Positionings 03:15
Yesterday the water; Today the whale. Quietly, the story is overwhelming. Always the movements in the weather. Always the dirt inside your teeth. Always the whale to break you down.
2.
Constants 04:05
Law says there aren't enough of us to win, Faced with the chance of winter never ending. Constant necessity of shelter, Made with the hands that steal the warming glow. So brace yourself and lie, This is all there is. Brace yourself and lie, I'm not leaving here.
3.
The Cold 05:00
Inside the whale The honest saint Held the sticks to end the gravetide Held the sticks to stop the rain The animals Their rotting bodies Line the beach like stacks of driftwood And so we dig a mourning grave. The difference when nothing's adding up You'll find out what you've missed The sounds you hear when you pretend you're sleeping They'll wait here at your door Outside the walls The innocent Hold the sticks to end the gravetide Hold th sticks to stop the rain Ephemeral Their rotting bodies in the sand Line the beach like stacks of driftwood. The difference when nothing's adding up You'll find out what you've missed The sounds you hear when you pretend you're sleeping They'll wait here at your door Water, water, The deep blue sea Water, water, The world is lost to me.
4.
Save your lucky strings, I'm thinking for the both of us now. Save your bad dreams, I'm thinking for us both. Sad and always thinking for the both of us. We all say should have been, If it weren't for 1,000 shelters.
5.
Violence, listen to it... We are lonely wading. The careless intake, The senselessness of everything, It is overwhelming. Keep your distance, Holding rocks out at arms length. Under the water; We are & we end.
6.
Sun, your way. Sad and warm, always. Sun always, Slow along, your ways. Sun, always. Sad and all, your ways. Sun all yours, Sad and all yours, always. You're sad always, You should have found our ways.
7.
The Grouch 04:56
Always impossible, Over soon, Lies unbelievable, Lasting. Sad always, Set in your ways. Doubt is always automatic and over soon.
8.
Bodies 04:02
Our bodies are sold in other worlds.
