Innocent, amazed at the dying giant It cannot be saved but it’s worth the trying Move, darling Move Rivers forming red all around the body hands staining red as the serpent eats itself Two eyes move Two eyes move Waste it not on days when it dawns on us a slip of the fingers —do we try to carry on? Perilously careless A grave misstep How could you slay your own savior? you’re cruel Why the sudden rain and the fear of fires? There is someone strange in the mirror I don’t know you Well I... can’t say They stay numb on days when it don’t add up Now they’re anxiously pacing How the hell’d we get here? Wasted notes No air in our throats Just a mountain of smoke And a spell of silence Wasted notes Erased it in post Just a mountain of tone On a rolling Dead Sea

I will be a form in tongues, a languid liar cut-up Spoken in a dead-eyed sun a resistance to action Now I’d better run for cover so I can be set free until you pull me under Open to the curving wind call me in and swallow Voices of your calling kin vacant stares and victims Now I’d better run for cover so I can be set free until you pull me under I could never see it coming the burning of the sea when you will pull me under, lover Left alone left devoid of form at the pinnacle Will we ever know? Will we ever float? We’ll be fed and full We’ll be letting go Now I’d better run for cover so I can be set free until you pull me under I could never see it coming the burning of the sea when you will pull me under, lover

Ebb & Flow 03:42
Such an endless eternity for eloquence I would sooner give up my piece than end this dance Feed your scent sacrament Oh, where did the feeling go? Does it ebb and flow? Touch love with a tender hand Find the flame again Set it alight When the weight of the world is cruel and tangible We could turn it all inside out and make it small Bleeding out Here and now Is this another string to bend? Could’ve been heavy hearted, left just to pretend Summarize the endless nights Oh, where did the feeling go? Do we ebb and flow? Reach out with a tender hand Find the flame again Set it alight Will you come back to me then? Will you come back to me then? Will you come back to me then? Will you come back to me then? Will you come back to me then? Will you come back to me then?

When we were divided flowers grew so tall stones upon their eyelids The building of a wall Torn in two directions Tangled in the vines the overgrowth of indigo the shifting of the signs What have we become? live to die another day What have we become? Ghosts will never fade away I move slow among the wreckage and chemicals a blurry face in the melted snow abandoned sleeping in winter clothes but in the light of a failing mind I will climb numb and blind open wide the crimson sky the tower high the echoes we divide What have we become? live to die another day What have we become? Ghosts will never fade away

Take off my armor Infinite temperature You got me dancing inside of a glance Sometimes we’re solid Sometimes we’re water If memory holds, we can run in reverse Weightless Unbearably light Burning Frozen in time Overturn this garden we grow Slept through the season With nothing to lean on Feeling the weight of the current below The shock of existence Children went missing Tasting the earth in the back of my throat Weightless Unbearably light Burning Frozen in time Overturn this garden we grow This is something to grow old with out of the cold formless bleed into each grain of sand
