'House of Stone,' self-released in early 2011, is the introduction to a saga that explores the essence of being in the face of our most primal instinct: survival. Five siblings come together in the wake of their father's untimely death, and are cast out into a post-apocalyptic world, left to come to terms with and ultimately defend what remains of their heritage. This narrative has found its way into Morgan's unique blending of visual installations, musical compositions and experimental vocal performances.
Coyote
Sorne Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
my blue coyote
with your lonesome drunken howl
death spared you from doom
my lovely lonely blue and broken boy
you oh you were true
and were right the night you tried to take your life
with your gun you cried
oh oh oh oh dearest friend
the night has not gone
just yet
blue dawn is blooming as it breaks
as it grows and as it flows across the land
across our lives
and sheds its light
and if it be our lot to die then die we shall
come what may
upon desert plains of vacant loves we say
save me woah woah woah!
save me
