Cherry Blossom
06:06
|
|||
I had a dream
That air turned to lead
I awoke in a place
Where angels did tread
A silent scream
Would echo for days
Throughout the garden
Where your body lay
Candles lit up the pyre
Strangled ashes of what came before
I stole onto the scene
As your heart pumped out the loneliest beat
Freedom is falling like cherry blossom
Falling down onto me
(And you)
Always falling

Teardrop Girl-Star
05:25
|

You were the writing on the wall
Six long years to go
Count it soft and slowly
Let the days ebb and flow
Teardrop Girl-Star
Where was your year zero?
Your heart and its love alone
Still won't save the world
But between the finer lines
And the foot prints that we leave behind
You'll lead me by the hand and sing a siren's song
And I will sing along
If you're expecting rapture, then follow me
Across the darkness of the lunar sea
If you're expecting rapture, then follow me
Across the darkness of the lunar sea
If you're exploding outward, follow me
Across the darkness of the lunar sea

Ghostly Apparitions
03:48
|
|||
The method ends and the madness begins
I've seen a line being drawn under all of my sins
Now I'm floating to your hole under the stairs
I've climbed Jacob's Ladder and I'd do it again
You can lay down the law for the angels to abide
You can take a single seed from the sacred tree of life
And you can plant it in the soil again
You can sow a silver thread to cover both my eyes
This way it's safer
You can lead the walking dead to the place that we will lie
This path spells danger
I shouldn't have been seen
I shouldn't have been heard

Flutterbys
05:25
|

Let all your colours run
Let the oxygen flow free
Fly yourself up to the sun
Like Icarus, fall with me
Yellowcake, pattercake
Hail Mary, full of grace
Paroxetine can help you see
All creation in the Iifa Tree
For all the leaves in the air
Turning, turning
All on a wing and a prayer
Turning, turning
|

Lost At Sea
04:28
|
|||
Praise be yours to keep in case of danger
Sweetness pressed into your mouth by a stranger
March into the sea at will
Hope your heart can love me still
Go beyond the looking glass
Waving white flags to the sky, I'll give way
Bind my hands with silver wires and golden chains
Crawl into the space beneath
Lay me down in coral reef
Below this dying sun
The winds are still
But the weight of life wills
That in your heart
You must
Give in

The Untempered Schism
03:45
|
|||
I was a favoured son so mercurial
A child doted on with materials
All the stars fell into position
Above a kind of living hell so unrepentant
I'm not the average kind
I couldn't fall back on a lie
I'd cut off the tongue that told it
There was a monster here before behind the curtains
It almost killed me once of that I'm certain
It appears in many forms and situations
And leads me to believe I was mistaken
I'm not the average kind
Spinning free in space and time
How I wish your eyes beheld it
Rein it in

Ascension
08:35
|
|||
I was dying
Strung out in ultra violet light
Held your hand in silence
As I saw you crying
Don't be scared
Don't be scared
Don't be scared
The air is thicker here
And my tongue can still taste ash
All these things should come to pass
In time, this will be made clear
My soul's unchained
My soul's unchained
My soul's unchained
From the ghosts that beckon me on
I return to the Iifa Tree
A willow weeping life itself
Now it rots in toxic air
And the branches fall into the sea
I fell to my knees
I fell to my knees
I fell
And then I was floating
I was floating
Onwards and upwards

Swansong
07:31
|
|||
I wrote this thinking of how you solidified
From a star in the galaxy calcified
Mind into matter, words on a paper scroll
I know down inside you're just a contemplative soul
You should know that all things will be
You should know that all things will be
We walked through fire to land's eternal ending point
From purgatory to freedom, hand in hand, we were joined
Scrawling your parting shots, ascending eventually
Crashing through heaven's gate in strokes of 1, 2, 3
You should know that all things will be
You should know that all things will be
You should know that all things will be
You should know that all things will
All
Things
Will
Be
