The Ships 05:53
I went down into the ships Back to where I thought we'd met Watching over white-capped seas Hiding from my blackened eyes Sorrows born of broken lines Carried on in my regret Sometimes I forget Songs would wash away beneath Drifting on the undertow Far away from you and me Hoping they would reach the ears Of someone to answer our prayers Just to grant us some relief On aching beams Given up to dreams Won't you carry me down Into the night The words so easily fall apart Beneath the lights We will wash the open wounds Water stealing back the blood From the mouth of the hold Underneath the hidden stars The moon withholding its remorse At waves unfurling their pulse Against the weight Of memories washed away Won't you carry me down Into the night The words so easily fall apart Beneath the lights Won't you undo the veils Of my eyes The water comes to carry me on Into the night I went down into the ships Back to where I thought we'd met Watching over white-capped seas Sometimes I forget

Loop Garou 05:08
My head is gone my body's in the dirt My head is gone my body's in the dirt Consumed by blackened earth Looking for its worth My head is gone my body's in the dirt My head is gone my body's in the dirt Corrupted and alert Untethered and overt Undone in dripping furs Spit glistening like pearls The feeling coming now The voices howling out My head is gone my body's in the dirt My head is gone my body's in the dirt Blood running to the earth Confusion raining words Collecting in your hands Unbidden and ungrasped Understand you said you understand Understand you said you understand Fallen from bloody moon 'Pon skin that bones break through Burst wings with feathers thick Weighed heavy with red slick Called out of calloused moans Unleashed and uncontrolled Fire from the axis sparked Torn light across the dark In ravaged reverie Delusion focusing Crossed thrice and opened up Jaws fractured round the sun Snaked tendrils coming on Woven across spectrums Conditioning my heart Conditioning my heart Disruptive and unclean Sensed in sense memory Ground in as lunacy Ground in as lunacy I wish that you could see Wish you could hear the sound Of the feeling coming now The voices howling out Your flesh makes words of you. Your flesh makes words of you. Your flesh makes words of you. Your flesh makes words of you. And I feel her coming through. I feel her coming through. I feel her coming through. I feel her coming through

I think I did this long ago Set the static on the line Slowly tuned into the waves Crystal set up to receive Muffled words of relief And what will keep me awake this time? As I loosen up the binds And darkness falls to light Oh, the weight won't hold Your ships are made of stone I can't remember the way I came All the colours washed away Blindly looking for the stars The ink pools into my hands From questions that I never asked Will they hold me down this time? As I try to reach the line And static overcomes my mind Oh, the weight won't hold Your ships are made of stone And your anchors turn to gold And what will keep me awake this time? As I loosen up the binds And darkness falls to light Oh, the weight won't hold Your ships are made of stone And your anchors turn to gold

I gave the keys back to Saint Peter Who tore them from my weary neck And made my way drunk and defeated Down the over-polished steps Filled with sadness of returning To my place outside the dream I lifted my bloodshot eyes And looked over the iron sea. The blackbirds circled above me Tearing pieces from their wings Till feathers and blood fell upon me To help me claim back all my sins And unraveling all my desire I finally accepted my fate To live out the rest of my days As janitor of the arcades. I buried my sorrow at twilight I raised it again at the dawn Carrying all my troubles before me To anchor against the storm So with fire and silken ribbons I cast off my regret And made promises I could not deliver But knew I would soon forget.

Breaker 06:15
The rains came again today Long hands blocking out the sun To draw me from my course again And undo all that I'd done. Beneath nail and rotting wood I heard the bells ring from the deep To pull me down into the waves That once carried you to me. the waves are breaking
