Notos - The Oh Hellos

There’s an eerie quiet

On the southern levees

With a halcyon sky and

Atmosphere gone heavy (Because)

There’s a wind arising with the ire of Venus

Tugging at the surface of the seas between us

And its catalyzing with a breath of calefaction

A thunderous disturbance, and for every action, a reaction

And the rush will take you away

Like you’re caught in the undertow

And you will drown in the wake

Of the things you lost to the winds of Notos

But the water’s rising (quicker than light and sound)

From the seas within me (coming up from the ground)

And I try to fight it (cumulonimbus clouds)

But I drain completely (cover the sun and drown in out)

Every inhale I take, swallows the ocean whole, and I am one

With the hurricane, tall as the tide that laps with a rabid tongue

With every exhale, I break you down with a fury, I lay the hills Undone

Like a dog gone untamed, bellowing out a river from my lungs

And the rush will take you away

Like you’re caught in the undertow

And you will drown in the wake

Of the things you said that you can’t take back, no

And every word you shouldn’t say

Will come bubbling out of your throat

But you’ve got no one left to blame

For the things you lost to the winds of Notos

You gotta let go
