doldrums 03:52
are you in my head? pretending to be sleeping something that you said - a lie you promised keeping no one that i know sails the squalling doldrums everyone i know will lay until the storms pass tell me who you've loved that's honestly intriguing now are they your friend? a liars endless reeving no one that i know sails the squalling doldrums everyone i know will lay until the storms pass no one thought you knew the devil had a child something let you through - a crying face arises i'm the door, you're the light - can we pretend this is all right? are you in my head? cos in my bed you're sleeping are you in my bed? cos in my head you're sleeping are you in my head? cos in my bed you're sleeping are you in my bed? cos in my head you're sleeping

the chair 02:51
fall asleep on my shoulder part of me leaves your door like a dark face in my brain hard to see light inside my lungs if i start breathing right down that road golden hair invisible in my mind serpent spine clavicle in her eye lids i see the chair i see the chair

dream 04:01
i fell asleep promising to call in the morning i dream, i dream, i dream holes in the forest and staring up i find dark eyes in the sky and falling back my head eclipses the sight- memories i keep, shrouding the night, refusing to fight who is this? god i'll try but i will shake until i wake up your eyes are gray your light is fading out now you dream, you dream, you dream through caves of your heart and hold it in until your chest explodes and falling back your head eclipses the sight- memories i keep, shrouding the night, refusing to fight who is this? god i'll try but i will shake until i wake up until i wake up

the mask 04:54
i feel the velvet pass my face its texture keeping me awake gently reminding me to wait my fingers graze against the wall counting the marks and holes but all my days spent rolling in a haze is this not a stone i saw? is this not a face i saw? your voice is my only call: a bird in the window a bird in the window you said just see him once a day providing only what i say and kill him if he won't obey a plate of bread a bowl of sand i'll move as quickly as i can the creek continue as i stand is this not the door i watch? is this not the morning watch? your chains are a raking dog- a bird in the window a bird in the window the sun descends upon your hand the vision gasping i can't stand can't find the words just wait and stare and as i dream they float away like puzzle pieces from the clay picture i kept except it fades i felt you rising in my gut ceasing the seasons keep me up and in my dreams i hold you out clenched in my arms but i can't stop oh how i kept you in the dark oh how you keep me in the dark a bird in the window, no a bird in the window

dark dove 02:38
i've been asking the walls to come down for me show me the difference mine haunts the morning painted skeleton prize in a dark white horse points show me the difference mine haunts the morning like a dark dove are you wasting your time? are you conscious and brave? are you far from your grave? are you holding me tight? are you breaking me down? are you fond of my name? like a dark dove

and now the garden sleeps and now the garden sleeps running and screaming and thinking about all the words that you're piecing together they rhyme in your mind sweeter and softer pedals that surround her reminders of dimly lit porches that hide but you're trying you're trying not to speak but now the ceiling breathes in swollen shaking knees baring marks around our bodies remind us of the edge of the couch blocking the window coldest morning that we've had coldest morning will we wait will we wake up without a fire to stir up without a fire to stir up without a fire to up without a fire to stir

sun 04:44
no one saw me i was waiting for something or someone to tell me no one saw, no one saw waiting for something or someone to tell me no, i am not your sun i am not your sun anymore cos nothing can touch me i am not your sun, you see secrets in my head i keep they lie inside my bed are you in my bed? no, i am not your sun i am not your sun anymore would you keep me til the end (before you start)? lie inside my head (before you start) would you keep me til the end (before you start)? keep me in your bed (before you start) just wait until the end (before you start) would you keep me til the end before you start?

saw them raid the house and you from the room you were in you were crawling on the ground away from the men who came in now our brother's on the fence here is conscious of dazing off? that gaze it stays that gaze it stays now my eyes are fading gray i fall and pray no one above heaven and stars how i wonder if you'll wait
9.
mask on the wall streaming shards from the river bend down to the king of the dark fallen dark dove unhinge your wings from the walls that fell down to the king of the dark shadowy son creep from your room to the light trees above you and the king of the dark wolf in the snow clean all your wounds as the blood rushes in from him the king of the dark lady in gold ride to the sun on a white horse that flies you to the king of the dark king of the dark
10.
he was waitin' downstairs in a chair with shadows for eyes and dark brown hair while you sat up straight tried not to stare fixed your lips those jewels you wear on your wrist sighing gently from the ground as your blood pumps up and down and you wish that you would scream his hands reclaiming what they've seen through foggy windowed dreams but every breath gasping for air another chance but you won't dare to give up the one you found so you let your body down the pressure is gone now so i'll wait 'til he leaves here and why his face kept me up at night? and now stars away curtain closed you're asking me why the answer
