Pale Pretty Light

I made a lantern for you last night
I felt it quiver when it took to the sky
It looked back at me with a sad little face
Told me it wanted to leave from this place
Knew I was losing your pale pretty light
Getting smaller and ever so bright
Somewhere quiet you'll shiver in space
Next time I'll wrap you in leather and lace
Feel me reach into the clouds
I will never drag you down again

Wolves Abound

I hope you sleep tight
Through the howling, snowy giants tonights
Pulling phone lines to the ground
We are wolves abound
Run for your life
Don't get caught in the middle of the pack
You'll freeze away
And when you close your eyes
They'll sneak past you, but their steps will split the skies
Breaking trees is a horrible sound
We are wolves abound
Run for your life
I am taking cover under your bed
I've got cans of soup to last through the winter

Dig me out
I've heard you're gone
Can't fall asleep
Without your song
Stripes and button eyes
Your felted tongue don't advertise
Two by two
Letters in our hair
Who are we
If not a pair?

Totem Pole
01:36
|

|
I saw a creature in the window
So I went and grabbed my gun
And at sunrise in the morning
I fired at no one
Your totem pole can't fool me
Its wood is peeking through
All the paint and all the varnish
Be silent and be true
I aimed my pistol to the ceiling
I felt you on the roof
Well I guess I'll go to sleep now
Your coat was bulletproof

No Brook Too Wide

"My ring is gone!"
Wolves spinning underwater
Hiding between stones
They're big enough to drag the boat down
And strong enough to break my bones
Do I run away?
I don't want to wake up in the belly of the beast alone
So I'll wait here at the dock
With my net cast out in front
I could save the people
I could lead the hunt

Someday in a House

Someday in a house
You'll be older than you've ever dreamed
It's so sweet to be
So many years behind
I close my eyes and I see
You falling backwards, you tipping over
A quiet place you found
Breathing oxygen
Breathing in again

this is like genuinely 144 moments to have inside you . like every lyric is a moment you get to be in. every musical desicion feels like a choice like picking where to go for a walk. the park? the school?. a choice made for you. I feelfear my life paralysed before this album and all I am being is greatful quietly a stream of mice scurrying out of my mouth maybe I'll find comfort in the little things *passes out dramatically*
