We Were Carried
03:17

Do you think that we knew each other when we were a former type ancient mighty rulers with kingdoms
Do you think that we knew each other when we were a former type ancient mighty rulers with kingdoms
separated by the unsailed bodies of the open seas
After we were conquered we turned back into the dust that settles underneath old sunsets and as we were carried by the winds
that blew us where the East meets the West
We were no longer separated by unsailed bodies of the open seas we settled across open fields as we lay still under sunsets
and we grew into wild violets
We were carried where the East and West meet underneath the sunsets we grew into wild violets we were carried underneath the sunsets underneath the sunsets we grew into wild violets

Fascinate
02:42
|
|||
If the warning wasn’t clear sorry my dear for
starting to see potential when I could never make it any better
I take what I can get then barely offer myself
Why does it fascinate my eyes when you are writhing from surprise
I’m compelled by motives that collide
Over all I’d say I’m not the one to blame for this diversion
opened ended aftermath is lurking at my back
If the warning wasn’t clear sorry my dear for
starting to see potential when I could never make it better

Animal Instincts
03:14
|
|||
We are savage animals you are my prey
You would survive the hunt only if I make
burning inside, it sets our instincts on fire
I know you feel it too it’s a combination of these sensations
We are savage animals you are my prey
you would survive the hunt only if I make
the assumption that you were already falling fast
I know you wouldn’t have the chance to pick yourself up
run as fast as your legs can carry you
lead me to the rolling river to the water
then we drink to put out the eternal fires
these instincts have no reasoning
we are animals desire isn’t intuition
we don’t decide when the thirst takes over
lead me to the water along that rolling river
run as fast as your legs can carry you
lead me to the rolling river to the water
then we drink to put out the eternal fires
these instincts have no reasoning
we are animals desire isn’t intuition
we don’t decide when the thirst takes over
lead me to the water along that rolling river
We are savage animals you are my prey
you would survive the hunt only if I make
the assumption that you were already falling fast
I know you wouldn’t have the chance to pick yourself up
the chance to pick yourself up

Willow
04:45
|
|||
Oh sturdy willow will you lend your wisdom
the discipline on how you’ve existed
through persistent seasons turning timid breezes
to turbulent surges that can thicken all my senses my mood
Please teach me willow how you cradle gently
the ornaments arranged down your rooted body
I am meek and stagger like a feather wavering
and I can merely grasp these rigid things they preach inside our heads
then it’s finally quiet when I need him
and I sway like your vines and branches
hovered over in a weeping fashion
yellow lovely leaves that filter in his breeze
I worry willow now that your branches are twisted
from nature’s fury enduring the tolls that change us
there are things we can’t control and it makes us so worried
I hear them preaching but it does not console
Yellow lovely leaves that filter in his breeze
a mellow trance as they sweep

I've Been Here Before
03:09
|
|||
I’ve been here before watched those faces adore
every pretty thing that they show them
is not good enough to just hold them
In their fancy machines they feel power to keep
on driving to feel satisfaction from all of their possessions
I’ve been here before oh I’ve been
watching all of their faces light up
so bright they’re lit with expectation
watch them want more
I’ve been here before
I’ve been here
I've been here before, oh I’ve been
watching all of their faces light up
so bright they’re lit with expectation
watch them want more
I’ve been here before
They walk into rooms expecting to be noticed as soon
as the eyes of many look them over
and they size up their stare to feel better
I’ve been here before oh I’ve been
watching all of their faces light up
so bright they’re lit with expectation
watch them want more
I’ve been here before
I've been here before

Subconscious Gestures
03:41
|
|||
Look into my eyes to hear what I’m saying
these simple connections fade
we lost the connection but I thought it was going well
We lost the connection but I thought it was going well
Look into my eyes to hear what I’m saying
these simple connections fade
we lost the connection but I thought it was going well
we lost the connection but I thought it was going well
Why do we break our interactions
these disconnections are making me numb
yesterday we felt a bond so strong but not today
we lost the connection but I thought it was going well
we lost the connection but I thought it was going well
but not today
This can go anywhere you want
the control is in your will to want it
don’t fight it let it happen
don’t you feel new
This can go anywhere you want
the control is in your will to want it
don't fight it let it happen
don’t you feel new

Tell Me Your Visions
03:17
|
|||
Tell me your visions you can only see
Are these entities confused like ourselves
when you feel their chill you cannot make them go away
they stay, they stay
they stay
, they stay
when it’s night you close your eyes
and visions show you premonitions
do they speak to you and do you speak back
when you feel their chill you cannot make them go away
when you feel their chill you cannot make them go away
they stay
, they stay, when it’s night you close your eyes
and visions show you premonitions
do they speak to you and do you speak back
do you speak back, do you speak back

Skeletons
02:50
|
|||
These skeletons,
they drape loose ends
flesh and organs grow thirsty from their dark home
cages that hold compressing lungs
wrapped up in curling shells
where spines fold when there’s no air
lungs they burn
thirsty from their dark home
curled up inside cages flesh and organs
skeletons draping loose ends
thirsty from their dark home

Be a Stranger
02:22
|
|||
You could leave it behind
pack your bags and move to the city
I heard you talk about the places you’d like to see
why don’t you go now, why don’t you go now
why don’t you go now, why don’t you go now
I heard you talk about the places you’d like to see
What is there to be afraid of when you are the stranger
don’t be afraid of them, the strangers will let you in
don’t be afraid to be a stranger, don’t be afraid to be a stranger
don’t be afraid to be a stranger, don’t be afraid to be a stranger
You could leave it behind and pack your bags and leave it behind
and see the places you talk about seeing
pack your bags and move to the city
You could leave it behind and pack your bags and leave it behind
and see the places you talk about seeing
pack your bags and move to the city
why don’t you go now, why don’t you go now
why don’t you go now, why don’t you go now

They Say
03:07
|
|||
Underneath one steeple they were gathered in those filed rows
was everybody there for saying their prayers
photographs they tell you what is only seen from plain view
but what is really behind those images
are they really happy like they’ve always said
but what is really behind those images
the illusions make what they always say
they will tell you again what they always say
they will tell you again what they always say
are they really happy like they’ve always said
are they really happy like they’ve always said
but what is really behind those images
the illusions make what they always say
they will tell you again what they always say
the illusions make what they always say
they will tell you again what they always say
