Heartsigh
Whisper, whimper on; I
Wont forget to close your eyes for you
Ill sing before you lie down, down; and
Push your sleep along; I'll
Sink below the ground; find
The weeping wailing calls you echo, and I'll
Build a house around you
Stir a moat until you drown, down
Whisk away your heartsigh and
Bury it in mine, I'll
Whisk away your heartsigh
And bury it in mine
Only lonely hidden breath beneath the floor
(breath beneath the floor)
Only, only where your tears drip from the drawers
Only lonely hid the morning from the stars
Only, only weeping glimmers in the dark
I can hear your back cracking
Over the sky so you can wear it
And thunder whispered low so you could
Bear it in
I'll
Whisk away your heartsigh and
Bury it in mine, I'll
Whisk away your heartsigh
And bury it in mine
Come down, come now back;
Carry on, wearily on now?
Come down, come now back;
Carry on, wearily on now?
Only lonely hidden breath beneath the floor
(breath beneath the floor)
Only, only where your tears drip from the drawers
Only lonely hid the morning from the stars
Only, only weeping glimmers in the dark
Whisk away your heartsigh and (...away your heartsigh)
Bury it in mine (bury it in mine)
Whisk away your heartsigh (...away your heartsigh)
And bury it in mine (bury it in mine)

Bodyache
You said, you said
"Turn the lights down, I wanna be alone"
I ran your head away
I couldn't stand how it pleaded
I needed to take
[Pre-Chorus:]
Take a break, take me down, take me down there
I wanna stare at the tears, how they water your years
Take a break, take me down, take me down there
I wanna stare at your tears, how they
[Chorus:]
I, I, I lied, now I'm lying awake
I, I, I cried 'til my body ache
I, I, I lied, now I'm lying awake
I, I, I cried 'til my body ache
You sweat, and you bled
I couldn't look cause your body, your body would shake
And you feared a lonely death
Like a lake leaves you alone in her depths
[Pre-Chorus]
[Chorus]
I wanna know what's your
I wanna know what's your quietest feeling
I saw you break out, I saw you break out
Saw you unreeling
I lied, now I'm lying awake
I cried until my body ache
I lie, now I'm lying awake
Now I'm lying awake, now I'm lying awake
[Chorus]
Now I'm lying awake, now I'm lying awake
Until my body ache, until my body ache
I, I, I cried 'til my body...

Push Pull
You were young and you'd stare
With a reverence unimpaired
There was an echo far and faint
Beneath the air remained
You were young and you'd stare
Where my limbs hung far and fair
Make a ladder of what folds
And climb up in me
You push and you pull and you tell yourself no
It's like when you lie down, the veins grow in slow
You push and you pull
But you'd never know
I crept up in you and I
Wouldn't let go
There was no light and I swear
I could see your raring fear
I heard the plains moaning back
I saw the thunder roll o'er black
There was no light and I swear
We sat still in our fear
Make a ladder of what folds
And climb up in me
You push and you pull and you tell yourself no
It's like when you lie down, the veins grow in slow
You push and you pull
But you'd never know
I crept up in you and I
Wouldn't let go
I carve out the spaces (and I)
Imparted graces (and I)
I couldn't shake it (and I)
I built a constellation lair
Out of the moles that hovered there
A fever billowed with the wind
And I bade the sky therein
I build a constellation lair
Out of the moles that hovered there
Make a pardon of what knows
And climb up in me
You push and you pull and you tell yourself no
It's like when you lie down, the veins grow in slow
You push and you pull
But you'd never know
I crept up in you and I
Wouldn't let go
You push and you pull and you tell yourself no
It's like when you lie down, the veins grow in slow
You push and you pull
But you'd never know
I crept up in you and I
Wouldn't let go
Repetition
[Bridge:]
Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey
Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey
Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey
Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey
[Verse 1:]
Tell me that you wanna move me around like that
I will watch your lips curved in a smooth combat
Make your way through my tears and I'll relax
If you're the truest one I'm gonna make you a season
Climb up in my rattling spine and I'll contract
Tell me I'm the only one and I'll move back
If you see your daydreams in me they'll not lack
What's been waited in me, I'll make it click with reason
[Chorus:]
Watching me is like watching a fire take your eyes from you
Hope it isn't repetition
Though that's the only thing that keeps and takes you
Watching me is like watching a fire take your eyes from you
Hope it isn't repetition
Though that's the only thing that keeps and takes you
[Verse 2]
I can feel your knees sinking into the bed
Searching in my dark eyes to wreck what's been said
There's a wave of grace until
[?]
There's a light in my skin that's been dimmed
I'mma dig you up and give you what I took
Pull you up and tuck you in and make you look
I'mma smooth your shoulders down and calm what's shook
It was all forlorn, if only for a season
[Chorus]
[Bridge]
It was all forlorn, if only for a season
[Chorus]

