The Brightest Stars
talk is easy when
you're looking towards
the morning
the brightest stars
are set in the
bleakest nights
old suns long burned through
ghostly choirs
sing their tune
whispering songs
set deep in the
darkest nights
radiate
a woman walks alone
long black hair
and eyes of stone
whispering songs
set deep in the
darkest nights
radiate
the brightest stars
are set in the bleakest nights
the brightest stars
are set in the bleakest nights
radiate

Host
in the beginning
no borders or boundaries set
just the beauty of nothing, nowhere
the dirt on the road
the rare summer rain
the heavy electric air
the outside
the golden shell
run child run run
run child run free
desire, bringing you down to your knees
desire, racing your heart
erasing all rational thought
what you need you can't get
still you stay after it
walk a casual route
through the hissing snake-pit
you can't hold back
you can't control
run child run run
run child run free
desire, bringing your face to the ground
desire, burns in your heart
burning your whole body through
desire
you can't hold back
run child run run
run child run free

Pulse
the picture on the dashboard
pulling you on
every season and time zone
depth and direction
you keep that old engine burning
until you run out of road
lay down on the dead rails;
steel bones
feel the spine of the monster,
its distant pulse
it’s just your imagination
that’s taking its toll
seeing things
you don’t believe
don’t panic now
it’s natural
yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
there’s nothing you can’t handle
like a loaded gun
although there’s many ways to do things
to you there’s only one
the ending will find you
unless you find it first
seeing things
you don’t believe
don’t panic now
it’s natural
you will feel
you’re not yourself
don’t panic now
it’s natural
yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah

Bury Your Heart
stop at nothing
watch it all fly by in a blur
oh black bird blue sky red earth
where did you bury your heart?
break the silence
follow the song sailing on the wind
oh white plume grey wolf yellow tomb
where did you bury your heart?
drive the vultures
away from the river as pure as prayer
oh jade stone pink moon silver sun
where did you bury your heart?
where did you bury your heart?
where did you bury your heart?
where did you bury your heart?
stop at nothing
watch it all fly by in a blur
oh black bird blue sky red earth
where did you bury your heart?

Loom
indian summer
keeps shoving september aside
every evening
the circling birds just can’t seem to decide
smoke from the factories,
freeways and cigarettes climb
like the thread on a loom
weaving wool with the clouds in the sky
when i look into your eyes
is when i fall into paradise
wrecking ball crushing
through everything left in its path
muscle memory melodies
living in bricks and stained glass
shattered and wasted
on too-good-to-be-true returns
so we sleepwalk the great halls
where all of our memories burn
when i look into your eyes
is when i fall into paradise
when i hear your songbird voice
is when I’m freed from all the other noise
when i look into your eyes
is when i fall into paradise
when i hear your songbird voice
is when i’m freed from all the other noise

Breathe
only in dreams
the untenable bliss
of timelessness
only in love
the immeasurable
the weight of it all
you better move
you better go
don’t let your heart be unsure
remember to breathe
frozen in time
where the radiant youth
meets the beautiful truth
you better move
you better go
don’t let your heart be unsure
you better run
you better ride
don’t let your heart ask you why
remember to breathe
only in dreams
where the mystics undress
where the animals speak
where the infinite jest
goes blank in a blink
where the morning’s a moonrise
you better run
you better ride
don’t let your heart ask you why
you better work
you better will
don’t let your heart be still
remember to breathe

Transference
when i wake up
i wake up
i wake up
i’ll see your face
see your face
your sweet face
birds of prey fly
overhead
above the earth
above the sky
beyond the stars
inside my mind
a crushing flood
of chemicals
peaks and valleys
flatten out
a new world will wait
a world will wait
a world will wait
when i wake up
i wake up
i wake up

Blood Moon
i’ve been keeping a secret
so long, so close
another skin on my body
layered over
i've been wearing a silence
you could see right through
the bloom of misdirection
for something true
listen closely
listen well
in the morning there's no telling what
we'll remember
we'll believe
in the moment there's no history
i've been keeping a record
collecting words
like a fruit that has fallen
in the orchard
how much will you carry on your own
how long will you walk this road alone
listen closely
listen well
in the morning there's no telling what
we'll remember
we'll believe
in the moment there's no history
how much will you carry on your own
how long will you walk this road alone
listen closely
listen well
in the morning there's no telling what
we'll remember
we'll believe
in the moment there's no history

Cold Windows
stuttering surgeon’s scalpel
sweeps aside
the shaking careful
cold windows anesthetic
shotgun fever
road kill bandwidth
it's all the same it's all the same
it's all the same it's all the same
dissected clover crossroads
vacant truck stop
ringing payphones
what you want is the end of want
what you want is the end of want
i don't need
no, I don't need
no, I don’t need
no, I don’t need
what you want is the end of want
it's all the same it's all the same
it's all the same it's all the same

Planet
now i'm just a stone in the graveyard
the bodies can trust
a wrought-iron fence in the front yard
protecting the dust
once I moved among them
like waterfalls
things were much different without you
no shorelines to draw
there were no means to measure
the weight of it all
i could count forever
in this great abyss
oh and when oh when
you arrived
you moved through
so many lives
now i’m just a silent observer;
a wall that came down
i recall when I was a planet
for i am, but a stone now
i’m begging you please to forget me
and leave me alone
time refigures all error
and injury atones
once we flowed together
like waterfalls
oh and when oh when
you arrived
you moved through
so many lives
now I’m just the quiet companion
of shadow and smoke
i recall when i was a planet
for i am, now just a stone

Vainglory
we were broke and bootleg
two of a kind
so happy to see the sunrise
we wandered through the wilderness
of what we thought we knew
would you run
would you run away with me?
we were young and faded
we lost track of the time
revolution had risen kingdoms decried
we turned down an empty road
direction now unknown
would you run
would you run away with me?
hey la la, hey la la la la
wake up
see the sunrise
we lost track
of the time
if nothing's real
nothing’s standing in our way
would you run, would you run away?
would you run, would you run away?
would you run away with me?

radiate/dissolve
wait,
wait a few minutes more
there’s so much left to say
there's no rush,
no hands to push back
a minute lasts a hundred years
sing your
whispering songs
the brightest star
will radiate
go,
deeply and completely
we'll forget the way we came
go,
beyond the horizon
become the setting sun
radiate
awake
to desert rain
cooling off
the heat of day
dissolve
radiate
go,
deeply and completely
become the rising sun

Moody, carefully curated soundscapes living in its emotions, curiously moving through dark caves and ethereal vocals flooding in a fog over a shadowy terrain.

it's such a beautiful album of grieving and loss and acceptance. it speaks to a particular kind of grief -- not a grieving of one who is lost, but the grieving for one who is still present and still causing pain. i love the last song most because while it could end in pain, or end with the narrators decision to permanently push this person out of their life and that would be justified, it doesn't. instead, it offers something. what is offered? acceptance. hope. and a chance for redemption
