death of the moth
05:27

|

shunning sunday morning stunning sun
mourning the death of the moth
who willingly flew into its own grave
in between the glass and screen
rotting silently
turning to dust
your death in my palm was the lake at night
i'm unable to grasp the size
and it's hard for me to face
i was the one who was in the way

through open windows
03:23
|
|
||
i felt the sky
i felt the sky rolling over
away from me forever
and there's a question
there's a question that i refuse to ask
but i'll ask it anyway
"who am i to say who i am
when i only see myself as a reflection?"
no breeze, motionless leaves
the silence comes roaring in through open windows
as if to say "give up"
the lake at night sits silently and stares
i am staring into nothing
and nothing's staring into me
|

the moon's seeping through certain curtains and there you were
in the chair by the window, staring at your reflection, staring back at you
sitting in the blue light, what you really look like
the house is sleeping you are weeping for the moon and for yourself
and i walk out of the house and into the yard, thinking to myself,
"i miss the mist that covered me, the cloudy coffin that buried me in sleep"

i know i'm not
01:35
|
|
||
in a morning still disguised
in the blue of the moonlight
the lawns all fill with fog and so do i
watching from the window
a world i can't fit into
i know i'm not alone while i'm alive

in the morning on the shore
as the lake is being born
the birds continue singing
the songs they sang before
and i am in my room
and i'm lying on the floor
i'm useless and dry
born in the lake at night i'm
sleeping in the silent woods for good
unnoticed
the moth slid outta life on the sill
i'm mourning you still

two voices
05:22
|
|
||
two voices side by side and intertwined
trapped between two eternities
one repeats the other
the other only sighs
now they only sigh
and sometimes i leave the windows open
to remind myself there was something here before me
now i only sigh
re
redefine the lie
redefine the lie you tell yourself at night
sleep
sleep away the pain
sleep away the pain til it turns to gray
dream
dream of a new life
dream of a new life inside the lake at night
|

the song of the sill
01:55
|
|
||
from its grave between the glass and the screen
the moth sings the song of the sill
|
||||
9. |
|
|||
in the morning on the shore
as the lake is being born
the birds continue singing
the songs they sang before
lie down
in the
field for
ever__
get the
feeling
that you
only
repeat
repeat
repeat

i am a cloud
01:25
|
|
||
what was it i was tryna find
before the moth fluttered from its life
five pines lie down on sky
the blind's lines lie across my eyes
partially letting in daylight
is this what it means to be a lie
like a shadow at night or the moon in the day
i can hardly see my shape
as if there was something to see anyway
there are antlers in the trees
constantly calling for me
i am the fog in the lawn of my heart
i am a cloud
|

through my fault
01:05
|
|
||
morning sunlight
passing through my room
i am getting
too tired to move
there is nothing that i could've done
and now i know that that is my fault
i remember the night the sky died
orange, blue, and gray
i'm having trouble thinking
of reasons to stay

into nothing
02:50
|
|
||
drifting slowly downwards
into nothing, into yourself
water envelops, flows over your face
drifting slowly downwards
into nothing, into yourself
water envelops, fills in the empty space
thinking back on the birds
outside the window
water envelops, flows over your face
you don't have to stay
the wind blows everything away
|
||||
14. |
|
|||
as if to say "there's nothing left worth saying"
the deer go back to the woods
and i think i should
but the songs that i keep singing
are the birds lost in the morning
of a parking lot at night
now there's two of me
standing in a lake
staring at each other
knowing that they can't go back
