Bats 02:43
How many, many White bats are in my belltower? Five, I see five And they’re moving, and they’re moving, and they’re moving faster When will I walk, when will I walk on water? Not now, maybe later Not now, I’m not ready yet And so I ask how many, how many, how many White bats are in my belltower? Five, I see five And they’re moving faster When will I walk, when will I walk on water? Not now, maybe later Not now, I’m not ready yet

Aftermath 03:19
O father What have you done? I see the red rock in the valley The sky, the sky, the sky Comes crashing down O silent seeker Speak yourself Your patience is virtue, your patience is virtue Your patience is virtue So take me to green grass So take me to flowers O silent seeker Speak yourself

Float 04:00
There’s something that stays my hand It’s growing quick out of darkness I know it’s always somewhere Over my left shoulder I know it’s always somewhere Over my left shoulder Oooooo There’s something that stays my hand It’s growing quick out of darkness I know it’s always somewhere Over my left shoulder I know it’s always somewhere Over my left shoulder Oooooo It grows from the ground It wings the air It seeps out of pores Oooooo To find it’s own world To find it’s own world We’ve seen it We know it Can’t look away Can’t look away No you can’t look away

Tortoise 03:54
I am endlessly freed by your hands Your feet and fingers, hearts and minds When I'm comfortable in my skin I sing away yesterday I grew up defiant I grew up defiant At 24 I became a loather of the world Today I am a lover of my unknowing When I’m comfortable in my skin I sing away yesterday Cause I wanna say ‘Star Bull let’s sleep side to side In the spring sun’ But fall silent We wear our masks And paint the world in our true colors We wear our masks And paint the world in our true colors I am continuously freed at your hands Your bones and jaws, ears and lungs When I’m comfortable in my skin I sing away yesterday Cause I wanna say ‘Star Bull let’s sleep side to side In the spring sun’ But fall silent We wear our masks and paint the world in our true colors We wear our masks And paint the world in our true colors

Bear witness to your dirty crime And hang the jury if you could If that glove fits, America Why don’t you wear it? You wasted a life I know you know we all know How it feels Her blood spread so elegant On that shaggy carpet And scrub as you might It won’t come out It just won’t come out You wasted a life Her life I know you know we all know How it feels She kept something of vestal about her waist O she was too young to die He was rank with evil and self pity He deserved everything The smell of small town clung to her like a sickness O she was too young to die Bear witness Bear witness to your Dirty, dirty crime And hang, hang the jury Only, O only, O only if you could You wasted her life Her precious fucking life I know I know you know we know how it feels ah!

Hindu Kush 04:35
Wait for me I have been at this for a long time O bury me In pearls and gold and the riches born of this world Everything you asked for Did it come on time? Everything you prayed for Will it come will it come on time? Wait for me I have been at this such a long time Marry me, O marry, marry In pearls and gold and all the riches of this world Everything you asked for Did it come on time? Oh my love this is where the path lies Oh my love this is where we both die Everything you asked for Did it come on time? Everything you prayed for Did it come did it come on time or did it come at all? O wait for me, wait I have been at this such a long time O my love O my love This is where the path lies This is where we both die
