Night Song
02:36
|
|||
|
tired horses run
towards a light not bright anymore
they lay down alone
like stones
with bones impossibly hard to break
and i know that they're cold
but they keep on keeping on

Fall Song
03:18
|
|||
|
dear, can you see?
there's dirt on the street
still, i'm humming as i march among the dead
tall trees over my head
cold feet that don't walk fast
and i go
farther from home
i take off my coat
i breathe through my nose
i hope that some rain is gonna come
to rest on my tongue
and wash what i've done off of me
so i go and i go
farther from home

|
stolid master
stain disaster on everything now
we're not allowed to say it's not true
all the actors, bold and backwards
breaking in two
breaking for you
claims on the heart keep you apart from anything new
shapes in the dark driving you far from everything true
what are you gonna do?

Mountains
05:16
|
|||
|
such soundless waves you tend
proud daughter
we were bound to make amends
and stop the water
but now a flood has swamped the land
where i once saw her
sculpt mountains with her hands
and prey
|

Dust
06:48
|
|||
|
lay me down
on clouds of silver scorched sand
let the pale blue tongues of angels
raze the ground
time lost in making
divine pictures and proof
lead hands upon you, busting you up
the dregs repine
stealing softly beside straight lines
so much time
lost in making
buried alive
drunk and pale
don't you suffer for naught?
don't be unkind
stay the climb

It's Only Light
03:38
|
|||
|
take to the murder
skin, soul and spine
and comb your mind
so dumb and so kind
nail to your shoulders
the dross tales of man
and slow they'll teem
this weightless dream
|

Gloss
03:18
|
|||
|
trail out across the mesa
sheets of rain bend the moon
and i'm no bigger than an atom
floating round and round you
wipe your eyes and count the cattle
those desert minds can't unglue
they know better than to reason
and sleep sound, face to the ground
|

Oblomov
03:31
|
|||
|
lazy bones
dream in words you don't know
drawn clocks erase
and wile all the days away
clench your fists
you think, you know, you miss
crawl the maze
and wile all the days away
|

Stars On Montsou
03:59
|
|||
|
milk-white vice, she reigns
men like mice she's made
she's cloaked the mind with hate
and it's too late to call on God and wait
reap the ends you seek
sing us softly to sleep
mark the ground that's beneath me
and as the angels bleed
broke and dead at your feet
won't you smile tenderly
|
||||

The Rider
02:46
|
|||
|
with your head in your hands you ride out
cause you don't really feel the need
to make peace with a sorry state you know
you know where it's gonna lead
just close your eyes and break free
make a bed on piles of leaves
stop killing the calm, let the night sing songs
before you get up and leave
