BUILDING BETTER BRIDGES (the silver city)Our heart burns broken at the ends, they fail us, keep building / my lungs are wax inside my ribs, you’re burning, well I’m breathing / this back breaks walked on from carrying friends, can’t stop now, still working

FALLING IN LOVE WITH GLACIERS (morla tortoise shell mountain)I met a shell of a mountain who knew she was finished / claimed she grew up from a grain of sand / with every year wider she bloomed a little bit longer

I DON’T WANT TO LIVE FOREVER (the city of old emperors)You've got beet blood in your mouth and lies in your artichoked heart / you’re black eyes stalking through me / with a birdcage for ribs, that vultures trying to get out

MOST ROADS LEAD TO HOME (the dream miner)I can’t remember.......making all these visions in my head / but they’re moving in this room........fighting together above my bed / shadows swirling hand in hand........making new faces in the wind

WOODEN HEART (sea of mist called skaidan)We’re all born to broken people on their most honest day of living / and since that first breath... We’ll need grace that we’ve never given / I've been haunted by standard red devils and white ghosts

YOU HAVE NEVER LIVED BECAUSE YOU HAVE NEVER DIED (star cloister home of wisdom)I saw 13 black crows as black as 3AM / and as big as vultures eyes / with wings hanging to their sides like laundry on the line
