Century 03:28
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
2.
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
3.
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
4.
Path 03:28
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
5.
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
6.
who am I to love mother of the moon euphoria in august silence in the room
7.
Up 2 Me 04:01
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
8.
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
9.
Cloud Cover 03:17
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
10.
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
