To extinguish fire without water
To put questions to the dark and understand its answer
To be the gaze that stares at nothing in the mirror
To extinguish fire without water

What Cheer Iowa

Someone went missing in What Cheer, Iowa.
At the same time, a lady burned her cookies in Marrowbone, Tennessee.
Coincidence? I THINK NOT! Coincidence? I THINK NOT!
A young boy fell off his bike in Ninety Six, South Carolina.
Exactly at the same time, a wife broke her husband's phone in Pigeon, Michigan.
Coincidence? I THINK NOT! Coincidence? I THINK NOT!
Before the sky had darkened and before the moon,
I was out walking. I had nothing to do.
I saw a strange star. It was moving very slowly.
I saw a strange star. The sky was exceptionally clear.
I saw a strange star. Then it moved suddenly to the side.
I saw a strange star. Then it disappeared.

People on TV move me
But you I don't care for.
I'm watching all the time
From way up in your sky.
I have somewhere to be,
But I don't want to lose your signal.

Burn it Down

Pour the gas.
Light the fuse.
Strike a match.
It’s up to you to burn it down.
Burn it down.

The Shortest Reach

I have no followers. I have no podium.
I have no rock to throw. I have no microphone.
No one to say things to. Not even facebook friends.
I’m pure invisible, unless they’re listening in.
But I have things to say, like maybe we should think of coming up for air.
Things to say: I think we’re on the brink of drowning down here.
I have no child to teach. I have no cross to bear.
I have no light to shed. I have no savior.
There’s nothing happening. I have nothing to preach.
I have no child to teach. I have the shortest reach.
But I have things to say, like maybe we should look higher than the air.
Things to say: there must be somebody better out there.
I’m sitting quietly.
I’m watching traffic jams.
I’m seeing systems fail.
I’m hearing sirens.
I try to understand.
I can’t make heads or tails.
It’s all so out of hand.
I need some silence.

Blix Byrd is a multi-instrumentalist, singer and songwriter who crafts bizarre new sonic worlds for each song. Her songs are abstract but narrative-driven, dark but playful, sinister but innocent.
