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 03:13
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
8.
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
9.
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
10.
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
