languid 05:13
lyrics

Said that it would come With time Said that it would feel So fine Now it's all broken and Emptied of its own weight Hardness drives itself to a fall Slips past the quay Solved by a crawl Poking and prodding the possible days to come Waiting for things to erupt from the static hum Listening stiffly for isolation Dreaming. Dreaming. Said that it would lift Me up Said that I would sip A silvered cup But now it's all broken and Emptied of its own weight Remarkable in its shape Unmarked and quivering cold with the day Drifting by obstacles in their own way A languorous wavering beast Complicit now in its pace Tortured by tongues with nothing to say Halting and starting and mired by clay A languorous wavering beast Fractured out into fate Plastic horizon beneath a dull gray Trudging waist deep from out frozen bay A languorous wavering beast

hast thou 03:46

Closer to town with the headlamp low Face the moon and wear its glow over light snow White fists grip at the rubber wheel Ice in the way and a past at my heel Who goes there? Giving it all up to roam What is home? How many roads have I known? Breaking out of the bank Turning to stars at the sight of the sky Carried away from the wall Stitching gaze of the compound eye Smile in stone Sly alone Hours I used unknown Drifting out for the way Pushing past all the things unsaid Looking forward for life Throat of blood and a heart of lead Thinking of harmony's time Days in summer spent soaking in heat Carrying me through the chill Hands up hushing tall heads of wheat Breathe deep Sweetly light Hope to find some home Sleep my sweet Lifted so Give in full and Let it go Farther from town with the headlamp high Turn into air and drift for the sky Somebody calls but they're saying a name Forgot who we are and forgot why we came Who could have known? Who could have gone for so long in the snow? What is home? How many roads will I know?

I got snow 06:13

Piled up in signs makes you pretty slight All these other lines narrow straight to night I help it all~ relate to this device Sorrow in softness~ up all quaint and nice Come on kind and light with quarrels up my sleeve Heavy with the glow and light with weave I followed you home By your footprints I wanted the warmth I wanted the warmth I got the snow I got the snow Driven to delight in wafer ticks of time Blame it on the wind when it's a fault of mine I help it all~ relate to this device Sorrow in softness~ up all quaint and nice Pieces stacked in glue to hold that broken scene Heavy with the woe and light with gleam Follow the footprints

hold tight and close your eyes 04:23
lyrics

A quarter floored and begging for more A marginal score of a part of four The lore is true: We had a vision for you But pore by pore you fell through Spiraling up through a crack in the crust Missed what we don't, Broke what we must Hollow for following fortune's disguise Nettles behind the teeth and lust in the eyes A warmer day than we prayed for Snatched by vines Wrapped in time Heavy with weights you had claimed yours Under peaks Heaven speaks Pressing up like a mountain in dust Kissed what we won't, tucked what we'd lust Sorrows tomorrow to crack up our lies Roses behind the teeth and love in the eyes Cry for us true: We had a mission for you But more and more you fell through Hold tight and close your eyes

cold inside 05:10
lyrics

Comfort in time and in copious mind Come for me with climbing wires combined I was in fall and then I fell from it all Come for me with widened eyes Breaking out of law I long to go Scraping off the thaw I long to go All of this time that I had made it inclined Come for me with wild scrying signs Behind the disguise there is another to find Come for me with widened eyes Take another step, bold I took it in stride Bundled up against cold I kept my cold inside Part of the white becoming part of my sight Come for me with ivory refined I'd opened to night but then it came in too bright Come for me with widened eyes Breaking out of law I long to go Scraping off the thaw I long to go I kept my cold inside (repeat)

all nice and nothing 04:02
lyrics

Taking a drive, letting the wheels slide How to cause a climb or effect a final line Lately I've come unfocused, filtered through a fisheye But as we collide, the clearer it comes to a sign My home is open wide Belly-up with my neck to the light Now I come up crying Too proud of old Saturday nights In my cold arms there's birds alive In my warm art there's worse to drive Now I've been timing out loose Tracking mud through this self abuse All nice and nothing falls Wasting my time, letting the wheels slide How to change a clime or affect as alkaline Lately I've been in motion, muxing through a mire But as we retire, the wire it winds to a sign All nice and nothing

my long fate 04:45
lyrics

One crows the waiting Two comes to shame Flickers and fading All flake falls to plane Glisten is swirling Compact to the ground With winds to envelope A crest covered sound A moment comes amid footprints Crackles of ice through the dust I'm speaking but never quite knowing A body commited to rust Falling away at the break With catches that sever awry Faintly it's felt through the wake With fingers to fold in goodbye Face like gold but more longing to stay Watch it melt away Following through on a wandering line Building up against cohorts of crimes Woke in weather that heathens belied Took survival with works that all called from inside The chains of unsavory take their turns at a wasting away The blame withers up on the belfry before there is tolling to pay Once crows the waiting Twice comes to shame Arrive in a coffin too light to flame First is the weather The second is thaw Give up sensation and fall to the saw Upon the glass Glittering long with expanse

plain as any black 06:11

Heft the magnifier Lift it to the cloud Break the metal ring that Fastens to the shroud Let the living pass and Filter through the lens Spike the center spoke through Set to spin again Fire set through with white Ice cold through to bone Slack-attracted grasping Slithers home to home Masters of the martyrs Symbol of the crash If it ever lasts It will never be back The way they meant it to be We'll all come home to see Hung on terrible trials Hunger satisfied Sum of every mile Something in it died Wide open to trace Comfort out on a lure Formless is the face Passive and sure Round and round the beast Who'd say the least? Raise the stolen season Dripping from the fog Complication's measure Toothy with the cog Any road to head off Stake no measured pace Match a dull vibration's Part in every space Phase matched through with sine Slice it mu with time Feel can always find Ex- -pressions in the grime Lifted through the lens as Plain as any black If it ever lasts It will never be back