Stranger Than Earth
I had a feeling you broke
And the smoke filled you up
I wasn't thinking 'bout you
You have a mind that makes sight
Of the weight you took up
I wasn't thinking 'bout you
Again, again, again
I wasn't thinkin 'bout you
I wasn't
I wasn't
Again, again, again
I wasn't thinkin 'bout you
I wasn't
I wasn't
There is a color that shines through your skin
Like a moon on the wind when I dare bear you in
The night is full on the half of your evaded mass
[?]
And the rings round your eyes.
We are stranger than earth
With her seasons misled
Stronger than the moons
When our parts parted, she had bled and bled and bled
I wasn't thinkin' bout you
Again, again, again
I wasn't thinkin 'bout you
I wasn't
I wasn't
Again, again, again
I wasn't thinkin 'bout you
I wasn't
I wasn't
There is no lesson in magic
There were untimely dreams where I knew
Broken in a fog, don't sweat it
And reckon none of it had come from you
There is no lesson in magic
There were untimely dreams where I knew
Broken in a fog, don't sweat it
And reckon none of it had come from you
Pity seek what we might lose
But in a week might our weakness elude
There was a stagger that shift in my hips
So how swiftly it shook the dew from my lips
There was a danger that seeped from my skull
How it dripped on us all
But it wasn't your fault
We are stranger than earth
With her seasons misled
Stronger than the moons
When our parts parted, she had bled and bled and bled
I wasn't thinkin' bout you
Again, again, again
I wasn't thinkin 'bout you
I wasn't
I wasn't
Again, again, again
I wasn't thinkin 'bout you
I wasn't
I wasn't
Again, again, again
I wasn't thinkin 'bout you
I wasn't thinkin 'bout you
I wasn't thinkin bout you
Again, again, again
I wasn't thinkin 'bout you
I wasn't thinkin 'bout you
I wasn't
And we break downstairs with our fevers in the air
I forgot to ask now I only left them there
How thick it sips and now your eyes glare
How thick it sips and why your eyes glare
Pity seek what we might lose
But in a week might our weakness elude

Begin Again
Begin Again
Begin Again
Begin Again
I've been watching your kindness keep
A lonely company
Look at the fire and think of me
I've been watching you creep
Around my wandering feet
Trying for years to flee
I need not one thing more
O wrap the ground around
Your gentle winding mind
O guard the pounding sound
Breathe in your fiery air
O wrap the ground around
Give back an hungrier stare
O guard the pounding sound
You be the moon I'll be the earth
And when we burst
Star over o darling
Begin again
Begin again
Begin again
[x2]
My moon o my moon
Not even into
Another eternity
Will you stop your lovely orbiting
I had held it a world away
Until my body 'gan to say
I need not one thing more
O wrap the ground around
Your gentle winding mind
O guard the pounding sound
Breathe in your fiery air
O wrap the ground around
Give back an hungrier stare
O guard the pounding sound
You be the moon I'll be the earth
And when we burst
Star over o darling
Begin again
Begin again
Begin again
[x2]
Dust Hymn
[Chorus:]
Dear lie still along my old web
Cursed by your dust filled hymn
Dear lie still along my old web
Cursed by your dust filled hymn
Water spills down o'er the glass, left always full
There's a dew under the bed
Where sweat and dreams have dread
Your feet would touch the floor
Drift around our board
Hang you like a lullaby
[Pre-Chorus:]
Hang you like a lullaby
Hang you like a lullaby
[Chorus]
Little voices left to rot and plot
The crunching of your teeth might help you sleep
But will not lift you
Always wished you'd walk
Through another song
Hangs you like a lullaby
[Pre-Chorus]
[Chorus]

