Wild Strawberries

Lay on the grass in the seasonal sun
I spy the Virgin Mary leading her son
What does it mean? What can I say?
Enjoy the drinks and ballads either way
Whatever, don’t matter
Wild strawberries
Whatever, don’t matter
Wild strawberries
If the ocean floods us, we will swim with sharks
And if the stars all burn out, we’ll tell stories in the dark
Wipe the blood and the sweat off your brow
It means absolutely nothing to you now
God is here in the air
Taste the fruit that harmony bears
Whatever, don’t matter
Wild strawberries
If the ocean floods us, we will swim with sharks
And if the stars all burn out, we’ll tell stories in the dark
If the ocean floods us, we will swim with sharks
And if the stars all burn out, we’ll tell stories in the dark
Whatever, don’t matter
Wild strawberries

Requiem
02:38
|

I can’t explain the sweet sweet pain
Of home away from home below the depths I’ve kept unknown
Accepting only lonely skin and bone
Mermaid girls with golden curls
Speak to me so frequently with secrets sneaking serpentine
Waiting to unfurl
I have always known
None of this is real inside of me
Images from long ago
Leave me in the chambers of the sea
Mother Moon is singing to
Children sleeping heavenly in dreams of what may never be
All theirs to keep
I have always known
I have always known
I have always known
Requiem and nothing at all
Requiem and nothing at all
Requiem and nothing at all
Requiem and nothing at all

Hazy Gray
02:51

Why do you think so much of me? I’m just a fucking amateur
Why’d you make me wish, make me miss all the pointlessness of where we were?
Foggy nights out on the plaza with the wolves, now everybody’s shipping off
Wave goodbye to Ma and Pa and say goodnight to all of the friends I got
In the end, who’s to say once it’s left my brain?
Please just leave the lantern by my bedside and I’ll drift into unconsciousness
Find me spying in the silence by myself just trying hard to reminisce
Everything escapes in my mind by the time I’m awake
Losing the ability to feel what is real and what is fake
In the end, who’s to say once it’s left my brain?
Rainy day, ocean sky, hazy grey, whisper shining secrets
Rainy day, ocean sky, hazy grey, whisper shining secrets
Rainy day, ocean sky, we are nothing, you and I

Silence
03:21

After disputing we all understood
We’d lost sense of time
Traveling North on a strong wooden ship
Everyone losing their minds
The skies had stayed gray for every day
Since we’d embarked on our treacherous way
We sung all our shanties straight from the heart
Praying in time that the storm clouds would part
Mother Atlantic had worn us all thin
Pale bony bodies turned white
We begged to the heavens, “please open up with color and light”
The clouds started circling
We all stopped worshipping
O almighty
Speak to us finally
The skies opened up, but not to blue joy
The heavens were black and silently void
The vortex was starless; we stared in awe
Could this be Death? Could this be God?

Spiderlegs
03:05
|

I come from dust and mud
Centuries of blood
Find me underground
Where I’m sleeping now
My mother was a harvestman
My father was an alchemist
Me, I’m just a nobody
Someone’s brother at my best
Disaffection since conception
Melancholy since my birth
I’ll be kicking dust clouds
Until I leave this Earth
Spindle, spindle spiderlegs
Hurry, hurry home again
Spirits out my bedroom window
Dancing ‘round the fire pit
I was just a child then
The world wasn’t scary yet
Find me underground
Where I’m sleeping now
Little village, wooden houses
Stone church between the mountains
God inhabits clouds above us
That’s why he can’t hear shouting
Spindle, spindle spiderlegs
Hurry, hurry home again
Spindle, spindle spiderlegs
Hurry, hurry home again

Valentines
03:25
|

Hello, is that you in the basement out of view?
Close my eyes, I turn white, I visit you late at night
In dreams, just between you and me, I don’t really feel asleep
Valentines in the trees taken by evening breeze
Broken window leaves a way for the bugs to escape
In dreams, just between you and me, I don’t really feel asleep
Are these my lies? Am I alive?
Have you got any way to tell me I'm not where
I'm supposed to be?
Am I in love? I don’t know, I don’t care enough to show
Every time you come by, I leave my body in the sky
In dreams, just between you and me, I don’t really feel asleep
Feel asleep
Feel asleep
Feel asleep

Hopeless Dream of Being
02:45
|

Look from the castle walls, look from the castle walls
At how the sunlight falls, at how the sunlight falls
On sleeping mountains green, on sleeping mountains green
And spider webs in the breeze, the spider webs in the breeze
Where did you come from my dear?
We are all inventions of here
I hear the valley horns, I hear the valley horns
If only we were born, if only we were born
Three hundred years ago, three hundred years ago,
All dressed in clothes of old, all dressed in clothes of old
We’ve been playing this day’s role
For the night, forget your modern soul
Follow me to somewhere else in time
Gold coins and war machines, gold coins and war machines
Tales of the kings and queens, tales of the kings and queens
Attending carnivals, attending carnivals
Oh how remarkable, oh how remarkable
I would like to start afresh
But I am just young mortal flesh
It’s all a hopeless dream of being
Here we stand on ancient stone
And all the dreams of long ago

Rainwater

Sneaking out the back window
Youngest I’ll ever be
Skateboard wheels on the pavement
You don’t know what it meant, it meant to me
Because all my memories, they will fade away
Floating in the free summer breeze forgotten yesterday by the Milky Way
Dirt roads worn like shoe soles, hiding layers of the past
Buried deep like fossils of generations turned to ash
Find for me an age old tree swaying in the shade
We can waste the day and carve our names
Because all my memories, they will fade away
Floating in the free summer breeze forgotten yesterday by the Milky Way

Requiem, Pt. 2
04:19
|
|||
Everyone you forget about
Everyone you forget about
Everyone you forget about
You will see in the ocean’s mouth
You will see in the ocean’s mouth
You will see in the ocean’s mouth
You bled from me and soaked all the leaves green
While springtime peepers sound alive and clean
Through moonlit bedroom window screens
Blowing lovely oxygen whose secrets I’d forgotten in the wind
Please allow me to begin again
Please allow me to begin again
There’s a place we all recollect
There’s a place we all recollect
There’s a place we all recollect
When I’m worn and tired I still find myself
Admiring the same old roads
I’ve known since I was eight years old
I’ll see you there with sandy toes
At the beach where all the old souls go
Requiem and nothing at all
Requiem and nothing at all
Requiem and nothing at all
Requiem and nothing at all
