Setting Sun 04:42
i am awake when i dream you i keep your breath in a bottle by the bed like the hawthorn in the pillow something powerful is growing underneath our heads and the sun is setting this couldn’t happen to me somebody else’s thread is inexplicably weaving a loom into the womb around our bed Mother Spider and her progeny are waking how far is the river where the token fits how do breathing humans get there how do i live with this? i know i know what you are clearer than a theme of pondering the twinkling above my fear so high is a fate we cannot override we always knew it would end this way the martyr lives by the impaling stake

Ache 03:18
we could be a twinkling in the quick wink of an eye we could be forgotten or reviled these could be the pages in a book we cannot turn and never know the story or the lesson we should learn tiny as an atom, gigantic as a star i put you in perspective for the perfect that you are in the center you are in the center of the Universe don’t let’s ruin a good thing the Ache will ease the ache endless time precedes you and endless time awaits you are in the middle with your unpaid bills and stomach pains you are in the galaxy that was so far away paying for the choices that some unknown Force has made you can’t give a name to the Nameless you can’t keep the light from traveling all this way to greet us cause the stars know better than you do who you are in the center what if you’re the reason this entire place exists? would you slow your pace a bit, appreciate this crazy gift? what if you created me, and i created you? do i still have substance when I am out of your view?

Conspiracy 04:04
you never went to the moon you said i sent you to the Dark Side you never set your foot on her white skin as far as i can tell she’s still a virgin this is my theory now that you are gone all i have is speculation as to what went wrong i found my faith when i stopped believing in you I found my faith i found my faith there never was a Lone Gunman they found my body filled with holes i bled for anyone who aimed to rip me open you weren’t the only one who had a motivation you never were a Son of God a thousand years of Western Thought you held so tightly to the Grail that no one knew that now the bloodline will go to the grave with you

Credible 04:04
Head of Clouds you say i’m a shell-shocked visitor brain mis-wired you think there’s nothing true left in her and the right-thinking members of a congregation meet in your mind thumbing through their glossaries for an instance a breach of this kind eyes design: intake have closed forever lips’ purpose: to mend sealed in silence “i don’t find you Credible,” you say i pulled my skin away to show you i pulled my heart away to show you i pulled my pride away to show you and who are you accountable to? pass the phone a draft distracts your hearing someone else can clean the blood from the ceiling and the right-thinking members of the congregation leave your mind it’s just you and me, my sweet and you say again again “i don’t find you Credible” well, i don’t find You credible.

Silent 06:15
night has day surrounded but you are wide awake a subtle supplication the quiet call of Grace for you to dream keep dreaming dream of Peace please this year for you was a shaken sphere the months got lost from there to here you had to watch your star burn by no net to carry you away this time this is the rest of our lives all of our Cassandras had blinders on their eyes, but the tree of life will bear fruit in time the tree of life will bear fruit in time the worm across the world is spinning her silken thread the lines of fear and love connecting in your head this year for you is not yet done the lines you crossed can be redrawn light speeds faster than its absence you want love but you’re out of practice fill this silent night with your dovesong don’t let this night go silent

you come into my camp with your brights on i don’t know how you found me here you keep to your side and i’ll to mine you keep drugging the sentry and seducing my spies i get no premonition now when you’re crossing my lines awkward now but sweet to see us cracking horns together getting locked and breaking loose again you have mastered your offensive in another pasture but i like the sound we make as we collide i don’t care what they sold you, what stories you’ve been told myths that turned to Truths about the world that you uphold i don’t care where you come from, the colors you salute grave and somber wrongs inflicted do not concern you i engage your pleas for action with a sober gesture what will we create in the crash? harder than the breaking gulf we move to pound each other into the ground just to hear the sound come on come on hit me head on i’m a worthy adversary i could be your sparring partner we make such good noise as we scratch and scrape ourselves we come apart as someone else the noise we make is deafening so bind me from this siren singing

Lee Miller 05:44
in this light in this dream i am you at 17 drinking death for someone else’s cause posing for a camera what you wanted after all corpses on the pages of a fashion magazine i have caught the bodies breaking on a barbed wire sea i have seen desire as he’s bending over me every picture every lens the light reveals the edge finding inspiration in the mountain of a flesh the life became the dream the dream is smoldering you let the light soak in my photograph nothing scares me anymore not Death or Destiny i am but a witness to the breadth of what we can and should not be if this is hell, it’s a slow burn took an hour in your bath i am not in your grasp washed your ashes down the drain i am here i am unafraid nothing scares me anymore not Death or Destiny i will be the witness to the breadth of what we Will ourselves to be

about

"It's aetherial, intelligent and catchy at the same time..." -Neil Gaiman

The band's first self-produced EP. The album presents Adriana and David at their most intimate and honest, further honing a sound that is distinctly their own: electronic, emotional, ethereal. The songs are about building and destroying boundaries, about space and dreams, and finding peace.
