When I die
Burn my body
Set alight
To set me free
Release the ash
Into the sea
Celebrate
Ceremony
Carry this breath
Across the breeze
Every sigh
Every sneeze
These atoms will
Become a tree
A life is left
To history
I don't need a sign that when my bones are left behind my consciousness will leave my mind and just evaporate until there's nothing left.

Grow
03:01
|

I realise that skin and bone
are merely craft of stick and stone
to give the heart a place to grow
Wrap me in foil,
plant me in soil
and though I may spoil
my heart will never rot
I realise that skin and bone
are simply seeds that aren't yet sown
but slowly finding their way home
Wrap me in foil,
plant me in soil
and though I may spoil
those seeds will soon be free

All My Faith
03:22
|

The love you're after
isn't sold
It can't be bartered
or borrowed
You will be loved,
you know you have
all my faith
The love you're after
is so bold
It will not die
or grow old
You will be loved,
you know you have
all my faith
When all is over
for this world
The love showed her
will save your soul

We'll Greet Death
04:52
|

I was on
I was off
I was par for the course
Just a rock
On a roll
Just a boy
Just a girl
Even if
Time eats time
Even if
Time eats time
And you say
That's all there is
So don't go and waste it
You should know
I plan to
Live a life without regret
And you say
That's all there is
No goodbye, no farewell kiss
And if you aren't remembered
Then you never existed
We'll greet death

I Couldn't Wait
02:48
|

I couldn't wait
I packed my things up and waited
for the day
When my mistakes
would leave my body and
evaporate
I just couldn't do it
I wasn't serious
and though I
might feel better if I die
I don't want to leave it this way
You'll never know
such insight
without the loss
of the innocence
of your childhood
and it's never to return
I couldn't wait
I packed my things up and waited
for the day
When my mistakes
would leave my body and
evaporate

Wings
03:33
|

Four years
is how long i've read
it takes to walk across
the land of the dead
I'll give you wings that fit
so you can fly over it
If the Sirens
trick you with their song
and pull you down towards
an ocean a thousand miles long
I'll build you wooden ships
so you can sail over it

Verily
You'll wait for me,
over the land,
across the sea
This weighted hand
is finally free
of fallen sand,
falling like tears
Verily
You'll wait for me,
over the land,
across the sea
And yet you wait
so patiently
until the day
I cross that sea

Goodnight
02:52
|
|||
The night
was over
before
it even began
the headlights
both trace
lines through
the dark
The night
was over
before
we'd even arrived
the streetlamps
all watch
you lie in
the road
