Carolina

Carolina had the hottest summer she’s ever seen
And I often lost my name in my sleep
I often lose my name in my sleep
There you go
You’re gone again
You’ve already left
And I can’t for the life of me
Make up a story that lets me feel easy
Make up a story that lets me feel free
This empire had the wildest longing its ever seen
And I often lose myself in my needs
I often lose myself in my needs
There you go
You’re gone again
You’ve already left
And I can’t for the life of me
Make up a story that lets me feel easy
Make up a story that lets me feel free
I often lose my name in my sleep

The Sculptor
03:12
|

In the Winter
We sculpt
One another’s bodies
And sometimes you get mine wrong
In the Winter
He died softly
It’ll make you stronger
It’ll make you want to live longer
In the Winter
We sculpt
One another’s bodies
And sometimes I get yours wrong
But it’ll make me strong
It’ll make me so strong
And in the Winter
He died softly
It’ll make you stronger
It’ll make you want to live longer

Bring my body to the doves
I can still hear them singing
Through rattling teeth
Teeth teeth teeth teeth
Rattling teeth
Teeth teeth teeth teeth
These little animals
Afraid of their dark
Still chattering on about
The ominous sky
And my body
All made of salt
I can still hear him humming
Through the sheets
Sheets sheets sheets sheets
Through the sheets
Sheets sheets sheets sheets
And these little animals
Still stuck in a deep glow and
Biting their tongues
And these little animals
Still stuck in a deep glow and
Biting their tongues
Bring my body to the doves
I can still hear them singing
Through rattling teeth
Teeth teeth teeth teeth
Rattling teeth
Teeth teeth teeth teeth

The Ampitheater
05:04
|
|||
You’re so good at spinning
The string on the back of my neck
We slept under the guise of the great
Lake Angeles
The might of my marrow
The theater where all the dead
Danced
Danced
Danced
Danced
As strong as a stone
And as soft as the dip in my hand
You’re so good at gleaning the pupil
For old bits of glass
It sits like a rainstorm
When covered in what you thought passed
The might of my marrow
The theater where all the dead
Danced
Danced
Danced
Danced
As strong as a stone
And as soft as the dip in my hand

Black Locust
03:07
|
|||
The black locust tree
Stands outside my home
And what she said to me
Will always go unknown
Go unknown
Go unknown
Go unknown
Go unknown
The white web
Weaves between my stone
The white web
Weaves between my stone
While you sleep
While you sleep
While you sleep
While you sleep

The Mapmaker
03:24
|

Here sits the silk
That you
Wrapped beside you
Here goes the mud
That you let
Rise above you
Here swings the moth that
Has its eyes
On you
Here flies that hawk that
Dances out what you do
When still in the map that you
Still in the map that you
Drew
When still in the map that you
Still in the map that you
Drew
When still in the map that you
Still in the map that you
Drew
Here sits the silk
That you
Wrapped beside you
Here goes the mud
That you let
Rise above you

River Lethe
03:40
|
|||
Oh my god
We’ve poisoned the lake
Drink up
Take what you will
My thoughts
They go away
In the river lethe
I am not
Made of string
Though the spider spun
Me back to sleep again
I am not the bottled tongue
Your sense of calm
A well bred sheep
You take what you want
But you don’t stay
You take what you want
But you don’t stay
You take what you want
But you don’t stay
My thoughts they go away
In the river lethe

I Dreamt of a Snake
03:10
|
|||
Pulled a muscle in my sleep
In the dream the snake was
Inching cross the edge of the house
Then when they said to me
Walk carefully
Sometimes I am a liar
Sometimes I have nothing left to shout
Sometimes I am a liar
Sometimes I have nothing left to shout
In this dream I was the snake
Said can you help me out?
All secret creatures are in danger
Of being found out
All secret creatures are in danger
All secret creatures are in danger
Of being found out
All secret creatures are in danger

Apology from Hades
02:33
|
|||
I’m sorry Persephone
I was awful
I was awful
You burst and bloom
The first of Spring
In the wild
Lovingly
I took you to the underworld
Just so you could be my girl
I didn’t have that much to say
But I kept you with me anyway
I’m sorry Persephone
I’m a monster
I’m a monster
When I fed you pomegranate seeds
Like a dark birth
Like a dark birth
Winter comes too early
Too early for me
I should've let you go
Not taken you from sleep
