Paloma
03:30
|
|||
|
[carnivorous flames
you burn like mythic serpent
slithering, sizing up to dislocate jaw
you suffocate none like you do him
and he never fails to melt just like nylon onto skin]
paloma, you set me ablaze
paloma, you carry this rage
if i leave you in the shallows
leave me as you would your failures
do as you please, love
haunt me
do as you're ready
haunt my limbs
to carry out your dirty deeds
[these are cold fits, sexual exorcisms, your names called out in sixes]
paloma, every breath you take
you hold a tide about the air
as i leave you in the shadows
shed me as you would your failures
do as you please, god
heal me
do as you're ready
heal my body
as i dance to beat of your pulse
as you heal me
you
bring caskets to weddings
with such conviction in your grip
but your shifty movements fashion
trails of visible disappointment
& everyone sees it
every time you
breathe
paloma, paloma, paloma
paloma, paloma, paloma

Mourning Too
03:05
|
|||
|
I know that you've come a long way
just to let me go
but I have done the same kind of mourning too
you know?
but all I've got is you
but all I've got is you
but all I've got is you
I did love you so (you are the only one)
I did love you so (that I have ever thought is true)
and I did love you (and I love you)
You know that I've come a long way
just to stay below
the hardest part of mourning was
my digging down a hole
to rest what's left of you
till all that's left is you
and all that's left is you
I did love you so (you are the only one)
I did love you so (that I have ever thought is true)
and I did love you so (and I love you)
I did love you so (you are the only one)
I did love you so (you are the only one)
I did love you so (you are the only one)
I did love you so (you are the only one)
I did love you so (that I have ever thought is true)
(and I love you)

Night Feels
01:29
|
|||
|
is this what night feels like for you?
shivers and fear swirling round in country fields
dark, dark
kaleidoscopic non-existence
dark, dark
here's to hoping for oblivion
Paranoid that I need you more
love feels like stacking joy on eroding shores
dark, dark
kaleidoscopic non-existence
dark, dark
here's to hoping for oblivion
dark, dark
find me waiting for you at the end
dark, dark
here's to hoping for oblivion
dark, dark
kaleidoscopic non-existence

Green Eyes
03:17
|

|
How was I so wrong before?
why was I mistaken for someone strong?
sure, surely I am water sent to burn
And surely you're open flames
made to drown drown drown
drown you in
Baby green eyes
how was I
how was I
how was I
to you (to know)
Baby, how was I suppose
how was I
how was I
how was I
to know (to you)
How was I in your eyes?
was I nice?
cause I felt like I was mistaken for someone else
sure, surely I am water
cant stand atoll
Old voices convincing me no
oh you're love is not pure
it just keeps me from moving on
Baby green eyes
how was I
how was I
how was I
to you (to know)
Baby, how was I suppose
how was I
how was I
how was I
to know (to you)
Baby green eyes
how was I
how was I
how was I
to you (to know)
Tell me baby
was I someone else in your head?
tell me baby
was I another woman
another woman in your bed
tell me if you'll leave me

Fading
01:53
|
|||
|
Clearly this is not
what we planned
or how it ends
no no
Baby please just stay
you & I
can make it work again
oh no
But all our talking
always bodes the same
you were all I ever needed
but you changed
Oh this pain grows the same
all the pieces
left form silhouettes
she was all you ever needed
but she left
Understand you want to keep fading
oh no, so what about me then?
understand you want to keep fading
oh no, so what about me then?
what about me then?
what about me then?
what about me then?
what about me then?

Patient/Pacing
02:43
|
|||
|
Sorry I'm no saint
I hate waiting
Sorry I'm not still
I've been pacing
Is it selfish if I ask you
When can we finally be free from this
Sadness we just love
Hopeless we feel lost
All the am-I-not-enoughs?
Am I selfish if I say
That's not how this works?
Worry I'm no good
at this healing
Hurry with the pain
I'm not patient
Is it selfish if I ask you
When can I finally be free from this
Sadness I just love
Hopeless I feel stuck
When will I run into luck?
Am I selfish if I say
That's not where it hurts?
woah x3
Worry i am not good at this healing
Hurry with the pain
I'm not patient; I'm not waiting

Hope is gone
and if you ask the right bird
you'll find it true
ah
Morning comes
only if you find the right word
is this proof?
ah
Maybe I should finally find a way to loose
the parts that I don't use
Maybe I can rest my mind & leave behind
the parts that I don't use
If I cry & shed & leave behind
If I cry & shed & leave behind
If I cry & shed & leave behind
will I survive?
will I survive?
will I survive?
Rope is tied
and If you'd like to live right
better tell the truth
ah
Told you so
if you have a better way of doing
then please do
ah
Maybe I should finally find a way to loose
the parts that I don't use
Maybe I can rest my mind & leave behind
the parts that I can't use
Maybe I rest my eyes & learn to love
the parts that I can't loose
If I cry & shed & leave behind
If I cry & shed & leave behind
If I cry & shed & leave behind
will I survive?
will I survive?
will I survive?
will I survive?
will I survive?
will I survive?
Hope is gone
and if you ask the right bird
you'll find it true
ah
Morning comes
only if you find the right word
is this proof?
ah

Dreams
04:00
|

|
I was once had a dream
A dream about love
but love is but a thought
a fool once had about a dream
and I've got nothing but feelings in my heart
yeah I've got shadows where there was once bright light
now it's the devil's light
and you you've got me now
falling down this road
away from all my tears
downwards into a hole
anything for something new
Oh god, I
Oh god, I
I can't come back for you
I can't come back for you
I was once had a dream
A dream about love
but love is but a thought
a fool once had about a dream
and it feels it's hard to be my heart
yeah I've gone dark where there was once a spark
there was once a spark
and you you've caught me now
falling down this road
towards all my fears
downwards into a hole
anything for something new
Oh god, I
Oh god, I
I can't come back for you
I can't come back for you

Terra
03:11
|

|
I am of loam
My tired, deciduous bones
They bring me joy in my eyes
& I’ll rest them till the end of my time
On gargantuan mountains I’ve climbed
Dark dark darker skies
tend wild flowers, brew violent tides
Light light lightly child
deeply but lightly through kinder eyes
Youthful and flawed
You cage me in loving and gentle prison walls
How I’ve built my fortress inside
Where you house me to till the end of my time
In any cardboard coffins you can find
Dark dark darker skies
tend wild flowers , brew violent tides
Light light lightly child
deeply but lightly through kinder eyes
Dark dark darker lies (Take my hand in your hand)
tend wild flowers and violent tides (guide me through the curves of your terra)
Light light lightly child (I ‘ve been reading but unable to understand)
deeply but lightly through kinder eyes (why I’m alive, uncontained, and unafraid to disappear)
Take my hand in your hand
guide me through the curves of your terra
I ‘ve been reading but unable to understand
why I’m alive, uncontained, and unafraid to disappear
