your affection, insinuations, ah-oh-oh-oh-oh....
or am i free? am i free? my truth is much worse than you see
floating free, i fail to live up to your dream
there was a time when I was a man who held out for purity
with one hand towards faith, and a heart with grace, and a hope for the good in everyone
too often i sinned, too often i failed, too often i frustrated your purpose
overflowed with shame at my flaws untamed -- i saw the best in you, you saw the worst of me
floating free, i fail to live up to your dream
sensuality & brutality
morality & duality

"Fifth Sun" spirals and shines musically over the course of it's length, a rich musical space that serves well as an introduction to Lycia's work for new listeners, and as a celebration of the talents and artistry of the band for those who are already in the know. Highly recommended...

Melissa Harris’s shadowy synthpop is carefully crafted and delightfully catchy, gems that reflect darkness and light in equal measure.

Lush, dreamy dark pop from Chicago that most certainly evokes the city's grey, humid summer haze.
