When You Wake
03:16
|

|
Overnight the sea became, a silhouette in which to fade
The only sound left to escape, was all our loneliness betrayed
We'd fall through wires too slow to breathe
The flesh escaped, escaped relief
I may be gone a while
When you wake
Embraced by shame, too tired to coast
Hold through the fall, as in repose
We'd swim at night, to ease the cold
No more than sheets, no more than...
Always so tired
When you wake
Our only hope to spiral down into control

Love at Last
03:17
|

|
Oh to die, in love at last
Take these hands, unbind my wrists, the tide subsists
As I careen away, to you
Oh to sleep, in love at last
Take this pulse, as eyes dilate, the light can wait
Last waltz, slow fade, fade into love, as all things escape
Last waltz, slow burn, burn into dust, as all things return
Careen away, oh amourette

In the Altogether
04:30
|
|||
|
In the headlights, resplendent black gown
Abandoned ballroom, on the outskirts of town
Last summer breeze, listlessly drifts
Carried away, all weight ceased to exist
Spinning towards, that which never returns
In you I'd become, the ledge to the fall
Skeletal shadows, linger on the wall
Red oak wood floors, creak underfoot
Retracing steps that we've read of in books
No words could prepare us for what lay ahead
You wear it so well
Hung from a wire, to fall at your feet
Suspended in light, heart's deafening beat
Late summer haze, forever sincere
Into the night, where all forms disappear
Over the shoulder, skin taut to the blade
Lower my eyes, to meet the floor
Where your dress bathes, in light spilled from the door
Red oak wood floors, creak underfoot
Retracing steps that we've read of in books
No words could prepare us for what lay ahead
You wear it so well

Dissolve

Into your arms I dissolve

Pieces
03:53
|
|||
|
It seems that we have come to, a ceasefire, a standoff
But if you get a clean shot, you'll take it, just take it
I look for reasons, patterns in pieces, pieces of you
I look for reasons, patterns in pieces
I kept them out of consolation
One of many, one of few
One of any, one of you
I look for reasons, patterns in pieces, pieces of you
I look for reasons, patterns in pieces
I kept them out of consolation
We would always smile for photographs
I kept you in frames, all this time

Two Stones
05:31
|
|||
|
Laid under auburn trees, Isabel, Isabel
Skimming stones through a, another plane, parallel
How I'd hold my breath, till you count, count to five
Now the light turns green, as you say, say goodnight
Learning to touch without contact
Laid under auburn trees, Isabel, Isabel
Down the garden path, by the old, wishing well
How I'd hide away, till you count, count to five
Now the light turns green, as you say, say goodnight
Seasons come to pass, houses still, boarded up
Under floorboards carved, initials, in a heart
In an alternate, coroner's, archived file
How the light stays red, and you stay, stay a while
Learning to touch without contact

Three Sheets
04:02
|
|||
|
Patiently asleep beneath the low horizon, drifting through the depth
Patiently I slip, confuse myself for something else in backwards breath
Aimlessly traverse the stars tonight, these are but waves of which to breach
Aimlessly I search between the notes, in pitch black pools of feedback sheets
Distant shadows merge, circling around the raft
Distant shadows merge, pull me back into the sea
|
||||
8. |
||||
|
Oh to rejoice in misery, the comfort of consistency
Oh to go down in someone's page, way way way way down...
Beneath the waves
Oh to hold hands with loneliness, the passing days, passed in duress
Oh to burn out not fade away, way way way way down into the grave
I seem to be leaving, I seem to have left
I seem to be alone, I am
To fall asleep is to wish for no more than escape
