Emeralite 04:31
lyrics

You used to play in the shade of a dead tree Emeralite I wake up with the corpse breathing over me Emeralite Night sheath corrects me Revealing everything, emerald night You get up to greet the day And we took the orange car To Montana And we drove all night And dozed all day This is the color of the dream, of beautiful envy Be wary, Emeralite I can’t wish when the sweltering sun hits Emeralite I can’t focus on this with you looming over me Emeralite And the sweetness chased you out Out of a cold sheet And you run all night And run all day ‘Till the chasing leaves you breathless And back to sleep ‘Till the vision leaves you deathless With stirring cloud And when winter came in slow and careful, Emeralite I woke up and wrote it down

Palisade 02:35

We walk in the sun A coastal freeze Walk in the sun 30 degrees Noses run Sand on your feet Feeling the froth of cold water beneath Warming your hand Smelling the sea Warming your hand Get something to eat Picking up bones The shells from the reef I was starved for wonder in the dream I’d walk in the rain To get where it’s warm I’d climb to the top Of the Palisade Just to jump off 9 different floors Out in the veranda Friends in the pool Tell me to quit it And squint at the sun They tell me to quit it I think that I should

Unhelpful Dream 03:37
lyrics

You are in recovery Roped in by the people you see Unveil what it’s trying to say From hazy events yesterday You’re floating on in a sinking cage Does she only hint at the key? The crying kid who just ran away Who doesn’t want to play in the game You are an unhelpful dream All night on holiday eve You are an unhelpful dream You should be teaching me Woke up with a watery cheek It set me back for another week The convalescent kid on the screen Who doesn’t want to talk in the dream I wrote to you on Thanksgiving Day What is it you’re trying to say? You are an unhelpful dream All night on holiday eve

Moriah 04:27

Moriah, the Lightning Are you withholding? Part of me unsure If it’s withholding Are you withholding The green of the grasslink I slink through the plains of... The watchful and starry The sky is a black sink Do you carry the lightning? And I think of a life linked Moriah, the Lightning Are you withholding? Part of me unsure If you’re withholding I’m not withholding Could I outrun thee? And try to be happy, Grateful and starry But the sky is a black sink And do you carry the lightning? And I think of our lives linked...

Nine Sided Light 04:24
lyrics

...An ode to the nighttime Dangling boots from the cliff Held in the nook of the bay You can float there in low tide The same water we romanticize Oh well, that was a wild ride You went too far that one time Since then I’ve not much to say And the water we romanticize Receives us at end of life Don’t read ahead Don’t wait up Friends catch up at Turkey Point They get by with the help of a nine sided light I’m not one to look with concern You can help turn on the emeralite I’ve got not much to say
