there's a light to know
but I don’t mind
I do not mind
there's a life to know
out of my mind
out of my mind
they all come and go
but I cannot mind
I cannot
don't need to love you now
don't mean to love you
my mother's tongue
I can't heal my wounds with
my father's teeth
and how they'd never fit
in the name of the father
there I was hidden too
in the heart of the mother
nothing to see through
my mother's tongue
that I'd never get
my father's teeth
that I can't forget
this was supposed to be loud
and I know that it's a shame
such a beautiful mouth
for sighing to be built

Little Life

in the flatlands
where life is small
where the hands are still
where'd you go
turned your back to the turning swarms
turned your face from the sun
I have never found my way around your lie
your wasting
your hasting
you're now bathing
in empty seas
I have never in my life seen the good in it

Birthmarks

tease me
please me
did you really think that I'd come out
peel skin
comforting sin
did you really think that I could show
have you seen all my birthmarks
have you seen 'em at all
they're starting to glow
your love's the seedless fruit
I've sown
your mouth the heaviest stone
you've grown
am I doing it right
unless you'll turn towards light
tease me
please me
did you really think that I'd come out
have you seen all my birthmarks
have you seen 'em at all
they're starting to show

Soft Tissues

what’d you do to me
I'll come up back lately in the spring
all that's lost and hid
deep in the ground
I'll bloom out loud
I'll follow you around
at night
there's this fever
that I can't hear what you say
at light
unbeliever
I cannot make your love sway
I cannot make your love
not the man of the house
not a keeper
anything that'd make you stay
soft
a deceiver
what you see is what you get
lost and hid deep in the ground
that I can't hear what you say

Care
05:49

I struck this lightning
but you didn’t care
got into all this fighting
so much for you to care
I made myself those bruises
but you didn’t care
I’d make myself so useless
but I thought you wouldn’t care
you might as well give up
whatever suits your pain
might as well give up
don’t do it in my name
blue waters in my cup
I thought you’d have one too
but it’s never enough
I thought you’d hate one too
the lines you drew
make-believe
a tangled truth
your eyes deceived
it’s all for you
to make amends
now go back through
you’ll understand
I might as well give up on you...

For You Looking Away
04:19
|

every other god I've prayed to
left me bitter and awaiting
now I come in front of you
with idle hands to beg for grasp
cause I'm growing tired
and I need you just
as much as you need me
but you want someone to blame
and I'm the only one you've ever got
don't look away
for I'm the only one you have
I wasn’t there but
you needn’t split my mind in half
go leave me
you'll always come back for affection
with eyes cast down
conceal me
so the world cannot see imperfection
then make me sound
I'd believe it but
you're living on doubt and transgression
it’s in my blood
you won’t see it
you got so consumed by your own reflection
and all melt down

For Me Looking Away
04:09
|

now here's the thing about it
the walls will crush you in the end
though you cannot see around you
there is this noise you cannot mend
I've heard it all
but I can’t see for myself
I couldn’t care less
couldn’t brace for the swell
I've felt it all
but I can't speak for myself
I couldn’t know less
but the walls of the bell
you say there is nothing wrong
but then nothing is good either
you're choosing not to play along
bound to a life hopelessly little
don’t look me in the eye
I'm violent
I'm tender
don’t look me in the eye
I'm only silence
pretender
don’t look me in the eye
there's nothing
but ember
don’t look me in the eye
I'm no one's son
surrender

you’ll meet me blind
I’ll see enough
to lead you out
you’ll read me blind
you’ll feel enough
the bumps on my heart
you’re hidden now
will you come out
and greet the grace and evil
for all the parts that I’m missing
for all the times that I messed
you’re all the parts that I’m missing
all the gold in my chest
viața-n ochiul tău
mirarea-n ochiul tău
avântu-n ochiul tău
și greața tot acolo
minciuna-n ochiul tău
durerea-n ochiul tău
plânsu-n ochiul tău
lumina-i tot acolo
iubirea-n ochiul tău
și miezu-n ochiul tău
mila-n ochiul tău
și moartea tot acolo
groaza-n ochiul tău
ispita-n ochiul tău
căderea-n ochiul tău
și zborul tot acolo
tu ai ce să-mi arăți
tu ai ce să îmi lași
dar tu cu ce rămâi
când nu vrei să împarți
văzută-n ochiul tău
se-nchide-n ochiul tău
strivită-n ochiul tău
lumea e oarbă-n ochiul tău

The Diver

should you know
what lies inside
you’d jump right in
make the lands slide
should’ve known
but I just had a feeling
gazing deep down
would open the ceiling
I can’t open my mind
could you open my mind
if I’ll open my mind
can you fill it
I can’t open my mind
could you open my mind
if I’ll open my mind
is it empty or spilling
a blinding spark
the eye used to the dark
cannot see it
can’t believe it
but a diver at heart
would not be afraid of the dark
will keep swimming
if only I had a heart
I could rip this beast apart
but I can’t swim it
I can’t swim it

Inside the Lion's Mouth
05:29
|

you look abundant
still I offer flesh and blood
since you cared for me
since you needed company
you'll teach me loudness
and I'll sing you back to sleep
you'll make me flawless
and I'll bury myself deep
you'll bring the courage
I'll bring the fear
the ark of my flood
the salt crystals of my tear
you shine your teeth and
I bite my tongue
you don’t need me to pretend
what is broken
I can mend
but I just wanted to slip in your coat
and wear it proud
your sweet mouth
I should not taste
and I wish I had somewhere to turn
but my heart breaks
crushed in your jaws
burst like grapes
and I, I'm not blind
just looked away
from the world
into your mouth
but there's nothing here...
