Nada 06:11
NADA There’s a flood On the rise The melting ice Above your eyes Filled the valleys With its rain Until the Sun Falls again Falls again There’s a dream About to die And all your freedom It was a lie And all your steel That turns to rust And all your concrete It turns to dust And all your flags Will turn to ash And all your hunger Will end at last There’s a flood It’s on the rise Until the Rain Falls again Falls again

BLADES OF KINGS She turned my outside in Without within The span of days She turned the rain to sun The pain to love As you’d hammer steel to blades of kings We held on for dear life I was scared all night You told me ‘just hang on’ Until our voices feel the light And sets us down in meadows green And valleys clear Our dust is made of dreams And woven seams And dangling threads on coats of stars And it’s only too long As we reach the golden dawn Like stars that fall in the abundant space of dreams She turned my outside in Without within The span of days She turned the rain to sun My pain to love As you’d hammer steel to blades of kings...

Sleigh Birds 04:50
SLEIGH BIRDS My sleigh is pulled By hummingbirds The sound is something You’ve never heard A million wings Like the wind of hurricanes I was raised by wolves in the deepest woods And we sang beneath The Hunter’s Moon The smell of blood Still lifts my cares away... I sleep beneath A mile of ice In a seahorse nest Made of railroad ties And Christmas lights That never burn away So I share my dreams With seven parts of me Divided up so equally Into seven sins That feel like home to me And it’s there I nest In your eagles crest Overlooking canyons Filled with treasure chests Each one filled with all the love that you and I threw away...

Glass Roses 07:01
GLASS ROSES Standing with the sign Like a soldier at his post A stare that seems to go for miles Glass roses on the floor So I checked out for the night Shaking chest un-blessed and tight A voice that’s always wanting more Glass roses on the floor I Should’ve run, I should’ve been so scared I couldn’t run so I had to fly Flashing lights outside the window Glass roses on the floor My glass roses on the floor This time the casket’s empty This time the cut is pure This time I’ll never leave you Glass roses on the floor Glass roses on the floor

STILL FALLING Stay up all night, I’ll stay beside you Feathers are falling inside you Underneath your heart, underneath your senses It all falls apart without defenses Inside myself, still falling Old dreams are ghosts still calling Conjure up this wish, still breathing Conjure up this touch, still reaching Still reaching Inside myself, still falling Old dreams are ghosts still calling Old dreams are ghosts inside Stay up all night, I’ll stay beside you I’ll stay beside you I’ll stay beside you...

Soft Doom 06:37
SOFT DOOM Out of scene and back again Write a part that never ends Can’t we all just fade to black this time Out of scene and back again Write a part that never ends Can’t we all just fade to black This time Your eyes are like a movie screen Your lips are like a magazine The curtains part before the credits roll To the end, and back again The light fades as it begins The heroine that never wins This time The clouds passing by the moon They rose too quick and fell too soon I never knew you anyway, I know One more fix and then I’ll go One more fix and then I’ll go I never had you anyway, I know Out of scene and back again Out of scene and back again Can’t we all just fade to black this time Out of scene and back again write a part that never ends Can we all just fade to black this time... This time

FALL DOWN TO THE SEA Everything around you breaks Everything around you takes Pieces of nothing they can steal from you And when they’ve gotten what they need They’ll find new flesh to feed The emptiness inside the seed That grows into you They all will let you down They all will let you down Everything in life unfolds Everything inside unveils Itself into the emptiness That connects them to you And when they show to be untrue That they’re just as lost as you A parasite in flight A fallen saviour in burning land They all will let you down They all will let you down You’re sad because you know There’s nowhere left to go It’s the truest form to be revealed in the dark Their failure will reflect on you Their failure will reflect on you They’ll break you just for trying to save yourself Fall down to the sea, fall down to the sea Everything around you breaks Everything around you takes Pieces of nothing they can steal from you Everything in life unfolds Everything that’s hid unveils Itself into the emptiness that connects it to you They all will let you down They all will let you down... Fall down to the sea, fall down to the sea

I DREAMED I COULDN’T SLEEP I’ll leave before the season is at an end And never see the leaves fall here again I don’t need a reason to defend I’ll leave before the season is at an end Flowers in the attic, a kitten’s purr Scratching at the door to let it in Whiskers in a locket, spools of fur He pisses and he misses at the end At the end... I dreamed I couldn’t sleep again last night So tired as I woke again in the light Let go as long as you held on Hold on as long as you let go Hold on as long as you let go Let go as long as you held on Let go as long as you held on Hold on as long as you let go Hold on as long as you let go Let go as long as you held on.
