Where Lies My Mountain?
01:17
|
|||
|
Where is the Mountain
And where is my cave
And what is inside it
Is it my home
And will it hold me
Through the black night
Where can I stay
Now that I have nothing
Now that I know you
I am waiting
Where did you go
And what did you say
Little fireball
Burn away
Little bird
Stow away
You stopped singing
Oh, here is my cave
And there lies my grave
Inside the Mountain
Inside of Nowhere

Mist

In the morning I feel motion around me I smell the fresh coffee in the air And I hear pigeons tapping on my window But I don't remember waking up It's still night But the mist appears In my Little Room My own world...slowly fading Into nothingness...

Burning House
08:38
|
|||
|
The warm wood
Begins to crack
Exploding pieces of glass
Dancing molecules
Up above
Passing clouds echo around
Shards of flame
Cutting the Sky
Now this is a dream
Life is a poem
I emerge from the basement
To say
Yes, I dreamed
And dust is dancing
Don't worry
This is a veil
Here comes the river
Bringing more flames
The house now ashes
Dancing in the wind
Dark Mountain I hold nothing now x3
This is how life feels now
Endlessly squinting at garbage
Looking for meaning...

This World Still Lives
02:08
|
|||
|
This world still lives
The mountains still breathe
Seeing light disappear
I walk around its roads and say:
What about the songs we wrote?
What about the lives we gave?
What about the house we built?
What about the bird nesting in my palms?
What about the old spirit
Howling in pain?
This world is dying
In plastic light...

The Sky Opens
03:56
|
|||
|
I opened my eyes
And then I closed them
The sea of fog
Hiding a black ship
With red sails
And you know what this means
My body shapeless on grass
The sky begins to roar
And from the branches
Your name insignificant
If I open my mouth
Some words might appear
Quietly squinting my eyes
Trying to see the Sky
And all that echoes above me
Now there is nothing
Rocks and branches
Hiding in the fog
There is no Sky
Only this echo
The branches now a river
I know what this means
Life slowly drifting away
Two black holes in an open field
Consuming the ashes we leave behind
The fog surrounds me
For a moment
I recalled
Yes...
I briefly lived

(Wind's Voice)
01:59
|
|||
|
I say let go of things
And let them turn to dust
And watch them blow away
And know that you are flawed
And prayer is empty wind
And cold water comes
From the stream at dusk
Let go of the human
Because until wind stops
And until mountains billow
The path to your heart
Will go through A dark burning stove...

The Breeze
05:04
|
|||
|
There is a hill
Tall and solid
And on top
The treasure that we wanted
Old and stony
I climb slowly
To the cave
Holding on to rocks
But you, Breeze
Try to blow me away
I can't contain you
Inside the cave
There is no glimmer
There is no door
And there is no heat
There's no singing
There's no talking
I see the palace
But the bridge is unstable
And the trail is long and rocky
But inside the palace
There's no way out
The walls are tall and sturdy
There are no rooms
There are no doors
Inside the palace
No one is waiting for me

Black Night
04:39
|
|||
|
In the night
There are no words
In the night
There are only songs
In the night
There is only this
And then
There's nothing
In the night
There is only howling wind
In the night
There is no world
In the night
Everyone has left me
And now
All I have
In the night
Are songs

Ocean of Trees
05:29
|
|||
|
All of my human life
Spent describing
The shapes and sounds
Floating around me
Waiting for the Wind
To say my name
And for the night
To take me back
What am I really?
Stones and Wind
And what do I want?
Watching the lights go down
The town dissolves
And what is left now?
Internet and boulders
Disillusioned and lonely
I climb towards the hill
I finally see it
The eye of the Mountain
And inside
An Ocean unveiling
An Ocean of Trees
And a lone boat sailing
I enter and wait
The wailing air moves me around
Holding a club and a shield
I finally face you
Mountain, you say:
Abandon your animal form
Here you are nothing
A cloud in the sky
Abandon all senses
Enter the dark smoke
Brief life in the void
Now rise again
I say:
I am the twilight
On the doorstep
Mother of night
I am the Destroyer
Boulders collapsing
And from inside
Rivers begin to flow
I am the Fire
Billowing inside
And the Sky
Now a Volcano
Rain of Ash
Over the Town
A storm of Fire
Splitting the Sky
Old Mountain
We are one again
Born inside
The Ocean of Trees

Tumultuous Sky
03:33
|
|||
|
Mountain, now I see you
I hold you in my fingers
I walked to you
In darkest night
Mountain, I lay here
In darkest night
Through branches I see
The town in light
Mountain, now we are one
And let my voice echo
Through the Open Sky I say
Universe, you are mine
