In The Clearing
04:38
|

|
When you need a place of rest
When children scream
and mothers try their best
And then enters you
Close my ears and eyes
So I can't feel the world outside
Safe from here
Behind you
Crystal clear
When I hide you
Slowly fall into you
Great unknown from this view
All we are is all we know
In the clearing we have room to grow

Suburban Dreams

Give me television
Give back my prescription
Sprinklers on
Brown loafers
Green grocers
Blinkers on
Brown loafers
Green grocers
An offering to keep building
An offering
Give me education
Strange paperback fiction
Take what you want
I can't see in the dark
Give me indecision
(Take what you want)
Strange paperback fiction
(I can't see in the dark)
Give me
Give me
Give me

Sulphur
04:14
|

|
In its transparency
Arms stretched under the marquee
Tremelo by the window
To and fro in diminuendo
Oh so serious
Let go of the rest
Fall down on yourself
We drown by ourselves
Sulphur sculptor
Secret dogma
When you're creeping eerily
When I find you on your knees
There you go, through the window
To and fro in diminuendo
Sulphur sculptor
Secret dogma

Harsh Land Bruises
04:11
|
|||
|
Harsh lands call for thickened skin
Prepare yourselves for the fall
Hands are raw
and bruised that chin
Before that grin
you hit the floor
Bruised and groaning
Shake the morning dust off
roll our hands to fists
You pull me up
I'm ready for the fight if you're in my midst
When we fall down
onto the ground
Waste no time to
get up
shake the dirt off
get in line
Graceless entrance lure the people from their horses to the ground
The sky is lit with flames the people gather but don't make a sound

Volumes

|
Pictures, created
Monsters, saved for later
rear their heads
There is so much to overthrow
But we don't know any better
Come a little closer
I want to know you
Teach me everything of your suffering
We heal with eyes wide open
The spaces
The places
our fathers created

Oh! Protagonist
04:09
|

|
Oh!
Oh Protagonist!
In a winged abyss
Nothing more to it
Oh!
Oh Protagonist!
Inappropriate enthusiast
All your feathers blossom
Children misbegotten
Oh!
Oh Protagonist!
In my permanent disfigurement
