Belly of a Wolf 04:05
lyrics
i have found myself in the belly of a wolf when did the jaws clench? i have found myself in the belly of a wolf when did the jaws clench? your breath, it hums against my collarbone; this in itself is too much for me to hold because I’m too affected by the way she talks of hearts, like yours is so wild howling in the dark i have found myself in the belly of a wolf when did the jaws clench? i have found myself in the belly of a wolf when did the jaws clench? your breath, it hums against my collarbone, this in itself is too much for me to hold ‘cause I’m too affected by the way she talks of hearts, like yours is so wild howling in the dark underneath that old naked sky, floating on our backs in the pale moonlight i have found myself in the belly of a wolf when did the jaws clench? i have found myself in the belly of a wolf when did the jaws clench? awoo! awoo!

Hunter 02:39
lyrics

what if the hunter was in our house? when the wind is howling through the cracks in your door then there’s no sense in running because someone’s seen your score what if the hunter was in our house? when the shadows are creeping and the dusts have been stirred then there’s no sense in hiding ‘cause the hunter has been here what if the hunter was in our house?

Old Hill 04:07
lyrics
we turned our backs to the road ahead sat on spinning wheels and waited, waited did you take my hand or did I imagine that? did you take my hand or did I imagine it? the cold of the old hill and the breath that blew on our heels i was waiting for something to come you were waiting for me to be gone one more night was all that we had but the trees were waving their bony hands well I tried, I tried to lead you but it was too dark for your eyes the cold of the old hill and the breath that blew on our heels i was waiting for something to come you were waiting for me to be gone the way that the sky looked (I was holding my breath!) the cold of the old hill (and the cold of the night!) the way that the sky looked from the frozen hard ground, we built it all up and then we tore it all down ran like the children that came from the clouds ran like the ones who would never be found the cold of the old hill and the cold of the night the cold of the old hill and the breath on our heels the way that the sky looked from the frozen hard ground just the way that the sky looked from frozen hard ground we turned out backs to the road ahead sat on spinning wheels and waited, waited did you take my hand or did I imagine that? did you say my name or did I imagine it?

To the Trees 04:32
lyrics
when we first met, there were time when I would find the truth lost in you, lost in you and I cannot explain the strange geometery that led us here with lines that weave to and from take me to the forest take me to the trees take me where the silence will bring me to my knees i have taken this night, and so I forsake the morning i’ve taken flight, taken flight take me to the forest take me to the trees take me where the silence will bring me to my knees take me to the forest take me to the trees take me where the silence brings me to my knees brings me to my brings me to brings me to my knees

Mirrors 04:36
lyrics
they came from the river couldn’t hear nor see came in with their hidden flags like all good enemies and when the lanterns lost their glow i could never see you that low ‘cause I’m too affected by the wooden frame of a mirror’s edge too affected by the part of the picture that I miss too affected by the wooden frame of a mirror’s edge too affected by the part of the picture that I miss language is a mist your face damp with it the weight of existence hangs in a bead on your upper lip and when the lanterns lost their glow i still couldn’t see you that low ‘cause I’m too affected by the wooden frame of a mirror’s edge too affected by the part of the picture that I miss too affected by the wooden frame of a mirror’s edge too affected by the part of the picture that I miss

Killing Time 02:51
lyrics
i used to be a part of the night in the pulse of the city’s streets used to walk to the rhythm of this old town’s heartbeat but are the stakes too high when its your own dream on the line? are the stakes too high when its your own dream on the line? now I lie awake watching the shadows on the wall haunted by the memory of a time I felt at all but are the stakes too high when its your own dream on the line? are the stakes too high when its your own dream on the line you’ve got gunmen for hire but they’re just killing time will you start to really live or will you start to really die?

Monet Love Story 04:48
lyrics
on the steps beneath the dripping eaves while the rain fell on the square umbrellas opening like patterned faces pointing for the sky, for the sky but I couldn’t see you there my nordic skin, it just can’t take this heat now I’m dreaming of a lonesome winter scene cities show their monuments like people show their scars cavaliers carved in stone pointing for the sky, for the sky but I couldn’t see you there my Nordic skin, it just can’t take this heat now I’m dreaming of a lonesome winter scene a winter scene, a winter scene the storm had finally broken, but I couldn’t feel the rain. my skin began to separate and drip from my bones like paint but I couldn’t see you there

Animals 03:27
lyrics
there is a place we hide, in the night time a language of eyes you hang your mask by the door and it casts a shadow across the floor saw the words on your tongue, this is why I – I had to run i have no more to give you than something sharp and fleeting now there is an animal in your eyes dear there is an animal inside there is an animal, it’s in the way that you – there is an animal hiding in your smile you always had to know who was holding – holding the gun look down the barrel and I’ll show you how to be incomplete there is an animal in your eyes dear there is an animal inside there is an animal, it’s in the way that you – there is an animal hiding in… your…

The Reckoning 04:01
lyrics

quietly reveling the beauty of a new height from which to fall he strips me of my skin, exposing fear and fortune is it a tide the way I pull you back to me? is it a tide the way that you’re wavering? i feel you in my knees, a nervous wind, a reckoning is it a tide the way I pull you back to me? is it a tide the way that you’re wavering?

Brad's Waltz 04:45
lyrics
there are no stars, but the thick quilted atmosphere above shines orange with the lights of the city the wind on your face is like rippling silk a man in a tattered uniform is asking how you’ve been a minor chord shatters the window and the glass and rain they tear at my skin they tear at my skin the wind on your face is like rippling silk a man in a tattered uniform is asking how you’ve been how – how have you been, your fatal flaw still how – howling in the wind still howling in – the wind on your face is like rippling silk a man in a tattered uniform is asking how you’ve been
