A Bee Will Cross the Ocean (For a Flower) 02:48
lyrics
buy track
You have failed me For the last time Speak the truth, baby Even if your voice shakes She was still here Like a rushing river Routed through my home Routed through my home Everybody here to see Watch you fall A bee will cross the ocean For a flower You have failed me For the last time Speak the truth, baby Even if your voice shakes Everybody here to see Watch you fall A bee will cross the ocean For a flower

Carom 01:53
lyrics
buy track
Welcome to everyone I’ve ever loved Even for a heartbeat They were lying to each other genuine affection Jangle gypsy tambourine on her hip Rosalita, won’t you come and dance Every night I wait to see Senorita carom into me There we lingered, hoping for a notion to rise Searching for our allegory Preoccupied with the challenges of staying Jangle gypsy tambourine on her hip Rosalita, won’t you come and dance Every night I wait to see Senorita carom into me

Glacial 02:45
lyrics
buy track
Obtain a life That would assuage My previous Unhappiness She’s so cold I know We are frozen numb And I have seen The glacier Over me At home on my Dressing table Was a holy card Of the sacred heart She’s so cold I know We are frozen numb And I have seen The glacier Over me At home on my dressing table was a holy card of the sacred heart of jesus So the president left his boy in a stone tomb, And went back to work for the country, for the counry Your happy families Are all alike Unhappy family At least unique She’s so cold I know We are frozen numb And I have seen The glacier Over me

Low Stars, Blurred Rooftops 01:41
lyrics
buy track
I have seen you Guided by lamplight And I have felt you Turn at first sight Come and hold me, baby The sun went down Let’s head up to the roof The stars are low we can reach them from here My vision’s blurry But message is clear Let’s dance until the sun comes up Don’t care who knows, let’s shout this from the rooftop We don’t mind He’s our friend He can’t dance And his heart won’t mend The love of his life is why he bends The sun went down Let’s head up to the roof The stars are low we can reach them from here My vision’s blurry But message is clear Let’s dance until the sun comes up Don’t care who knows, let’s shout this from the rooftop We don’t mind He’s our friend He can’t dance And his heart won’t mend The love of his life is why he bends The sun went down Let’s head up to the roof The sun went down Let’s head up to the roof The stars are low we can reach them from here My vision’s blurry But message is clear Let’s dance until the sun comes up Don’t care who knows, let’s shout this from the rooftop

Servicemen in Yemen 03:16
lyrics
buy track
Blessed be Who would just give me a clean drink of water I can see Those handshakes behind my back And here I thought I was the only one that has this dream Thanking people for things I never asked for And as I woke up to see Show me the way, Show me the way If this is up to me I am reeling, and I’m stealing A great wind That tore the roofs off houses A great wind Slashed their flags to ribbons When fate hands down to posterity, it’s behind its back Those winks you don’t see, those are the shadows of their bombs And as I woke up to see Show me the way, Show me the way If this is up to me I am reeling, and I’m stealing

When We Believed in Mermaids 02:43
lyrics
buy track
Opted for the life of the purposefully unrushed Bounced from job to job, and never set sail We go Deeper, into the water It was easier when we believed in mermaids Life made more sense, when we felt less shame My funeral suited friend from Pennsylvania Asked if I was tired of being in the way We go Deeper, into the water It was easier when we believed in mermaids Life made more sense, when we felt less shame We go Deeper, into the water It was easier when we believed in mermaids Life made more sense, when we felt less shame

Matterlightblooming 02:14
lyrics
buy track
Never more powerful As I left this world I took a look back Saw you hanging on to my shell I’m not there any more I’ll find you again Where we end up next My arms will be open When you emerge from that light I’m the same boy you knew I said I felt cold And you held me again We were lucky to get old And find the edge of the world It’s just the way that I smile There was a bone-chilling firesound As it whisked me away A rush of energy and light I found my way home to you here I’ll be waiting for you, dear After all of these years The matterlightbloomed And held both of us And held both of us right here

Something Needed to be Done 03:09
lyrics
buy track
You’re so uneasy With your own beauty You come On strong Then go It seemed impossible That she needed, needed for anything He started showing up And we knew, that something something needed to be done It never dawned on her That she was leading Leading Him on So wrong It seemed impossible That she needed, needed for anything He started showing up And we knew, that something something needed to be done Look I know that this sounds crazy now But you gotta listen somehow and you’ll see That’s he’s in love with you and you know what to do Let him down Easy Everybody knows what he thinks of you He’ll keep loving you until he sees You don’t love him now, and you won’t again Let him down Easy

I Decided it was Kinder to Deceive You 02:26
lyrics
buy track
The body, the cage The cost of this wage Hide my worthless, I’m done If you tell We drop down this well And remind each other that we’re here I wish you’d see The sweetness in my deceit Up to me The truth will only fail you Exhume the body And provide an identity Lies are kindness I decided to deceive you You can’t carry on An argument with a whisper Drip the poison into their ears Elaborately insincere In his congratulations No one hates me more than me Exhume the body And provide an identity Lies are kindness I decided to deceive you

Caliphate 03:05

You are one with your God The sun sets on this new turn The angels and prophets will call Mecca and Medina light the way The oneness of God, we are the same History would make a new turn Day of resurrection The angels and prophets will call Mecca and Medina light the way The oneness of God, we are the same This blood won’t wash off your hands No matter who selected you No matter who Selected by your God The angels and prophets will call Mecca and Medina light the way The oneness of God, we are the same This blood won’t wash off your hands No matter who selected you No matter who
