migration 07:22
watch the birds fly in formation coming back to you lets migrate in formation like the birds do you said you dreamed of breaking bones and holding me you held my hand when we walked in the dark down the road will you stay with me till the morning comes cuz i dont wanna be alone any longer we sat in the bathtub with all our clothes on we climbed to the rooftop to watch the sky turning light and you stayed with me till the morning came you didnt wanna be alone any longer and when we walked through the woods the birds sang a song that we knew i made a map of your face i keep tucked away in a drawer you taught me all i need to know about the geography of bodies and how to bury things that are best kept unfound and though youre gone i will keep singing all these songs ill watch the sky searching for the signs of flight

joseph, do i really have to say your name for you to hear me ive been looking out the windows thinking of your collarbones every morning when i wake up all i think about is your face and there is nothing in this world that doesnt have to do with you like when the clouds move across the sky and when the rain falls in the garden in the morning and when my head hurts i am missing you and when the aches gone its because of your touch so lets build a stone house and learn how to love god lets the beauty we love be what we do there are thousands of ways to kneel and kiss the ground ill meet you in the field and lie down in the grass joseph, do i really have to say your name for you to hear me all the ladies cut their fingers with their fruit knives when you pass

blue 06:16
my bones ache when youre gone and my head feels like empty like a field with no trees my skin is dry like the dirt with no rain my plants are fruitless my crops have withered away but do you think about me when im in the mountains i try to forget your mouth but ive wandering around the world for a thousand past lifetimes and now that ive found what i was looking for all this time, well i was looking for you ive been looking for you my teeth hurt with your absence how will i last through this season without you i feel so blue, different shades like the sky throughout the day fading into darkness

shore 06:42

wooden house 06:12
take me to your wooden house and i will hide hide hide away with you take me to your wooden house and i will hide with you take me to your mountain lair and show me all the treasure you hoard there ill sit on top of your jewels and your armor i will breathe, breathe fire but im so tired of waiting in this forest for you to come and save me cuz i dont need to be saved but if you give me trees to plant in this earth i will love you all my days and our roots will tangle around and around again, like twisted fingers interlaced let me kiss your high cheekbones and cook you flowers on the kitchen stove we'll make our beds up of violets and lavender we'll sleep, sleep fine but im so tired of waiting in this forest for you to come and save me cuz i dont need to be saved i dream of sailboats drifting on a green sea and the way you laugh so sweet your skin smells like honey will you ever come to me im hollow, hollowed out like trees that have burned in forest fires

green sky 06:24
i will leave you where i found you in my dreams you dont need me to see the sounds weve made the trees are filling the sky with green so thick that i cant see the clouds you took your shoes off and stood bare barefoot in the grass around us i never thought that i would know you now, now that i do i wonder how ive gone so long alone i will leave you where i found you in my dreams i will find you where i left you in my dreams, oh the rain it sings to me on pavement and in leaves and suddenly spring came and left you at my feet i will leave you where i found you in my dreams i will find you where i left you in my dreams, oh

when you were the sun i was the moon in your hands the stars all hung like lanterns dripping from the branches of dark trees i know, well i know who you are and you can, you can see who i want to be but dont look for me, dont look for me ill be gone in the darkness our skin feels so bright and when we lost ourselves we found that there was only light and maybe i dont really know who you are cuz you cant, you cant see what i try so hard to show you dont look for me, dont look for me ill be gone imagine what the last trees gonna feel like and then how will we learn to appreciate the sky and i guess i dont really know who you are cuz i could not be who you wanted me to be but dont look for me dont look for me ill disappear completely

storm king 07:51
i can feel us decomposing now watch our skin turn green in the afternoon light how long will it be till we become one how much longer, not much longer walk along the winding wall to the edge of the earth to the edges of the sky walk with me i will walk with you anywhere we go dance with me in a field while the birds fly around us you could build me walls with bare hands i could be good to you, if youd be good to me too walk with me i will walk with you anywhere we go dance with me in a field while the birds fly around us i can feel us decomposing now watch our skin turn green in the afternoon light how long will it be till we become one how much longer, not much longer we could build a home far away from all weve known if you come to me, i will wait for you here at the edge of the earth at the edges of the sky i will wait for you here if youll come to me

new songs 05:36
did you know how long my hair grows when youre gone did you know that i can learn new songs i dont wanna sing anymore but its all that i know yes its all that i know and i dont wanna sing anymore so lets build our own language that is based on silence cuz i have no words to left to speak for will you wait for me in a stone house in the trees ive been harvesting the honey from the bees we have been away so long, and the trees make my heart hurt for home stay with me in crowded rooms and i will feel less alone stay with me in crowded rooms and i will feel less alone will you wait for me in a stone house in the trees i dont wanna sing anymore, but its all that i know yes its all that i know and i dont wanna sing anymore, so lets build our own language that is based on silence cuz i have no words oh i have no words left oh i have no words left to speak for did you know how long my hair grows when youre gone

the moon shows its face to the night travelers can you tell me where im going to seek in darkness till you find how to lose the things you should have left behind friends will you keep your company with me for i am blinded and i cannot see ill seek in darkness till i find how to lose the things i thought i left behind dont you know ive been looking for a way out of this city i am restless, so i climb up the ladder to the roof im by myself a lot these days, im looking for you in the dust but the moon shows her face to a night traveler she will tell me where im going to ill seek in darkness till i find i never had the things i thought i never had the things i thought i left behind ill seek in darkness till i find i never had the things i thought i left behind

windows 03:43
death is a dream state and when we die we will see what we look like on our insides and can we change the future if we disregard the past and if we live life over would you come and find me here would you know how long ive been waiting for springtime to come, for time to stop moving along imagine what we'll look like when our bodies become light and grow wings out of our spinal cords imagine what we'll look like when our bodes become light our skin will turn into glass windows and springtime will come, and time will stop moving along death is a dream state and when we die we will see what we look like on our insides
