red planet, red star blinking from so far away can you see me can you hear me? and the trees might turn to white in the middle of the night i can see the galaxies in the sky and in the trees you dabble into clusters you’re not a single start you take up the whole sky blinking to my eye red spider, red star catching light in front of me how do you build it? a web suspended and the wind might blow you down for miles until there’s ground i can see the galaxies in the sky and in the trees and the wind might blow you down for miles until there’s ground and the trees might turn to white from catching so much light

The Fox 05:21
swim tall, through the pounding wave, little fox dive low, when you hear them chains, little fox run with hooves, take the horse, little fox beat the earth, through your feet, with your heart when the open mouths find you with their eager teeth, fangs revealed this is not love they do not love they are feeding on the beats of your heart they will leave you starving and haunted when they come knocking, howling for more turn, turn, turn from them, run, run turn, turn, turn from them, run, run turn, turn, turn from them, run, run, run from them turn, turn, turn from them, run! i am not loved by you i am fed upon by you

oh, little warrior so much water within you you make up the tears not shed in the thick-skinned world let this one fall down let this one fall let this one fall down, let this one fall with the same tears shed as those that stained cheeks upon our arrival oh, little warrior your skin’s thick as a bowl is deep with no fantastic wall but thick with room to hold help this one stand out, help this one up to the ruling wall as a reminder that they in turn do fall let us return now, let us return to the same tears shed as those that stained cheeks upon our arrival back to the water, back to the deep without the ruling wall to find the place of every arrival

when we are ghosts in the world we will find eachother’s arms and there will be no rules that is what our death will be when i let go of my body when i let go of my home you won’t need to haunt me anymore but now that i am living, now that i’m alive i’m gonna withdraw from you, for you, for me now that i am living, now that i’m alive our desire is a whirlpool that pulls me from light now that i am living, now that i’m alive our desire is a whirlpool that takes me from life so i’m gonna withdraw from you, for you, for me when we’re dead and gone, we can build and build what never worked here without the strain or pain of being life and light and watching it disappear when we are ghosts in the world i’ll find your house floating detached and no one has to know no one has to die no one’s light will dim because we will be ghosts in the world we will ghosts in the world

Teach Me 06:27
teach me how to see the rain coming on teach me how to bend my back for so long have i heard a forest demon? no, i learn it haunts no reason down a few blocks, they raise peacocks teach me how to greet a new babe’s wonder teach me how to let my voice come sooner the daybreak with her fog of claws but she just wants her belly rubbed she’s not afraid of me now she plays on whats been plowed teach me how to make the long row shorter teach me how to make the warmth last longer keep your eyes on what you plant when the clouds part, lean back make the seconds hours with the sun and with the flowers

Cathedral 04:13
you take me to a cathedral sit me down on the bench you take down the stained-glass windows they show the story of your birth and you say, “Here, here I am born There, there are the angels Those, my mom and my dad That, that is a weaver” kaitlin, have i seen war? did i ever ride horses? was i a boy in a choir? did i ever have a sister? and you say, “Here, here you are born There, there are the angels Those, your mom and your dad That, that is a sculptor” you take me to a cathedral didn’t answer my question will i see space? you might’ve told me but i could not hear it i was listening to the choir’s song could not stop listening to the choir’s song
