Apogee
03:15

I had convinced myself
I'd wrestled from the reeds
The everlasting words
Were glistening on my teeth
I'm wide awake, baby, it's 4AM
My body sweating on your old twin bed
Is this exactly what you want from me?
Are we exactly who you want to be?
My head is filled with foam
(I know it's sudden, my love, for you to see me like this)
Those words we spoke alone
(But let's forget it for now I'll try to hold it back in)
I know I'll hurt you first
(Please understand that this means that I'm hurting too)
That's how it always was
(And even now I know that this is no excuse)
I'm so sorry, baby, that you had to be
(Where are you?)
Circulating at the apogee
(Where are you now?)
I'm so sorry, baby, that I had to be the one to go
(Where are you?)
I'm so sorry, baby, that you had to see
(Where were you?)
My heart escaping to the apogee
(I called your name)
I'm so sorry, baby. Dear, I loved you so
(Blank noise here)
But you have to know that I'm all to blame
(I'm all to blame)

Black Hole

Everything that you wanted
Circles under the brim
Hey, that time underwater
I forgot how to swim
Gaping mouth in the sky
Be a guide for my eyes
You can't discover your footing
When you're waving goodbye
'Round and 'round your black hole
Pulling me in
Every moment you gutted
Turned my gaze to within
With a body so flooded
I forgot how to swim
Gaping mouth in the sky
I'm not ready to die
Floating disc through a puddle
All my breath as a sigh
'Round and 'round your black hole
Pulling me in
Your black hole
Pulling me in
Pulling me in
Can't keep pulling me in
Keep pulling me down
Keep telling me
All this time
You knew what's best and you
Can't keep dragging me under
Keep pinning my arms
How come I
Have to tell you
I need me more than you
Everything that you wanted
Starts to die
Can't keep pulling me in
Keep pulling me down
Keep telling me
All this time
You knew what's best for me
Can't keep using my love
Keep convincing yourself
How come I
Have to tell you
I need me

Pale Blue Sun
04:02
|

|
Down, settle down for a spell
Listen while the rocking chair
Cradles, tattered like a shell
Little home that travels
Blessed as the canyon walls
Hiding secrets like a well
Wearing clothes that prick your hairs
As the wind, it settles
Ain't it strange how we come around
Ain't it strange how we fall to love
(Don't waste your precious lines on me
Let luminous stars not shine)
It may be
I'm sorry
Pale blue sun
Be hope-adjacent
Lest I slow, again complacent
Well, it may be
I'm sorry
It wasn't enough
Well, it may be
I'm trying

Fold
03:39
|

|
Racing like a hunted deer
Blind between these eyes unfolded
Creases of the earthly clear
We're hunted now
Lanterns in the eastern wind
Carrying us to the forest
Dancing on the line between
The chanting grounds
Won't you
Sing low
When they're
Singing low
When you've lost the fold
Wander back into these arms
Heavy like a captain's spear
Swaying from the tides of souls
Freshly dripping like a seal
On leaden vows
High enough to almost see
Drunk enough to hear the chorus
Dancing on the lines between
The threaded down
Won't you
Sing low
When they're
Singing low
When you've lost the fold
Wander back into these arms
High enough to almost see
Rising up within the forest
Carried up beneath these wings
Flying up to hear the chorus
Racing like a hunted deer
Diving to the deepest ocean
Dancing on the lines between
Bright enough to sing them open
We're bright enough to sing them open
