Peppermint Prince

About

I wrote this in my 2019 bedroom, just looking around at all of the art and things that brought me comfort. Once I sang the lyric "peppermint, prints" I knew instantly I'd invented a persona for my music, the Peppermint Prince.

Lyrics

Pitter for patter reducing the rate
Of life's beating tempo to an ambient plane.
There's times when I'll call when I can't afford to wait
For the pouring rain...but it's all the same.

Oceans and tulips and stitches in rows,
Peppermint, prints: I bask in the glow.
Soothing arrangement reflecting back at me
In my hideaway. Can you feel the room?

Take me to a mythical place.
Ephemeral heat the moon and sand
Caressing my face, radiating through my soul;
Balancing sweet and curative modes my way.

Gather your spirit in search of a drink.
Lack of a fanfare might keep us in sync.
I hope you feel welcome to say here for awhile
On the night of dreams – if that's how it seems.

Light as a feather brushing the keys.
Healing aroma propulsing the scene.
The picture is calming as far as I can see
In a warmer hue. It's a lovely view.

Take me to a mythical place.
Ephemeral heat the moon and sand
Caressing my face, radiating through my soul;
Balancing sweet and curative modes my way.
