1. The Beginning and the End
Long you both laid in the sun's yellow stare
On the edge with eyes rolled back in the waves we calling him
As he teetered on the edge
The waves were calling him
He had seen it, felt it's might, bent under
Washing away
He thinks of you
Everything slows
Lights flashing through
The water flies
Over his head
You are me now
As you lay on my bed
The water flies
Over his head
You are me now
As you lay on my bed
This is what he'd always known
The promise of greater beyond the water's final horizon
2. The Other
In this secret way
He knew you first
And from those lips, a seed
Your mouth dropped open
Darkness fell out
Kept close in skin
Kept close in blood
And in he was
And from those lips, a seed
This is the gift he recieved
Twisted roots kept warm
Rape she was and ready for the death
3. False Light
Come down on me, my sweet angel
Poison milk from that withering breast
Come down on me, my sweet angel
Poison milk from that withering breast
Your mask is drifting
See what writhes beneath
Porcelain grin is cracking, incest to uncoil
Your laugh spreads yawning, black hole formation
Drown and the first real breath takes hold
Washed in a chill so peaceful, sink further
Hold his hand and crush it
The depth of the chasm is infinite
Discover bliss and serenity in drowning
4. Carry
And the water takes hold
Fills his lungs and crushes his body
Dust floats through sun in water
As you draw close
Fall to me
He sees like his never seen before
I will carry you
True and Free
And the water carries him away
Now that you are here
You'll swim with me
Soon he ceases to be at all
I am clutching you
True
He sees like he's never seen before
He is light in water

7. Weight
( .... all in all in, all in a day .... )
( ... a day it changes everything ...)
8. From Sinking
His time there so long
His fingers trace the endless walls he knew so well
And there the breaths were short and hard and thick with salt
And in this place he always knew he'd awake alone
Hands clutch in panic
In this place we built of sand homes that caved
The walls were weak with salty tears
Through the cracks in these walls he saw the sun
The sun dripped through the cracks and died
Shadows managed to betray
Like liquid was the sadness
Until into the light he stepped
In this truth he knew himself to be
From sinking sands he stepped into lights embrace
9. Hym
Love flows fears no window minds time oceanic
Dissolve me
His own light, now it's gone
The thirst came on
And it come on in waves
He would dream of cells swollen with water
Blank memory washed away, swallowed whole through eyes and teeth
