Words & music by Andrea Horne.
Recorded by John Lamacchia. 

Lyrics:

Ever-afters
Falling faster...vanishing...
With levity, I 
Turn and face the myth 
of eternal sunshine

Bones grow 
Cold and brittle,
The slaughter in the shade
I knew you'd like that
You were always one
To seek pain

Avalanche
Over the grass
Avalanche 
Over the grass

And then you bloom...
And then you bloom..
And then you...


05 Avalanche

Words & Music by Andrea Horne.
Produced by John Lamacchia.

Corvus Mellori (Little Raven) lyrics:

Guardian
Messenger
Ancestor
Trickster, trickster
Hungry child, hungry child

Make noise, noise, noise, noise noise!

Cut from white cloth
Scorched and shamed
Unkind messenger
Hungry child

Make noise, noise, noise, noise, noise!

Corvus Mellori
Bird of ill omen
Release the timid man
From the lonely mountain

Stubborn unto the light
Coronis gave you your name
Dressed in the color of night

Take flight, take flight
Make noise, make noise
Make noise, make noise
Make noise, make noise

06 Corvus Mellori

well I can't blame you if you're honest
when the wolf is at your door
it took all this time to get here
but why are you stayin'?

kiss the ghost who slams the door
in case your god is keepin' score

now did I tell you that you're beautiful
like someone I knew before
I can't put my finger on it
took all my pictures in the dark...

I dare you to ignore the sirens
flashing lights and question marks
is the wolf in gentle mourning
having lost her counterpart?

kiss the ghost who slams the door
in case your god is keepin' score
heartbreaker

in the mirror stands an army (boneshaker)
full of soldiers saints and whores (widowmaker)
true lovers and heartbreakers (troublemaker)
what's the difference anymore? (undertaker)

kiss the ghost who slams the door
in case your god is keepin' score
kiss the ghost who slams the door
in case your god is keepin' score
heartbreaker
heartbreaker
heartbreaker
heartbreaker

what are you stayin' for?

I made, made this bed
I lay naked
I say, no more worries kid
keep your head up
this hurts more than the last one
but they say 
what don't kill us makes us stronger
and I want to believe them

no the stone won't melt
on your tongue
and the snake oil won't
keep you young
and in fact sometimes 
you will have no one 
to keep you away
from the gun
but keep your head up
this hurts more than the last one
and they say 
what don't kill us makes us stronger
and I want to believe them,

I want to believe them...

and I want a house warmed by a roaring fire
and I want to burn with desire
melt me through from the inside out
my tired lines are all played out
where once upon a time I learned to doubt
now the loudest voice is mine to shout...

keep your head up
this hurts more than the last one
and they say 
what don't kill us makes us stronger
and I want to believe them
believe them
believe them
believe

The allure of a tender spot
making known, making known
gently, making known
a tender spot.

This is how it has to be
There is nothing here for you and I
I am young and I am free
And I hear you’re goin’ blind

Cuz I hear you’re goin’ blind
This is how it has to be, yeah
Mama told me you can’t see 
You’re so old and so much different than I
You’re 93 I’m 16
This is only in your mind 

Yes I hear you’re goin’ blind
This is how it has to be, yeah
Mama told me you can’t see
You’re so old and so much different than I
You’re 93 I’m 16
You can’t help what’s in your mind

But I hear you’re goin’ blind
And I know how it could be, yeah

(cuz you saw me from behind)
