Forever 02:04
heaven is forever you’re waiting for the light but i am only dreaming a low cloud passing by I’m not scared I’m not here for now i can see your shadow fade into the night and as i float up to you the sun is in my eyes I’m not scared I’m not here for now
2.
Night Palace 03:54
in the evening i wait around to hear from you human voices outside the house it gets so dark i wanna hear you say this must be the place where i am still awake as i wait for the light again the clouds are coming in To my palaces on the water you’re swimming in a darker blue and I couldn't see you when driving past your house at night
3.
i thought i saw you in the lake letting the water touch my face another dream of you walking through the streets of a new city when i was almost 25 i couldn’t wait to get outside the light above the house flickering like fires in the evening another song about the way you laid your body on the waves i could not see your face underneath the water on the island i heard your voice inside the room calling out your name to you The blood upon the blade shines under the dawning of the morning
4.
you’re underwater you’re under this cloud I see your shadow in the house a gate of light in the morning I lay with the sun against my face in the dream there is almost no oblivion you’re underwater you’re speaking in tongues I heard you singing on the sea the listening wind
5.
you were in the garden i was in the air think about forever waiting for you there as the tide’s coming in listen to the voices floating on a new wind You were on the mountain I was in the glow take another picture of my shadow fire on the ocean cloud over the island underneath a new sun

Archipelago 01:43
7.
Foreign Body 03:08
taking off my shirt standing in the yard a wind inside my heart the body seldom casts an arrow in the sun a light upon my face january ghost in a time and place lifting up my voice nothing left to say disappearing world water underneath letting days go by falling back asleep
8.
i know the fire’s in the house with waves coming out of your mouth i see the light is everywhere the sun rising like your voices in the air i heard the song inside the room the clouds coming in around you there is a place where I am from the gardens are glowing underneath the sun your waves came down
9.
In The House 03:00
forest aflame blood on the blade there’s light outside the window the shadows cast no shade i’m in the house the open palm before the mountain the clouds come in i can’t see straight from double vision forest awakes light on the lake some day there’ll be a new year to recognize this place
10.
Mountain 04:50
ferocious ghost a tower of smoke look out to the ocean and let the water cover your hands all the arrows at night a heaven for real i’m only dreaming forest on fire remain in the light high on the mountain sun in my eyes i was afraid of your terrible waves i can see the smoke again rising from the sides of your bed all the arrows at night you said you won’t leave this place unfolding your arms under the weight you said you don’t mean it this way blue light of the sun over my face you said you won’t leave this place glowing in the dawn in actual air you said you don’t need to stay the sound of my voice is over the lake
11.
Year 02:44 video
i was walking past your house i thought i saw you hanging out and i wondered what you had been thinking of i could hear your voice so clear when you sang a song from off the pier and i thought about life for another year
