Wires
02:30
|

hey there, barefoot
never around
calling you
I'm always here for you
freeway driving never so free
sunny days in June
what we do for food
to feed our moods
don't touch the wires
just watch the show
don't question anything
you are not supposed to know
mountains cloaked
in smoke and our steel
crying, “Fools!
“we are your friends, too!”
snapping strings and energy fields
absorbing truth
siphoning all souls through
all souls through
don't touch the wires
just watch the show
don't question anything
you are not supposed to know
just keep your head down
or you'll alert the patrol
shield your eyes from
blinding lights of control

Wild
03:01
|

rivers are flowing without you
where I painted your chest with clay
in the Chemainus
the air's still warm
what have we done without the morning
the hidden solstice sun?
you're high in the hills of creation
with wires and wood
but it was the sea
that brought us together
now it's the sea
that keeps us apart
I try to hold on to your image
a fainter dream
in the wilds of Tomamu
I sing in the Grove and count to 16
but it was the sea
that brought us together
now it's the sea
that keeps us apart
it was the sea
that brought us together
now it's the sea
that tears us apart

Waiting
03:06
|
|||
when I'm wanting you
I can't feel anymore
just pace around
between the fur on the floor
sweet December rain
will we see the sky again?
I sit here waiting
I'm sick of waiting
when I'm wanting you
I don't care anymore
don't face the word
just be cruel to myself
sweet December rain
will we see the sky again?
I sit here waiting
I'm sick of waiting

Quickening
02:57
|
|||
still tethered to the other side
his heart is floating in the dark
and watery depths that held his mind
until the great thrust to the light
it wasn't his choice to be dragged across
the thin line between dawn and morning
the quickening
falls at your feet
sharp sound and bright to the eyes
unknown this feeling of life
consciousness and dreams alike
a dose of reality's potion
cries a desperate call in time
for a saviour from the starry ocean
the quickening
falls at your feet
oh, first taste of pain
a need to return again
sharp sound and bright to the eyes
unknown this feeling of life
a cage, a snare for the womb
released to sunset and ruin
...sun rising through it...
...sunset and ruin...

Spirit
03:13
|
|||
are we coerced
by the mists of the swirling words?
maybe it's all made clear
but first, we have to cry ten lakes of tears
still the locks atone to martyrs
we drift further away
no matter what the darkness has to say
the spirit understands
fire within
the winds gust but the flame stays still
we live each day
we die each day
still the night just gives us reasons
to question every path
no matter what made the heart bleed last
the spirit understands

Tangled
03:38
|
|||
I was born tangled
swollen with scars
hanging out with the druids
they were dirty dogs
undrugged and lucid
erotics exist
devour temptation
we listen and kiss
when the ruin takes me down
if there were no angles
there's be looser minds
where's the bin with the ashes?
add a dash to the souls entwined
when the ruin takes me down
I haven't slept for a while now
the feeling's done in
it's changed my being
my love may wish he never met me
but we share the sun
we share the son

Enough
02:51
|
|||
I'll be there for you
when you find new love
I'll be there for you
when you've had enough
what souls have pained the others?
the darkest unknown
across an infinite space
I gotta go
the threats, they say, of violence
dig a torturous hole
muscles made meat of the face
I know
I'll be there for you
when you find new love
I'll be there for you
when you've had enough
the nights you see are lonely
a silent hand
that storms its way in the place
to f*ck with man
I'll be there for you
when you find new love
I'll be there for you
when you've had enough
enough of here
enough of her
enough of fear
but still walking on the earth
I'll be there for you
when you find new love
I'll be there for you
when you've had enough
