you will strike his head my brother is closer to you all that i do could not change that while you push me away my brother stays in your presence when will this sun set to darkness my brother is closer to me he is my blood he could not change that he pushes me away i want to stay in his presence the sun falls in the west to darkness my brother’s blood dries now it stains my skin it stains my spirit sweat still falls from his face but in his chest i hear no beating you could have stopped my knife you didn’t i am lost i am lost

to the sky 03:24
to the sky i know (please don’t say) repetition won’t help i’ll show (can you stay) it’s not superstition i’ve felt you’ll see (i swear i know) how it feels on that shelf i can’t be (please don’t go) someone other than myself i’ve heard (we’ll increase) of your promised paradise you’ve observed (wait at least)our weight upon the ice you’re not (you’re deluded)orpheus with his lyre i’m not (don’t refute it) eurydice in the fire (let me in where have you been) let me go you’ll never know (the music ceased an empty feast one note at least fore you’re increased) you dream (dreams are hollow) that i fall into the sky you see (what will follow) an end within my eyes i long (please don’t) to take wing and fly keep strong (please don’t) you’re a better friend than i (let me in where have you been) let me go you’ll never know

no light // no heat i left him a heaping mass of clothe i made him promise to never take it off keep warm the winter’s unforgiving and what life with no light no heat could ever be worth living when i offered him my food he lied i’m not hungry it’s maybe been one week one month since last i saw him eat keep warm the winter’s unforgiving and what life with no light no heat could ever be worth living (there’s one fate in all things) i move with hatred in my feet for this wind is unrelenting it’s resenting it’s preventing any heat keep warm the winter’s unforgiving and what life with no light no heat could ever be worth living (there’s one fate in all things) when i returned my man was still asleep his warmth was flowing had flown out into the street keep warm the winter’s unforgiving and what life with no light no heat could ever be worth living (there’s one fate in all things)

second star 03:03
second star still don’t know if i can say it out loud that i’ll never see you in this crowd singing back at me louder than the rest i can’t say it i’ll leave it in my chest look out your window to the night see her flying to the second star to the right your father grabbed me holding up the line wiped my tears looked me in the eyes you mother joined him and your sister too they told me what i already knew you’re burning brighter but you’ll never last you’re moving faster your time will never pass (look out your window see her fly) look out your window to the night see her flying to the second star to the right one whole year and i still see you in my sleep there’s the rub but do you ever dream of me at the church we gathered and we cried we knew you fell we didn’t know you’d fly you’re burning brighter but you’ll never last you’re moving faster your time will never pass (look out your window see her fly) look out your window to the night see her flying to the second star to the right

light // heat i was thrown into the desert to war with men i’ve never met how am i to bring them death when i’d rather die myself take this world for yourself i went out into the desert to see what i could find mirages everywhere i’ll lose my mind still i can’t see you take this world for yourself i sold you you were my brother i said that i’d keep you safe i sold you you were my brother i gave you away

a campfire tale in a cloudless land east of the sea a boneless blowing wind moves a war chief the camel king betrays his brother the quiet royal sheep saying deep beneath the violences toward the lamb is one who surely brings this fury upon the land it was not me he lied to the people it was the lamb he cried to the people and with stoic reciprocity one rose against our king’s hypocrisy with a cry like a vicious wind upon the land he said i am hated therefore i am and he led a gang of soldiers out into the field when the brothers met where abel lie and the moon brought in the rising tide both of the brothers knew their first father was on their side it was not me he lied to the people it was the lamb he cried to the people and with stoic reciprocity we rise against our king’s hypocrisy we will rise with the people we will rise with the people he will fall with the water he will fall with the water

7 x 7 02:49
7x7 look skyward recognize that size your eyes’ regrets have yet to end our compromise elsewhere on cold stairs in disrepair i shave my hair in response to your blank stare a ditch-dog tethered to a wounded deer dear G-d this personal storm lasted our longest year i called your father’s toupee a rococo hoax with fierce dispassion you reply this is no time for jokes the music ceased an empty feast one note at least fore your soul’s increased soliciting heaven seven by seven the repetition it involves raises a doubt it never solves soliciting heaven seven by seven you know i can’t absolve you what would that resolve soliciting heaven seven by seven did Icarus commit suicide thinking that the sun was on his side soliciting heaven seven by seven to this earth are we bound and tied from falling upward to the sky 1st time i dreamed it’s so pretentious i want to say but don’t know how to prevent this you took to flight i couldn’t follow with hollow bones swallowing air dancing with swallows i was deluded i felt betrayed you couldn’t refute it you flew away increasingly dismayed the sun will burn the water drown crowning achievements won’t save you now as you fall down the music ceased an empty feast one note at least fore your soul’s increased soliciting heaven seven by seven the repetition it involves raises a doubt it never solves soliciting heaven seven by seven you know i can’t absolve you what would that resolve soliciting heaven seven by seven did Icarus commit suicide thinking that the sun was on his side soliciting heaven seven by seven to this earth are we bound and tied from falling upward to the sky just to be near you i need to be near you

a planet in isolation just to be near you i need to be near you

vapor 04:42
vapor invading your garden still you welcome me you know of my betrayal still you welcome me i kiss you you tell me in your garden that you’re the son of man you promise your believers that you’re the son of man i leave you i wander in your garden how could this all be true why did i believe you how could this all be true i sell you shouting in your garden you did this to me we both hang from a tree you did this to me i loved you when i survey the wondrous cross on which the prince of glory died my richest gains i count but loss and pour contempt on all my pride see from his head his hands his feet sorrow and love flow mingled down did e’er such love and sorrow meet or thorns compose so rich a crown

from the clouds your blood drains out flowing out through my veins now your blood drains out and i can’t wash my hands of this mess i watched you burn standing now in the ashes i watched you burn and i can’t wash my hands of this mess i’m falling now out from the clouds with the water i’m falling now and i can’t wash my hands of this mess i’ve heard it said i’ll see your face and rejoice i’ve heard it said but i’m not so sure for myself i’m not so sure of myself i’m not so sure of you

progress 04:52
progress i can't see you (i can’t see you) anymore i can’t hear you (i can’t hear you) anymore if i can’t see you how do i know that you see me do you see me anymore i say give me a sign but i know that i’m blind and you’ve given me so many i fall on my knees and i shout please take this burden this burden i carry show me your face i’m losing my faith
