“Softer now,” the song cries out
Night birds call, cicadas sing
Blood moon shines
Fragile light
Part my lips, taste my mouth
Emotions swell but won’t come out
Blood moon tries
To make it right
I am never a blue calm sea
I am always just a storm
I can’t find my happiness
I can’t find me
Weightless and glowing
I still set my heart on fire
Cutting the burden
Feeling like floating
I still set my heart on fire
Blue light strangled
Heart strings tangled
I still set my heart on fire
And how it feels to burn
Is what it takes to grow
Burning for my happiness
Burning for me

The wind changed directions
Candles dance wildly
Pillars of light
Casting endless reflections
Holy smoke drifting
Banish the darkness
Gather the wind
From the maelstrom inside you
I hear the song of mother moon
I feel her hands inside my heart pulling the strings
Feel the glow grow inside you
We’re all the children of the moon
I felt you like thunder
Your hurricane kiss kept me gasping
The storms in your eyes
Drowning my senses
Gather the wind
Because I can’t feel the floor
The wind changed again
The vision is ending
Soft apparitions
The dream starts to fade
We’re all the children of the moon

I see the shadow writhing deep
Beneath an angry sea
Endlessly hungry
Endlessly thirsting
Endlessly hunting
Endlessly searching
For the chance to sink it’s fangs in
To bury all its pain
But the funeral march was ruined
Standing in the rain
We carry caskets on our backs
Photocopied coffins
Paper boats and drifting lanterns
Tears goodbye are washed away
Standing in the rain
I’m gonna bloom if I want to
I’m gonna light the funeral pyre
I’ll try to hold my fire in my hands
And use the glow to light my way
The shadow bares it’s teeth
It hisses at the flame
Lost in its agony
Lost in its suffering
Desperate to sink it’s fangs in
To bury all its pain
But I’m not a funeral flower
I’m gonna bloom if I want to
We carry caskets on our backs
Tears goodbye are washed away
Standing in the rain

Heat Death
02:51
|

Hidden daggers sink in deeper
Autumn shivers freezing her rivers
Rain turns the sand where we lay into mud
Our footsteps in sequence
Fading away
We walk away
Never saying anything
Never saying what we feel
Gravity pulling
Pulling away
Stars carry on their own
Leaving me all alone
Where are the streetlights?
Where is the floor?
I smile at the empty sky
I catch on fire
I’ll be fine
Someday I’ll wake up and open my eyes
And the world will know real love

A drop of blood in a river
Swept away in an instant
A streak of light in the summer sky
One that we miss if we close our eyes
Spectral light trails
Crowd the horizon
Millions of lives in an endless stream
We coalesce in our vernal dreams
Let the wind lift you into the dance
Shaking reborn in the hue of the looming moon
Blood red and swollen
Time starts to slow and the memories reversing
The heart heaves it’s burden
But it was no gospel
No gospel
Swaying to the song carried in the wind
Moonlight dances on our skin
Your breath the hymn that parts my lips
And blooms an endless wish
This sabbath we planted
Love is the answer
And there is no gospel
No gospel
Clawing at the gates of dawn
Slouching towards the midnight sun
I’ll hold you, if you hold me
Dancing in the blood moon beams
Wind song creeps in shivering
Sea spray kissing at our feet
I’ll hold you, if you hold me
Dancing in our summer dreams
The music fades, the dream must end
Autumn carved into our hands
But I’ll hold you, if you hold me
Sleeping stardust memory
The only holy book
Is the one inside your heart
And on every page
Your love has made a work of art
Clawing at the gates of dawn
Slouching towards the midnight sun
I’ll hold you, if you hold me
Wind song creeps in shivering
Sea spray kissing at our feet
I’ll hold you, if you hold me
The music fades, the dream must end
Autumn carved into our hands
But I’ll hold you, if you hold me

Transfiguration
04:41
|

|
Blue burned the orange black
Push it down, hollowed out
I felt like a heart attack
Severing everything again
Sky above obsidian
Flowers where I lay my head to rest
Withering in spite of me
Safe beneath the olive tree
I feel it burning
Everything we bloomed now burns
The hands keep turning
The world spins madly on and on and on
I want to slow it down
Turn around but it’s all blurring
I’m lost inside the sound
Of a universe slowly burning out
Now the flowers are gone
The ashes fall like snow
The soil choked on my blood
Now the garden won’t grow

