Daycatcher 04:30
The hours are made of liquid glass they scratch your skin like brittle grass and bugs get trapped inside them. They may evaporate like gas; though days consist of greater mass still often I can’t find them. Daycatcher Catch me a day Catch me a moment I’m willing to pay Why do you never share what you take away Nothing will remain And no one ever stays the same As water in a stream erodes The rocks and cliffs through which it flows And leaves a path behind it So blood erodes while it sustains A looping pass throughout the veins ’til finally it unwinds it.

All thoughts are either true or false. Which one depends on you. Time for building memories; either one will do You manifest reality by acting how you feel Who you are is what you did, even if it wasn’t real Even if it wasn’t real (Even if it wasn’t real) All your blood flows to the sea Where you get emptied Into who you think you want to be Then that blood gets pulled to different veins In different bodies Until none of what you were remains Whatever inconsistencies you made your life about That’s up to anyone who cares enough to figure out. Every single move you made: too late to make anew You’ve said your piece; now rest in peace. Nothing else is up to you Nothing else is up to you (Nothing else is up to you) All your blood flows to the sea Where you get emptied Into who you think you want to be Then that blood gets pulled to different veins In different bodies Until none of what you were remains All the words you wrote in stone (or some admirer made) No matter what you paid the mason, even those will fade A shadow of a shadow of a shadow—nothing more. What’s left, you wouldn’t recogniz e. What was any of it for? What was any of it for? (What was any of it for?) All your blood flows to the sea Where you get emptied Into who you think you want to be Then that blood gets pulled to different veins In different bodies Until none of what you were remains

Gone 04:46
Keep your bread for baking No one wants to eat it anymore Don’t you understand what people want? We’ve moved on from things that taste so poor. Where did you put your silver spoon? You’ll starve unless you find it soon It’s gone Keep your fires for burning No one wants to be warmed anymore And in the halls, the sleeping Cling to walls behind every door You’ll have to make your own bed tonight Be sure to turn out the light She’s gone Keep your songs for singing No one wants to hear them anymore All your little treasures We don’t even know what they’re for Burn all your diaries and destroy your souvenirs They leave no meaning behind you Even when You’re gone

about

Ethereal melodies, minimalistic strings, drum machines, and baroque-inspired counterpoint converge in this avant-garde/alt-rock album, bringing the listener to a place that feels both familiar and alien.
