The veiled nun vents heyday vatic
Her merry mouth still moves like magic
He could shoot for the stars if they gave him more space
He could give you his heart and never show you his face
Let me be there in spirit cause I don’t want to go
Let me tell you I miss you through the fang of a ghost

The how of old is cold
How do you know you know?
The how of old is cold
How do you know you know?

The thousand mirrors subdue the vandal 
But they'll shadow box a lambent candle

He could row with one oar to the edge of the earth
He could bury the hatchet, and leave a jewel in the dirt
I don’t mean to be shy, I’m just here all alone 
Let me tell you "go fish”
Struck dumb for fools gold

The howl of old is cold
How do you know you know?
The howl of old is cold
How do you know you know?

In Spirit

Mountain, queen of morning
Makeup mood to lowering
Lua ran aurora hand to bright Melinda glowing
Her cella-mural old soul
Her melted voice, it candles
A hint to find your kind away
In sound to see and light to save

The angel led the monkey
From memorizing pretty
To chase the vanish point of columns halfway through the city
Gone in, once seems endless
Where coryphée to ballet leads

To wind away the weather
The bell had rung to never
April plants the question, May, it flowers to the answer
The keeper of the antique, winged to bring you here to me

Belief to bend of bow, his shadow would paint
Halation on the cityscape, the floodplains, and the docks and harbored bays
And back through the hinterlands, the capsized sun is witness to a lost paradise where nothing bears a name

This has been laying around for a while, and I feel bad for not making progress on the new record so I thought I'd post this. Mkay.

Lyrics

In the city
That never sleeps
You’re sitting pretty
Discarded dreams
Lost your number
Forgot your name
In the wake of summer
All is grey 
You’ve got me confused 
with someone else
When all I can be is myself
Dull like daylight
Mid July
Contrails of vapor
Divide the skies

Forget all that you have learned
In the method you prefer
Gazing blankly without a word

Watch your candle slowly burn

A contribution
For the cause
Of retribution
Hold the applause
I’m the poison
In the fruit
So be careful 
Which you choose

Forget all that you have learned
In the method that you prefer
Gazing blankly without a word

Watch your candle slowly burn

Dull Flame

We're all on our way to the top in some way. A goal that at times feels unachievable. This song is about not getting distracted by the pitfalls keeping us from success. It focuses on the journey as a path to victory, not hazard keeping us from where we're going.

Dull Flame
