End of the Year
04:03
|
|||
bodies wail and i've watched them
pull on forces to bring them down
don't lose yourself
follow waves as they wash down
borrowed forces with the moon
forces that you have known
don't lose yourself
forces that you have known
refuse them
bodies wait and i watch them
foreign forces against the moon
forces that you have known
don't lose yourself
forces that you have known
refuse them

(Let it) Bleed
02:57
|

shiver stone bardot traveller
fatal and free love
won't let you escape hurt
singers slowed down and sinister
heavy with pearls
possessed almost heathen
it breaks on your lips
who bruises now?
who lets you bleed?
break from your wrists
let it bleed from your insides
stone bardot traveller
patient and bleeding press hard with your fingers
silver sewn through the winters
and most of our lives
resist our most evil
who bruises now?
who lets you bleed?
break from your wrists
let it bleed from your insides

Great Care
03:15

she came home through the cracks in his wall
bright bodies trying for peace
a night spent out under dry leaves
were you ever so sincere?
the morning
dawned as she combed through your hair
a mention you were close to her
and moments you traded for sleep
softly

夏 夫 (Summer Husbands)
03:14
|
|||
soft bruising touches
rushed through blood and worn all summer
tell me rest under your care
and carve out all my lovers names like soldiers
etched into a wall
right next to all your lovers names remembered
climb over these walls
your lust won wars
your heart beats like a husband
salt washed through cuts
forced from your hands
so we'll remember how to heal each other
when we look on all my wives and lovers
next to all your lovers cast as husbands
all our miscarries and children
climb over these walls
your lust won wars
your heart beats like a husband

Vast Uncertain
05:19
|
|||
calms the dust that blacks horizons
the vast uncertain
we are ready now
there is nothing left to leave with
but the air in my heart
the smoke in my lungs
so how's the world on winter nights
while you sleep
afraid to go outside
how's the world with you tonight?
we already know
we are ready now
haunts a voice that spans horizons
we already know

Yellow Pony
03:41
|
|||
pressing your hands as pillows
soft fists bruised on skin
recast in books as poems
hard against your chest
cradled on equus riding
off to restore themselves
dressing your hair in simple
braids woven through rings
promised to love and be loved
saved on earth and clean
cradled on equus rising
off to restore themselves

Storms
05:01
|
|||
storms sided with the oceans release
cold answers called over seas
all you've swallowed up inside of them
won't keep you warm
won't wake you they drag you deep
storms sided with the mountain repeat
cold answers drawn underneath
all that's swallowed up inside of them
won't keep you warm
won't wake you they draw you deep

star sign
creep through the canyon
gold leaf carnations
anita sleeping up in her room
haunting
zich overgeven
don't come through anger
black magic whispers
told to the wind
street fascination
tend to their sweethearts
open their wounds
smoke smells the same out of your mouth
star sign
sleep through the storm
and all of creation
anita sleeping up in her room
smoke smells the same out of your mouth

I Catch the Warmth
06:24
|
|||
i swear this place i do not know
these new surroundings
how? what? where? i got in here
i thought i heard your voice repeat
i'll leave a key, i'll leave a key
why and where are you hiding?
are you hiding in these new surroundings
i catch the warmth under my coat
like fires i have coaxed inside
this silent corner of some building
wide fixed stare these new surroundings
winter gloves heavy in the morning
side with me
i straighten up i am alone
gathering sticks and sparking stones
i catch my breath against the stove
frosted clouds escaping
one, two three i was singing
i thought your voice would come and find me
inside this building i was haunting
one, two, three i was singing
songs i thought you would know
if i sleep now
will i wake up with you beside me?
will i wake up to find
you've crept inside my coat?
your small arms
wrapped in circles all around me
your pink neck
standing steel against the morning
your pink cheeks, your slow breath
hardly moving
will i wake up the silent tenant of some building?
with my winter gloves damp in the morning
carry me if you can hear me
i check your mirror
pull my hair back into shape
my eyes a mess i feel ashamed
and maybe someone else
is sleeping through this morning
and maybe other fires
burn throughout this building
and i should put mine out to ash
while i'm still standing