Flood On The Floor
She lost her voice down by the river
Screamin' for courage, take oceans and her
She read your mind and called it her terror
Misplacin' her sleep to keep the world nearer
[Refrain:]
Don't forget the way she pushed the water inside
Waded through the spirits like a flood on the floor
Don't forget, forget, don't forget, forget
Don't forget, forget, don't forget, forget
[Pre-Chorus:]
I'll miss keepin' you
I hope you're sleepin' too
[Chorus:]
I hope you're
I hope you're
She took your face and called it a choir
Knitted lace out of lashes, battered with ashes
She held her hands and told you to wonder
How you'd fit in the land if the waves held you under
[Refrain]
[Pre-Chorus]
[Chorus]
I'll take you out and up in light
I'll bury you good and straight and right
I'll take you out and up in light
I'll bury you good and straight and right
I'll take you out and up in light
I'll bury you good and straight and right
If you ask an answer
Don't forget, forget, don't forget
[Chorus x2]
Don't forget, forget, don't forget, forget
Don't forget, forget, don't forget, forget

Sea Castle
I could build a big machine
Draw pictures for the walls
Hang up all my fragile thoughts
Display that you might see
A space, a drop, a cloth
A comfort of frailties in me
A space, a drop, a cloth
A comfort of frailties
[Pre-Chorus:]
Baby, why don't you see, see my sea?
Make slow, get inside and pull on my sea
Get inside and build your castle in me
Baby, why don't you see, see my sea?
The moon is dead but she still pulls on me
Get inside and pull on my sea
[Chorus:]
Take time, make slow
Where have I been? Why can't you see?
Take time, make slow
Where have I been? Why can't you see me?
I could give you petty rhymes
Of worlds that I can try
They're in my sleep, my dreams, I speak them
Slow so you can read
And not stand back and stare and fear
The wish devouring things
And not stand back and stare and fear
The wish devouring
[Pre-Chorus]
[Chorus]
I could push a house all
Through iron on the fire
I can taste your vulnerable parts
Slow so you will start
To shut out what's destructed around you
Look at me, I'm a sea, I'm your sea
I'll shut out what's destructed around you
Look at me, I'm a...

Stillness In Woe
Meet me in the blue bed, I'll be drying out your flaws
And clawing out to cause my knees to tremble
Meet me in the back shed, I'll be hanging up the knives
Humming melodies that rhyme, building castles out of shovels
Hang my head about as if we never had the time
To draw it on the walls, what's all the trouble?
Push my mind around as if it's warming up your hand
As if it's softer than the land, all silked and supple
[Chorus:]
Don't be afraid if it's a little bit close
I built a kingdom of your throats, I'm seeing double
Don't be afraid if there's no wind in my hair
There's a stillness left in there, I'm seeing double
[Refrain:]
I'm seeing double, I, oh
I'm seeing double, double
Ah-ah, uh-oh
I'm seeing double, double
Dry it out for days and then I'll beckon every ray
I'll hover like a frame or push the crowd out
Meet me in the back shed, throw the wind and he'll not pass
Hold up what's cast to listen close to how my knees pray
I'll pry the door from its bolts
I've hiding out for days and nothing's growing
There's a breath left in there, all I would say
Wait for the start, take it away, I'm seeing double
[Chorus]
[Refrain]
I built a kingdom of your throats (don't be afraid)
But it's a little bit close (if it's a little bit close)
There is a stillness in our woes (don't be afraid)
If it's a little bit cold (if it's a little bit cold)
