Inquiring Ear (Early version)

this song seems to progressively gel as it goes..

How It Caves

Holy Shoulder

A stone man carved 
strengthened to the darkness
Sucking thumb and throwing out his song amongst the earshot of home
If you're ready or not
They've stolen parts, left only a bust took apart those granite arms and wings, left him barely a boulder
Could this get any worse
And then they said
Tie him down and then the body won't budge
You speak of things stone shouldn't know
It's better to ignore you
Hey, what's the matter there?

I'll steal a holy shoulder
Pay no mind to the ghost
And let her song color fables

Hey, stone, you're not supposed to glow
No ones going to hear the call you're throwing on the earshot of home
Though you must find your maker soon
This man's been broken down 
Knuckles turned to dust
As her thoughts are bleeding out of ends, a lovers word floats to ear
And pictures are starting to come together
Did that just whisper?
Tie him down and the body won't budge
You speak of things stone shouldn't know
It's better to ignore you
Hey, what's the matter there?

I'll steal a holy shoulder
Pay no mind to the ghost
And let her song color fables

And as she chisels away
Her fingers give me a name
Now you only seem to bring decay
If you'll kindly just brush off my wing
And return it to me
I'll be on my way

I'll steal a holy shoulder
And pay no mind to the ghost

Holy Shoulder (Demo)

We pretty much just got these songs recorded just in time for our debut show with RX Bandits.

02 Water To Burn

By The Light Year 4 - 23 - 17

This was the latest song we were working on. It was an old one that we were re-doing. This was the first time we jammed it. So there's a lot of mistake and no real structure to it but definitely had some pretty magical moments in there.

Inquiring Ear 1st Jam

This is one of our tracks from our uncompleted album.

With The Birds

I come with the wind
It's been quite the vessel
A breeze swept me up
Then convinced me to follow
And before I could grow
I was carried over the water
And who would have known?
You came with the birds
Nestled in feather
When the leaves gave you up to the beak
Now over the trees
You've gathered cloud in talon
And who would have known?

We bloom every time that it's bright out
Casting petal and seed
You move and my roots are pulled with you
This sensation is needed for the soil

We both know it rains here
With occasional frost
But with the sunlight that we share
We'll strengthen our stems
What a wonder to ripen on adjacent vines to you
Our wilt will continue to keep us in bloom
And who would have known?

With The Birds (rough mix)

Only Leaden Rain

I divulge at inappropriate times
Please forgive me when I'm speaking over you
I might hesitate while describing my crimes
If this I overlook, I'm sure that you can too

Oh, but soul lets the words out...

I'm a fool during the best of the times
It kicks when apologies are overdue
That thought probably shouldn't have escaped from my mind
Sure, it was just a joke, let's change the subject to
Oh, how we carry the work of sharing the world
I'll bury your hatchets in me as quick as I can
Then grit teeth while the whole world squeezed

I'm supposing surely you wouldn't mind
If bite guides the hand
Then, where might we be when
we're both left staring
It's old, love
So, let's carry the work of
sharing the world

You've caught us reviewing our stances
It's not in our hands regardless of the answer
It's got us renewing our chances
And all in our heads regardless of the answer

Lion's Den

Who put Daniel in the lions den, then 
Where are we standing when the lights won't go dim
Could understanding calm the whole pride down
And through 
all your spitting, I'll ask how did this story go

Sew up the eyes that burn with circumstances 
With most uncanny picks of fight, my old friend 
We'll it's over when just one bites down to the bone
And while you're sifting the ashes
Will hope be glorious

Pray it takes consumption so long
That I survive to daybreak
And I can do this all on my own, right
I'll try and make it out in one piece if only by the skin of my teeth 

Well, who'll protect you in a fools 
direction and who decides if this is testament 

Awake and he's standing right by me 
They have no hunger in their eyes
