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
7.
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
