I Said Goodbye
05:45
|
|||
|
tongues seethe
but i stand
and turn the echo like a fan
then blast off
into the light that's falling
fast as she can
out past the mainland
and i'm shaken by the hand!
we've cruel, cruel ways
and i know they're making years of days

Ghosts
03:50
|
|||
|
i'd like to close my eyes
and start perceiving
comes alive when you don't
lay down
and the walls around you start receding
soft sounds move slow
outside
there's a world that just won't stop believing
in what you try not to know
small town
for the boys who never stop achieving
runs aground if they don't
when my mind slips away
i hear you calling to ask me
what i'm not ready to say
i don't want to complain

How To Begin
03:26
|
|||
|
draw the blinds
and cover me
i'm not alone
if i can't see
i just sink like a stone
to a place i don't know
right where you are
is where i'll be
just wave your arms
and i'll set you free

For The Lull
02:23
|
|||
|
glide
like an anchor
splits a silent sea
when you crawl to me
and we fly
goodbye!
dumb, placid sleep
and a crow's song
for the lull
billows passing over
splash the blood-red moon

Lake Song
03:36
|
|||
|
changes you weather
traces you never wanted to see
don't leave
and debase everything
you argue never
though you're clever
the things that you think will all sink
to the bottom of the lake
back home
to sleep in the mire below
like flies in a fire
there is a reason
for all you are seeing
you'll never know
but it shows in the autumn
by the lake back home
when the bones in the earth turn cold
and all of the trees let go
i'm surrounded
by things that don't mind if it all goes away
so i play
to remind them

Starry My Eye
04:44
|
|||
|
always been ambling
on legs trembling
heart beating blind
it's a long way down
for the bird who don't know how to fly
sparks through my spine
and we burn
a pretty picture!
starry my eye
and i hardly know you
wind a way past on and on
to blind love

Paper Flames
02:20
|
|||
|
you liars
carving spires
out on the pavement
better drag me away
cause i can't let you go
dig through my home
we've nothing left to own
|

Shorelines
05:17
|
|||
|
shade me
i am out walking
tied to the shore
counting the hours
falling in pieces
like rain
sparks in the dark
gonna burn out and leave me
don't leave me alone
if there's a reason
for me to be here
i can believe
