The Southern Most Plain

From the southern most plain
I hear your voice calling, calling
Calling me north, calling with the wind
Calling, calling
I ain’t left this town in ten long years
Ain’t left the sand and salt, the shadows
Run wild like deer, through the sand and salt
I buried my heart for you
Turned out the lights for you
Howling back at the northern wind

Hot Light
03:31

|

You’ve gone now
You’ve left behind
That wild, that sweet
Stretch of hot light
Don’t it get dark now?
Bend me towards the earth
Hold this body and climb
Down down down
Down down down
Don’t it get dark now?

Step Into The Dark

This world is angry now
Says there's no heaven, no hell
Singing go on, step into the dark
Singing oh Lord, don't you let me down

Candle Heart

I’ve spent some time down in that cold ravine
Trying to make sense of everything
I used to rage like a storm
Casual and blind, knocking on anyone’s door
Trying to rest my head, stretch my bones
Unpack myself, make myself at home
I’d build a nest from my thistle thin hair
Cawed at anyone that would love me, that would care
Until one day I was in that ravine, all alone
Trying to make sense of when everything
Went wrong
This candle heart burns like the stars then fades away in the morning

Blade of light,
Reflecting
Resonating
I am
A feather
Attuning
Levitating
Over ridges of spine and bone
Water flowing
Out the mouths of skulls
I am
A lotus
In a pool of blue and green
Levitating
The humming sword
A burial sung
In the house of flowers and thorn
I am
A breath
A body
Levitating

Reflections

Put my headphones on
Take a seat on the train
Close my eyes
Try and quiet my brain
How many years have passed
Along this cityscape
We’re forgotten streets,
Unmarked graves
Oh it’s alright, it’s okay
That’s what we say
Oh it’s okay
Memories are not tangible things
If I close my eyes
They can be what I want them to be
Though I’ve studied your face
I’ve already loved you
I’ve studied this place
And now I want to go home
Oh it’s alright, it’s okay
That’s what we say
Oh it’s okay

The Phylliidae Forest
04:52
|
|

At dawn we are going
Across the river bed
Where bird songs are droning
In dissonance
The forest of speaking
Usurpers, go away, go away
The leaves are watching, they’re breathing,
Swaying without wind
Sun rises
Out from grey fog
Orange pillars collapsing
Singing on with the day
