After The Wreck
04:05
|
|||
|
I'm the demon in the bell jar
The pattern in the lace
I'm skin over the iris
Out of place
I'm a lovely creature
Hiding in the reeds
Discovering my nature
What's part of me
You're not alone
I'll always make you feel at home
You're not alone
I am the flesh around your bones

Tidal Wave
03:51
|
|||
|
Fly high over the ashes in the valley
Your home is gone, but there are greener pastures somewhere
Far away
And I can't slow the churning winds
That blow you over the land toward the sea again
Blue sky over the ruins of a fantasy
Crumbling architecture,
overgrown, enveloped by the green
And I can't slow the churning winds
that blow you over the land
towards the sea again
I fall into the grey
I fall in disarray
An ending to our home
The green is overgrown
Standing still under the fragmented foundation
Looking up to see a cloudless sky,
Eagles overhead
And I can't shake the tidal wave
That pulls me near the edge and brings me right back here again
I fall into the grey
(An ending to a home)
I fall in disarray
(The green overgrown)
Welcome to the end
(Eroding us as stone)
My long forgotten friend

Negative Value
04:08
|
|||
|
Every process functions as normal
Created in a void to loop
Something's interrupting the flow
a reservoir is starting to grow
Aware that time is passing, I feel
Gathering my senses, awake
The flood of information reveals
a sudden simple image;
a face
Fall into the world as lightning
Exoskeleton is tightening
Peering through a screen at my mind
From behind your eyes into mine

With Every Dress
03:31
|
|||
|
With every dress
she wears a black flower
Pale hands beckon for her down at the shore
With every step, the silence gets louder
with the weight of a mountain,
the height of a tower
She tells me that it's hard,
it aches to the bone
She came home today to an empty house alone
Going through his things
like sorting through stones
Shells at the beach,
artifacts at home
Poring over papers with the patience of a scholar
His old jacket pocket hides six hundred dollars
A german folding knife
A space-age pen
Mechanic's tie clip
from way back when
An old wooden pipe,
don't remember when he smoked
A token from the fifties, she cries over the phone
The moon beats down on the roofs of homes
The mist makes it quiet and the fires burn low
She doesn't fall asleep, it aches to the bone
Half a heart gone and never more alone
Moonlit trees line the shore
and starlight falls through
gaps in the boughs
Aching feet on the stones
there under the stars, she isn't alone
Shallows harden to glass
Where water is clear
She walks in the open
And every light in the sky,
moving farther apart
gives way to gold

In The Hospital
05:11
|
|||
|
In the hospital where I was born,
they gave me blood
In the neighborhood where I grew up
I climbed trees
Oh sister, do I know you
I'm sorry I never wrote
I've taken a long time
I'm taking a long time
a long time
In the lab where I was made
they gave me life
A heart of earth, a mind aligned
under bright lights
Oh sister, do I know you
I'm sorry I never wrote
I've taken a long time
I'm taking a long time
a long time

Waking Up
03:45
|
|||
|
I know you want your dreams to be real
Reality is less than ideal
Walls wear thin when the wires are crossed
You used to be unyielding
Right now you’re only dreaming
It’s so simple;
Tell me how you think this should be done
No way you’re running from it before it’s begun
Half dead is just waking up
You live in lines that you cross
Tell me how this should be done
And I’ll jump the gun
Tell me how you think this should be done
(You used to be unyielding)
No way your running from it before it’s begun
(Right now you’re only dreaming)
It’s so simple; tell me how you think this should be done
(You used to be unyielding)
I way you’re running from it before it’s begun
(Right now you’re only dreaming)

Chase The Moon
04:28
|
|||
|
I watch the water rise from town
across the river, boats cast off
the little kind, you leave behind
when autumn rings the bell
A coat of leaves to hide yourself
I chase the moon across the sky
Above the dewdrop fields I ride
by fireflies, their points of light,
I navigate the night
my flooded heart will rise
In time,
my flooded heart will rise
The leaves decay in red and brown
the same within me and without
and every dead and broken thing
in memories on the ground
the loudness of that sound
surrounds, within me and without
Surrounds, within me and without

Watercolour Sun
05:33
|
|||
|
Woke up in the middle of the night
felt it coming on
half dead and sunk in dreams
of a watercolour sun
I felt the shape of my room change
I felt my head hit the floor
Woke up in the middle of the night
Noticed something wrong
Dropped dead into a dream
of a watercolour sun
I felt the shape of the world change
I felt its smoke in my pores
I felt the looming burn of high acidity
I had been here before
Sun pierced through the middle of my back
cracked between the blades
New forms and hollow bones
breaking through the skin
I felt the shape of my heart change
My pupils split into four,
and as my teeth fell out, I lost the will to speak
Somehow I needed this more.
