Still in the nature angels fall
You are the breath
With which I call
Empty handed, unafraid
You came back
To stake your claim
Take my hand
And we’ll go dancing
Into the belly of Capricorn
With the wind under our sails
We’ll take all of our chances
Into the belly of Capricorn
First I went to reject you
Threatened by your simple truth
You held up your pure palms
Tattooed with a billion hearts
You said life isn’t over
Until you loose the child
Take back your innocence
Let your hair grow wild
If you forget me
Or bury me below
In dusty archetypes
My memory will glow
Take my hand
And we’ll go dancing
Into the belly of Capricorn
With the wind under our sails
We’ll take all of our chances
Into the belly of Capricorn

Pelican
04:37
|

They smelt the dinner fry
They smelt the dinner fry
They took their fishing beads
Down to the river
Prickles through their shoes
Prickles through their shoes
But they always went the same way
Together
The little one was brave
The little one was brave
Thile the big one hauled the boat
With no anchor
He said brother let’s go sail
Brother let’s go sail
Mama will give us rewards
When we get back to shore
The mama ran to find
Her two young taken by the tides
Oh my foolish little boys cried mama
But I know the tides will
Give back their lives
For my own sacrifice
Oh the pelican
Moonlight hid the sons
Moonlight hid the sons
Mama whispered a hymn
Across the water
Till feathers ripped her skin
Feathers ripped her skin
As she assumed the form
Of a pelican
The mama flew to find
Her two young taken by the tides
Oh my foolish little boys cried mama
But I know the tides will
Give back their lives
For my own sacrifice
Oh the pelican
As her wings
Beat the sky
She sees her sons
In shallow tides
Gathers them gently
In their death
Then stabs her bill
Into her breast
To give them life blood
Like summer rain
Pelican mother
Makes her trade

Mad About Your Sea
02:58
|
|||
I knew I had to be so careful
The first time I met him
He spoke of the Mediterranean
It was like he had it inside
There’s something mad about your sea
So gravitational
It pulls me
Until I’m under
Caress him, his body of water
My fingers reach over the waves
He said I, taste of the Atlantic
And somewhere else, that he couldn’t place
I wanted to try and make it feel better
To hang it all on a line
I wanted to try and make it feel better
But you don’t want to get dry
He spills in to all of my memories
Of St Malo and the call of Berlin
I wept in the Mediterranean
And it was like I had him inside
There’s something mad about your sea
So gravitational
It pulls me
Until I’m under

Pomegranate
04:51
|

Starlight runs from its own death
Waging a war against disappearance
I knew the signs of a star
That was in decay
Your packed bags full of reasons
That you could not stay
You said babe give it away
There’s no point to worry more
For there’s a higher place
Where there’s nothing to
Hear, taste, touch, smell or see
Well if you’ve found gods
Hidden ley lines and words of prayer
Is there a turn I can take
To visit you there
You said babe give it away
There’s no point to worry more
For there’s a higher place
Where there’s nothing to
Hear, taste, touch, smell or see
Can’t hide away from what is real
Can’t hide away from what is real
We ate arils from the heart
Of a pomegranate
And both our lives
Returned to the living planet

Climate In Your Skull
02:31
|
|||
You don’t look right anymore
You only see what’s left
At the end of every storm
We stare straight into the sun
Oh I want to tell you
That you’re not the only one
To be born
With the climate in your skull
Our feet are melting the ice
With every year that passes
Innocence is sacrificed
Oh darling I understand
That ibuprofen
From a good doctors hands
Couldn’t dull
The climate in your skull
I want to take care of you
I want to cool your head
While the fever’s breaking through
If angels tear down the sky
Are you going to tell them
That you’re not afraid to die
And to visit hell
With the climate in your skull

Animal Pleasure
02:48
|
|||
I know I’ve got my basic needs
And I’ve got good friends for company
But the wolf inside hunts something more
So I guess that’s what I’m at the party for
Oh I want pleasure
Animal pleasure on the regular
I want pleasure
Animal pleasure on the regular
Like the demon they call Lilith
Sets a bad example in every myth
Oh I go searching for somebody
Ready to lay their weight under me
Prince’s music paints the room
He comes in close
I make my move
Hi baby I want pleasure
Animal pleasure on the regular yeah
I want pleasure
Animal pleasure on the regular
Bone tired
When you’re working nine to five
Need a little pleasure high
To remind you you’re alive
Oh I want pleasure
Animal pleasure on the regular
I want pleasure
Animal pleasure on the regular

