Roots of the Roof

There's a place where the roof caved in,
and the roots crave to hold it up again.
There's a hole in my head
where the dust spins
like feathers swimming through the wind
Theres a distance I find,
to the places I might not fall behind
And there's a time and a day
all this space will fill
and I'll be on my way
Space is all I find
Space is all I find
Space is all I find this time

Mystery

Like no other kinds of mysteries I knew
But the edges of this earth are with you
And my pacing mind is there too
But I'm a step behind through and through
And the colours of our skies are one
But the moon in my night has no sun
Like a river without stones
Like a barrel without a gun
You're at the edges of this earth and I'm on the run
I'm at the edges of this earth but where have you gone
Like no other kinds of mysteries I knew
But the edges of this earth are with you
And my pacing mind is there too
But I'm a step behind through and through
I'm at the edge of this earth, but where are you?

River

In a while longer dear,
you will see a new face
Heading to a new place dear,
where we once were
And it'll be dark at first,
cold on you bare skin.
But like a river,
light will flood in
to ease your thirst
And everything will seem so slow
Trying to live the past you lost,
lying on the lines that you had crossed
like melted snow
And it'll be dark at first
cold on your bare skin.
But like a river, light will flood in to ease your thirst
Like a river, love will flood in
but not first
And everything will seem so slow
Trying to love the life you lost
crossing out the lines that you had crossed
All that watered snow
And it'll be dark at first
cold on your bare skin.
But like a river, light will flood in to ease your thirst
Like a river, love will flood in
but not first

The Pines

When we were burning the pines
The coals and cold air we caught at the same time
You called it the fire
And I called it home
All the sap on our skin
Stained golden
Distilled by a bedouine
You called it the sun
And I called it home
You called it the fire
Am I alone?
When we were pitching the warmth
Putting out all but what we should live for
You called it the right thing
And I called it cold
And I felt my soul ring
Is this home?

I Know It's You

There are times I've wondered if we were just born to die
When my feet were on the earth but I was crashing with the tides
In a storm I called you begging for a change
I couldn't take the water muddying my brain
I have tried to fight you and wasted all my strength
But I'm lost in all the answers that I thought you gave
Oh I know, it's you
Heaven is a heartache that I've begged to pass me by
But ready is a word I've weakened my whole life
Oh I know it's you
Oh I know, it's you
