Beast In Me 04:56
You’re on the outside you’re looking inside tell me what do you see Is it a mirror or a reflection of who you want me to be? Tell me what you think when you find the beast in me I’m so afraid of what lies beneath but you help me set it free Will you embrace the part of the monster that lives inside of me? Tell me what you think when you find the beast in me Tell me what you think when you find the beast in me You’re on the outside you see right through me you know me oh so well Oh can you feel me hear my heart beating or am I just an empty shell? You’re on the outside you’re looking inside tell me what do you see Is it a mirror or a reflection of who you want me to be? Tell me what you think when you find the beast in me Tell me what you think when you find the beast in me

There’s a pale blue light through the whitecaps breaks It shines a light down on my mistakes It lights up your face as bright as the sun and the hurt that I feel and the damage I’ve done So I drown out the day with my head in my hands It’s been so long since I’ve seen dry land But there’s a pale blue light through the whitecaps breaks It shines a light and my spirit wakes So take me down to the bottom of the sea let the pale blue light illuminate me Oh take me down again and help me see feel the pale blue light shine over me There’s a pale blue light through the whitecaps breaks It shines on us all, make no mistake And that pale blue light Shines like the moon I feel you coming, I’ll see you soon So I walk out to meet you with my arms open wide Feeling the push And the pull of the tide There’s a pale blue light through the whitecaps breaks I’ll hold you close as our bodies shake So take me down to the bottom of the sea feel the pale blue light illuminate me Oh take me down Give me eyes to see let the pale blue light shine over me You raise me up When I’m sinking down You know how it feels when it all comes around There’s a sensation that I just can’t shake I’ll do it again if that’s what it takes And that pale blue light Breaks into the day Warm like the sun, feel our bodies sway Said I’ll love you forever You know that it’s true As deep as we go, I’ll be there with you So take me down to the bottom of the sea let the pale blue light illuminate me Oh take me down again So my eyes can see feel the pale blue light shine over me

Some say the heart is sightless they say that love is blind You must look to meet your likeness just seek and you shall find Why wouldn’t i be there why wouldn’t i keep promises we shared why wouldn’t i be there why wouldn’t i keep promises we shared why wouldn’t i be there So tell me can you hear me Just out beyond your reach Can you hear a word I’m saying I guess the solitude brings peace Built a place up in the mountains Too tired to make a sound That can carry ‘cross your valley So I’m waiting to be found why wouldn’t i be there why wouldn’t i keep promises we shared why wouldn’t i be there why wouldn’t i keep promises we shared why wouldn’t i be there Maybe in another lifetime maybe in another place I know your love will guide me And maybe I can see your face why wouldn’t i be there why wouldn’t i keep promises we shared why wouldn’t i be there why wouldn’t i keep promises we shared why wouldn’t i be there why wouldn’t i why wouldn’t i be there

One more night sitting on top of the world feel the cool air across my face i know this girl See your face in my mind wanna be with you all the time but your silence reflects my pain when will i see you again Lonely days looking for a sign You know I wanna see you, give you all my time Feel the smile cross my face When i think of your warm embrace but I’m back in this empty place when will i see you again Can I hold you wanna be right there by your side can you feel me wanna be with you all the time I’ll always love you unconditionally Hear that train Running on down the track your sweet love always brings me coming back So let’s go dancing in the rain I know that you feel the same but your silence reflects my burning pain when will I see you again Can I hold you wanna be right there by your side can you feel me wanna be with you all the time I’ll always love you unconditionally

The sky opened up and the rain washed my face Out here alone In this desolate place a sliver of moon cracks across the sky if i could see you again i’d find peace when i die Lai dai dai dai… This road is winding and the sky is black The sum of my fears holding me back Know that to lose you is the most tragic fate i know i couldn’t bear it, for you I’ll wait Lai dai dai dai… Lai dai dai dai… Lai dai dai dai… To feel you is easy the way a hand falls on a drum Can I keep the hope alive, wondering if you’ll ever come A sliver of moon lights my way as i fly But i see your face coming through The cracks in the sky

Worlds Apart 05:51
My sweet Stella Maris though we have to part our paths weave together like we beat with one heart Our love crosses oceans I see the look in your eyes Two bodies in eternal motion our love is a beacon that shines across the skies When I hear you calling there’s nothing i won’t do to find you in the darkness I’ll always come back to you You know when I’m near you and you’re always with me when you love someone completely it’s not easy being free Though we may be worlds apart I just want you to know that I love you and I’ll never let you go Though we may be worlds apart I need you to know that I love you and I can never let you go My Reine Chanterelle may we never part our paths weave together like we beat with one heart Come down like silver moonlight bathing my soul our paths weave together it’s easy you know Though we may be worlds apart I just want you to know that I love you and I’ll never let you go Though we may be worlds apart I need you to know that I love you and I can never let you go I love you and I’ll never let you go

about

Raw and emotional, La Sirène's Devotion is the brainchild of multi-instrumentalist, vocalist and composer Eric Klerks, longtime member of Captain Beefheart's Magic Band. Devotion bridges the worlds of blues, rock and psychadelia with classic American songwriting and soaring instrumental solos.

Written and recorded over the course of 2020, the album explores aspects of love, loss and devotion, both human and supernatural.

Eric would like to thank Andy, Chris, Angel and Zoë for their incredible contributions to the album.
