Lyrics
To Sleep
Some day some time some way we’ll fly / Today tonight awake is fine / Some day some time some way we’ll die / Today tonight awake is fine
Mountains
I wish I could sleep forever in the arms of a mountain / Cold and alone no horizon all is frozen here / I wish I could breathe in water in the depths of a canyon / Slowly moving light diffusing all is quiet here
Pulse

The Scream

Firmament
I’m under / still water / in a fountain of flowers / i stare without seeing / i look to the heavens to awe / I am silver reflective on fire with angels i burn without feeling / i look to the heavens to awe
