the first step into a quiet house
tepid movement cross the room
why did you leave here for so long
and not return?
you feel at home here
you feel at home
all of this was meant to be yours
century, lily and me
conscious of the way that it was
end at the beginning
quick quick, let it go
do you recognize yourself in this moment?
are you what you one day you said you would be?
safety used to walk in front of me
now she’s at the door won’t let you in so readily
used to be wide-eyed
now I am my own
all of this was meant to be yours
century, lily and me
conscious of the way that it was
end at the beginning

Eyes Like Babylon

close the door
lock me in this room
a window to face the view
you say nobody cares about you
safe up here
alone in the way that you were
watching the turn of the earth
to take away all of the hurt
eyes like babylon
with eyes like babylon
you see right through
I want to be yours without consequence
letting my body sink in
I’m leaving my body
hope to see you before I go
swimming in the black sea
surrounded by the afterglow

who are you to tell
when nobody knows
nobody knows
right you were to stay my love
take my love
lead me on again
lead me on again
in the dark
right side of the heart
left when you went away
left out in the dark
right you were to stay
|

you’re looking down
I’m reaching out
if only I could see it like you do
aerial view
from me to you
separate the memory from the truth
now that I can look back
lost by the way
you didn’t take your time with me
now that I can look back
come face to face
with who you said I’d never be
(only underneath)
and now I am remembering
as if I had the wherewithal
in the midst of something new
what was lost it’s up to you
thought I would live
thought I would breathe you new
breathe you new

Walls Surrounding Water
02:37
|

|
I remember walking with you
following no path
walls surrounding water
we’ve become one another
following you into the blue
leave it to you
leave it to you
kindred spirit, in the mirror
leave it to you
leave it to you

Euphoria in August

who am I to love
mother of the moon
euphoria in august
silence in the room

leaving it up to me
calling it like it was
looking at it like it is
as if you were never there
tell me do you like it the way it is?
the way it is

House/Home
04:56
|
|||
|
the difference between
house and home
child of stone
are you a piece of a whole?
monotone notes
glide over like a windfall
in the middle of a loophole
offer control
offer control
let the world know
let the world know

Cloud Cover

follow me around
like an avalanche
eager to please
you run and return
how could you forget that we were one at one time?
everything dies
golden like the shore of a fever dream
anchor in the foreign sea
all this time alone, it has taught me one thing
how to feel alive
cloud cover over everything
I don’t want to know anyone anymore

Elegy Revisited

part time
with your hand
the architect of experience
looking at the world
as if the sun
never rose
think again
of all of the places that you’ve been
and what they mean
then you’ll see
will you be there?
waiting around the bend
round and round again
part of me
wants you to be with me
with me among the flowers
as the light hits your eyes
when all is said and done
when I have come around
round and round and round
I’ll lift you up
follow through
follow you
follow you
