Velvet Shedding
04:09
|

|
I found a tender spot
The velvet shedding of my father's love
Swollen in the blistering sun
With the pain of being the only one
Clear, in the clear of day
I was a boy full of child's play
With all I knew so wise in age
Are no longer perfect in any way
Sullen from the full of his load
Frozen in his season's snow
He'll never be the man he wanted to grow
I'll never be the one he hoped to know

Every February

Through the blinds when the sun won't shine
Staring at the ceiling tile
Wide awake I find each time
The dreams at night don't satisfy
Romanticizing those fragrant nights
When my beating heart was full of life
Now I'm too old to know who to be
With my own shadow bending away from me
In my dreams it never seems
I will break this lonely scene
The sun is sleeping when I start to ignite
But I'm bleeding out miles on the empty light
Through the vine I'll hear sometimes
I will never cross that county line
Steal away, into the night
Run these streets until the morning light
Now the same old streets where you found your stride
Have found some way to eat you alive
Wading through the tides drowning me at night
Sunken with the line I've cast aside
In my dreams it never seems
I will break this lonely scene
The sun is sleeping when I start to ignite
But I'm bleeding out miles on the empty light
In my dreams it never seems
I will break this lonely scene
The sun is sleeping when I start to ignite
But I'm bleeding out miles on the empty light
Every February I find each time
I'm the one who's still behind

Wanderer

Wait
I'll wait, I'll wait
For skies to change
The same
Remained, remained
Always hoped for more
In a way
The wait, the weight
In my heart did bore
Refrained
Always, always
From something more
The street's on fire
Desire turned it to flames
Oh where has gone I'm wanderer
Stirred a sorrowed soul lost in his way
In a haze,
A haze, a haze
Of the yellowing sun
In the light dripping dawn I hoped to exist
Wrapped only in threads of innocence
Unraveling sins that bind from within
A heart that can't beat tame
The street's on fire
Desire turned it to flames
Oh where has gone I'm wanderer
Stirred a sorrowed lament of his ways

Shining stolid through the pine

For in time all your life is blooming

Bellwether

I'm a swelling tide
With the lunar high
Where darkness only serves the glimmer
Of the dying light
Deep in the depths
I dared not try
Flushed of all tones
When my toes left the mire
Calling out
The leader of the flock at night
When all I ever wanted was just to feel alright
I can't unsee
All remains unseen
If forever is for only ever until it passes by
My hands are tied
These arms could break
Trying to hold back every pulse that can't beat tame
Revolving wildly
In an endless waltz
With every ounce of sadness
And every single ounce of doubt
Calling out
The leader of the flock at night
When all I ever wanted was just to feel alright
My misery creeps
For all remains unseen
If forever is for only ever until it passes by
Oh the stars
They're shining bright in my eyes
They're telling me they will leave me behind
Oh the stars
They must be burning with lies
Now I'm too blind to see if I'm wrong or they're right

Wild Apple
04:30
|

|
My wild apple my you have grown
From a hand unseen whose seed was sown
Through every tempest ruby remained your skin
With every other battered from the wind
No verdant fields of evergreen
Only hell awaits for me
Branched out high and shimmering
Nectar sweet and forbidden
Though in time you'll rot from within
And turn the ground with those who lived
No verdant fields of evergreen
Only hell awaits for me
So love is patient and love is kind
But never seems to find the time

Ursa Minor
03:57
|
|||
|
By the light of the moon subside
Deep in hues of waning light
Lying on your starboard side
Casting off into the night
Sail onto a tranquil sea
In all of its indefatigability
Some sleepless nights you will be my guide
When eyes are too tired to see the tide
Brightly burn
On the stern of it
When the water's turning
Be my guide

Crestfallen
07:55
|
|||
|
So woebegone
Now you've grown old to want to be alone
No direction of where but with the wind
And you're holding on so close
To the hope that one day you'll unsew
The imbrication's of sadness from your skin
It'll never end
The withering of the winter wind
The cabin fever itching from within
There's a wilderness
Barely beating and it's such a sin
The paths they've led and all that they did spin
Cresttfallen
They've got a hold
They've got a hold
They've got a hold
