1.
Waves Wave 06:10
These days struck with the thickest lightning Made from the brightest diamonds Spun from the thread between us all All days sounding the loudest sirens calling us to their islands Warm and safe the waves wave on and on and on We are only just alive
2.
Holy Well 03:15
I drank from a holy well leaned over and I fell I have come home to the ground there was no one around Many look, few can see fingerprints on the leaves what is there shouldn't be There's nothing as pure as now I've wrapped myself up somehow in days and days of the past the current, it moves so fast The current, it moves
3.
Black Cat 03:58
Black cat, open sky Circle of heaven Moon that's been waiting within walls of a storm, we are held in a stillness Hear no noises, Feel no breeze are you ever coming back? Hiding in the tall grass, alone at last. Black cat, will you come back? You won't survive what's left of tonight Take what's given, give when gotten.
4.
Interlude 02:13
5.
Slow 03:30
Slow, slow as the mountains move slow is my love for you Light murders the mystery opens the gates to the Shows only what needs to be brought to the front of the Slow comes death and life goes breath and sight
6.
Feel it in your bones Comes like sticks and stones on a night like this you really gotta be brave Give a little get a little give a little get a little gold you're freezing half to death and you would rather just be cold It's like the smell of blood I'm a shark in the ocean You won't see me there, but I'll be there alright You won't see me there, it'll keep you up all night Feel it in your bones, give a little gold feel it in your bones get a little cold
7.
Idle as a painted ship, atop a painted sea facing the big empty full to the top invisible demons Swimming in some blackness Dark before light, dark before light My house is your house Eat here, sleep here.
