I was sleeping, dreaming You were screaming, bleeding I was held and hailed You were held, inhaled You're still breathing
2.
Calm Fixes 05:00
We've come for the world that we've been taken from We've been after it for so long Repeat in time

Heavy was the thought to confide in them like brothers Needless to say, your weakness is obvious to others
4.
Water Wheel 04:52
Empty basin swell, bring them to the well Three of water, two of rice will keep your village nice Stormcloud shade has rolled, trust the paper windows'll hold Trace your veins with ink and clay, see the rivers running away Caught the current strong, rumble giant stills with a song Water wheel won't ever quit, give your body over to it My eyes are open, lifeblood runs fast Mixed with the water, feel clean at last Ring lips fall under, lungs flush of air, Village a mile, carry me there

Are you finding all your answers? Tell me Are you here? Can you see from where your at All the men on the hill staring back? If you kill me, I'd understand, you'd do no wrong Because dying is oh so lonely, you'll be the one who knows Can you shatter your inertia, apathy? Are you well? Can you stand? Can you breathe? Listen here, this is not what we need God does not seem to hear us, nor to respond Obeying words of the silent is more trouble than its worth No one's watching so stand and be strong No one's watching, can you hear me? Did you lose all of your body to coldheart frostbite? Are we kind, are we strong, are we wise? Have we lived through this life a thousand times? Who here knows a witness, seen miracles? Believers come by the boatload when death will reward your birth Are you keeping above the surface or drowning? Is it true after all that we're no use May as well, end the search for what to do We lead lives where we're all thinking Death makes no sense, but living is far too painful Oh well... Your keeper isn't home, you're on your own Cower in the corner until you're dry, but you're not my kind to keep You leave them, they'll ask you why, they'll ask you why But you're too scared to hear their prayers from the sky, you're not my kind to keep You're not dead, are you? You look well to me You're not the god I thought that you were, you're already dead to me You're not real, are you? You've been lying to me If you find time, please come again, we'll be waiting here for you

Asleep with the noise, the kids look dead under their bedsheets Dreaming out this asheap, brother you can have your body back when you get older Shoot all the boys, those wretched dogs, with instinct All for all the images that come for us in fever dreams Do you own these woods? I know this ends, but how? I believe it's now Walk through fields of breath, kick up dust in shapes of death To the heads weaving worlds, no one else will remember your memories, so rest at ease All the roads go north, and they go far but I see farther Oxygen doesn't last, and death is for the survivors to contemplate, and now we wait Choke your words, strangled airpipes, please stay calm, you'll be okay Do Satanists read upside down? Soap for Socratic guttermouth Understand that your bones will turn to sand, dust in the wind Bats and birds sang songs of hell, at least as far as god can tell I saw their flairs, you know Did you see the ghost I'd spoken to over tea, he came back to see Have your doubts but ask it free, what kind of animal were we? Are you scared of me? If I were you, I'd certainly be Where did everyone go? Light a candle to examine all this dark, it's all we are Worry not for the end, the slowest way to die is by living Time to cremate the earth and scatter all the ashes through the whole of space, it's rightful place
7.
Together we make such a broken body, And I have found nothing better for the body than silence May I say, you're so loud for a boy who's keeping quiet? I'm not trying to die, I'm just waiting for death to come get me Such tiny little wheels moving forward, if you leave, don't be long, Little girl, now is no time to be sleeping Light through the cracks in the walls, showing signs of a place That you will never see again Laugh for me, laugh for me, and think of when we're reborn Somewhere less obsessed with fire and smoke The change is hurried, and for the rest of time, they are deathless, Please don't get distracted, you notice every flower in the desert She's half dead and he's no solider They forfeit to the atmosphere And they'll see their shells from up above them Breathe, breathe Man cannot prove that he is not a demon Pleasure is nothing but the pause between pains, in hunger and sickness; But still, I can only die when the world ends Shaken and scared of the sound of their own breath They're making symbols with their hands But still no one knew what they were saying, And for now, they seek asylum in your solace She's half dead and he's no solider They forfeit to the atmosphere And they'll see their shells from up above them Breathe, breathe

Away 07:41
Remember the day when we all gathered on the hill to watch them come And everyone was there looking across the water, Reflecting shades of their shapes Clouds that house the sun were slowly building And stones in the grasses cut our feet, but it's fine Up they go and down again, I see them But it's so hard to tell from so far away
