1.	Flicker, Fire, Flame 03:33	lyrics	buy track
It took years to reach dawn after our midnight fire That climax took everything I had A dry, empty, breathing, brooding dance It filled my room with wonder and just as the bridge turned grass I flicker, fire, flame my way beyond time's past I've always wanted to be a flame Flicker, flicker, flicker (Flicker, fire, flame) The universe does not co-sign on blame We are better then we're bitter (Bitter, liar, blame) What's it to you The fire feels all the same I'll love you till i'm limber Once i'm limber you will have been run through my bones No matter how far i roam, i'll find you in my helpless moan (Moan) Helpless moan I can't help my moan (Moan) Help my moan (Moan) Help my moan (Moan) Help my moan (Moan) Help my moan (Moan) Help my moan Grow or die as ashes turn to dust The friction, it can't wait to bust All over your fire Strongest desire Swing me higher (Higher) Higher (Higher) Higher (Higher) Higher Higher (Higher)
2.	Hear My No 03:33	lyrics	buy track
Para me, is the breeze Blowing through trauma stream Go ahead and grieve Underneath the sacred peach tree Hear my no as it flows Hear my no as it flows (No, no, no, no) (No, no, no, no) as it flows (No, no, no, no) (No, no, no, no) hear, hear, hear my no (No, no, no, no) (No, no, no, no) as it flows As it flows (It flows) Hear my no (No, no, no, no) (No, no, no, no) Hear my no (No, no, no, no) (No, no, no, no) Hear my no (No, no, no, no) (No, no, no, no) Hear my no As it flows This no, says so Hear my no As it flows Hear, hear, hear my no As it flows
3.	Deep Hunger, Fed 03:33	lyrics	buy track
Earth's horizon shining My favorite place to hide, your thighs Moonlight shining Aurality is the vibe Opulent sun rising This loving can't be denied Dwindling into a vortex I wonder what comes next Dwindling into a vortex I wonder what comes next Elastic looming clouds fell from the sky Onto our laps but we, gave them back Made out instead Felt our ancestors embed Deep hunger, fed Deep hunger, fed Fed, fed, fed Fed, fed, fed Fed, fed, fed I am fed, fed, fed Fed
4.	Spill 03:33	lyrics	buy track
So much needs to pour out As my heart is littered with doubt I cried and tears came out my mouth I sit in silence so i can figure it out Silence, my dear old friend Rock the boat so it won't cave in So much needs to pour out So i spill for the thrill of it Over and over So i spill Over and over Caught up in cycles of closure So i feel what is real because i'm brighter and bolder Because i'm brighter and bolder Because i'm brighter and bolder I spill I spill Oh, i Spill I spill
5.	Pass Me By 03:33	lyrics	buy track
I'm giving Into a house On the corner Of a lake near here All my love is dear Come closer, have no fear I'm a night ring On my knightly king It's time I win I won't see life without painful bliss I can't live without love Please don't take it from me I've been joking about everything Life's so fast I won't let it pass me by Me by Me by Me by Me by Me by Me by Me by Me by Life's so fast I won't let it pass me by Me by Me by Come closer, have no fear Have no fear We came ready and willing for life We came ready and willing for life

about

Verdant Banks is a narrative piece about abundance blooming brilliance in luminescent presence. Verdant as in young, banks as in money, Kamra doubles up meaning with this rich and quite literally, fruitful release. Each song is 3 minutes and 33 seconds, drawing on the magic of Kamra’s life path number. Grounded by their buoyant, opulent vocals and vine-like yet unforgettable melodies, the record drifts between genres, activating an array of sensibilities.
