Slow Moon 04:06
Come a little closer dear It's a streelight kind of game And move a little slower now We'll waltz until the curtsey of the night Cause there's a little moth on a broken cross Wondering how to steal the night And there's an open room with a born cocoon Finding shade to shield the fight Slow moon, Slow moon, Slow moon, Slow moon, So, feel me from a distance dear The streetlight spotlight is closing down Laugh a little harder now Cause I ain't foolin' around Cause there's a little moth on a broken cross Wondering how to steal the night And there's an open room with a born cocoon Finding shade to shield the fight Slow moon, Slow moon, Slow moon, Slow moon,

No Signs 03:43
I don't know why you come back here Catchin' little things Ego flooded mama's floor and burned the sparrow's wings I don't know why you come back here Lyin' through your teeth Hiding every time ain't right by me (2x) Come down now child Don't be afraid You've got your wills You've got your ways Then your mouth draws a line Between your face and mine Now you're runnin' away Through disappearing alleways Then your mouth draws a line Between your face and mine And I'll meet you someday In disappearing alleyways You bring me clocks That show no sign A nameless face That runs on pride I don't know why you come back here Catchin' little things Ego flooded mama's floor and burned the sparrow's wings I don't know why you come back here Lyin' through your teeth Hiding every time ain't right by me (2x)

Libation 03:12
Have you met my savior I wear his old tee With the butterfly emblem That goes down to my knees He gave me a stone once It lives on a chain I haven't held that necklace Since the day he went away And no one believes me, No one believes me He hosts a party on every full moon Gives a toast to a long life With every libation consumed His kingdom is castaway Though his presence remains The lineage is breaking down And pulsing in my veins And no one believes me, No one believes me Once in a while, I stroll through the circle gate he left for me He left for me Once in a while, I barter for another glimpse of his estate Oh what he made With this libation let us live a long life (4x) Have you met my savior I wear his old tee With the butterfly emblem That goes down to my knees

Vessels 04:49
She's gonna marry a rich man and settle by the sea play out her heart til it dies and never be free Oh tell me when does it end where do we draw the line between love and settlin oh the devil on my shoulder, he plays pretend catches my eye when I least expect but no regrets I'll never regret, no She'll give up pride for passion in every tainted moment collects vessels on the shore wishing they were hers Oh tell me when does it end where do we draw the line between love and settlin oh the devil on my shoulder, he plays pretend catches my eye when I least expect but no regrets I'll never regret, no How long will it take to feel alone the silent preacher is all I have to hold always singin my hymnals into the folds but everything is movin How long will it take to feel alone the silent preacher is all I have to hold always singin my hymnals into the folds but everything is static when the bible turns to stone I'll never regret Echo part: (Your voice will never grow If you leave they'll never know everything you've known tries to take control)

There was water in the pigeon hole boiling rocks and breathing steam and there was cotton in the hurricane braiding telephone wires along the way So take note of the silence seek shelter in cars birds fly from the treetops saying the storm isn't far I've been staring at mountains waiting for them to come but now that I'm on top I know that there's nowhere to run I've been staring at mountains waiting for them to come but now that I'm on top I know that there's nowhere to run And the spirits are confused used to me looking down I'm used to it too but the sky has been soakin' up my blue Yeah the sky has been soakin' up my blue They brought needles to the other side rumors get lost in the hay counting clouds against the fool on the hill no sunny disposition keeps me dry So take note of the silence seek shelter in cars birds fly from the treetops saying the storm isn't far I've been staring at mountains waiting for them to come but now that I'm on top I know that there's nowhere to run I've been staring at mountains waiting for them to come but now that I'm on top I know that there's nowhere to run And the spirits are confused used to me looking down I'm used to it too but the sky has been soakin' up my blue Yeah the sky has been soakin' up my blue The sky has been soakin' up my blue...
