Tonic/You Move
07:32
|
|||
you arrived like a tonic
when I needed most
you make complete sense
undefined
my heart cries out
after you leave
there is weight
behind my ribs
that you must move
there is weight
that you must move
through the world now
(I look for hints of you
in everyone
all the time)
there is nothing I can do
but watch you move

Light
02:49
|
|||
when you are with me
I feel so light
(so light)
how come
when you are leaving
I don’t know what to do
forward in time
I don’t know what to do
(so light)

Hear You
04:33
|
|||
your tide
rises & subsides
giving strange shapes
and take
(but I still hear you say)
sand
slow, hot: I walk
blocking out everything
as I move for your day
(but I still hear you say)
|

ice floe it's a piece of us
so we're speaking up
while it's heating up
play your cards right
so we can beat the Trump
with the foresight underneath us
closed eyelids while the levels rising
fossil fuels bring more violence
that's warfare for the warm air
they warned us so don't go there
we need cold air face the cold facts
it's like we're giving earth another toe-tag
it's now or never we need more progression

Clear
03:22
|
|||
calm water pools around us
i know you don't understand
but you accept
and the sun is out
and we accept
(to feel you
to fold you
to be near you
to know you)
clear
clear flow
calm water pools around us
calm water spills all over
i know you don't understand
but you accept
and the sun is out
and we accept

Crush on You
03:33
|
|||
hey
I got a crush on you
and I wonder if you feel the same
I got a crush on you
I got a crush on you
I wonder when you’ll come my way
hey
(sun
star)
I wonder when you’ll come my way
hey
if you would have the grace
I know you would
the shape of your fingers
your face
I got a crush on you
so let me in

Sky
04:23
|
|||
you come on silent paws
I ask your name but
you don't reply
instead I turn to wait for you
I turn away
I move the sky
I churn your eyes
into my skin
I move the sky
you come
(hey I don't ask much
I won't ask you)
I move the sky

You Move/Timelapse
04:04
|
|||
soft glow
fights back the shadow
you move
at a pace I don’t understand
you move
like a timelapse I don’t understand
|

Aquamarine Endpoint
01:49
|
|||
didn’t know what it was
to be possessed by love
until you arrived
completely on fire
searing my mind
while my soul floats down
aquamarine rivers
and I can’t ascribe
an endpoint
to your namesake
the shape of your fingers
your face
I will battle
in this framework
until I find
an accurate path
|

Sunup
01:45
|
|||
in the mornings
I look for you
and you are not here