Divination

Watch the hands
Casting shadows
The emptiness is a womb, not a grave
You only spill what you contain
The fire we hold inside ourselves
Casts a shadow on the past
Some stay forever looking backwards
And the void starts looking back
Spill your pain
Let it all pour out
Spill your pain
Weightless now
Lost in the flood
You only spill what you contain
Only the light within remains
We remain
Here we are
Stuck to this river
Permanent currents
Transient waves
Throw yourselves in the river
Lose yourself in the flood
Taste your closeness to heaven
With a mouthful of blood

Distant Omen
03:55

I’m holding my last breath
Swallowing artifacts
Choking down omens
Spitting the curses that hex my head
Phantom lover
Can you feel my pulse?
Under a Mars red sky
Can you find my pulse?
No understanding
Found in the tragedy
Eases the burden
Reflecting on everything we’ve lost
In the dead of the night
I have lost my pulse
Vacant sky
I can’t find my pulse
As within, so without
Distant effigy
Lighting up the way for me
Mangle the prayer
As it blooms from your mouth
Manifesting energies
Dancing deep inside of me
Tangle the maypole
Pulling the strings
As within, so without

Nazar

Darkness consumes my being
The nazar is broken
The curse starts to swell in me
I feel your love drifting
Like petals from a cherry tree
Softer than snow
Colder than misery
Break in the clouds
The sun kisses my skin
Drying the rain
Renewed in the light
But the eye is upon us now
Storm clouds are closing in
Don’t let me go
I’m so alone
Alone in my suffering
Alone in the hell I build myself
From burning bridges
And burning beds
I’ll dream of your love forever
Captive inside my broken head

The heart is a haunted home
Shadows and basement ghosts
Windows and dead phones
Piled into closets like altars to love
The holes in the ceiling grow
From life’s unrelenting storm
The hurricane sadness
That rips through your body
Leaving you breathless
Numbing the sunshine
Clouding your senses
Creeping in softly
Beneath our defenses
Haunting the houses
we build from the wreckage
The beat of black wings in the distance
Your voice reverses
I hear it in the wind
My arms bend backwards
I feel you turning
I feel you turning
Past lives unfolding
Through palm reader clues
Crawling through mud
Dragging Horoscope blues
Mercury slipping
The phase of the moon
The bed is an altar
Reborn in the vision of you
Happiness
Happiness, Together
I’ll share your ghost
When the golden hour ends
When the heavens stop to spin
When our summer sun sets west
I’ll share your ghost

Wind Song

Shadows grow
Deafening
Have I lost you?
I’m still here
Can you feel me?
Please don’t leave me
Don’t let go
I can still fix me
Whirlwind cloud mouth
Storm fronts shout out
Candles blow out
No light no sound
Meaningless suffering
Storm clouds want to swallow me
Reach out both hands
Hail stones rain dance
Cold lips trembling
Calling your name
Meaningless suffering
Storm clouds want to swallow me
Shedding this suffering
Parting the sky

Turbulent Indigo
The maelstrom in my head
Coalescing echos
a thousand basement ghosts
Storms fall from your eyes
Goddess born of thunder
Steeples of light scattered endless rain
All the miles I tread upon fall away
Seconds fall to hours fall to days
Do I get to start again
Or have I closed the gates to heaven
Now I’m on the edge
I’m hanging by a thread at Bodega Head
That wish I wasn’t here
I feel it creeping in the shadows
Cloak and dagger seasons
Stick the knife in deep
Floating in the night
Above the lunar tide
The sea starts to glow
So I fall inside
All the miles I tread upon fall away
Seconds fall to hours fall to days
Do I get to start again
Or have I closed the gates to heaven
Now I’m on the edge
I’m hanging by a thread at Bodega Head
I’m drowning in my own skin
Clawing for another breath
Another chance
Why can’t I just let go
Of all my old sorrow?
Let me go
Bound inside this fragile flesh
Inside my chest
I want to let me go
I want feel the glow
All the miles I tread upon fall away
Seconds fall to hours fall to days
Do I get to start again
Or have I closed the gates to heaven
Now I’m on the edge
I’m hanging by a thread at Bodega Head
I made a dying wish
That real love might exist
Everywhere
I held a fading dream
And felt it swallow me

This album is overwhelmingly good. I've been making music for long enough and listened to too much music to not be impressed easily. This album is goosebumps from beginning till end. Completely different realm of existence of good.
