Outside and In

Breathing into my shape
I am all eyes
Two minds
Reading into the past
I am in silent
Musings
Smiling
Closing into the glass
I know we think a lot of ourselves
Not to say we’re greedy or foolish
Merely we have to confirm our being
Held together
Held in tethers
Stronger than ourselves
Stronger than ourselves
Do you always know how you feel?
Do you always know how you feel?
Outside and in?
[Oh- interlude]
And after all?
And after all?
And after all
How do you feel outside and in?
Oh how do you feel outside and in?
Like all we wanted before?
Like I do?
And more?

ALARM
03:02
|

And through the alleyway I hear quiet voices
Talking behind the papers that fly away and around
I don’t give them any satisfaction
I walk away and around them
And from the corners of my eyes I see them moving
And as I’m faced with this problem I walk
Too fast
Too fast
They know that I’m frightened
“No it didn’t take long at all”, they said
“She’s cracked! Running for the hills”, they said
“She never, never had the know how”
Oh when I was young I’d put flowers in my pockets
When I was young I’d be Snow White all day
And I’d insist on wearing jumpers under dresses
And I wanted my hair so long
Ah
As we grow so grows this pressure
Crawling up our spine clawing
But I don’t see anyone there
Oh when I was young
When I was young
I wouldn't know how many times I was to blunder
I couldn’t know how many times I’d feel a fool
I wonder
I wonder
Ah

Brave and I cannot
Cannot blame
This line of old steads
For a long time
Lights claimed full glass holes
I can’t sleep
Honestly didn’t believe
And I can’t speak
And I’d like not to see
Who made them younger than themselves?
Knotted sacks and grown younger than they would be
You’ll see them
Blue by your lamp
Grey by sunlight
White in shadows
White
When over head
Comes the strangest sound
I would turn around
But I blew this one before
Facing North
Where the skies are more terrifying
Blown through miles of steam
And rusty trees
Held too high

Old Bells
05:05
|

|
All they want
Is too much to ask for
And so they pray for less
In whispers
Like ghosts
And strange
They clasp their hands for fear of
After death
I know I’ll be in shadows
But they
Are certain of
So much more
Than I allow
How?
[Instrumental section]
And over the battlements of crimson hue
It seems uncanny to be so far removed
And sear summer washed the rivers brown
My olden town laid bare
|

Softly
04:22
|
|||
|
Lay it over
Tremble gently
I would wash away
Keep me closer
Scratching dry eyes
After feeling
Told myself to wait for
Being silent
Ah
I know it must be hard to hear this
But I couldn’t find anyway to say anything anyway
And I couldn’t find anyway to say anything anyway
And I c-couldn’t find anyway to
Say anything anyway
I c-couldn't find
And beautiful things are made of strange parts
I need this art
To stay my moving limbs
I had been shaking and picturing breaking everything in reach
It takes something away
But there’s always light
And light is music anyway to me
I see music in light

Little pull and told by a foolish man
That the door is wrong
Turn to move this on
On to see a reed smoking wise-old girl
Drawing pools of ash
Into open mouths
Saying
“Hold in your breath, ‘till the moment moves you through”
Didn’t know how still one could be in pain
She laughed through her nose
Built a fire inside
Soon it caught the walls, it ate the ceiling through
I need no air at all
Hold x4
Me
4 million 293 thousand
Fears
Wishing
So fearing
Waiting
Watching
Keeping
Holding
‘til
Gone
Into the air all
Burned
All of the memories
Earned
All of the tears we’d saved
For a rainy day
Blown to cinders away
Hold me
For a minute now
Please hold me darling
I don’t have any notion what to do
Anymore
Still a bit unsure how to save my time
Kept a padlocked box
It didn’t do anything
I’m sure I’ve tried to please so many people
With my willing smile
But I don’t feel any better
Is anyone better?
Hold your chin up!
Grace us with
Distraction
And pandemonium
Patience
