Days of innocence
When I couldn't act alone
Without another's watchful eye
Nights in adolescence
When I wasn't such an asshole
And I didn't want to die

The smells of past lives waft
On a sugar summer breeze
My needle's missing all the grooves
My home's not on the map
My destination's nowhere
And I'm going it alone

Draw my blood
Let's open up these veins
Draw my blood
In my soul it only rains

Young Blood

I want a world to call my own

Prescience is dominant
In a state of mind I can't evade
Infatuated with everything I can't control
I digress alone

Anticipation is trivial
When you've got no plans or a place to stay
My mind's corrupt, my ego's fucked
I digress alone

I want a world to call my own

Accumulate all my fears
Precipitating late at night, dripping from my soul
Eons of time collect drips of sweat
Wasted years and years

Destination, start!
"It's never too late," but it feels like it is
My world is here
It's now
It's mine

Here's to Nothing

Here comes the sadness I can't define
It only finds me from time to time
In my room, late at night
When it's just my pillow and my thoughts by my side

Some people have a pull I can't deny
And when I lose myself, I've got them on my mind
Because being alone won't suffice
I can only try

I hope you will follow me to the deep
Where we can sink endlessly
I know these scenes are only in dreams
But I know your face and this sea
So well!!!

My bed is a lonely sea
I swim in blankets (silence)
I drown in sheets
My head rests on salty sails
Clinging to a dying breeze
In dreams of the deep

I breathe in memories of fabric soaked in sweat
I smell loneliness in corner cobwebs
I know you and me
Where dreams creep

Slow Ferns - Rules of Time (Demo)

Calm goes the breeze
Thawed goes the freeze

My heart and mind go dormant with the trees
Hints of life drift out on a winter breeze
My stomach turns with the seasons
My color pales with the leaves
Lifeless in the dead of winter...
My limbs snap with the weight of the world
My desire remains with just one girl

I want her in the warmth of the summer months
I'll keep her in my bones, in my mouth (heart), and lungs

Winter-Killer

Present: Where are you?
I lost you

I thought I heard your footsteps today
Because that phantom limb sensation remains
I thought I heard my father call your name
While waking from a lovely, deadened haze

It's not you

This reel keeps on spinning
The last film you made

I know patience because
I know contentment because
I know love because
I know trust because

Past: I had you

Let us be together, my friend
We can glue ourselves to the carpet again
Like those teenage days way back when
Waiting for the downpour to end

Future: I've got you

I found sadness because
I lost you

Dew in the Grass (Drum-less)

It's the thought of being alone
That makes my skin crawl in the night
Come creep with me

Pull my wings off and put me in a jar
I swear my mandibles cannot reach too far

I'll moult my exoskeleton
I'll change my ways
I'll change my ways

The warmth of your sheets could nurture me
Would you let me be your bed bug?
Come sleep with me

Bugs

I'm lying silently alone
In a house I used to call my home
It's said you shouldn't dwell on the past
But it's hard when you're walking down its path

The fan whirling overhead
Throws me into childhood nights I had
The cicadas were singing so loud
And I made the carpet my bed

So content

Keeping jars of bugs and toads
Selling blackberries up the road
Knowing the warmth will burn my back
Toes and heels meet dew and grass

Thoughts swimming on the breeze
The wind whistling through the screen
I was a beach leech sweating in the heat
Outdoor showers and sandy sheets for me

So content

But now it's come to this. Why?
