Flight 04:31
At the bottom of the lake I will bury my mistake Silver needles thread the bank, burning brains all softly sank In the ferns there lay entangled Severed smiles and memories mangled Summoning a trepidation To this old and sovereign nation In the shadow In the valley In the mountains where my father was a young man If your mind's playing tricks on you Don't be afraid If your eyes are playing tricks on you Don't be afraid If no one's playing tricks on you Don't be afraid Sleep is ready for to take, there is nothing but to wake I have everywhere to thank, write the Autumn mornings blank Spirit, I have found a treasure Perfect comfort in great measure Thirty days is too long waiting Anxious and anticipating In the shadow In the valley In the mountains where my father was a young man

Shot out of a cannon Don't you feel like you are drowning? Leaden lungs all filled up Best make peace with your surroundings When I get back Will I tell you what I've learned? Could I even if I tried? An ever-frantic pace A perjured sense of place In every waning day The scrim gets ripped away It won't make a difference, Not this bit of sonic violence Dig your heels in firmly Or just acquiesce in silence But when I get back You can have all that I've earned I don't need it

Don't disappear while I'm anchored here Don't lose your nerve now I'm dying for something to happen The New England coast plays parasite and host There's always something that once made its home where you're standing Flying over the Atlantic Teeming traveler, where do you go to? Sea of black, all the rocks are tilting In my mind you're beneath the waves I saw your eyes that day Green as the field where we lay I saw your eyes that day Green as the field where we lay I saw your I saw your I saw your eyes that day You were a phase Fierce and fervent and fleeting as a hurricane Flying over the Atlantic Teeming traveler, where do you go to? Sea of black, all the rocks are tilting In my mind you're beneath the waves Something silently stalks the Baltic Caught halfway in a soft migration Seven days to create a planet We'll work faster than God's own hands I saw your eyes that day Green as the field where we lay I saw your eyes that day Green as the field where we lay

Deserter 03:31
Trudging through the desert You know you're a fool to be out here on your own What spell you must be under On a walkabout so cruel through desperate parts unknown Those boundless empty plains Of faithlessness and spite With no end in sight I won't leave you here An ocean of malaise And we've both got the bends This feeling never ends I have to go But you don't ever think about what's beneath your feet Ancient causeways sanded down like cashmere on concrete Daguerreotypes hang on the wall A pleasant silence from the hall Maybe it was real after all
5.
Tired 02:46
The winter started dying with a Southerly breeze The scratches on your elbows and the scrapes on my knees I was hibernating somewhere up in the stacks Maybe I could learn to relax But it's long, so long And I have never been so tired Exhaustion of a life well spent In days of constant movement The narrative was ending, we were running apart Circumstances turning so cold and bizarre A fictional addiction and some time spent alone Time to find a place of my own Sleeping in the hedges on the side of the road I just wanted you to come home But it's wrong, so wrong And I have never been so tired Exhaustion of a life well spent In days of constant movement
