Underwater

underwater breathing exercise
breathing deep, feet hung low
and i tumble into a nest, a willow tree
and you are the arms
are the arms, are the nest
we say yes, i've been waiting
waiting and finding
we are otherwise collecting dust
on a book we thought we knew
everything eventually becomes
city of two waking by a light
through the blinds, clementine
toes are spreading, inventing spring
look underneath the lilies of june
would they bloom if i breathed in your lungs
and kept asking?
asking for always
we are otherwise collecting dust
on a book we thought we knew
everything eventually becomes

Palms
03:06
|
|||
|
speak softly, while bones inflate my body, my body
retrace all the features you erased, you erased
noise inside a heavy light
echoing the words i thought
i thought i lost
rearrange the pieces falling into place, into place
the history your palms gave me a map to see, map to sea
noise inside a heavy light
glowing through a cloudless night
collide, and still remain
remain, remain

Out Of The Unknown
03:19
|
|||
|
fading slowly, let it happen as it may
myth or memory? depends on time of day
no comfort in the silence out of the unknown
take anything at all and claim it as your own
patient and pure, a love that felt so new
obscured from me that i've been changing you
no comfort in the silence out of the unknown
take anything at all and claim it as your own

Until
03:00
|
|||
|
the sky allowed a sign, if only slightly out of reach
the moon is teaching me, showing me how to speak simply
if only i knew, if only i knew
find treasure in the dirt, a shape you almost recognize
the swelling tides emerge, unfolding until you can see clearly
becoming anew, becoming anew

Trouble Leaving
03:42
|
|||
|
holding your breath for days with no end in sight
you recall everyone you once knew
there is a trail out back that takes you far away
and if you leave, will i still be whole?
promise to stay as long as it feels like home
pearls look like poison from your point of view
feeling like bees rummaging through honey you thought was safe
trembling once again, your hands gave you away
and if you leave, will i still be whole?
promise to stay as long as it feels like home
