Murmuring
03:04
|
|||
|
Feeling frantic again
what is all this for anyway?
a dangerous place, untrustworthy
I don't want to miss anything anymore
it stays light too long
the yard's gentle murmuring
I don't want to miss anything anymore
where have you dwelt?
on what are you dwelling?

2. |
Hopelessness
02:25
|
|||
|
I woke up wrong
Hopelessness pacing the room
Will worry forever destroy me
Early night is familiar
It's buried in my body
Beneath the leaves
on my forest floor
nothing's as it should be
nothing's as it should be
|
||||
3. |
Red Kitchen
02:33
|
|||
|
The night will look into my eyes
and see everything
nothing to hide
All things will be
held warmly and recognized
in a red kitchen, all lit up
with everyone that I've ever loved
If I didn't carry this around
|
||||
4. |
Protection I
02:19
|
|||
|
No stone
or leaf
Or pause before I speak
It's where I felt safe
In silences and open space
How long in the in-between?
Uncomfortable with this new clarity
In change
Houses get torn apart
Days were dull
I am not calm
|
||||
5. |
Protection II
03:23
|
|||
|
now
here I am
grasping at the shreds
unconsciously repeating it
and not remembering
just fragments of an old thing
lodged in this weird descending
how will I protect myself?
will I go anywhere in this awareness
subtle and fleeting
momentary understanding
is that everything and everyone?
how will I protect myself?
|
||||
6. |
Water
02:45
|
|||
|
I dreamt my voice was
high and crystalline
This new world
every bit as desolate
I'll watch the birds
and place the sounds of each of them
Water
overflow
out into the yard
I wash my face in the grass
wake up sweat drenched again
There is a place but I only know this one there is a shape at the edge of my mind moving slowly closer formless unrealized formless and unrealized
|
||||
7. |
Saltless
02:57
|
|||
|
Torn from myself again
How will I inhabit this?
How to live in anything?
What state is this?
Fleeting, fallow time
I woke up in the night again
Release your hold on me
Ugly and gripping
Disconnect from my body
Won't be a black hole
I have trouble being in myself
Every creak and groan
That echoes through the house
Internalized
It's saltless and puzzling
|
||||
8. |
Carefully
02:48
|
|||
|
Unceasing
"I'll be fine"
With whatever happens
Got closed off, frightened
No mystery left to find
In the flat glare of blue light
Reflected in my eyes
Will my body live in tension
Will I carry doubt through my life
I'll treat it carefully

such a beautiful and heartfelt record. A Lingering gives that certain feeling of nostalgia that just hits different.
