So We Begin 03:57
lyrics
buy track
So we begin With a dot, a point One bit of where we’ll end A glint, a glimmer Breath of early dawn To light the ground we walk on Follow the first word One thought brings a thousand Follow, follow A thousand brings everyone Precious, delicate Write it down Before it slips away Out of memory Light, fleeting Keep it close It doesn’t last long Before it’s gone Follow the first word One thought brings a thousand Follow, follow A thousand brings everyone

Why I Smile 04:08
lyrics
buy track
It’s all the hidden things I’ve learned to seek Wherever I look Whenever the time I keep them by my side So when I forget It’s simple to remember It’s quick to find I know why I smile And I’d like to show you for a while Sometimes you’re not so sure Which way is up Where kindness is Or where to be Like you’re lost out there Confused and tired But I promise there’s light I’ll bring it with me I know why I smile And I’d like to show you for a while This would be easier If you could read my mind But I know you’ll pick it up With time I know why I smile And I’d like to show you for a while I know why I smile And I’d like to show you for a while

Perfect Secrecy 04:04
lyrics
buy track
Some things are Kept hidden From the world For a reason But when held tight Never admitted The longing builds And we’ll confide So we seek perfect secrecy To keep our thoughts close by So we seek perfect secrecy To keep these thoughts ours Seduced by quiet To give a little hint Thinking it won’t Go beyond our grip But once it’s out It echoes on And the wind’s Without sympathy And the world will hear what Should’ve stayed Locked up Inside So we seek perfect secrecy To keep our thoughts close by So we seek perfect secrecy To keep these thoughts ours

Clockwork 04:04
lyrics
buy track
We push the moments In front of ourselves To keep the fortune From everybody else We built this flurry to own More than we’ve ever known Unpierceable blur Keeps us so focused now On a vision of worth Too rich to set down Caught up in the hurry we make Only the hustle keeps us awake Unshakeable allure Of glimmering quickness Holds us too tight To notice our distress We rush by our own designs Sprints without finish lines The world moves like clockwork So quick it’ll turn right by We choose to wind it The hands keep on pulling time

Lullaby 04:00
lyrics
buy track
I’ll sing you a lullaby A lullaby goodnight I’ll sing you a lullaby A lullaby goodnight The moon keeps watch So close your sleepy eyes And drift to another world Under soft glow Of the quiet sky Slumber deep and sound Hush, hush Nothing but sweet dreams Hush, hush Nothing but sweet dreams I’ll sing you a lullaby A lullaby goodnight I’ll sing you a lullaby A lullaby goodnight Rest until the birds Sing to you at dawn

Wish You Were Here 03:40
lyrics
buy track
Here we go Here we go again You’re drifting away And I can’t hold you down Where does your mind turn When you look aside Gaze towards the ground I wish you were here With me in this moment But your focus went Somewhere else And while you’re so distant I just wish you were here Pull you back Pull you back to earth If only I knew how But you’re so out of reach Your thoughts are trailing off Betrayed by your half smile Told by your speech You used to be all mine But it seems I’ve lost you now I guess I can’t compete I wish you were here With me in this moment But your focus went Somewhere else And while you’re so distant I just wish you were here Just wish you were here Just wish you were here I just wish you were here

Play Your Game 04:09
lyrics
buy track
Why are you still Way across the floor? You stole too many glances For me to ignore Try to act so hard to get Thinking you can run But all this hide and seek Isn’t fooling anyone I’ll play your game Watch me toss The puzzle into place Before the night’s through I’ll be dancing with you Slipping hints in conversation Tells me it’s a front You gave away the riddle And I know what you want It’s not so tough You’ve pretended enough I’ll play your game Watch me toss The puzzle into place Before the night’s through I’ll be dancing with you

Where I Go 03:56
lyrics
buy track
Follow my thoughts In my mind is everything Without borders or limits Untangle the knots Finding the nerve to sing Alone with my wits The best time I know Is right here within So that’s where I go It’s where I’ve been I’ll put on a show I’ll put on grin This is why I go It’s why I win This is where I’ve found The way through walls No closed doors or gates Designs unbound Net to catch falls Without wars and weights Tensions unwound Escaped from the brawls Beyond scores and debates The best time I know Is right here within So that’s where I go It’s where I’ve been I’ll put on a show I’ll put on grin This is why I go It’s why I win

Tempest 03:20
lyrics
buy track
Sometime you get like this When life’s not on your side But it’s not worth the risk Just to indulge your pride Words can’t be unsaid Once they’re loose Keep control instead There’s no excuse Let the tempest pass Before you say a thing You know what happens next Something you’ll regret And I won’t ever forget So don’t say a thing Just let the tempest pass Perhaps just for a while Try to grit your teeth I know you’re feeling riled But keep it underneath No need to be curt With what you say Even though you’re hurt It’s not the way Let the tempest pass Before you say a thing You know what happens next Something you’ll regret And I won’t ever forget So don’t say a thing Just let the tempest pass

Finite Time 04:19
lyrics
buy track
Days go by But don’t want to be incomplete Hard to try When distractions repeat In the end We all long to be fulfilled Believe everything we built Will stand the test So then Will you’ve seen every color And remember every other Moment blessed? Finite time A gift while you’re near it Worth the climb To be with your spirit Days go by So we work to be complete Know I’ll try To keep with every beat In the end We all long to be fulfilled Believe everything we built Will stand the test So then Will you’ve seen every color And remember every other Moment blessed? In the end When you feel all you’ve ever felt Will you know that you’ve always dealt Your best? So then Will you’ve known all you wanted to And be sure all there’s left to do Is rest?

about

“Inflorescence is the soundtrack to a dream from which you never want to awaken.” — Cinepunx

“The world needs more musical explorers like Pikefruit who break down and reinvent comfy genre tropes. Alex and Nicole proved to be superb artists who trust their instincts and tastes while also wanting to push themselves to try new things.” — Bearded Gentlemen

“It’s dreamy and enticing, but not merely that—it’s got challenging sensibilities. Like a quieter late ’80s Cocteau Twins, or Tracy Thorn singing near-silent, silky soundtracks, singer Nicole is a siren; yet she coos over carbonated currents of bubbling mystery from keyboardist Alex, whose sounds come in odd-patterned, wind-swirled flows...” — The Big Takeover
