It might be over soon, soon, soon
Where you gonna look for confirmation?
And if it's ever gonna happen
So as I'm standing at the station
It might be over soon
(All these years)
There I find you marked in constellation (two, two)
There isn't ceiling in our garden
And then I draw an ear on you
So I can speak into the silence
It might be over soon (two, do, two)
(Two, do, two, two, do, two)
(And I'm gonna shout all my trouble over)
Oh and I have carried consecration
And then you expelled all decision
As I may stand up with the vision
Caught daylight, goddamn right
Within our eyes there lies a scission
(It might be over soon)

10 Death/Breast
Fe, fever rest
Fever rest
I cut you in
Deafening
Fever rest
(Darling didn't love right)
I've been sleeping in a stable, mate
Not gonna do you no favors
What I got is seen you trying
Or take it down the old lanes around
F*ckified
Darling don't make love
Fight it
Love, don't fight it
Love, don't fight it
Love
Well I'll wrap you up
And I take it by the touch
Darling don't a failure fright
Times the raker
And I'll rack it up
I'm unorphaned in our northern lights
Dedicoding every daemon
Taken in the tall grass of the mountain cable
And I cannot seem to find I'm able
Fever rest
I cut you in
Deafening
Fever rest
(Darling didn't love right)
I've been sleeping in a stable, mate
Not gonna do you no favors
What I got is seen you trying
Or take it down the old lanes around
F*ckified
Darling don't make love
Fight it
Love, don't fight it
Love, don't fight it
Love
Well I'll wrap you up
And I take it by the touch
Darling don't a failure fright
Times the raker
And I'll rack it up
I'm unorphaned in our northern lights
Dedicoding every daemon
Taken in the tall grass of the mountain cable
And I cannot seem to find I'm able

715 - Creeks
Down along the creek
I remember something
Her, the heron hurried away
When first I breeched that last Sunday, ooh
Low moon don the yellow road
I remember something
That leaving wasn't easing all that heaving in my vines
And as certain it is evening at is now is not the time, ooh
Toiling with your blood
I remember something
In B, unrationed kissing on a night second to last
Finding both your hands as second sun came past the glass
And oh, I know it felt right and I had you in my grasp
Oh then, how we gonna cry?
'Cause it once might not mean something?
Love, a second glance, it is not something that we'll need
Honey, understand that I have been left here in the reeds
But all I'm trying to do is get my feet out from the crease
And I see you
Turn around, you're my A Team
Turn around, now you're my A Team
God damn, turn around now
You're my A Team
I remember something
Her, the heron hurried away
When first I breeched that last Sunday, ooh
Low moon don the yellow road
I remember something
That leaving wasn't easing all that heaving in my vines
And as certain it is evening at is now is not the time, ooh
Toiling with your blood
I remember something
In B, unrationed kissing on a night second to last
Finding both your hands as second sun came past the glass
And oh, I know it felt right and I had you in my grasp
Oh then, how we gonna cry?

Honey, understand that I have been left here in the reeds
But all I'm trying to do is get my feet out from the crease

Turn around, now you're my A Team
God damn, turn around now
You're my A Team

33 GOD
(When we leave this room it's gone)
Is the company stalling?
We had what we wanted: your eyes
(When we leave this room it's gone)
With no word from the former
I'd be happy as hell if you stayed for tea
(I know so well that this is all there is)
This is how we grow now, woman
A child ignored
These will just be places to me now
The foreman is down
(When we leave this room it's gone)
We're rising the stairs
(I find God)
(And religion, too)
Staying at the Ace Hotel, if the calm would allow
Then I would just be floating to you now
It would make me pass to let it pass on
I'm climbing the dash, that skin
(Here in this room, this narrow room)
(Where life began when we were young last night)
Well we walked up on that bolt in the street
After you tied me in in the driveway of the apartment of his bede
Sent your sister home in a cab
Said I would've walked across any thousand lands
(No, not really if you can't)
I didn't need you that night
Not gonna need you anytime
Was gonna take it as it goes
I could go forward in the light
Well I better fold my clothes
(I've been looking through your mind)
(All my goodness)
(I've been looking through your mind)
(I've been looking through your mind)
(All my goodness to show)
(Why are you so far from saving me?)
(Why are you so far from saving me?)
Is the company stalling?
We had what we wanted: your eyes
(When we leave this room it's gone)
With no word from the former
I'd be happy as hell if you stayed for tea
(I know so well that this is all there is)
This is how we grow now, woman
A child ignored
These will just be places to me now
The foreman is down

It might be over soon, soon, soon
Where you gonna look for confirmation?
And if it's ever gonna happen
So as I'm standing at the station
It might be over soon
(All these years)
There I find you marked in constellation (two, two)
There isn't ceiling in our garden
And then I draw an ear on you
So I can speak into the silence
It might be over soon (two, do, two)
It might be over soon (two, do, two)
(Two, do, two, two, do, two)
(It might be over soon)
(Two, do, two, two, do, two)
(It might be over soon)
(And I'm gonna shout all my trouble over)
Oh and I have carried consecration
And then you expelled all decision
As I may stand up with a vision
Caught daylight, goddamn right
Within our eyes there lies a scission
(It might be over soon)
Where you gonna look for confirmation?

