Lyrics:
'Cause I am a black dog howling at the moon,
A long winter in a cocoon, 
A dying man in a living room, and I know it well

Can I be more than a deer in the road?
Same clothes, same postcode, 
I don’t deserve the love that I am shown, 
But someday I will

'Cause I, I need time, so I can be, who you need me to be, so hold out please

I am the river, you’re the mayflies falling, 
It covers all like a pink sky morning, 
You’re shouting out into a vacuum miles away

Love towers above me like a tidal wave,
Reminder of the friends we couldn’t save,
So comes the day of reckoning like a parade

'Cause I, I need time, so I can be, who you need me to be
I, I need time

Lyrics: 
I saw a devil in my sleep, within a crowd, watching me, 
Felt him in myself and I went still,
He moves in the empty spaces we don’t fill

I felt a God within my veins, as your drums started playing,
Pushing the endorphins ‘round my brain, 
In a sea of people shouting to release their pain

I feel alone, but I feel in my bones tonight, something bigger moving like a tidal wave, a wilting bouquet, on fire, I feel a God and devil in this room

Do you resent the air that you inhale, and wait for better like a snake eating its tail? 
We exist in spaces in between, wearing masks like halloween
But I feel something more, something more

I feel alone, but I feel in my bones tonight, something bigger moving like a tidal wave, a wilting bouquet, on fire, I feel a God and devil in this room

I feel alone, but I feel in my bones tonight, something bigger moving like a tidal wave, a wilting bouquet, on fire, I feel a God and devil in this

I Feel a God and Devil in This Room

Lyrics:
Falling to the ground,
In a landslide,
Swimming in the sound, 
And my hands are tied, 
Everything must go,
It’s an angel in the snow,
And I will never ask for more,

The sparrow song, the spitting venom of a snake,
Coursing through our bodies as we lay awake,
The pages that you wrote are floating on the lake, 
But the arrow of time goes on

But no one ever said there would be more than this,
Nobody ever said there would be more
And no one ever said there would be more than this,
But I feel it turning golden in the fall

Everything must go, it's an angel in the snow,
And I will never ask for more

I’m waiting for the tiny parts to tessellate,
I see my silhouette on cemetery gates,
I’m vacant as the violins reverberate,
But the arrow of time goes on

But no one ever said there would be more than this,
Nobody ever said there would be more
And no one ever said there would be more than this,
But I feel it turning golden in the fall

More Than This

Carrie & Lowell

Wallowa Lake Monster (Version 2)

During my morning music time I improvised this song and then went back and added some harmony vocal. It is raw, but sometimes that is good, though it is a bit harder to share something so raw... The birds just so happened to be signing this morning as well. :)

Lyrics:
In the bitterness of the dark
There is a storm that rages
Across the plains of every heart
And deep inside of everyone
Are the things we hide from everyone

But I will try
To show you
To the One who makes
the pain go away
His joy fills the void
His love fills the void

Theres a blank space
Inside us all
We won't fill it with names
but we will fill it with alcohol 
We won't fill it with things
But we will fill it with noise
Because none of us can stand to hear
The Void

But I will try 
To show you
The One who takes away 
The sins of everyone
Whose shoulders bore
The weight that 
you've been carrying
So Lay it Down
Lay it Down


Lay it Down (Morning Improv.)

Song For The Dead

God Save Us If We Can't Save Ourselves

Likely an outtake from 'All Delighted People', according to Sufjan. Also possible inspiration for 'Impossible Soul'.

We sit by the monuments until they're covered in white
The hope is what takes us out of the trees and into the light
Get lost in the temporary pain upon our skin
Clutching for rest, we open our chest, let it all in

My heartbeats are numbered, I feel for a comfort that's out of my hands
Or fall like a swallow, my chest feeling hollow without any plans

And if we go straight into the dirt, I don't mind, I don't mind
We're all looking for a way not to hurt, or something aligned

Out of the trees and into the light, divided we wait, divided we fight
Out of the trees and into the light, into the light

We go when we're broken, and all the dead oceans move further away 
They're vacant and surging, I watch through the curtains and see out the days
And stare into dark pink skies of nothing until it all fades
I want to have comfort, I want to mean something, I want to have faith

And if we go straight into the dirt, I don't mind, I don't mind
We're all looking for a way not to hurt, or something aligned

Out of the trees and into the light, divided we wait, divided we fight
Out of the trees and into the light, into the light

Out of the Trees

Lyrics:

The colours were running from all this distortion in my head
The speakers were humming, circling feedback in our ears
Swept by the current further until the choruses blurred and your shout was a murmur
Felt your tug away from the crowd ‘cause, everything always seems so loud

While we’re drifting in this sea of noise
Flooding in our ears and our eyes

Out of the water, these quarries feel smaller
My legs won’t seize up like a deer in the headlights

These eyes are reflectors, old movie projectors
They blur my perceptions, the waves of affection
Had drained all my colour, the previous summer, they painted a picture of hallways and wicker

So drag my body off the stage
‘Cause nothing ever seems to change

While we’re drifting in this sea of noise
Flooding in our ears and our eyes

Lay it Down (Morning Improv.)
