Avail, Nocturne
04:51

You scratch at delicate onion skins on your eyes
Keeps the tears from falling outside
There's a box; it's worn away, and pressed in parts
You keep it closed
For all the things you're afraid to feel
The great theatre in my mind won't settle
I pick apart my brain for yours
I extrapolate your personality,
Oh, I'm restless,
I can't stop fanning the flames
I deserve more than I have been served
Tell me why I want to draw blood
In the shapes of stars
Avail, nocturne...

Sky Saw
04:42
|
|||
|
In the gentle morning of late summer sun,
teeth piercing nectarine, waters down our tongues
Inflamed, the air so thick, we could not leave the days ahead
Hazes marked indelible on words we said
As long as the frightened static walks alone
I'll dream until the end, there the sky never fails
Autumn came and cast a yellow light upon our heads
Fever grew in dusty rhythms, wakened from our bones
A burning heart is all I've got to carry me through
Sun-tipped high is gone, we've slept too long in clothes
As long as the frightened static walks alone
I'll dream until the end, there the sky never fails
I'll keep in this place of unrest
You know that I feel it deeper than I mean to
Sky keeps clearer; un-conceding
As long as underneath eyelids, we'll keep dreaming

Sanguine
04:11
|

|
Keep two little eyes
Focused on the dark inside
And if you fall too far
You'll know that you have raised the bar
Sanguine at the heart
You keep it sheltered;
You keep apart.
Someone with a key
Will open you beautifully
Globe-drops of the moon
Had struck me down, 'til I, confused
Was creeping through corridors
Time leaked through
A bloom will sift into your sight
in the gloaming before night
And I'll lay as still as death
taking it all, all in one breath
And the dark, is a ghost,
is my friend,
It wrapped me close,
and I am not afraid of it.
Close,
and I am not afraid of it...

Grey Dreams
05:36
|
|||
|
A palpable precipice, the mouthfeel of words
entertain a taste for a roseful of swords
Grey dream, oh I implore-
Come loose, lax rigid clasp long-moored.
See through the given slight
The eel in the talc won't un-wet his life
Take it from me,
it's not as we see
What's under the sky
is what enters your eye.
Sleeping pine, sea by my side
Fallen away, discord drips as the tide
Soft white,
In grey dreams..
release; enfold; we
Once I woke to snow on the sill
I went outside to keep it company.
Let the gin run through my veins,
ebbing cold into the pain.
I had entered a beauty sublime.
The leaves and trees and me,
frozen in time.
For this, I had prayed,
being home feeling estranged

Into Colors
04:04
|
|||
|
I let it all, find it's way to me
but the days all blur together, I found,
I could not separate them out
Into colors,
it's how I think these days
I'm lost without a reason,
a scent has driven me to the sea
I spent a winter
shy amongst the clouds
When your voice dripped down into my ears
Swayed the nerves frayed from a fear
taught me to, swallow deeper breath
But it's harder than I know it should be
The white hot flames leap up so cleanly
Pace the seats, we turn with the leaves
they won't lead us down
See the ways we
watch the colors change in our heads
Clouds sleep upon bones that we open at night
Senses keened, had we forgot to feel alive
