All The Way Down
02:37
|
|||
|
Tired empty eyes
They follow shooting stars
In the night
All the way down
Stifled words in lungs
The muted burn too bright
For song
All the way down
Flying high in dreams
The waking brings them lies
To feed on
All the way down
Beating hearts aligned
Until a different fate assigned
All the way down
Carrying crosses self made
And in the echoes of life
They fade
All the way down
I'll remember us all
And how dignified the fall
All the way down

Whispering Fields
02:29
|
|||
|
See her walking
Under black moon
Naked footsteps
Silent assured
In Whispering Fields
She asks to be healed
Time has taken
All that she was
Now a specter
That living forgot
In Whispering Fields
She asks to be healed
In Whispering Fields
She asks to be healed
Healed
In Whispering Fields

Saturn Wheel
02:55
|
|||
|
Got me suklyng Pi
Shackled to this
Saturn wheel
Tripped into her sky
Better keep my
Moon eye peeled
Ooo
Venus found my nerve
Spinning twice
Only once real
In her lips a worm
To the dark flow
I must yield
Ooo
Molten
Beholden I
Orbit back I
Orbit back
I...
Loosen up the tie
Letting space have
Time to heal
All that she implies
Is a message
I now seal
Ooo
Molten
Beholden I
Orbit back I
Orbit back
I...
Ooo

Swan and Crow
02:55
|
|||
|
A swan and crow
Flew overhead
They circled slow
By spirits led
One meant to pierce
The other sing
Ain't no thing
In the seam
A swan and crow
Now hold my hands
A stop and flow
On step less sands
I love them both
For being true
Beautiful, cruel
In the seam

It Is
01:29
|
|||
|
Don't you know it's true
I belong to you
Don't you know it's just
How it is
Don't you know it's sown
I won't let it go
Don't you know it's just
The way it is

Kaleidoscope
04:27
|

|
Recklessly
She opens up the door
Stepping in
Morpheus awakened
Falling up
A starry trail o' crumbs
Leading back
To when the world was shaken
Ahh
Ahh
Another you
Another me
The same eventually
The light refracts
Slows into blood
The deserts and the flood
Another place
Right here and now
All side by side outside
This wheel
Unconsciously
The sound beneath the noise mouthing please
Stop em from forgetting
Fragments whole
The dancing of the soul
On pyres purged
Nothing left...
or is there?
Ahh
Ahh
Another you
Another me
The same eventually
The light refracts
Slows into blood
The deserts and the flood
Another place
Right here and now
All side by side outside
This wheel
Fragments whole
The dancing of my soul
On pyres purged
Nothing left...
Or is there?

Pebble Tears
01:27
|

|
Ripple out, away
Sea bound
On rivers of clay
The clouds in her eyes
Will storm his heart again
Memory's bliss
Singes and scars with a kiss
Blue glimmering green
So deep in his mind
Again
On every shore his
Pebble Tears
Stream and fall
Even after all these years
There's still much more
Ripple out, away
Sea bound
On rivers of clay
The clouds in her eyes
Will storm his heart
Again
The clouds in her eyes
Will storm his heart
Again

Petal's Wish
02:26
|
|||
|
Eight minutes
Give or take
To the rays that ache
Sepal tries to hold
All alone
Against the will of Crumbling time
He opens up his eyes to
This
Petal's wish
Eight circles into the breach
Making one of each
Sepal tries to hold
All alone
In spite of all
That lives to lie
He open up his eyes
To this
Petal's wish

Jack of Wands
04:00
|
|||
|
From stick to leaves
For darkness weaves
The fire breathes
From ash to wings
The drive to fly
Beyond the weeds
The page has been turned
From the Styx to the Nile
Salamanders will row
Jack no longer exiled
He's going back home
For the very first time
The knave of wands is freed
Becalmed to flank speed
The tempest leads
Surviving all he bleeds
The stars let go
A rising sun
Over lands of green
The page has been turned
From the Styx to the Nile
Salamanders will row
Jack no longer exiled
He's going back home
For the very first time
The knave of wands is freed

Welcome
02:57
|
|||
|
Rope over the wall
And in a single pull
Free fall
The air it lifts and sings
I spread my arms
Like wings
Welcome back old friend
A haunting in these trees
All that wakes at night
To answer pleas
The mirror cracked
Yet still
All the missing glass
Is filled
With all the hopeful see
Oh Welcome back old friend
Welcome back
Old friend

Where Angels Crawl
03:20
|
|||
|
This shadow's false
I know
No light has come
This hallowed fall
So long
Sun almost gone
All we sing
Rustling in the storm
All we do is
Live where angels crawl
Another year
Away
From purely born
The weight of hope
Undone
Crushing the bone
All we sing
Rustling in the storm
All we do is
Live where angels crawl
Live where angels crawl

Let It Gnaw
03:13
|
|||
|
Hello End
Hello Beginning
And Forgetting
All Misgivings
There's No Fear
Without Breathing
I Give In
To This Seething
This Is It
All This Teething
I Let It Gnaw
Flesh Needs Cleaning
All The Heavens
Have Been Taken
Only Hells
To Un-Hell
Stand On This Edge
And Feel The Lean
Step In The Fire
And Blend Right In
Open It Wide
And Crawl Within
Let It Gnaw
Let It Gnaw
