I lived in the fields with her. (free) 04:42
lyrics
download
We share the same dream, we don't share the same bed though. Each day I'm alone I wonder what's running through her head. I've said - I've given my word to her. She can't commit, but she gives me soft words from soft lips. She said "in a month" and I said "we'll run down that hill when we get there". What about the times I'm alone? And the fact that you were gone? I was out-dated like the world around us. I kept my legs bound, with fickle feet that keep on the ground everyday (day, day, day). Black hair, thistles. Soft lips make my toes cold. And a shadow of the world exists behind the light - I can't tell. The light that can turn.

all the wrong ways. (free) 03:26

Deep in the westward I was under a microscope, and I saw the light peeking over my grave. Smallest of features - and a frown, and a sigh - and I collate these feelings of emotionality. You called your mother and I said "I'm affright!" because she has the light of the Sun in her veins. I yelled at my father and I called him a "piece of bark", 'cause I knew that's how I felt about me. That's how I felt about me. Theres no frost in my bones. theres no frost in the climate that I grew up in. The days are long and the nights are short - and I fed the moon with my lonely thoughts. You stay with me even though I am a dirty mountain man in all the wrong ways.

shaky hands. (free) 02:39
lyrics
download
He stared up at the trees as if they understood exactly what he was going through. There was a complex conversation consisting only of eyes, eyes, eyes. Eyes upward. Eyes downward. Eyes gazing through a cheeky smile & forcing a mutual 'melancholy' through the hole in the my cheek. This is how I know he understands; That on days that I'm "too loud" i wish to be listened. And on days that I'm "flighty" I wish to be lulled. On days that I'm "quiet" I'm doing okay. It's the silence that adjourns which I understand more than any melting pot disenchanted engagement of the human mouth-piece.

this time last year. (free) 02:56
lyrics

The depth between my feet, my toes are in arrears to the cold winter air. And I remember what it feels like to lie on my back in the spring time. There's no need to turn it around - I brought this (solemn) secondary colour as I recall. And the air would fill my lungs. and i spoke the words from my thoughts. but those days are gone. but those days are gone. but those days are gone. And those days gone. And the days are gone.