Calculated Risk
03:22
|
|||
I feel them coursing through me
Roadblocks in my veins
My big plans are just amateur actors
Reciting on the stage
And I could try anything
But instead I am pushing
Fear around my plate
Feel like an anchor with no weight
Cause I don’t want to go there
I don’t want to seize the prize
If pride could lose the last word
I would love you with the fearless embrace
Of all I can afford
But I panic, just like a rabbit in headlights
Afraid that I’m a fraud
Yeah you can do anything
But I smell the burning
Before the match is struck
There’s not a flame that I can trust
Cause I don’t want to go there
I don’t want to seize the prize
If pride could lose the last word
Yeah
That apple shouldn’t be picked
That chalice shouldn’t be sipped
That serpent shouldn’t be kissed
I’ve calculated the risk
Well I’m tired of reading the script
To a cautionary tale
Freedom bends at the knee
If we know that we can fail
I don’t want to waste time
I don’t want to loose sight
Of the rising sun
Can’t a girl just have her fun
That apple shouldn’t be picked
That chalice shouldn’t be sipped
That serpent shouldn’t be kissed
I’ve calculated the risk

Night Crow
02:58
|
|||
These feet are soft
With barely a callous
Why night crow follow me
This hair is dark
Without a white thread
Why night crow follow me
I’m promised I’m promised
a hand of red roses
Still night crow follow me
Why night crow follow me
This skin is fresh
Without a puncture
Why night crow follow me
This tongue is tamed
By virtues verses
Why night crow follow me
You came for my mother
Sister and brother
Still night crow follow me
Why night crow follow me
Cover me
Death
Free me
I will learn
To bend with the shadows
Why night crow follow me
To weave a cloak
Made of black feather
Why night crow follow me
I dare you, I dare you
I dare you, to follow
Still night crow follow me
Why night crow follow me
Cover me
Death
Free me

Red Riding Hood
03:50
|

Through the forest
Where sun shines pale
And leaves rot
Under footed trail
She wandered
The smell of fur
A shadow brief
She turned to see
The hunted beast
Revealed
His eyes were alpine
Gaze remote
She clutched the threshold
Of her throat
To plead
She said perhaps you came to eat me dead
But there’s one thing that I wish instead
The hooded thirsty girl
In the blood red blazer
Kissed a wolf
Who longed for love
She shook bracken
Out her hair
And turned to him
With her body bare
Full glowing
Yes the two were drunk
On strange delight
And had no time
For the wrong or the right
She said perhaps you came to eat me dead
But there’s one thing that I wish instead
The hooded thirsty girl
In the blood red blazer
Kissed a wolf
Who longed for love
Oh the hooded thirsty girl
In the blood red blazer
Kissed a wolf
Who longed for love
She kissed a wolf
Who hunted love
Through the forest
When night prevailed
The huntsman followed
Footed trail to a cabin
There he found the two
In sheets of white
That turned blood red
At the slash of his knife
She cried my god
What have you done
You’ve killed the sacred
Forest son
For perhaps you thought he’d eaten me dead
But theres one thing that I wished instead

Nemesis
02:59
|
|||
So she’s back in town
Your old goddess
Keep a low profile
Don’t go unto her
I taste bitter wheat
When our two worlds meet
And I hear her name
Resurrected
The Greeks call her Nemesis
I saw her shadow on your lips
If it’s her you can’t resist
Babe, the Greeks knew better than you
What a low betrayal
Your devotion
To a woman who
Does not love only you
I won’t loose my pride
As the clouds subside
To reveal her form
Great as Olympus
The Greeks call her Nemesis
I saw her shadow on your lips
If it’s her you can’t resist
Babe, the Greeks knew better than…
There can only be one
To win at any time
The crown she held in her hands
Will now fall into mine
The Greeks call her Nemesis
I saw her shadow on your lips
If it’s her you can’t resist
Babe, the Greeks knew better than you
In my deep repose
Where dark sunlight flows
I can feel her pull
Me into the river
In truth you were mine
Only for the time
That she leaves this realm
For another

Won't Shy Away
04:17
|
|||
Beside me are books
To make a body
Heavier than any man
A body stained
Black ink and coffee
Words don’t warm me
You stole away the dawn
To avoid the early cues
Left me in the void
Of solitude
But now I understand how it is
I welcome it more
To be my own company
I won’t shy away
Clouds the grey of abalone
Take over the sky
All the pillage enters
Through the gates in my head
Tell me how
When you’re around
I feel split into two
With half of me left hiding
Out of view
But now I understand how it is
I welcome it more
To be my own company
I won’t shy away
You come back a silhouette
Framed against the sky
Deafening chaos in my heart
Turns to silence
There’s a veiled truth
That I can no longer ignore
It’s not just you
That I’ve been waiting for
I won’t shy away
