Twins 04:19
the wind shook the kiss from your mouth before i could learn whose twin i was your face familiar like a light in the water just your touch could cure my lonesome blood you let go of everything you had and everything got left here waiting for what comes next the state of things is tied to me and i've been careless i think too much i want to lie still near you i want to the wind shook the kiss from your mouth before i could learn whose twin i was

Breakers 02:49
into their cheering hands and the faces of his friends no blood turned so bitter and skulls stayed simple every body in its place strange you should want it the same breakers in my lungs the graceless years are gone

Lands 04:57
where is the chorus in the airwaves i sit with crystals at my side no one can offer up an answer and years are passing by i saw the look of lands changing and i feel you are the one who's moving beneath me are there riders coming through the dark there is no more communication i'm building lovers in our bed i feel no real danger i'm filled with desire the back of my head split wide open i saw the look of lands changing are there riders coming through the dark

i watched you as you slept red arrows fell around us and before the sea came in i knew you were the one we are turning in the circle of the sun we are falling into our new forms i feel light i feel sent catch me racing across the skyline

Black Ships 04:38
i've been building black ships in the arms of a man i'd forgotten he rings the bell he's holding he's ringing in the changes only we are left maybe it's our january heads if only we could cast off all our limbs then we would learn to start again apart from every thing we once knew you as if you could be dancing like a tiger a tiger with such timing and me a flower in frenzy hour after hour i saw you build the ships and tangle them in branches but i can't feel my hands anymore i've been building black ships and all that i've seen i've forgotten the heart's curtain lifts the metal shakes itself where are you now

the cells of this body have all lost their memory confused by each other to work out of order and i hate that they require the need to be together how could they go wrong this terrible anatomy will surely get the best of me maybe they'd grow in someone else we head back to your place it's not such a nice place i'm still a little nervous i thought that you would notice and i hate that this requires for us to be together maybe i was wrong a simple little strategy to get rid of all that's wrong with me maybe they'd grow in someone else watch as they grow in someone else

against the garden gates and your gaze becomes clairvoyant doves lift you give your last we're in wavelengths for an evening i'm breaking up slowly see my face under electric light and hold me there in silver thread lately i've been leaving no one has what they wanted