666 (upsidedowncross)
Sixes hang in the door
What kind of shit to ignore
I've cut the cloth
(Ooo, hard line circle)
How to know who to write
How to know who can cull up all the questions
(We know that I'm right, cease)
To clean out a night
I fell in love
I heard about it
I heard about it
I heard about it
No
And so it's not in your clasp
What's the function or the task
Well, I'd stun and I'd stammer
Help me reach the hammer
(For then what will I ask)
That's a pair of them docks
Mooring out two separate lochs
Ain't that some kind of quandary
Take me into your palms
What is left when unhungry
I learned about it
I learned about it
I've learned about it
No
I'm still standing in
Still standing in the need of the prayer
The need of prayer
No, I don't know the path
Or what kind of pith I've amassed
Long lines of questions
Lessons (lessons)
Lessons, lessons
What do you lose to concede?
And yes it's hard to believe
When 'em sold from your sleeve
Just come off of your kneel
Please, please, please
I can admit to conceal
No, that's not how that's supposed to feel
Oh, no
(It's not for broader appeal)
F*ck the fashion of it, dear
I've laughed about it
I've laughed about it
I've laughed about it
No
What kind of shit to ignore
I've cut the cloth
(Ooo, hard line circle)
How to know who to write
How to know who can cull up all the questions
(We know that I'm right, cease)
To clean out a night
I fell in love
I heard about it
I heard about it
I heard about it
No
And so it's not in your clasp
What's the function or the task
Well, I'd stun and I'd stammer
Help me reach the hammer

That's a pair of them docks
Mooring out two separate lochs
Ain't that some kind of quandary
Take me into your palms
What is left when unhungry
I learned about it
I learned about it
I've learned about it
No

Still standing in the need of the prayer
The need of prayer

The math ahead
The math behind it
It's moon water
The math ahead
The math behind
Moon water
Remomrize numb
And half the hum
For moon water
I'd hide Berlin
To run and find it
Moon water
The path ahead
The path behind it
It's moon water
The math behind it
It's moon water
The math ahead
The math behind
Moon water
Remomrize numb
And half the hum
For moon water
I'd hide Berlin
To run and find it
Moon water
The path ahead
The path behind it
It's moon water

Philosophize your figure
What I have and haven't held
You called and I came, stayed tall through it all
Fall and fixture just the same thing
Say nothing of my fable, no
What on earth is left to come
Who's agonized and gnawed through it all
I'm underneath your tongue
I'm standing in your street now, no
And I carry his guitar
And I can't recall it lightly at all
But I know I'm going in
Too much for me to pick up, no
Not sure what forgiveness is
We've galvanized the squall of it all
I can leave behind the harbor
I will run (all around it)
Have to crawl (still can't stop it)
Along the fires
One more time just pass me by
I'ma make it half the night
Hall light wishes
To walk aside your favor
I'm an Astuary King
I'll keep in a cave, your comfort and all
Unburdened and becoming
I will run (all around it)
(Sailing off and on, you're on your honor)
Have to crawl
(Carry off and up your seize) still can't
I will run (carry up love along unfettered time)
Now Mona, now Mona
Haven't I locked up my failure (sailing off and ore your odd, your honor)
From the core to the sky
Wouldn't I be last to see? (Carry off and up your seize)
From the door 'til we die
Deny with love my labor (carry up with love a long)
Was it all I could find (we live outside)
Keep waking up high
What I have and haven't held
You called and I came, stayed tall through it all
Fall and fixture just the same thing
Say nothing of my fable, no
What on earth is left to come
Who's agonized and gnawed through it all
I'm underneath your tongue
I'm standing in your street now, no
And I carry his guitar
And I can't recall it lightly at all
But I know I'm going in
Too much for me to pick up, no
Not sure what forgiveness is
We've galvanized the squall of it all
I can leave behind the harbor
I will run (all around it)
Have to crawl (still can't stop it)

1000000 Million
Must've been forces, that took me on them wild courses
Who knows how many poses, that I've been in
But them the main closest, hark! it gives meaning Mine
I cannot really post this, ah feel the signs
I worried about rain and I worried bout lightning
But I watched them off, to the light of the morning
Marking the slope, slung low in the highlands
Where the days have no numbers
If it's harmed, it's harmed me, it'll harm, I let it in
Oh, the old modus: out to be leading live
Said, comes the old ponens, demit to strive
A word about Gnosis: it ain't gonna buy the groceries
Or middle-out locusts, or weigh to find
I worry about shame, and I worry bout a worn path
And I wander off, just to come back home
Turning to waltz, hold high in the lowlands
Cause the days have no numbers
It harms me, it harms me, it harms like a lamb
So I can depose this, partial to the bleeding vines
Suppose you can't hold shit. how high I've been
What a river don't know is: to climb out and heed a line
To slow among roses, or stay behind
I've been to that grove
Where no matter the source is
And I walked it off: how long I'd last
Sore-ring to cope, whole band on the canyon
Cause the days have no numbers
Well it harms it harms me it harms, I'll let it in
Who knows how many poses, that I've been in
But them the main closest, hark! it gives meaning Mine
I cannot really post this, ah feel the signs
I worried about rain and I worried bout lightning
But I watched them off, to the light of the morning
Marking the slope, slung low in the highlands
Where the days have no numbers
If it's harmed, it's harmed me, it'll harm, I let it in
Oh, the old modus: out to be leading live
Said, comes the old ponens, demit to strive
A word about Gnosis: it ain't gonna buy the groceries
Or middle-out locusts, or weigh to find
I worry about shame, and I worry bout a worn path
And I wander off, just to come back home
Turning to waltz, hold high in the lowlands
Cause the days have no numbers
It harms me, it harms me, it harms like a lamb
So I can depose this, partial to the bleeding vines
Suppose you can't hold shit. how high I've been
