Marooned 06:35
Everyday We stay here We only know The undertow For a million days We'll stay here And watch our strange flower Grow an inch In the dark Until we meet out there In midair We are on Our way Aurora, sing We are on Our way And I'm ready more each day To meet out there In midair Everyday We stay here We lie down We get up We remember We forget We're still young

Sudden Moves 04:45
With all the brass of the new kid With all the help I can get With an eye on the upshot With a hand on my neck I am soundly defeated I am routed, I am fled But maybe in five years Maybe in ten With all the heft of a head wound I'll come to I'll tune to you Still bruised from the dream Surfacing! I try to catch hold of The people I've been I caught it on high speed You can't deny me This time Woke up Here again In another world Simple words protect you from fire Don't move You'll lose yourself in the swoon Everything you fear and admire All at once Can I hold this for you Can I feel what you do? I caught it on high speed To remind me Woke up Here again Gut-stuck Pin-pricked Ugly Woke up out of phase And we're angles apart A line in the dark Way out of frame In another world These simple words Would save us from fire Don't move You lose yourself In the gloom

Holy Water 05:17
Holy water Come to rest inside me I'm miles away I'm right on top of it I'm opening, unlocking Like a bloom in the light Lucky number came up again I am nearly certain I saw you in the aisle I believe in you I really, really do Ten, eleven Call action You're in the picture now I see you coy and clean And scrubbed new What can I do? When you're easygoing Overflowing Look away now I've got all I need On my machine Are you out of ideas Simply believe In each small, small victory Lucky number I gave myself away I felt the name just slip off my tongue It was always you Holy water come now to rest beside me I am miles away I am easygoing I am overflowing

Virgo 06:05
In August air I've got a good one for you One line's longer than the other A lifeline's A punchline You know that I am sure It comes back swimming to me Where the water's the clearest Caught it Released it It happens every time In August air I've got a good one for you Stop me if you've heard this one This time you were right To carry me inside Where dead lights come to life In any colour you want In any shade that you like Now you've got a face fit for love The siren It came down while I slept With outstretched fingertips It was upon me So serious Saw it blazing across the double line And all my past and future lives Passed before me And we're safe For now But that's far from where you are Do you believe In our constant spin I might find you again In clothes I left you Do you recall In our former lives When our meeting eyes Shone in every colour I was pulled apart In an endless arc And it felt just like Sleep And do you believe After fifteen years That I'm here At your door Surprise Surprise I'm back!

Dyad 03:13
Anna I warned you When I come next I won't recognize you

Blue Light 04:01
In blue light At high speed In the slipstream Of our new century Bring me down light In these shallow pools I recognize Our fated flight Bring me down light In daylight At present Where you came To rest On the pavement And now I know We'll get what we deserve By sun up A current to follow Don't burn up Lean into your Deepest dive
