Two Reverse
| Lay me down so
To let you leave
Tell me lies
I wanna see your eyes
Is it a crime to say
I still need you?
Crime, wanna feed you
Light blue, dark blue, grey
Crimson trail
Straight through, stay don't stray
Grandmother, Juniper
Tell to me your recipe
Is it a cry I hear
From the deep wood?
Crying, reappear from
The weeds
Light blue, dark blue, grey
Crimson trail
Straight through, stay don't stray
Through the jail
See the sun
Flat as a knife
Cold and white
To my home, two rivers
Through my home, two reverse
Is it a crime to do
What you ask me to?
Crime

Ingydar
| Fragilely, gradually and surrounding
The horse lies naked in the shed
Evergreen anodyne decompounding
Flies draw sugar from his head
His eyes are blueberries, video screens
Minneapolis schemes and the dried flowers
From books half-read
The juice of dark cherries cover his chin
The dog walks in and the crow lies in his
Jaw like lead
Everything eats and is eaten
Time is fed
Early evening, the pink ring swallows
The spherical marigold terrain
Sleepily, Venus sinks and hollows
The stationed headlight of a plane
You are as far from me as memory
With fixtures fracture varyingly
The juice of dark cherries cover my skin
Six years in, no baby
Everything eats and is eaten
Ingydar bares a scar like a meteor
Crystalline amber guilds her cheek
Tambourine of the beech leaves lead her
To the raven playing hide and seek
Drying blueberries, figurines and the angel leans
At the head of the bed
The juice of dark cherries cover my chin
The dog walks in and the crow lies in his smile like lead
Everything eats and is eaten, time is fed
Everything eats and is eaten
Everything eats and is eaten
Everything eats and is eaten
Everything eats and is eaten
Everything eats and is eaten

Anything
| Staring down the barrel of the hot sun
Shining with the sheen of a shotgun
Careless little swinging sun
Joyous rays, we wanna come
Hanging your jeans with a clothes pin
Skin still wet still on my skin
Mango in your mouth, juice dripping
Shoulder of your shirtsleeve slipping
Christmas eve with your mother and sis
Don't wanna fight but your mother insists
Dog's white teeth slice right through my fist
Drive to the ER and you put me on my wrist
Grocery store list, now you get this
Brunch, had calls and messages
I don't wanna be the owner of your fantasy
I just wanna be a part of your family
And I don't wanna talk about anything
I don't wanna talk about anything
I wanna kiss, kiss your eyes again
Wanna witness your eyes looking
I don't wanna talk about anyone
I don't wanna talk about anyone
I wanna sleep in your car while you're driving
Lay on your lap when I'm crying
Circle of pine and riddle
Circle of moss and fire smoke
Fan on the ceiling like a wheel spoke
Push the clutch in and I pull the choke
Wanna listen to the sound of you blinking
Wanna listen your hands soothe
Listen to your heart beating
Listen to the way you move
And I don't wanna talk about anything
I don't wanna talk about anything
I wanna kiss, kiss your eyes again
Wanna witness your eyes looking
I don't wanna talk about anyone
I don't wanna talk about anyone
I wanna sleep in your car while you're driving
Lay on your lap when I'm crying
Ordering the stars in Heaven
Hurling salt in the sea
Dragging a new-born mountain
Didn't you believe in me?
You held me the whole way through
When I couldn't say the words like you
I was scared indigo go but I wanted to
I was scared indigo go but I wanted to
And I don't wanna talk about anything
I don't wanna talk about anything
I wanna kiss, kiss your eyes again
Wanna witness your eyes looking
I don't wanna talk about anyone
I don't wanna talk about anyone
I wanna sleep in your car while you're driving
Lay on your lap when I'm crying

Forwards Beckon Rebound
| Over the Dead Sea
Keeping you company
Thinking, "I'm not afraid of you now
I'm not afraid of you now"
Letting my eyes close
Shedding my soft clothes
Wind blows
Wind that howls like a hound
Wind that laughs like a clown
Mystery of lack
Stabbing stars through my back
Forwards, beckon, rebound
Forwards, beckon, rebound
Virtual bedroom
Rise like a full moon
Show me pictures that hang in your house
Pictures that hang in your mouth
Candescent insects
Crosses and fishnecks
I have nothing to pray to you now
Nothing to pray to you now
Mystery of lack
Stabbing stars through my back
Forwards, beckon, rebound
Forwards, beckon, rebound
Pulling your face close, wanting the inmost
Show me
I'm not afraid of you now
I'm not afraid of you now
Villain and violent, infant and innocent
Baby, both arms cradle you now
Both arms cradle you now
Mystery of lack
Stabbing stars through my back
Forwards, beckon, rebound
Forwards, beckon, rebound
Forwards, beckon, rebound

