happiest day 05:18
1. I woke up to the happiest day of my life and in the pale blue light, morning rain rubbing down} -- silent invocation 2. {I’m gonna ride into town and explain myself through the passionate groves in the shade My median space is overgrown leaving the town, I wish I stayed but I can’t restrain myself x2 Far removed from the cracks, wide open space the hairpins pretend to be born Pass on through the gate, see where my head goes led me all the way to my house: Where I woke up and noticed things were strange (echo) Adgilis Deda, where’ve you gone? Hope for rain, lines are drawn I rolled my windows down and took a life (echo) and when I look outside it’s my oh my oh my x2} --- country krautrock 3. {We woke up to the saddest day of our lives suspended by a sunbeam that dried all our clothes Please return us to the wilds I left behind Riding in my brand new car, windows shut to watch the days go by} --- spaces between notes 4. p(pet sounds) ---intrepid melody--- //// ---wide open gate--- 5. {I took my kids down to the pool the leaves are turning red my house is getting cold x2 I opened my gmail, it’s all on the cloud How am I supposed to drive home? How am I getting home?

place-mother 05:30
1. Made a line from a tree to the soil deposit spirits on the forest floor The fox comes to bite your back, face down in the violence, I know the god you found How about if we don’t? Speak voices in the mouths of mammals mother doesn’t choose How about if we don’t Break bread, broken bones 2. While the space is filled with leaves Muted rain, the spirit finds release “I can’t get away, my God no I can’t get away from you” (aba re) 4. Place-mother is watching over the wild ones I need some sleep to breach the divide between and fall (cradled) in the crests 5. Oh, the highs and lows are just a pole apart from unity Find her there, torn from the rest set on the path to close the wound in me How about if we don’t? (close the wound in me) x2 How about if we made gods of ourselves I know the god you found ~/;;/~ Strings beholden to nothing ~/;;/~

weather row 06:08
A. {Weather Row, undertow split by trains Holy space free to vibrate, mind the nodes wet is the wound, and the rails are the seam} B. {Weather Row, you’ve invoked my sorrow hear this calling, recited always Running out of data, watch them sweep like the Neva, flow out the western side Gonna be genocide, miles and miles are wired I’m all clear the world is freer x2} --- syncopation C. {A bird can fly alone, I breathe a bird can have a home in me: It hasn’t flown home; the world is borne we built you from the ground descending down are the pale blue showers wipe away lines I traced Happy smiles, fear the flood raining down I scurry on back to my hole x2} --- fly like an arrow A. {Weather Row, undertow drained of rain wetlands pay in fibers pulled apart and splayed Where is the estuary, o Weather Row?} ;; Break ;; B. {Weather row, to invoke the ending the pendulum has stopped and the air’s suspended Wide eyed gazing through the lens, I’m a telescope Hey, it’s alright baby}

untitled 04:20
1. {Keepsakes last forever, a rocking chair and a sweater by a restless door that’ll swing between again Prop a gate at the bend for Aisling} (impatient on the one) 2. {A draft with a voice mixed in through the latch what will keep one warm if the thread doesn’t catch? On the floor by the altar, born of a liminal vein to be worn like a shawl, unwoven strain} --- sweater catches fire /;;/ Strings /;;/ 4. {There is comfort in isolation while the climate inside grows impatient carrying whispers of wind, passing shivers through the trees it’s the only perfect melody} 5. {We find ourselves in silence bathing in perfect stillness a beckoning sight, there is beauty in saying goodbye but I’ll keep myself to myself this time} --- Return

baker's day 05:56
1. {A child was a girl one day --- strings sans band passing flowers from hand to hand {now the worship would change, while the shrines stay the same} and the median is overgrown She was left alone today in a hole having hidden away there was no one to pray to anyway we all wanted a Baker’s Day} 2. {Господи, воззвах к Тебе, услыши мя. / Услыши мя, Господи. Господи, воззвах к Тебе, услыши мя: / вонми гласу моления моего, / внегда воззвати ми к Тебе. / Услыши мя, Господи. Да исправится молитва моя, / яко кадило пред Тобою, / воздеяние руку моею / – жертва вечерняя. / Услыши мя, Господи.} // Break // 4. {You left a window cracked the wind came and blew me back when I opened my eyes the storm did subside but the weather hadn’t changed} 5. {There was a face that passed a forgotten name etched in the glass when the windows in this home all break We will call it the Baker’s Day}

1. If the sails run wide, they are meant to leave Mars on We’ll be back, Adeline, I’m terrified of changes I don’t wanna know if it’s true, but if they lines I drew are new… Then the wound is the path to the seam to behold the circumstance through a thin blue screen in the sea pulling back for a share of the shore 2. When the ending frays, I’ll settle down for the ships to play There’s a gaping hole in my certainty we’ll go back maybe, if just to fill the spaces I wanna go home, but it’s hard. The path was in the dark Hiding out at the gate where the bend folds in To pass would indeed be to flow, the seam is sown in It’s heavy out there, anything can propagate the space I left for the sound to find you ~~://{æ}\\:~~ Serpentine Adeline, borderline by design Murmur by open mind, passing into the light 3. And so it’s all for me to gaze upon yeah it’s all for you too, if you choose Left with all this latent forming now it’s all brand new This has been... ~/;:+:;/~ At the behest ~/;:+:;/~
