Sky Song 03:39
The sky unfolded slowly like a statement hanging in the dusk air and I'll unfold the morning as though it's a message from her The sky unfolded slowly like the evening singing in the past's air and I'll enfold the morning as though it were one of her breaths The sky exploded slowly like a statement burning in the dusk air and I'll unfold the morning at the end of all my time here If we could stop the turning I'd stay here with you, cheating scant years so fly into the morning and you'll see that I will be there

What tears cannot do: the sound of rain that goes in the door. eating fossils for fuel: the strangest manes machines wore. I'm told you can save all of our lives. We can only hold the inland night. What words cannot do: you found the thing you never looked for. You knew it's all true: that you'd bring us to some hidden shore. I know you can save all of our lives. We can always hold the inland night.

Only three more days and then the scars are gone. All the trouble started with our stars in song. Secret houses where the music played all night. Freezing angels huddle in a sky of ice. Miles of forest hemming in your truest face. Fall below the stars you served with rueful grace. Pressure waves roll through the giant soundless night. One more way left while the stars are still alight.

Now I finally figured out how you must've killed us all There's a secret passageway where you leaped into the wall Memories scattered like startled birds when you hit me on the head. I woke up with amnesia but I also woke up dead. You could get from place to place unseen by everyone Tried so hard not to leave a trace when you leaped into the sun I followed you like an unheard wind and wrapped around your mind When you tried to remember anything there was nothing left to find

Don't go outside until you've heard us out. Don't go outside until you hear a shout. Don't go outside until you hear us out. Don't go outside until you figure out.

Persephone 06:56
Going under, winding seasons down torn asunder, falling underground Growing under, 'till the next time round winter suns her, dreaming underground Growing under, 'till the next time round torn asunder, winding seasons down Going under, winding seasons down torn asunder, 'till the next time round Winter suns her, dreaming underground

Edward Gorey 02:01
Edna Beforethington was drawn to the short but handsome stranger. But given the way her pet eel reacted to him, she sensed danger. She met him for seaweed ice cream, and spiked his dish with love potion. The next day, he cleaned her pet eel's glass eye to show her his devotion.

Everything in here goes out there like mosaics leaving codes in the fall air Everything in here sweeps into me my own swirling world of sepia sanctuary Everything's made of leaves No one ever sees Breathing under trees, we go out there with winter stars like diamonds in our hair the secret path into the secret place so sleep beneath the trees and dream of my face. Everything's made of leaves No one ever sees Everyone's made of leaves

Wake up and slide into the sea of dawn the morning sky sings us its new pale song the ocean's breath pulls us into its mind the growing light immense in silence hides Wait for the sun to rise before you go in The myth-strewn tides in distance clear and long its further side is lost to all not gone The morning sea lets us into its song I cleave to you beneath the sky of dawn. Wait for the sun to rise before you go in. Wake up and slide into the sea of dawn I cleave to you within the ocean's song.

Summer Came 02:09
Someone came and dragged me away through places morningfall turned to grey A key was whispered into my dreams something about which the twilight seems Summer came and dragged me away summer ran through the night and day The key was laughter in falling rings to find the place where the twilight sings

I walk into the sky, a hundred skies in front of me I walk into the sky, a hundred skies above the sea I walk into the sky, a hundred skies in front of me Welcome to the sky, a hundred skies above the sea I want you to slide behind the sky I want you to find me in a guise I want you to hide me in the sky I want you to thrive behind the lie (I don't want you to find me in the sky, I don't want you to find me in the sky, I don't want you to find me in the sky, I don't want you to find me in the sky) I walk into the sky, a hundred skies in front of me I walk into the sky in disguise, and all I see I walk into the sky, into the sky behind the sea I walk into the sky, into the sky, and all I see A hundred skies in front A hundred skies in front A hundred skies in front of me I want you to thrive behind the sea

Map out the motions of stars until you know Blanket the ocean with stars before you go Blanket the ocean with stars before you go (offer this dust speck all the truth that you know) I see you there I see you there See symbols in the trees and then let us know see symbols in the trees and then let us know see symbols in the trees...

You can go in sight of the Shimmering Gateway. You can go inside through the Shimmering Gateway.

What they don't remember is, I'm not you yet all those strange old winter skies caught in your net What they don't remember is, I'm not you here all those strange and secret things happen elsewhere Hold onto the things we can't afford to forget that's why you've got skies of past years in your net At the final hour when dusk comes calling you'll release them just to hear them all sing Be brave, be brave The evening will soon become now.
