Imyourfan<3 I cannot say how exactly I found this Band, but I think there was a House Remix of a track from MIT. However, this Band and their Music save my life. I'm going trough a lot actually and struggle with my Life, but I'm Grateful for this Masterpiece of an Album. ❤️ Favorite track: I Come With Mud.

1.
I come with mud From yellow bogs Pulling on calves Oh, I come with love East shores afar Fumbling on par The sound of long gone brains To keep me awayke I stepped off the shoe blade To reach your wispy glade The breath of earth calls to me Whispers soothe tenderly Touched with interest, I see Nature's grace, bound to be
2.
Why go through the drawers? Things have mellowed out Before I spent my teens afool Let my mother down Few days No school Was there more I could have done? Maybe left the race I’d won… Did I miss the last train home? Too late To change Or stay the same Was there more I could have done? Thirty days are still a month… All my candles weigh as none Too late To change Or stay the same

Bethlehem 03:19
I see myself Beyond deadlands Where trees of health Void lines of age No sullen air No requiem In Bethlehem Eternal light Of womanhood Supernal might, Draw me to good A long way, Far from the mayhem, In Bethlehem Through grief, I climb The toll of time, A solemn flight Beacon of sight My private love My silent song In Bethlehem Created world Inside one pearl And every grace All in one place To trickle down Dust on the low grounds No flooded plains No borough flames For heaven’s perch Or mankind’s scourge In Bethlehem My private love song
4.
Frost Bite 02:41
What Kind of marvel could heal, My hardly steering heels? Here, no more crucifix or naves But cypress are standing Trapped in the claws of the bear And I wonder, Will all things be empty again? All things empty again Bare hands with my winter fears Cold ‘til it burns You’ll be blowing away the frost bites When we’ll return What Kind of marvel could heal, My hardly steering heels? Here, no more crucifix or naves Cypress are standing
5.
Rain pours down To drown And wash my world Anew, Subdue, All I thought I knew Heavenly flow Why, you don’t know The earthly burn below? Sweetest honey Why, don’t you see How much you mean to me? You are my peace The chill draws so near And I fear The time when trees Shed dry leaves, Old psalms and dreams To own My hooded eves Alone Put that voice at ease Heavenly flow Why, you don’t know The earthly burn below? Sweetest honey Why, don’t you see How much you mean to me? You are my peace Hold me close, don’t let me fade Tell me truths the earth won’t trade Do you feel you’re slipping too? I’m lost in you And I miss my home Heavenly flow Why, you don’t know The earthly burn below Sweetest honey Why, don’t you see How much you mean to me You are my peace
6.
Morning dew on cherry trees Fruits that carry tears The soul and heart retrieves So many stories, many deeds About the man who grafted breeds Instead of sowing seeds And he lives on, in the land’s memories I found myself, at home away from home This soil, both far and known The Sun intones as life and death goes on The ground I thread around Strong arms nurtured heart and kin Care in every seed Taught them how to grow within Gentle hands that shaped the earth Alive and gave it worth With love, a lasting birth I Found myself, at home away from home This soil, both far and known The Sun intones as life and death goes on The ground I thread around

Purple Box 02:54
No trouble anymore And I float on the road Mattress still on the porch With your purple box, heart of stone I’m still glad you were born I remember it all But in my weak chest’s a thorn I’m a tired child, a cannonball Steep turn, sharp right, night falls Then I do need you “Please be careful what you wish for” Rings in my mind every time I go When I’m back I could write If I write, then I’ll sing Songs where we both belong Sketching block, of things unworn You’re faithful like a dog And I’m you’re sworn friend too You also make some things easier Like brand new shoes, September Alone still no surprise I do want you I’ll sleep now and when I wake up again We’ll find the names to call these things the same No troubles anymore And I float on the road Your mattress still on the porch You, with your purple box And tell me how’s your heart of stone?

Petit homme, mais que veux-tu? Petit homme, que veux-tu? Petit homme, que veux-tu? Petit homme? Petit homme, mais que veux-tu? Petit homme, que veux-tu? Petit homme, que veux-tu? Petit homme?

Girl (2025) 03:31
Girl In Love, My heart may be Laced Girl, My Bird, Tell me stories ‘bout a better place to be Let yourself free J’ai cru t’entendre à plein d’endroits Mais les paroles fuyaient mes pas C’est le malheur ou bien la chance Ça n’a plus d’importance Je vais ici, je vais là-bas Mais je ne l’ai pas encore trouvée Cette liberté dont tu m’as tant, Chanté ce jour-là

Burrow 03:02
Bellyful She lies with roots before bed- Timeless, entwined Weightless in kind Outside the womb renewed Too soon Old age and youth Da Capo In truth So, from now on there’s No joy, no grief Pious like a thief With one hand, you take and give Mercy, you sorely will be missed Down here Low Felt your spleen move in mine In the landslide of your care Birds of breath undermined Blow away, it’s only fair Choir winds climb above Hosts of men that dwell on earth Carving bedrock into the deep That no music reach their sleep, so No joy, no grief Burrowed like a beast With one hand, you tame and pierce Mercy, you sorely will be missed Down here Low
11.
Everything Is pale and shining here The sun's biting my forehead Oh, water shines too I fear It could swallow me whole The constant wind Washes everything near So, I forgot what they said Reeds glistening with dew So sleek I feel far from the shoals When my hand's gone, you'll be the same You're unlike anything I know You're still the one that can't be tamed Never convinced you to follow Sheltered so you can't hear the blame Oh, tell me how far should I go I Could be somebody else And you'll meet me like a new day You wished for, with all things new Brighter, and the one I would follow like the child I was before I was before Before I knew When my hand's gone, you'll be the same You're unlike anything I know You're still the one that can't be tamed Never convinced you to follow Sheltered so you can't hear the blame Oh, tell me how far should I go
12.
I don’t like music Why can’t I care? I lost the gold on my wrist Should send for it, But it’s gone, don’t know where In the 5th corner I see you Juggling with all your precious truths I’m hollow and blood thick Hush so you don’t leave a nick On your lips No heaven hideout No drop of grace, left inside of me I’ll drink eat and die then, Lest I meet poise, in all the noise I remember the smoke, the late sun I can tolerate, and all at once I hear them; the old songs A precious smell, fading out, Then it’s gone I don’t like music Why can’t I care? I lost the gold on my wrist Should send for it, But it’s gone, don’t know where
