Riv
03:06

Can't go back,
The jar is broke
Can't go forward
Till we pick up the fall
Tired, of glass in my toes
Blood she runs
Blood she goes
Watch the river run
Watch the river all
Not sure I ever learnt
To let go
Blood she runs
Blood she goes
Watch the river run
Watch the river all
Not sure I ever learnt
To let go

Coin Toss
05:28
|

Coin Toss, leave my life up to chance
Quiets gone, mind a dizzying dance
Don't know where we'll go
Sure know where we been
And it's been swell
I ask to stay hopeful, humble
I ask that you're well
Memories, pile up in front of me
The past, clouding up my thoughts
Solstice eve, the darkest hour has broke
Heads I stay
Tails, I let it all go
Eve draws, valley of the grey
Are we fools to stay or go?
Fog walks in and tips her hat
Bone-deep cold that keeps me asking why
Comfort never kept me satisfied
Never quite could keep you in my sight
Never quite could keep you in my, sight
Coin Toss, leave my life up to chance
Quiets gone, mind a dizzying dance
Don't know where we'll go
Sure know where we been
And it's been swell
I ask to stay hopeful, humble
I ask that you're well

Sparrow
03:50
|

Sparrow dances by my stove, crows call
Condensation down my walls
A creeping, a creeping
Take what's left, I ain't to the strength to hold
I know you've been taking, I know it isn't yours
Wild winds about my door
And I've been too busy, trying to stay warm
Looming presence leaning in
And I've been sinking, swallowed whole
No graceful letting go
Finger nails, scaled skin
Dreaming of home
Dream
Sparrow dances by my stove, crows call
Condensation down my walls
A creeping, a creeping
Take what's left, I ain't to the strength to hold
I know you've been taking, I know it isn't yours

Soak (to)
04:55
|
|||
I know this won't keep well
So I, let it go now
'Fore it's too late
'Fore I get how
Speak my mind
To hold, my ground
To give more than I take
And love what I've found
The day, she is ending
The words, still in my mouth
Bitten back and swallowed down
Won't make a sound
Speak my mind
To hold, my ground
To give more than I take
And love what I've found

Mend

|

Peppermint smoke
Shadowed and cold
Mosses and oak
When it aches, and will not ease
It's too dark to see
I darn my socks
I boil my tea
Thankful and waiting for dusk
And to meet with the sun
Golden breath
Ba da da da da
Ba da da da da
Writing on the wall
A reason for it all
two eyes, clear and worn
When it aches, and will not ease
Where you are is right where you're meant to be
I darn my socks
I boil my tea
Thankful and waiting for dusk
And to meet with the sun
Golden breath
Ba da da da da
Ba da da da da
It's too dark to see

Light
02:54
|

Fall, loss of time
Sun blinds
Paths uncertain
Weep
Days not over yet
Loss of time
Paths uncertain

Gloom
04:16
|
|||
Glass house of dreams
Of pumpkin seeds, of sodden earth
Of green green green
Church window ceilings and blessed love
A pouring out on street corners, as from above
Gentle words, they told me it's okay
Refrain from those spaces, refrain
Hold on, just a little longer
Hold on, to dark's embrace
Hold on, just a little longer
The clouds will fill and fall and grow again
Morning brings, a bathhouse sings
Kettle steams, cries breathe breathe breathe
Is it yet to come, or passed the eve before
Palms outstretched and trying to stand tall
Make space to watch the leaves fall, make space

Moth
03:21
|
|||
Rib bones, skin stretched thin
Heart's fluttering, under hands held close
I don't ever think I've been so sad
Don't think I've been so low
So I lean on your shoulder
I drag in all my tumbling woes
There ain't no negotiating with the seasons
There ain't no changing the path of the sun
Held your wings in my hand for troubling reasons
and I asked you to stay, I asked it'd be well only once
The walls were only made of glass, and a rock I struck
My feet were only made of sand, and the hourglass stuck
I watched you turn, sweet spine tangle nail tooth to moth
A jar I would've made you a home
But the moon, she did mock
There ain't no negotiating with the seasons
There ain't no changing the path of the sun
Held your wings in my hand for troubling reasons
and I asked you to stay, I asked it'd be well only once
A jar I would've made you a home
The moon, she did mock

Rain
03:24
|
|||
Don't want to put my hopes on you
Try and stand straight
Don't want to lose this light again
Like to stay, watching the rain
Watching the rain
Watching the rain
