I knew dancers By the land, to the sea Shapeshifter I love you, I love you They`ll never know you Like I do, like I do Eyes worn out wide In wonder, in wonder We are dreamers Of dreams, of dreams They want you Like the world, like the world And I want you By the land, to the sea

Up there, chasers and boughs And Florence sleeps aloud While some have peace of mind While some have peace of mind Faster, like sister Gather some happy lives Travel by madness Travel by madness Once in a while I pity the loveless one She floats and it's alive She floats and it's alive Up there, chasers and boughs Sleepers dream their hearts out Faster, like it is gone People of the attic sun

Rahile Sparks hugs the blue Rahile I might be you When I look up At paintings of the war I love it like you I love it like you Sharp shooting across the street Better get off your feet Sleepless eyes run fast Away like guilty times Away like guilty times Rahile Won't you come on out now Let's be bothered By the light Swallow time and Spit it out Let's go out and Bother the night
5.
Let's get lost, surrender to a deep time Let's get lost, surrender to a deep time All that is red is us All that is red is us Build us tall, into that swollen night Build us tall, into that swollen night All that is red is us All that is red is us I saw it move Mindless and slow I saw it move We saw the same thing over the garden wall We saw the same thing over the garden wall All that is red is us All that is red is us I saw it move Mindless and slow I saw it move I saw it move

we look for the sun in every direction how the light bends around us, a tide some blooming tune from the other side some blooming tune from the other side seems like you figured it out I felt the grip of an honest hand I preach that blood pines for hearts I preach that blood pines for hearts don't look up from your silly stone you'd rather sleep, you'd rather be alone brighten your day, love somewhere in the dream it'll feel alright

No grace in the haim Why crawl there at all Joy is now My swimming sun Let me show you light Have speed and flight Let`s be undone My fire, my swimming sun Oh love, albeit for now Oh love, albeit for now Oh love, albeit for now Oh love, albeit for now No grace in the haim Why crawl there at all Joy is now My swimming sun Let me show you light Have speed and flight Let`s be undone My fire, my swimming sun Oh love, albeit for now Oh love, albeit for now Oh love, albeit for now Oh love, albeit for now

We kill the heart, we go lightly To the mountain, to the hill Feet are fast, above the sun Under my fathers eyes We kill the mind, we go unchained You show me how, my alien dove I saw people, in the shape of rats Tower songs, keeps them all awake We dive, where they cant swim Bite it, like young time my pilot I find you, in the bright play Under cool, sudden speed I dream of you, splendor-like We fell in love, like clockwork You know me well, better than I can We might be human after all And too, my hand makes unwanted waves Water cracks, palms gather we go Young men and fathers, will carry us over They don't know why, and they never will Daughters will dream of us, frightened by our ways Mothers will hate us, more than love can create You wish it was different, as do I When blue is the rhythm, and we are the time I can't get no sleep, I can't get no rest I'd walk through time, to get them back Everyone I've loved, maybe even you They are gone, with bite marks on the hill I grew up so far from home I wish I never was born I grew up so far from home I wish I never was born
10.
Those are lights Through danger way All by rivers All by hand All by hand Those are lights Through danger way All in color All in chain All in chain Around the path I saw you again Dancer and chaser In time and again In time and again
11.
Arla has seen every face of the city She's drawn everything that's died with a sigh So dark and still dreaming, like the tail of my creature She breathes a word of those who've left her behind In spite of her beauty, in awe of her mind On a sparkling day she brings hell and its time And how's the people, are they looking straight Are they living it out, with a mighty soft spread With a punching cane, and a drooling eye You`ve killed every demon I've had by my side How the sun is boiling, and built to be The sweet, burning and mangled star of your day

about

Some music cannot exist only in the sound itself. It wants to escape, break out, or maybe find shelter. If not for meaning, then maybe for comfort without the numbing of one's thoughts.

This album exist here and somewhere else, and its not a threat unless we want it to be.
