"Tea Tree" written in August 2015 for forthcoming album
artwork - "Lammastide" by Vali Myers

lyrics - 
earth fight / hear us tonight
i have, always, wished i, could / take flight

my bones / don’t know
how to, keep this, path in, in blinding / pathless flight

alien / of tea tree land
sweeping, oh arms, carrying me / home

to the tea tree land / tea tree, woman
to the tea tree land / tea tree, woman
to the tea tree land / tea tree, woman
to the tea tree land / tea tree, woman

Tea Tree (Live)

my oath is / in possession
to hold in my own hands / my own

my oath is / in quick succession 
about to somehow jump / 
on both boats

but the quiet is, the quiet is now /
so loud
the quiet is, quiet is /
taking over, now

you’re shining, silver now /
metallic mercury sound
you’re blithely, blindly knowing now
the secret panther / is on the prowl 

but the quiet is, the quiet is, 
so loud
the quiet is making itself known now
the quiet is, only his /
let it be heard now
the quiet is, the quiet is taking over, now 



The Quiet Is (demo)

ringer tails performed live by lyndsay (lead guitar), gabby (cello), ruby (sax) & jac (vox / guitar)

Ringer Tails (Live)

rising, rising, rising / through blisters of rays beating
they're incessant / friends of crows
cats are falling from skies today / claws reaching
to their home / amongst floss and dances

my mother weeps for my sinking stomach / and heaving breast
but i never have anything to say
i amost wish i did / it would take me to a time
where my mouth was a corpse / full of gum
full of, gum.

with one hand upraised / i am the bantering fool
distracting all from my cavern
don't, look inside / don't, look inside 
don't, look inside.


Blisters (demo)

i had a dream / i was a baby cradling myself
sweet changeling, sweet nadine / curious self, curious self
oh norma jean / never smiled for the likes of me
made up memory / better than any time i've lived myself

ah sing / the revery / for me to sleep
ah sing / the words i pray inside / stifling the scream
ah let / the faith have wings and fly / its way to me

my head's a stream / pools teaming streaming with
endless falls of love / the gesture i dream of
wait to meet / the door that knew it was made
for every fool alike / and freak

ah sing / the revery / for me to sleep / for me to sleep
ah sing / the words i pray inside / stifling the scream
ah sing / the revery / for me to sleep / for me to sleep 
ah let / the faith have wings and fly / its way to me

Sleep / Hymn (demo)

lo-fi demo of song "shiver" written / recorded 9/1/16
artwork- princess of pentacles from hermetic tarot

everyone has choice 
make a list to voice 
the twelve commanding memories in your mind 

limericks mar the mind 
twist and play with time 
mark the words if you think they, lie 

tempered coal will tame the soil 
where the markings need to go 
feet seem to always need to know where
hearts can melt like snow


you can use your voice
or you can not use your voice
no one’s gonna make you either way

listen to inside 
where a pool opens wide
let it hold you you don’t have to cry

tempered coal will burn a soul 
where the markings should never go 
feet seem to always need to know where 
the heart won’t wait to grow

Shiver (demo)

i have never stuttered so much, than in this moment / where i am listening 
and with frailty now, i have softly found / this place where i lay 
under a numinous glow 
under a numinous glow
under a numinous glow

i used my ears to know when the sea was full
i used my ears to know, when the sea was / full
the moon the sister's mirror / casting the cloak as i grew dimmer
as i watched, 'neath the crook of the rooster
as i watched, 'neath the crook of the rooster

i used my ears to know when the sea was full
i used my ears to know, when the sea was / full
the moon the sister's mirror / casting the cloak as it grew dimmer
as i watched, in the crook of the rooster
as i watched, 'neath the crook of the rooster

the moon the sister's mirror / casting the cloak as it grew dimmer
as i watched, in the crook of the rooster
as i watched, 'neath the crook of the rooster

under a numinous glow
under a numinous glow
under a numinous glow
