Turning Leaves -
You’re wading much deeper than ever before
It looks every so cold where the light won’t reach
She said - what of the soul when the body dies?
Picture the space of a room when the walls come down
I went out of body, I swam beyond time
I visited mother on the sea bed
With every stride sprang up flowers in bloom
Which swiftly departed with each passing step
I sat through a concert & here’s what i saw -
One fragile creature at war with itself
I felt all that ails you & you are
Is only one move in the great cosmic dance
I felt every ring of tree
How everything’s orbiting everything
To go somewhere new you must be somewhere first
So isn’t it all just turning leaves?
She said - what of the soul when the body dies?
Picture the space of a room when the walls come down.

Crystalline -
I fell
Out of orbit, child
& as i did
Felt the weight of it all
Drag me down
This young mind is like a flower
& I must become crystalline
Well as if you could ever doubt it
This whole world
Is teeming with life
& I’ve come to realise
This life’s best lived
Streamlined
With the ticking of the clocks
Goes the drip drip drip of time
When you lose the ones you love
Three new leaves will arise
This young mind is flowering
& I’m becoming crystalline.

Giants -
The night you took your life
Dark clouds formed in the sky
As I lay you on the ground
Magpies picked at your crown
Black crows shadowed the light
One for every lie
We’re seen as rising giants
But no one’s death’s defiant.

Æther -
My child
You’re out of time
I am your guide
Step into the light.
This is the formless realm, the æther
Now awake
The body is a prison
You are an unblown flower
& the mind it is a prism
Now awake
My child
You did just fine
I’ll help you heal
To open your eyes.
Out of the vacuum, planet leaper
This is the formless realm, the æther
You are an unblown flower
This is a force against her nature
Now awake
Out of the vacuum, planet leaper
You are an unborn child
I am the black hole that will eat you
Now awake
The body is a prison
You are an unblown flower
& the mind it is a prism
Now awake
This is the formless realm, the æther
This is a force against her nature
Out of the vacuum, planet leaper
I am the black hole that will eat you
This is the age-old run the reaper
This is the age-old run the reaper
Now awake.

Ocarina / Riverine -
Been here before
Like a broken record
Dreamt I was old
On the ocarina
Then it turned cold
And the rain made your hair curl
Oh but you were just a girl
Playing ocarina
What have you got to lose now, Holly?
If i could give you some advice -
Waste but not one drop
Together riverine
I saw the swans take off this morning
They were headed west your way
Oh what a sight
Kissing in mid-flight
What have you got to lose now, Holly?
