Sunglasses 02:30
lyrics

If you’ll be my sunglasses I will see the way back home If you’re tired then use my legs If you let me use your lungs I am warm and full of fight but I don’t know how to live You are cold and tired and light But you’re always pointed north None of this is making sense All this nothings getting dense If I couldn’t feel your fear I would start to lose my grip We make holes throughout the night Shattering its fitful sleep When we finally find our bed We will sleep for days and days

Memory 03:23
lyrics

Memory in all its shades, words released into the dark, worlds created thick and foggy, faded by the windy years. here again my chest is twisted here again the fevered trance things lain dormant rise unbidden creatures stirring in the haze Now shes back behind my eyelids all the contours of her form fingertips can trace the outlines pressure lingers on my lips all these days are long and fallen hollow visions wander by even things that scream their brightness lose their focus next to her there she treads upon the future vital as the dying light

The Wayward Home 03:00
lyrics

We discussed what we would be buffeted in stormy seas you had wind behind your sail I was sinking doomed to fail creatures in the murk swam by light reflecting in their eyes I was thinking of your smile haven't seen it in a while Jelly fish brushed by my fall didn't mind the sting at all I was breathing through my gills lips were swollen from you still then the silence broke in two anchor crashing through the gloom I held onto it so tight like your hand against the night you pulled me on to your ship oars were broken sails were ripped lost at sea and set adrift we were laughing while we kissed

The Where and the Why 04:11
lyrics
buy track
There was a boy who didn’t know his name The people watched him as they went and came The years went by and he did not look up The rains came down and rattled in his cup His hair grew long, took root in the black earth His face was worn, with lips that shows no mirth His trunk crept up towards the yawning sky The burning sun reflected in his eyes He made no move but sat as still as still The wind was bleak, its voice was cold and shrill When spring burst forth, his branches filled with buds his blossoms red, the color of his blood the stars tumble across the sky ee ay not too concerned with the where or the why the stars tumble across the sky ee ay not too concerned with the where or the why the boy sat shedding particles of skin the earth was restless and continued to spin he did not feel the time that struggled to get in his head was full of a cacophonous din

Inch by Bloody Inch 06:04
lyrics

Tonight is darker than my eyes road is grainy underfoot rain smells like it brought the sky dizzy from my own unknowing Wind is wild and full of seeming I’m a child alive and dreaming memories that I can’t place strangers smiling with my face no one there to keep the pace none to say the way it tastes Ive been pushing walls of air Finding only whispers there Wind is wild and full of seeming I’m a child alive and dreaming memories that I can’t place strangers smiling with my face tonight Ive walked a long long ways ive been tracking you for days you are light and leave no trace soft as silk and pale as lace Wind is wild and full of seeming I’m a child alive and dreaming memories that I can’t place strangers smiling with my face There upon the hill you sit Figure by the moon is lit I can barely move my feet Heart is laboring to beat You are slender as a flame I’ve only got myself to blame Inch by bloody inch I crawl You don’t move your mouth at all Rest my cheek upon the ground And your gone without a sound Wind is wild and full of seeming I’m a child alive and dreaming memories that I can’t place strangers smiling with my face
