If I Let The Air In
02:30
|
|

|
If I let the air in
Through the open window
What do I let slip away
If I let you see me
With your open eyes
What do I let into mine
If I let the air in
Through the open door
How to keep from wanting more

Fire Fallow
04:28
|
|
||
|
There is a light above
Your head in the smoke
There is a sphere unsealed
A place you can go
There is a fist that forms
Reluctant and torn
There are the seeds of love
Forgotten, reborn
The fire is crying
And the walls are filled with doubt
And I wake up feeling
Like there is no way out

I Listen For You
04:55
|
|
||
|
The frozen air has left us
In the silence now in bloom
And the violence of the summer
Burns up the afternoon
You carry gold and kindness
You bury blood and hate
The former lifts you over
The latter changes shape
Thank you, Stranger
Thank you, Friend
I listen for you
Until the end

It Will Feel Good
04:13
|
|
||
|
Light a stumbling night the door is closed
Fraught with frozen spine and total control
Life gives in to time the fortunate road
See the question end and let it unfold
In the fields of bone
In the fields of bone
Stare at moving air until you are told
Write down at the stem and where takes hold
Pay to cross the state or love every wall
No, not even you can get where you’ve gone
In the fields of bone
In the fields of bone
Look at the red light when you need to
Look at the fixture and the fan
It will feel good, it will feel obvious
To never really understand
To never really understand
To never really understand
To never really understand
To never really understand

Sink
02:54
|
|
||
|
When will you take me back
Out to the sea
The cold waters cover me
And my family
Leave me with manatee
And sinking palm trees
Lost are our differences
Having
Holding

Ommatidium
04:41
|
|
||
|
Call me over, call me through
To a fog spilling from a room
A dull buzzing leads me to
A fly staring back at me
Compound and crystalline
The whole and the incomplete
Ommatidium
Ommatidium
Waves cradle me to shore
Wind carries seed
A flood rushes underneath
To you staring back at me
What is it that you see
A light or your reckoning
Ommatidium
Ommatidium

A Dream You Don't Need
03:43
|
|
||
|
Patron of the crossing over kings
Carry with hands the useless position
Watching over everything in an vacant land
Working veil betraying the fingers
Paint in jest for lightness and derision
Shoot the fire into the sky until you understand
It’s the simplest thing you can design
It's a dream you don’t need a secret life
It’s the simplest thing you can design
It’s a dream you don’t need a secret life
Ape of love with stunted tail
Broken thumb clings to uncover
There’s your reason make it known keep it quiet
Progeny of something living
Dies to be the father of precision
Now we listen, wait and see, and fade into the plan
It’s the simplest thing you can design
It's a dream you don’t need a secret life
It’s the simplest thing you can design
It’s a dream you don’t need a secret life

Full and Clean
05:58
|
|
||
|
There are sometimes
I wish that I
Was still by your side
And other times
I think it was right
To say goodbye
It's not out of sentiment
That I say I will never forget
The times we shared
It's more of an eerie fact
That if my mind's intact
You'll still be there
Even though I know it comes for me
And that death will come to comfort me
My life can still be full and clean
And bright and sharp
And dark and mean
We are like the internet
Filled with things we will regret
And our future lives
We live for info
Sometimes we die slow
But we hope we don't
Sweet dreams for some
Others learn from other stuff
Like truth and love
Deep in the ground
And high in the clouds
We hang around.
And even though I know it comes for me
And that death will come to comfort me
My life can still be full and clean
And bright and sharp
And dark and mean

Always finding albums like this that I wish I discovered years ago. Love, love, love this, from the simple arrangements to the Bond theme and screams of 'I know the end'.
