The rain is falling
Let me in
The water's calling as I breathe through my skin
It's a game that I can't win
Distorted by the wind
The reflection in the pond doesn't seem sure of what to do
But I look up from the water and I see you
♪
I try to tell you
It's a curse
The magic blooms and mixes up my words
You're unsure but you know it hurts
Hiding from the birds
The space between our eyes can tell us what is true
Words don't mean a thing when I'm with you
♪
They'll never find the prince, no matter what they do
'cause he chose to remain a frog with you

Ramsbury

Lurching
Youthful hands ever searching
For some tiny angel perching
On the trunks of trees or often under lampshades
You can find them
Hands are aging
Ink to paper
As it's drying there are tweezers
In my fingers
Old and wrinkled
I explore their perfect figures
All one hundred thousand lives kept under glass
Someday they'll join me
In a chrysalis of moonlight
At the end
Bury me in Wiltshire in my sleep
My microlepidoptera and me
Cemetery stone for Meyrick, E.
Cedarwood cocoon beneath a tree
I'll burst forth from Ramsbury with wings
Witness our eclipse as it sings
Nine Sri Lankan moths have formed a ring
Aurelian cathedral for the king
Fly, fly away from this cold planet
With two hundred thousand wings behind you
Hear them as together they make thunder
Like a comet
Like a shooting star I want it
Leave us blinded on the surface
Cold and worthless
Left to slither on our bellies
Like the serpent
Hail the king of moths
Genuflect in awe toward his flight
One hundred thousand stars
Bathing us in scars and light

The water ebbs and flows
At the twitching of your nose
And with a laugh the waves pull back
In loving throes
Starlight disappear
In heaven's silver mirror
Collect our light, reveal the night
So that none may fear
And I'll follow you
Arc of the moon
When the air grows thin, I will breathe you in
On a sunless afternoon
Wax and wane with me
The mountains and the sea
All look as fields from above the wheels
Of fair Selene
Chariot alight
Come down from your height
Hold me close, I will be the host
Of a moonless night
And I will hold you
Light of the moon
All the splendor here when I have you near
All the world falls now in tune
The water is colder now
Than I have ever felt
And in a cloudless sky
I cannot see your face
But then between Polaris
And Orion's belt
A perfect circle
Where the stars have no place
And I know it's you
Lovely new moon
I can feel you there, I will not despair
For I'll see your crescent soon
And it'll be you
My perfect moon
I could not bare this life without you, my light
I owe everything to you

You & Me

Follow me
To the castle
I know a door we can use
Suddenly
The ballroom
Is shifting under our shoes
Floating
On the night air
My dream has fled from my sleep
And is now standing here
Before me
I've fallen far too deep
Do you believe it?
The melodies of life
In perfect harmony tonight
For you and me
Do you believe it?
The fantasy of love
Could be reality for us
For you and me
Do you believe it?
Shifting on a dime
All of the planets are aligned
For you and me, tonight
Do you believe it?
The fantasy of love
Is now reality for us
For you and me
(Algorithmically synthesized drum break)
Take a breath
I'm reeling
I'm not sure if I'm awake
It's staggering
This feeling
It's almost too much to take
Star-crossed
Heaven help me
My dream has fled from my sleep
And is now standing here
Before me
I've fallen far too deep
Do you believe it?
The fantasy of love
Is now reality for us
For you and me
Do you believe it?
The melodies of life
In perfect harmony tonight
For you and me
Do you believe it
Shifting on a dime
All of the planets are aligned
For you and me, tonight
Do you believe it?
The fantasy of love
Is now reality for us
For you and me
Do you believe it?
The fantasy of love
Is now reality for us
For you and me

Don't cry, child
We'll carry the burden
For you
Our strength appeared
In the hour we needed it
Will it leave as soon?
Put down the cross
You're too weak to bear it
You've failed
Just rest your head
The comfort of letting go
Exhale
Embrace the light
Numb and pale
I will restore you
Carry the atrophy
Drink of my blood, child
I give it willingly
I will restore you
Carry the atrophy
Will there be anything left
By the time that you're done with me?
Have I been deceived?
A liar

Lasting Love
03:09
|

It's a purr and a hiss
It's a time to reminisce
It's a gentle touch
It's a quiet kiss
It's an open book
It's a king without a rook
It's a nervous smile
And a lustful look
It's a ring you can keep
And you got it on the cheap
It's a pyrite dream
It's a blissful sleep
Foxglove, foxglove
And the berries thereof
It's a sweet release
It's a lasting love
♪
It's a glint in the night
And it's coming for your life
It's a jet black glove
And a silent knife
It's a last lost bet
It's the weight of all your debt
It's a frenzied look
It's a panicked sweat
It's the sword in your chest
It's a blood-choked breath
It's the hand of god
It's a righteous death
It's a flaming dive
Flying circles up above
It's the end of days
It's a lasting love
👀
Love
Everlasting love
Now the end is nigh
We are not afraid to die
Crush us all beneath
An indifferent sky
Foxglove, foxglove
And an offering of blood
Bring us endless peace
Everlasting love
