Bow tree windy long time gone
Tick, tock - time ain’t mine alone
Great old swamp of can’t let go
A crocodile carousel
Give me what I get to keep
Lordless, cordless I shall leave
And before I’ll be ‘live and gone
You wake me up in time
Home is where I can’t go
It’s what I can’t leave
Of all haunted halls
Tricked them all to ride along
All I heard of was the diamond
In your belly out your eyes
And I will never see
Walk these roads in a fog
These trails in a daze
I somehow return
Home is where I can’t go
It’s what I can’t leave
Of all haunted halls

Sunlight she has drawn
A comet like supersonic deviltry in her smile
Fool these eyes and I know she will
Carry me down to the world below our time
And the teeth of the beast
You would never believe
And the spark of its rage
You would never believe
It got me to my bones and keeps me out of sleep
Electrons in my glow spins ever so weak
Hello are you there?
Only to feel my last breath of air
Star blind mercury
I may need all the strongest I can get
From her heart - fossil fuels
And I know she will
Carry me down to the world below

Faye Valley Skeleton

Poisoned by Lily was covered in dust
Long before our paths have crossed
Tell me all you let me know as I was asleep
Secrets I know you won’t keep
Here I cannot rest while I endlessly seek
down the ponds, photos
And whatever all attics and walls may be hiding
Leaves me hollow just like the bones that we found
‘cause I don’t know where to end and begin
And where and when you belong there, you do
On bicycles old and dreadful
Deadly Sad and Sadly Dead colides
To circle air, on and on, and
Cast themselves forth and back in time
Found what was lost but lost what was found
I return to the calls somewhere
And whatever all attics and walls may be hiding
Poisoned by Lily was covered in dust
Long before our paths have crossed
Tell me all you let me know as I was asleep
Secrets I know you won’t keep
Mysteries burried too deep
Wish I could forget the way
To the valley of skeleton Faye

All that you will forget
I will keep it safe
Oh what you never said
I already lost

Snow made a blanket would cover our trail
Into the hollow I follow your tail
Straw made a man with a hat scares no bird
If I made that promise I broke every word
My memories are all dulled as if dream
A faithful remorse are no more what it seemed
Here we go once again drifting astray
This time without any breaking of day
Keep close dear I get so easily lost
Speak to me ceaselessly into its jaws
Time ate a hole in your heart I can tell
It’s the brightest of clearings, still hearing the knell
Who made our ship disappear in the mire?
Well, I made a promise of keeping your smile
My memories are all dulled as if dream
A faithful remorse are no more what it seemed
You know the wind in the swing from your tree
A name in a ring on the floor of the sea
You know why the mean weather is suddenly still
Why we are restless though yesterday ill
Y is for Yorick whose head was knocked in
This is for death who sets free to begin again

Broken Light Spectre

Let us now just wreck this ship
It’s going down into the deep
And maybe when all lights are out
I’ll see your real shimmering light
May the storm eat all that we remember
Hunting fearsome creatures
And maybe when a silence falls
I’ll hear your real whispering whys
Oh what imaginary love
Could break into your bones
If only to your marrow
God knows we always dream alone
Alone, you dream alone
If only I could take you home

My dear boy
Cornered by leaves and thornes
Bramble black tongue scout
Ran away without me
By ghosts of the thicket caught out
And I’ll be all forgiveness
And I’ll be on your side
When bee stings, thunderous skies are
bringing the end to your flight
Wake up dream head
Be here now
Your restless heartbeat never listens
I know you too well
Please come down, be good behave, no
You can’t elude that old spell
You’ll be gone again
For once again escaped
All fast like mice and out of sight
Like you never need to be saved
Wake up dream head
Be here now

Long-forgotten

Came here to separate from all we belong no more
These days are haunted by everything so unsure
I see your vague reflection, young and elusive
Fades out of the raptures of our love
Into the slipstream of once was
Give in ‘til it’s all gone
Tomorrow all your stories are yours only
Leave just, for we have left in silence so long ago
Lost in the slipstream of once was
Give in ‘til it’s all gone
It’s all gone
I know the place I want to go
I know the way through all the snow
There is a light inside a long-forgotten heart
A long-forgotten heart
