our bedroom stands in bloom our lungs still filled with fume we’re dancing vapour closer than ever to feel bliss for real let’s drown in ecstasy erase our memory we’re tumbling skywards and float free free free free hear my insides scream for love I can’t heave myself up but in you I find a remedy let me bloom and set me free cover me in your blankets of affection and every day’s a dream cover me everyday’s a dream whats wrong about escape so high above the pain just let the come down decompose me into daisy leafs grey morning floods the room I wish back into the gloom with my limbs still asleep beneath your heather fields of dreams hear my insides scream for love I can’t heave myself up I’ve surrendered to the clutch cause all I’ve learned to love is lust in you I find a remedy Let me bloom and set me free cover me in your blankets of affection and every day’s a dream cover me everyday’s a dream grey morning floods the room I wish back into the gloom with my limbs still asleep beneath your heather fields of dreams

Spring 03:55
your purity drills through my eyes go ahead teach me to cry in pride I know you bend the same frame we become one only in pain why won’t you strike me with the beauty that is left I beg not to be afraid for once can you see through my skin and bones? since my vessels have been turned to stone? we’ve been authored to shine and die but will you lift me up high conrete crumbling in under the giant whip of spring oh shiny explosions of life forcing me into relieve
3.
Hummingbirds 04:52
drench me to the core in the liquid I absorb my heart chambers like hummingbirds spirals in my mouth gestures can‘t compensate the lack of words I could see such a lush proposal it pounds me into overwhelm it twists me back into my shell separate every inch to colourless my trembling hands not enough to take me off the ground so beat me till I feel the inevitable is real and endorphine won’t disengage a clockwork's gears when my heart chambers go like hummingbirds oh honey, stretch my skull
4.
Statues 05:02
the filial winds I’ve loved and known so well learned to fly and they’ve outgrown the plain but I’m still like trapped here rooted in the swell of stream and storm but they can’t carry me away what a rainy year in what a silent world a lifetime kept me here it’s only worth, your words moss green curtains overgrow the sculptured stone and I know that I won’t die for any fucking thing but the things I wish that they were statues to remain but everything falls apart
5.
Gloom 07:00
I hope someday you cover me in velvet dark and love me one last time and carry me away someday you cover me and take me out into the gloom someday you take me where the restless sleep down beneath the heather fields and let me fade with ease In between the deepest blue and lightest dawn make your descend down into sheets of velvet dark so heavy to hold down the ever rising unrest in our chest our bodies so light now my dear we’re alright now In between the deepest blue and lightest dawn hold on to my hand now and see beauty saved for the end In between the deepest blue and lightest dawn take me out into the gloom
