Creature Cadence 04:20
lyrics

Seeking some shut-eye in swathes of butterflies Tune out the noise and tune into your poise Dream-tides align, a cage full of z's A number of wasps that sting all the bees I close my third eye and numb all the pain But after sleep's done the problems remain Loud as the owls at the stroke of midnight I turn a blind eye as they feast on my light All my butterflies are bound in straight jackets Piles of humans, all fuss, what's the racket? Dream-tides align, a cage full of z's A number of wasps that sting all the bees I close my third eye and numb all the pain But after sleep's done the problems remain Seeking some shut-eye in swathes of butterflies Tune out the noise and tune into your poise Dream-tides align, a cage full of z's A number of wasps that sting all the bees I close my third eye and numb all the pain But after sleep's done the problems remain

Antlings March to War 02:12
lyrics
buy track
Here in all your safe haven Here in all your safe haven Motherly arms and a fatherly touch Problems arise that won't phase you much Dreams of grandeur all focussed on you Here in all your safe haven Here in all your safe haven Out of the door and into the world Just a small child yet a conquering girl Shadows falter at the drift of you Here in all your rose garden Here in all your rose garden Brittling dust under concrete slabs Feast for the worms till they're rolling flabs Your eye sockets don't resemble you

Queen of the Seas 02:52
lyrics
buy track
I saw your running start from the sands Holding your happiness in your hands Snow white hair floating along with the breeze Nothing scares you, you're the queen of the seas Surfing waves meters high You're never afraid about when you'll die And when it's all a little too much You'll face it and say "aren't I just such?" So I shall pour all my love into thee As you conquest over heavenly seas Stride into strife just to feel more alive Lift into air like a waterly dive Oh my heart becomes weak When all the snow distils to a leak I'll memorize the crystal blue eyes I'll face the great wave and murmur "goodbye..." Surfing waves meters high You're never afraid about when you'll die And when it's all a little too much You'll face it and say "aren't I just such?"

Gondola 06:02
lyrics
buy track
Water rushes by Underneath and to my side We're dancing in a space Not too far above this lake We're dancing in a space Not too far above this lake Copious amounts Liquid scarcity and bounds Submerged beneath the waves Hearts all lined up in their caves Submerged beneath the waves Hearts all lined up in their caves When the spectacular sings I'll be waiting in the wings In the forest of the lost I hope you've affixed a cost Gondola, gondola... Sing a song for Ariel To the chimes of the wedding bells Look into the azure sea It'll be you that's holding me Gondola, gondola... Time to tune out all the noise Time to tune into your poise In the act of letting go You'll grasp a truth that you'll always know It is time for the abyss to make a noise for me It is time for the abyss to make a noise for me Sing a song for Ariel To the chimes of the wedding bells Look into the azure sea It'll be you that's holding me It is time for the abyss to make a noise for me It is time for the abyss to make a noise for me

The Tea Party 03:11
lyrics
buy track
Settling silverware for tea parties The sylphic situations and sea-hearties We're all characters We're all kinds of fun Stacks of hats all coddled in room-corners In the heart of fauna all foreigner Friends in eyes of past Friends were built to last Thee shalt pour gold éclair At the old gazebo Mind or not you shall bring height Burrowed down a deep hole with pocket-watch Fuzzy fetid feline playing hopscotch We're the storybook We're the fabled ones Dig in, dug in, dine in to supper now Fruits and nuts and shortcakes for you to chow Friends are for meeting Friends to share eating Thee shalt pour gold éclair At the old gazebo Mind or not you shall bring height

The New Generation 03:00
lyrics
buy track
I wake up in the morning and feel existential dread I open up my eyes and sigh that I'm not dead Feeling hope that I'll find an out I waltz up to my peers who refuse to cut loose The greasy fingers fumbling around failing a noose Thank god I was a young boy scout The day is like a party with friends hanging about I'm reigning in excitement as strangers scream and shout Roll my eyes, you can't save the ice I waltz into my future, the prices soar sky high I scrape together pennies and splurge to eat a fly The old gen wasting time on vice

Euphoria 05:34
lyrics
buy track
Shots in the dark I knew to take Feeling the lungfuls that you make God, feel all the air! God, feel all the air! Nothing quite like a belly that breathes The rivers that slow, the mountains they heave, so God, feel all the air! God, feel all the air! Shoulders in fray now Doeing brown eyes gleam child A fur that was black going grey Nothing I do or say will change I want the power To do all as I like free of time free of space I want the sea To change tides to change ways to change minds to change place Euphoria all in the back of my mind I am just dreading the day Goodbye to happy songs I know they're gone Goodbye to happy days I know they're done

Down the Rabbit Hole 04:13
lyrics
buy track
Consumer of hairs Tickling nether-wheres Caprices across the sky Neverland believing why Shadow-formed and scared Lemons spinning in there Speckled dusting lines Trickled on alpines Cowly shapes are twisting wild Sucked into a spice and mild Golden and embraced Brother you are two-faced I am the panther lurk in the night Bursting through the lesser beings Discarded into the blight To be cursed with eyes for seeing Can't we all just fall along? The wind will bruise our flailing arms Down into the echelons Toss a stone into the calms Ella's face is twisting night As the antlings march tonight Summiting for feasts Death really is a beast Speckled dusting lines Trickled on alpines Cowly shapes are twisting wild Sucked into a spice and mild Golden and embraced Brother you are two-faced Down the rabbit hole, the rabbit hole, the rabbit hole... Ella's face is twisting night As the antlings march tonight Summiting for feasts Death really is a beast Speckled dusting lines Trickled on alpines Cowly shapes are twisting wild Sucked into a spice and mild Golden and embraced Brother you are two-faced
