Track Name: Hamilton
I am a tree
Among many others
Sitting under canopies of limbs
We watch the elders
We watch the elders
I am a tree
Among many others
Overnight they wither
The end comes years later

When a child sits on a spiral grave
I wish upon fixed eyes so I can see the dirt
And only the dirt, in which my feet we buried
And only the dirt, in which my kin we merry.

The saw is close
But it has been for years
The pain doesn't scare me
Instead the wait does
Track Name: Easter Island
There is debris on the wall
And most certainly in the sky

But we cannot
Keep the lids closed
On the young

So it is best to sleep
Through the night
And the storm
When we wake
In the morning

To find the bare roots
Torn from the grass
Still bedewed

From the translucent grains
That will soak
Into the ground
Track Name: From Blue to Black
A melting sheet of mercury
From blue to grey
We watch, we watch
The sun and I
Where could they be
Wings and bread
A clear bed of air
We watch
From blue to black
We admire, we admire
The sea and I

Oh, my crew is dead

Their heavy souls
On a descent
To the cold
In the deep of the sea

Who will claim my body
I wonder,
The air or the sea
Track Name: Dover
They have taken me
And stripped my passion
To the woods I go
To my northern solace
Track Name: The Cat on The Porch
The soothsayer said
That I would be dead
By twenty
And all of my friends would be gone
As well as my family

We parted by autumn
Beside a milky horizon
My eyes, my eyes looking down
On a peach, white sun

It's a beautiful dusk
It's full of lively time
Track Name: My Hunting Hat Burned
Fire, fire, this fire
My dirty jacket
Flushing all else out
Every life, every strife

Can you hear the notes
Being sung from the pavement

Glowing down below,
Just beneath me
Frames torn by grand flames
Silk ashes rising to beclouded safety

Can you hear the notes
Being sung from the pavement

And in an instant
There is calm and
There is cool
Breezes breathing
Morning on my skin
Track Name: Brewster
There’s a bulb just ahead
Beyond the road that climbs so high
As cool as dark, an asphalt mountain

We need to cross
We need to cross

Machines, they taunt
And dance in the sky

Knuckles embraced, the wind keeps creeping
Seeping through the moist skin
By now, we’re one
My cold bones and your silky palms

Machines, they taunt
And dance in the sky
Track Name: Villa Giselle
So I’ll tell them
Be back briefly
Drowned in dreams
My fingers wrapped tightly
Around each grip
To the mountains
And beyond,
I’ll ride my ship
Kissing coral clouds
Up on the peaks
Seeing sights above men
that no man should see

There is no telling
How long I
Will be in the mountains

I have no ties to be cut
No creations to be burned
I’ve accepted my past
And the waste that I’ve heard

I have no ties to be cut
No creations to be burned
I’ve accepted my life
Separation is what I yearn

There is no telling
How long I
Will be in the mountains
