lyrics

i held a sign above my head
it wanted me dead
are you just a martyr who burns
nice and slow
or a little one
with a little wand

your head
hot enough to boil cold water
and cook them to life
like a mother
i have found you after all
underneath these golden ponds
of honey
is there any cost
any cost greater than I
can't count the money

a bonding distance

hey you say
young ladder
you like to keep your diamond rough
any foreign carver
is an elephant tusk

hey you say
young ladder
a halo cloaks the meddler in you
and like a cross on fire
you split them in two

i broke their sign above my head
it wanted me dead
what's there at the base
of an all wondering tree
but two layers of bark
a child within me

and he says listen

hey you say
young ladder
you like to keep your diamond rough
any foreign carver
is an elephant tusk

hey you say
young ladder
a halo cloaks the meddler in you
and like a cross on fire
you split them in two

Alassane

“As such a song off his recent ‘Yield’ EP ‘Gabriel’ drips with lush harmonic counterpoint and a vocal prowess that is outside any expectations.

With his vast array of influences, it’s plain to see that Alassane’s firm understanding of music's past informs his command over its future; and you can hear it as effortlessly as he shares it. “
