Cover me in blankets of newborn daylight
Take the veil of distance away
Hold me in the tangle of your arms, fading away, so let us make
Imaginary cities where wounds can't forget their own names
But are fine with dying
Just a change of state
Rewrite stories of origin, colour
Colour palette of destinations, dreams of new kingdoms
There you will fly away
Hold me in the tangle of your arms, fading away, so let us make
Imaginary cities where wounds can't forget their own names
But are fine with dying
Just a change of state
Here I will stay
Stay, stay, stay
Let soar your wings now
Let your song sing now
Retrace scattered steps
Unknowing we forget
Can't we just stay?

It's never more than just a wake up
It's never more than just a waste of time
It's never more than just a break up
Letting a let down last too long
Too long to wait to watch it all go
To endless skies where nothing can grow
It's never more than just a wake up
it's never more than just a waste of time
It's never more than just a break up
Letting a let down last too long
Can't help but feel thieved as life repeatedly says "just let go"
Reveal your no face, the sun illuminates it
Can't let go
Send it far away, into empty space
Gardens we have always grown on lies
Falling apart as we watch the light die
It's never more than just a wake up
It's never more than just a waste of time
It's never more than just a break up
Letting a let down last too long
When do I cease to be human?
Send it far away, into empty space
Gardens we always grown on lies
Falling as the light dies
Can't you, can't you see?
I'm all that's left of me.
I'm all that's left of me.

Build your myths
Reverence of self deception
Birth after re-birth
But still,
Sickness, it keeps turning away
But for today,
Hunger for it's poison
It's poison
I don't wanna break apart your life
Mutate, unstitch into the falling pieces
Love has gone and sharpened our knives
Can we evade these false defences?
WHY WON'T THESE ROTTEN WALLS FALL DOWN?
I don't want to bury you in time
Drowning in the ether of noise
Tried to tell
Tell the truth but it keeps breaking
Tried to tell
Tell the truth but it keeps breaking
Change the names of everything
Raise up your hands
Fake your surrender
Paint the portraits you can't frame
Hang them on the walls
Make your surrender
Writing these melodies, insanity
You won't even look at me
Nor will I move forth in silence
We do it all alone
You can't, I won't, there can't be
Nothing until everything
Everything has happened.
We have stripped it away
And now there's nothing left
Can't we just see?
It was us who clipped our wings
We could have stayed
I don't wanna break apart your life
Mutate, unstitch into the falling pieces
Love has gone and sharpened our knives
Can we evade these false defences?
LET US BRING THESE ROTTEN WALLS ALL DOWN
Is that too much to ask?

Watching the changes
in a mirror universe
where love can suffocate
colour in absence
Please don't wait, I will be right there
Enslaved by the constant emancipation
How much can I keep?
So reach out,
Ripping off wings from the beginning
Nobody will need them here
How can I leave trails
when all follows?
Let it die
Take no prisoners
Thank you Time, for letting me forget that it's over
Thank you Time, for letting me remember it's all right
Thank you Time, for letting me forget that it's over
Thank you Time, for letting me remember it's all right here
It's all right here in front of you.
Now I sit at the bottom of this river
and I thank you Time for taking me.

Hollow, ever waiting
Opaque voice of patterns
gleaming from the light of
Far suns all long dead.
Can I let go of this false God who burns out my eyes?
Love is screaming inside of me
A cauldron, the echo chamber of self
This is not the first time I've turned it into a weapon, love
Growing things can't know
They're the perfect lies as they are fed sunlight
Bleeding things can't know
They are free as they always wash their feet of footprints,
So human
We are
Hollow, ever waiting
Opaque voice of patterns
gleaming from the light of
Far suns all long dead
Can I let go of this false God who burns out my eyes?
Love is screaming inside of me (scream into you)
A dark that can only be found in the aftermath
of something so true
Wake spring in Death's hands
to rise from grey
Look into my eyes and you'll see
Your young self dreaming of just you
Hush dear, let it all go
We are
All of breath
Hollow, ever waiting
Opaque voice of patterns
gleaming from the light of
Far suns all long dead.
Can I let go of this false God who burns out my eyes?

Please just let this light die,
Die
Blindfolds brighten, laws they lie
In the womb you create
The quill falls, eviscerates
These absolutes weigh on me
Can we start again?
Feel you leaving and quickly
Follow beyond the shadows
Can we fall asleep?
Live the seasons in your arms
Lilith, your heart goes silent
With distance
Where have you gone?
Please just let this light die,
Die
Blindfolds brighten, laws they lie
In the womb you create
The quill falls, eviscerates
These absolutes weigh on me
Mutations and inversions of love
Rushing overhead at speeds of death
Twist the serpent into your form
Lullabies in which we all are born
Lull us to sleep
Fevered dream, the faceless god-rise
Please just let this light die,
Die
Blindfolds brighten, laws they lie
In the womb you create
The quill falls, eviscerates
These absolutes weigh on me
Gone

In the Marrow

In the marrow of this pulse
are tiny forevers
Always they die,
Every breath and sign of life
Substance of sight,
Waking up,
Realize it can't ever be more
than the space in between us
In the marrow of this pulse
are tiny forevers
Always they die,
Every breath and sign of life
We pass through
We are reborn
I've been here before
Every morning I wake up,
Realize I can't ever be more
than the space in between us

Go slow
Feel it move all past
Behind as it crumbles
A new home is in the distance, taste it out of reach
Desire consumes memory, what once was
Moving through the silence, little pieces of madness
Sleeping until they must do it all alone
Go slow
Think what you want to
Nothing ever ends
Trading dues with things more desolate
Don't look back
Say what you want to
Nothing ever ends
Just trading dues with things more desolate
Say what you want to
Nothing ever ends
Moving through the silence, little pieces of madness
Sleeping until they must do it all alone
Give in to mass
And so will grow identical pieces of memoir holes
Doomed to live mirror images of pain escaped
But always too late
Welcome home, welcome to the cycle

Fossil eyes finding
Ancient sites forming
Why won't these rotten walls fall?
Is this all that's left?
Dismembered
Search for the graves
Marked with our own common names
Always empty
Turn and forget
What is this familiar burial?
Memories are traces of birds in heaven
A place we always have been forever
Ruins we cannot reach, not ever
Reasons unknown to me
Forever
Search for the grave
Marked with our own common names
Always empty
Turn and forget
Search for the graves
Marked with our own common names
Marked with our names
Trace forever

Can you hear the cracking of the bones?
Changing, whispering
Something is wrong to you
What are we doing, what are we doing now?
Wishing away these dreams?
What are we doing, what are we doing now?
If we just sing "it will be okay"
Until our last breath is taken by waves
In the end, in the end is nigh
Fall asleep, be overgrown in our dreams
What are we doing, what are we doing now?
Wishing away these dreams?
What are we doing, what are we doing now?
What are we doing, what are we doing now?
Still I cannot see
What are we doing, what are we doing now?
Plant the seed, the center of imaginary cities
And watch it grow in place of the memories
Let you go, watch you fall
Mirror echoes from afar
From afar
Let you go, we should have known
Mirror echoes from afar
From afar