Heavy Focus
| Cemetery at night and the dog's in heat
The great grey owl howls and you're probably right
Believe in, better to be leaving
Oh, oh, oh
Terrifying like a gun
Like a gun store
The wind road
Invisible like a blank
Ghost blanket
No trees bent
Shakey like the first dance
Shakey like the first time
Our palms met in the clam sweat
Heavy focus
Focus, focus, focus
Set the camera to the flash
For a portrait of the spirit
Only way it's gonna last
To be near it
Heavy focus
Focus, focus
Focus, focus
Kiss
Focus, focus

Half Return
| Shadow, shadow what a show
Every other step, there's a crosseyed crow
Half return, half return
Minneapolis soft white snow
35 bridge, hometown
Half return, half return
Standing in the yard, dressed like a kid
The house is white and the lawn is dead
The lawn is dead, the lawn is dead
Illinois toll road, Indiana plain
Roll the windows down, shoot at the change
Half return, half return
Honey in your mouth when you gave me my name
Tears in your eyes when you pull it like a chain
Half return, half return
Standing in the yard, dressed like a kid
The house is white and the lawn is dead
The lawn is dead, the lawn is dead
Half return, half return
Rusty swing set, plastic slide
Push me up and down, take me for a ride
Standing in the yard, dressed like a kid
The house is white and the lawn is dead
The lawn is dead, the lawn is dead

Come
| Come help me die, my daughter
Walk me beside the river to the beach
Take a branch with your knife
Take my left with your right
Don't be afraid, my girl
Take me into the shore
I'm not cold, I'm not cold
Take my hand, take a hold
Let me lie on your arms
I'm weightless in the sea
Up to my ears the salt sits
In a circle around me
Take my life into your life
Take a branch with your knife
Come help me die, my daughter

Zombie Girl
| What a dream that was
I almost couldn't wake because
I was frozen in bed with a zombie girl
Vacant as a closed down fair
Sleep paralysis, I sworn I could've felt you there
And I almost could've kissed your hair
But the emptiness withdrew me
From any kind of wishful prayer
Oh, emptiness
Tell me 'bout your nature
Maybe I've been getting you wrong
I cover you with questions
Cover you with explanations
Cover you with music
Then the next night
Dreaming I could feel your skin
But the dream escaped so easily
And I woke up to the road again
How your words ring through
Something kinda sweet and blue
And I knew that you'd been understanding
Everything that I'd said, too
About emptiness
Tell me 'bout your nature
Maybe I've been getting you wrong
I cover you with questions
Cover you with explanations
Cover you with music
What's on your mind?
What's on your mind?
What's on your mind?
What's on your mind?
In your mind

Not A Lot, Just Forever
| Through your eyes I see
A smile you bring to me
To your joy I tether
Not a lot, just forever
Intertwined sewn together
Like the rock bears the weather
Not a lot, just forever
My dog barks wildly
To protect my infancy
From my ex-believer
And I try to calm the wolf
To remind her I am both
Still she tears at my sweater
Not a lot, just forever
Intertwined, sewn together
As the wren sheds her feather
Not a lot, just forever
And your dearest fantasy
Is to grow a baby in me
I could be a good mother
And I wanna be your wife
So I hold you to my knife
And I steal your letter
Not a lot, just forever
Intertwine some together
As the rock bears the weather
Not a lot, just forever
So I bash around the house
And the poison stains my mouth
She comes, I let her
And we share a paradise
And I roll them once or twice
Can't get much better
Not a lot, just forever
Intertwined sewn together
As the rock bears the weather
Not a lot, just forever
Not a lot, just forever
Intertwined, sewn together
As the wren bares her feathers
Not a lot, just forever

Dragon Eyes
| Freezing at the edge of the bed
Chewing a cigarette and repeating
Shadows of the words I said
I don't wanna blame you
I don't wanna blame
Stars bloom in the warm summer night
They have a clear view
Without the bedroom light
They don't wanna name you
They don't want a name
Dragons have silent eyes
Cracked eggshells, fireflies
I don't wanna tame you
I don't wanna tame
When the hot sand burns my feet
You have cool hands, you are sweet
I don't wanna change you
I don't wanna change
Carnations into the vase
Unfold your clothes, out of the case
I just want a place with you
I just want a place
As the coastline is shaped by the wind
As we make love and you're on my skin
You are changing me
You are changing
Stars bloom
On a warm summer night
They have a clear view
Without the bedroom light
I just want a place with you
I just want a place

My Angel
| Step over the edge too far
Open my hands that catch your wall
Nothing to hear but my very own cry
Far below the rocks and sky
My angel, my angel
My angel, my angel
Strange as she appears to be
Oldest friend invisibly
She brushes my hair with a physical hand
Lowers my body down to the land
My angel, my angel
My angel, my angel
Beneath the ledge in the morning mist
She kisses my eyelids and my wrists
Wake to the bleeding of the blade of thе sun
Returning to my oxygen
My angel, my angеl
My angel, my angel
My angel, my angel
