The Way
03:42
|
|
||
|
The way we said it
Depraved all our good wills
We couldn’t relate so we locked up the doors
The wave settled
Contained, sealed up in ice
We poured all our hearts out and unleashed a vice
The way we said it

Ghost Whispers
04:00
|
|
||
|
We’ve been hiding here for a hundred years
Little whispered lies for your listening ears
Masters of disguise hammer-headed shark
Sneaking round like spies in the dark
Watching from above coming from behind
It’s the shiver crawling up and down your spine
If your heart was clean you wouldn’t have to hide
You know who you are and you’re petrified
Oh lord we coming with a vengeance
Ghost whispers in the darkness
Who?

Bear & Wolf
03:31
|
|
||
|
Tell me about your dream
A queen marched with a black mask
What did you dream about last night?
It was a tiny bear
He went down to see a wolf
The tiny bear said
“Wolf don’t! I will go away!”
The wolf said
“Hey, I will eat you.”
And the bear will be happy again
What did we do?
We locked her out
Because we were scared

When Rains Came
03:16
|
|
||
|
Spring coming down in drops
It’s raining cats and dogs
A vernal pitter-pat
Bring all the colors back
One more dark day
Winter the mud is black
Bring all the daylight back
Bring that aroma back
Bring all the colors back
Please bring my brother back
One more dark day

Lush

Octaves ring when we resonate
I can feel what you were tracing
With your hands on my heart
And your rolling eyes
And you (take me off of the Earth)
Really ground me (take me out of here)
Heart's pounding on the back of my ribs
Cause you’re so damn lush
Take me off the earth
Take me out of my mind
Green like a leaf like a tree like the forest brush
Push the current as we alternate
Octaves ring when we resonate
And we barely touched
But it's enough
Cause you're so damn lush
I'm a lucky man
With a rosy blush
You're a goddess and
You're so damn lush

Enceladus

|
|
||
|
Way beyond the rings
In an chilly sheath
Hides an ocean in the sky
Living underneath
Swimming underneath the cold
Tiny creatures lost to time
In the tiger stripes
Cracking up the ice
Little fountain full of life
Banished in the plume
A supernal bloom, cyan
Went the last of all our kind
In the tiger stripes, cyan

Aphelocoma

|
|
||
|
Bouncing on branches
Soul effervescent
Flutters
A pleasant surprise
When the scrubjay flies
The scrubjay flies
I hope you come
And leave behind
Your cobalt coat
A gift to find
And flutter off

In the wild

Lost at Sea
05:16
|
|

We don't know
Who we are
We don't know
Who we are
We are lost
Lost at sea
Oh no
Lost at sea

Impossible, Convenient
03:29
|
|
||
|
You want it all
Convenience
Don’t look down
You want it all
You write me off
And killed me off
You are impossible
Impossible
Convenient
Don’t look down
Lift the ladder up
Build a wall
Around us
We’re animals
We’re animals
We’re animals
Impossible
Convenient
Don’t look down
We’re animals

The Nothing
05:01
|
|
||
|
I can’t keep on running
Keep on running
From the Nothing
With white flags
Set on the Auryn’s power
We all can’t run form this
No one can run form this
It wasn’t even there
It was gone
It was fine now it’s gone
And it’s coming
And it’s eating space and time
Like we all went blind
I can’t keep on running
Keep on running
From the Nothing
You must go unarmed
You must let what happens happen
Son of all
Son of all
Son of all
I can’t keep on running
Keep on running
From the Nothing

Bridge on Fire
04:34
|
|
||
|
Light the bridge on fire
Send the signals up
Let the cables fall
And the towers drop
Let the greedy scream
Stand your ground
Stand your ground
Walk among the fireworks
Light a candle for me
Just the edge is crumbling
And the powers drop
Get the guillotine
Stand your ground
Stand your ground
When the snake is charmed
And the devil’s not
Don’t let your neck get chopped
Stand your ground
Stand your ground
Careful when you call me
Careful when you call me out
We come inferno
We come with a bonfire at your feet

Speak of the Devil
06:07
|
|
||
|
Hop into the boat
Wipe away your tears
You don’t have to swim
It will take you to the other side
Rolling with the tide
Waters coming up
You can meet me on the other side
Light breaks in and takes everything over
Meet me on the other side
Meet me on the other side
Sparkling
Sparkling
It’s beautiful
It’s beautiful

The Bison

|
I’ll be there when you’re wrong
I’ll be there in the cold
I’m the only way you love
We’re the only animal
I’ll be the winding down
The end is ours
It’s ours
We’re running on the sky
We’re trampling the clouds
With your fingers in my fur
And your head against my horns
I’ll be the comfort come
The end is ours
It’s ours
Until the end is ours
Until the burning stars
Explode into the dark
And bring us back to start
The end is ours
It’s ours
The end is ours
It’s ours
