Dead In The Water
04:46
|
|||
|
I take a breath
I grip the edge
devils won't find me out here
the blackened sky
the whitecaps fly
and the water is warmer than the air
what can you do?
where are your friends now?
where's your head now?
you feel it under you
the black below falls
they know you're here now
the ocean feeds
the dead beneath
can you feel them float up from the deep?
what can you do?
where are your friends now?
where's your head now?
you feel them under you
the black below calls
and they are here now

The Stone Inside
04:16
|
|||
|
Early morning, saw you walk beneath the trees
and behind you, dragged an elk along the leaves
Haven't seen you; left for higher altitudes
Dusty picture of a life in solitude
I see the heaviness
Stones laid with every breath
Keep the heavy stone inside
covering the hole in you that's open wide
Hide the heavy stone inside
covering that void in you that's still alive
Calling and you
Waste away
Reaching out
through the haze
slow decay
Calling and you
Waste away
Reaching out
through the haze
slow decay
Calling and you
Waste away

Remnants
04:27
|
|||
|
Twisted system in my body
I can feel the fulcrum tilting
Open fissure hit with atoms
I can feel my matter melting
Total breakdown of my instincts
Remnants of my psyche ground me
Feels like it lasts forever
Can't hold the world together
I'm sifting through the ashes
for parts of me that lasted
Sick of wanting, feeling, sinking
Clawing at the sky and falling
Cut off, gasping through the ending
Parts of me are left in static
Feels like it lasts forever
Can't hold the world together
I'm sifting through the ashes
for parts of me that lasted

Watcher
04:33
|
|||
|
I walk up at the theatre, no words, and she just laughs
says "follow me out back."
I take the invitation, she brings me to the gardens,
taking off her shoes
and wading in the water, she just watches me
says "friend you're hiding something everyone should see."
Back home in my bedroom, there's a boy with a knife
and he helps me love myself
Patient like a painter, finding patterns in my skin
and letting spirits fly
What did you find
I saw that look in your eyes
I'm living in the difference
It's getting hard to split it
I step out of my body,
see my feathers coming up through the skin
What did you find
I saw that look in your eyes

Spitting and Thrashing
04:37
|
|||
|
This is new light
Autumn moon night
Catching all your visitors
and raising them like children
Their wings will beat against the jar
lighting the way from where you are
Kill the headlights
Onyx mere of night
They won't survive in there
Seeing that look in your eyes,
holding the pedal to drive
Once you crash, you are front and center
Spit and thrash, as if you think that's better
At the impact
throw your head back
Watch all your visitors light the highway
Bell jar navigator held inside
Watch all your visitors light the highway
Bell jar navigator held inside
This is new light
Autumn moon night
Once you crash you are front and center
Spit and thrash, as if you think that's better
At the impact
throw your head back

It Speaks
04:55
|
|||
|
I wandered into the trees at night
In hopes of seeing them
Seeing them there
I hold my breath
And bite my lip
I'm pulled beyond the seam
In the presence of hidden voices
That yell and laugh and cry
I'm driven here by choices
Without a reason why
There will be no going home
You will never know the truth
Now that branches hold the bones
Now your blood belongs to roots
Nature isn't mute

Earth Is Unmade
03:41
|
|||
|
Carry me on through the green
to graves with stones that tend to lean.
The corals you wear in your crown,
pieces of shells in white and brown.
Carry me through to the end
of the row where I will rest
until the earth is unmade.
Bury me under your feet,
let me dream of claws and teeth.
Descending through lairs of silt and stone;
You lay me down into my bones.

Violent Age
04:39
|
|||
|
Calculate this violent age
the needle measures analog
Built it from our broken cage
Feelings to be catalogued
An echo of a system where
we used to stand but now we stand alone
Today the needle changed its course
and sent a message into the unknown
I need to know, who else is out there?
Beyond this wired heart
Who would stop me now?
Beyond this wired heart
Reckless in this violent age
Tearing through particulate
A feeling's just a feeling 'till
you find yourself engulfed in it
I shake the needle somewhere else
I shake it, calling
who else, who else, who else, who else?
I need to know, who else is out there?
Beyond this wired heart
Beyond this wired heart

It Has a Name
04:46
|
|||
|
I've been sitting on this
how long?
I've been holding it
for too long
Have you found it under me
to dust the years off?
It has a name,
it just won't come when called
I've tried, I know it hears
To coax it out would be a chore
with little merit
You've been picking at it;
pulling at the string that strays
And you've made no difference to it;
just moved it,
and I've given into it
It has a name,
it just won't come when called
I know it hears
You're not the first
and not the last
to try your hand at it
I've been calling it for years now;
it will not listen to you
I've been holding it for too long
Will you call it by the name
that it will not answer to?
And will you dust the years off?

Briar
05:00
|
|||
|
I planted them at night
to keep the monsters out
They started growing thorns
They grew to block the sun out
Briar, hooks and arrows
Grows my likeness
They pull me under slow
from here inside the vines
I eat the sour fruit
that still keeps me alive
Briar stole my image
Hear it from inside
Briar is the skyline
Growing till you choke
Snaking lines of brambles
wrapped around your throat
Briar, closing tighter
grabs you from below
Leave you wrapped in ivy
left to overgrow

Fire At Last
04:06
|
|||
|
Floating ember bath
dissolving, curious
Becoming fire at last
Cinder heart,
dissolving, furious
Only took a spark
igniting, immolate
Lifting looks from glass
Whispers burned
Exploding, insidious
Fire at last
Bleeding, liquid hearts
beating, twisting
Every word
Hungry wraith
Devouring, humility

Succession
09:06
|
|||
|
I lay beside you
Ignited, for the thousandth time
Who will light it
When there's no one left alive
I beg forgiveness for forgetting
With all the years gone by
Alone and lost in time
This skin belongs to me
But I'll lie in flames and soon be free
All you've known, all you've seen
Falls to ash, grows (fades) to green
In the age of rebirth
You'll return, roots and earth
I beg forgiveness for forgetting
I staggered in through the trees
To a place where lilies grow
To a place that I did know
In an age so long ago
I fell to my knees
In a place where lilies grow
Where ashes found their home
I sank through the leaves
in that place where lilies grew
near a thousand years ago
I can't be blamed
There's no remembrance in after days
When the distance is an age
and the years have changed our face
