I’m sorry that the women you've loved have fed on you
To help them grow until their fruit
Was ripe but thought not to be wasted
Went to other hands to see how they tasted
What a loss what a shame
You know the autumn is her name
She’s wearing all those pretty clothes
But she knows
How to take them off

Take Control

turn it round back again hand in hand
i recoil
there are forces out of my control
talk it down hold it down hands wash hands
but i can still recall
there are forces out of our control
who can say when and what way you’ll go
take control
take control
take control
take control
take control
take control
stay don’t go
wield your will upon them
take control

void of compassion and cut from the same cloth as me
raised in the pit with a forked tongue and sharp teeth
how i wish i could
break the spell
silence the voice
when it comes
don’t trust your feelings
trust your choice
given in faith and taken as oath solemnly
i promise to love you as long as you never hurt me
but now i wish i could
break the spell
silence the voice
when it comes
don’t trust your feelings
trust your choice
drive in the hooks are tied round the room with strings
the slightest of tugs and i’m pulled right back into the scene of the crime
with every turn the feeling returns with a dreadful patient persistence
waiting behind any and every moment
it is blessing that feels like curse
and although it won’t be the last time it’s not the first

Words Fail

choosing between being happy and honest and which one is hopeless.
stretching the seams, of the garment of truth that we wear on our sleeves.
i know you girl. i know you.
pulling me back, like a slingshot I'm zooming but where am I moving,
I hold my attack till i'm fed and i'm rested then on to the next we will go.
i know you girl, i know you.
words words, through the night say i've been waitin to see you.
hours hours, where'd they go, cause i've been waitin to show you.

Forest of Mirrors
08:11
|
|||
i see them race towards us
pushing back the night
changing
faces
pull yourself out
passing vapor trails
pure thought
set adrift
looking
endlessly
passing vapor trails
pull yourself out
you're someone who sees
you're somewhere in the night
you and i
will never see the starlight again
unclaimed spaces between
forgotten dreams of you and i
how will the season repair themselves
in endless daylight
permalight
floating unseen
held inbetween
unclaimed spaces between you and i
you and i
how will the season repair themselves
in endless daylight
permalight
dressed in shadow
just how long can you hide
you can’t hide
sand and dust, nothing but sand and dust
because
no one sleeps here
slipping into
endless seasons
there is nothing left
i have nothing left to loose
i am ready
to change completely
though empty reason
oooh that's when i knew
wounded seasons
they will live again
in the forest of mirrors
i lost myself there
that's when i knew

Secret Truth
05:13
|
|||
i deny the sun up in the sky
its beautiful design
completely empty inside
your dreams you want so much to believe
forget all that you heard
take back every word
say something try and say anything
i know your secret truth
the past that follows you
say something try and say anything
i hold your secret truth
it means nothing to you
i deny the sun up in the sky
its beautiful design
completely empty inside
sour dreams i know something of these things
forget all that you heard
take back every word

Too Sweet
06:33
|
|||
a cold wind blows long and low thru the hollow
the places you go but you no longer know
the butterflies sting a constant reminder to us
of what will never be and what never really was
your love made me a legend in my own time
now i wander your drunken streets auditioning new wives
there's no one left that i know in the old haunts kicking around
no one fool enough to die alone in this dead end town
too sweet to let go
too much to hold on to
too sweet to let go
too late to ever be true
it’s too sweet don’t let go
there’s no way to hold on to you

Aimless
07:01
|
|||
aimless we proceed on
aimlessly we proceed alone
all alone
i’ve waited here
for you to change
the days they pass without any recognition
stay with me
stay asleep
my aching head
still will be
filled with dreams
of you

Eyelids Like Anchors
03:48
|
|||
My eyelids are heavy and strong like anchors
Holding you still in the water
Wanting to be let up
Wanting to be let up
It’s times like this
Relics of what has expired
And he said baby you move like tornadoes
Taking in all that surrounds you
Spinning till your asleep
It’s times like this
Relics of what has expired
Relics of what has expired
Relics of what has expired
Relics of what has expired
My eyelids are heavy and strong like anchors
Holding you still in the water
Wanting to be let up
Wanting to be let up
And he said baby you move like tornadoes
Taking in all that surrounds you
Spinning till your asleep
Spinning till your asleep
Spinning till your asleep
It’s times like this
It’s times like this

I Could Have Loved You
04:06
|

hope in southern swears, the golden midnight air.
i could, i could have loved you.
hope in stubborn speech, when laughing makes me weak.
wait. wait. wait.
i could, i could have, i could have loved you.

Magnolia
04:52
|
|||
the moment was beautiful, it settled like dust on your skin.
the birds gave a warning, they said its early morning come in.
we stretched as we woke, our bodies were sore from our sins,
the magnolia smelled so sweet then, so sweet were we.
a white swollen flower, the minutes, the hours within,
was placed in a vase on the white kitchen countertop end.
our muscles had changed, their movements, their patterns in space,
I'll refigure a time and a place
with you, with you.

The Ascent of Everest Nashville, Tennessee
the ascent of everest is metaphor for ambitious goals. partly the synthesis of genre and fusion of musical traditions but also to articulate abstract emotional places and states of being. some will be quick to pick out bits that could be called post rock metal doom electronic shoegaze neoclassical etc. but shy from saying what the ultimate result is: this is about the journey into the unknown. ... more
