Lyrics


Ribbon Dragons
Ribbon Dragons, on my bedside
Try to recreate them, their tiny magesty
Can't say it's easy
but if I try enough times
Trash bag ties, Constricting my eyes
I get somewhere, Far from my original
Hovering, hovering, about to take off
Ribbon Dragons
Ribbon Dragons, on my bedside

People in Pictures
If I let go of the steering wheel
But leave my, leave my foot on the gas
Will this drive itself, you can't convince people
To like what they don't like
leave what they, they can't leave
Love who they don't love, leave what they can't
they can't leave, they can't leave

As much as you try
As much we all do, we all do
we all do, we all do

And I wonder what it feels like
to let go, go astray
Let my anxiety, anxiety
Drip, drip away, drip away

As much as you try
As much as we all do
we all do, we all do


Fan Fiction
We don't know where the sun's shadow blows
A wind as strong as a bottle of gin
Sloe berry gales inspire sunflares
Out of sight behind the solar flare
Magnetic north acceleration
Polar opposite creation

Listen to the radio
Tune into the wind
And feel the power surge

Skywaves traveling around the globe
Permeate our personal space

When will
When will the signal
When will the signal
Stand out from the noise

We don't know where the sun's shadow blows
A wind as strong as a bottle of gin
Sloe berry gales inspire sunflares

Listen to the radio
Tune into the wind
And feel
Listen to the radio
Tune into the wind
and feel the power surge

Tightrope Walker
Couldn't believe it was you
I saw dancing
Held by the hand
Spinning faster than I
Could comprehend
I was the tightrope walker
You were the trapeze girl
Skirt slicin' through the world
Makes me wonder

And he stopped hold
You continued to move
At the same speed
Without a scaffold
Movement so fine
And I could only
Stand out on my line

I was the tightrope walker
You were the trapeze girl
Skirt slicin' through the world
Makes me wonder

And he stopped hold
You continued to move
At the same speed
without a scaffold

And during my
Bewildered bliss
You darted off
Into the abyss

I was the tightrope walker
You were the trapeze girl
Skirt slicin' through the world
Makes me wonder

Fields
Words carved out by the wind
In the green rice paddies
Venus flytraps, vines and ivy
Constrict our feet, constrict our feet

Rained on by moondust
The greatest gift, the fields within the sky
Small fires at our feet
The mountains bleed a stream of heat

Our hands and knees

On the edge of the pine trees
The old fort sits
On the ancestors
squares of crops
Yellow, amber, lilac

Rained on by moondust
The greatest gift, the fields within the sky
Small fires at our feet
The mountains bleed a stream of heat

Orlando
Settle on here, it's dark anyway
You're in my light, tonight
It's mostly ambient starlight
Shouldn't be here
A city is concerned

Seeking, finding, walls reminding
Softly breathing, city sleeping

Nothing much to see
All the shops have fallen on hard times
Nothing much to breathe
All that's left
Only star, only stardust
Waiting our turn
A city is, city is concerned

Dawn is breaking, day awaiting
During sleep we're all erasing
Words that hurt us during the day

Shouldn't be long
Before all this pretty light is gone
When my eyes are shut
I shouldn't, look shouldn't look up
The sunlight breaks though
A city is through with you

Seeking, finding, walls reminding
Softly breathing, city sleeping
During sleep we're all erasing

Calico
In the wake of my dreams
There's a lake
Where the boats
Are all tied up together

Water is my lullaby
Fall asleep in the ocean
With me

Colored pins sticking in
To the water
Spin around, tangle found
What you're after

Take a drink from the sink
Fall asleep in the ocean

Feeling good, starting now
Feeling alright
Feeling here, feeling fine
Feeling inside
Starting now, fall asleep
In the ocean

Water is my lullaby
Fall asleep in the ocean
With me

Mobile
Pages scroll backwards
Deciphering conversations
Doesn't make sense, doesn't make sense to you
When everything, everything's perfect timing
Why can't this fit in too

Abstract splotches, abstract splotches
Define our bodies, define our minds, people
Abstract splotches, abstract splotches
Define our bodies, define our minds, people
We know never drive

Fleeting to, fleeting to
Be refined

Stripped of my assumptions
Let go the perfect story
What happened afterward

Abstract splotches, abstract splotches
Define our bodies, define our minds, people
Abstract splotches, abstract splotches
Define our bodies, define our minds, people
We know never drive

Fleeting to, fleeting to
Fleeting to, fleeting to
Be refined

Tidepool
A stem of broken leaves
Into the infinite space
Imprecise, but perfect
A small, shallow vase

I climbed up to the top of the signal tower
Up to where the bars began to thin out
I could cover it up, if you want
But wouldn't you rather have
A watered down version

A flawed figurine
That's only fair
But I will redeemed
Which is my only fear
It's my only fear
They come crashing down
They come crashing down
On my town

Thousands of petals
Emanating from a central point
I climbed up to the top of the signal tower
Up to where the bars began thin out
Up to where the bars began thin out

A flawed figurine
That's only fair
But I will redeemed
Which is my only fear
It's my only fear
They come crashing down
They come crashing down
On my town

Maul
Even I can see
If you love something, set it free
Even I believe
It will come back again
Doesn't use a lot of sounds
Empty hearts

Be beside me, be my sidearm
Stays away from certain numbers
Does your decision come
Cognitive dissonance

Even honesty
Means nothing at all to me
Even I believe
Don't explain anything

Doesn't use a lot of sounds
Empty hearts

Be beside me, be my sidearm
Stays away from certain others
Does your decision come
Cognitive dissonance

Even I can see
Truth it means everything
Even I believe
Don't explain anything

Doesn't use a lot of sounds
Empty hearts

Be beside me, be my sidearm
Stays away from certain numbers
Does your decision come
Cognitive dissonance

Way Out at Last
Glancing through
The large, painted window
Small bouquet of violets
Waiting, the last old guard to stand
understood and shared it all

A man reaches out
Goes to meet his son
Connected lines run for miles
Reach out
Our heart only skips one beat
Roof caves in back on our feet

The way out at last
Put away your past
The way out at last

A form built, from a flat surface
Craters on the moon

Waiting, the last old guard to stand
Understood and shared it all

Put away your past
The way out at last
Put away your past
The way out at last
