I took you out we went by my parents house all this to see I knew then that you loved me We all laid down wrapped in blankets on the ground cotton moonlight smoke in the field, my passing life Where did you go? Did you see me as you flew? I was angry, had my doubts love ever existed And breakfast when it's done that is when I was young we're watching westerns on the tv in the morning The sheriff's got his man a gun is in his hand it's justice, it's a plan you leave me every morning

This One 04:37
Come and tell me why what I want to hear is so hard to say. What's in it for you? Just make the words that I'm looking for if you can afford and your tongue's a sword. Come and tell me why patience is the thing you are faithful with to call me on. Can the heavens be if they’re anything but good to me? Come and tell me why what I want to do still isn’t true. Is it me or you? I feel the pull of gravity but the atmosphere keeps resisting me. Come and tell me which one I should choose. Is it this one or that one? I want efficiency a garden with no watering See the rainfall golden feel the heavens movement celestial bodies silver and golden This on, and that one This one or that one (repeat)

Cassiopeia 04:38
A white tiger, no one can compare to me It’s effortless, I am just the seated queen In the heavens you overheard my boasting mouth black tortoise shell, my secrets are pouring out The purple forbidden, I had to have a little peek My daughter suffers, giving her up to the deep Now I’m waiting in the shadow Everything will come to light Though I will be consumed surely I am tired on the night I don’t want to feel the darkness of space

What moves in the sky? Blue pillar of light slow ominous flight The trees all laid low Awake from a dream Pushed by the unseen We cried to our fathers Then I saw the wonder Make way for the fire Its courses they flew The sky split in two The smell of the burning wood

Intrepid 04:14
Stop it’s scary here and i’m not sure the morning’s ever gonna come you frighten me you are the voice i feel but i never see hide anywhere everywhere you’re far away and i am here you know it though your spirit is above the water and my soul will you come down? Invite me to the mountaintop a ladder down to meet with you Sandal with wings carry me I have a helper found in thee I build a frame, I found a stone, I do not read but write my name Brave on my feet you ask me if I’m worried but should I be? When you come down?

Gorgon 03:49
the beauty, the horror the waiting for tomorrow a church pew, please ignore the awful earned sorrow the fault and the credit the blame and the arrested a victim, the merit the vision we contested the anger, the fire the cold and distant luster a serpent, a liar the truth we try to muster the coral dried unyielding the mineral unforgiving a tale that's retelling desire to keep on living the sisters, the sharing the warrior menagerie a look in that glaring the mirror, the injury the silver, the swift sword the blood on the sandy shore a delay on the chord avoiding what we're looking for look at me, not me through me
