(Only sovereignty Lonely armoury Auburn honesty Can we remedy) Definite holiday, venomous arbor drawn ablaze (Only sovereignty) Craven abrading a thinning line, you were always on my mind (Lonely armoury) Shuttered and folding away, you’d be turning a shoulder blade (Auburn honesty) Paralysed and only sight for ruin (Can we remedy) Keeping in the reasoning frightened and forgiving and your open arms And all the things I’d said come out of the stream, but keep looking ahead along a slow decline Delicate hallowed rain, figure you oughta stay the day (Only sovereignty) Broken and draining it dry, heavy heart on borrowed time (Lonely armoury) Reckoning hour, reckless aim, tailing the raven to the lake (Auburn honesty) Bleary eyed and only sight for ruin (Can we remedy) Owning up is tearing up for eyes and common aches it wasn’t until you showed me how Identified the centerfold you cauterised, collateral Now I can see the fire

Lone on a vine in a bitter bloom blueberry eyes and a bruising moon ever so bright in your absent light Silver screened and the phantom pain evergreen through a silk lace veil you could see right through em in the prism night You were unafraid most of the days Anywhere on a moonlit drive over rising tides Only places, in your mind I wish I could speak and they told me I’m weak and they whisper to me and they told me to leave and I’m living in fear and it’s only a siege in the cold water breathe / In the cold water creek In the belly, the beast Was the Coventry silent ? You’d open a mile up high Informing your eyelids I was so damn blind Becoming an island sorely anodyne To shore up the damaged All that we blame Grown like we’d break Anywhere on a moonlit drive over rising tides They're only places, in your mind It’s coming around like the comet you found in a cycle a sound and it’s finally ground And you’re carving the light for a star in the night and I’m learning to lie and I’m finding it out (Outro) Second sun, still adrift and you can’t come down

Blood on the leaves, turning to rust Redden the sea, underneath an American dusk Steadily high, towered above it Fluidified, resisted the meaning apparent Sowing a seed, skin is awake Ceremonies, in your heart is the matter innate Covered in ash, we’re one and the same Hoping to last, while your body is pulling its weight It all fades from faith It all fades from frame You won’t find me You can’t find me, here Featherweight an alibi for lost time Iterate the color-blind, the salt minds Beached upon the past Harvest autumns last Out of our depth and asleep in the fallow No matter left in remembering shadows Harbor a life and you’re feeling it fragile Surface a lie and becoming a fable And all faith fades It all fades from frame You won’t find me You can’t find me here I don’t see his eyes can’t see his eyes I don’t see his eyes can’t see his eyes don't see the light Stow away to fortify the drone mind Mend the break your finger on the pulse now Breach the morrow light Pried the bonafide I’ll wait (dreams of nothing)
4.
When your pride is underlaying peel away reveal and resonate And your pearl black eyes no they don’t look back Cause the back of your mind is a cul-de-sac Follow blind along a cold breeze leaving only poorly covered tracks Could I forgive, the deeper end? Bear to reconcile with the same mistake In a blue divide, eyes silent So I grew disguised, miles wide I’d abide the Olive Age, darlin Sealing open ground In defying all embrace and I’m turning reason, voices ringing out And I always am, missing something And I always am. And the bluest isles, constantly colliding Better to recoil, eyes wide
5.
Won't settle back down, in the Val below I was in a fragile state.

about

We, Sacred

Dust from a thousand suns
gathered in the outer rims
ever circling the void,
catching light.
The pull is strong, it’s origin unknown.
All of our histories,
left to trade the old illusions in for new ones
following blind, sometimes meeting high,
in the neighborhoods we’ll never know
since we left the old continent behind,
the myth it's always been.
Along the beaches of the real
echoing youth on a cool morning
Sovereign by the hour,
daily kingdoms burning bright.
Our days under the sun,
our parking lot fantasies.
Palm shaded,
We listened for stillness.
