Place please swallow me; in your colors I feel breeze Place where I had lain; let my feet sink in the grain Place I need your warmth; bring me deer that travel north Place I won't forget; where I silently will sit And the wind brushed my hair, And the dirt felt my feet, And the Sun lit my back And the Moon swelled inside Place I feel your might; in you darkness I found light Place your bark is soft; feel it wrap and fold across Place my eyes have numbed; make a strong wind roll and run Place I see your face; peeping out you show my fate And the wind brushed my hair, And the dirt felt my feet, And the Sun lit my back And the Moon swelled inside What changed my downward spiral, into something I could grasp a hold of? What made me pour those cries, so loud that they shook the night? What say those dark old trees, that tower up in front of me? What layed me down to rest, and let the wind pour right inside my bed? What brought me to my knees, just begging for all time to fade? What gave me all I need, at my feet wrapped up in sheepskin? I go outside; and the world's changed I go inside; and the world's changed I see nothing; and the world's changed I see everything; and the world's changed And I know nothing that I feel will feel this way again And I know nothing that I see will look this way again And I no way that you seem will seem this way again And I know nothing that I feel will feel this way again (repeated)

I stand silent, til the sun travels under me And my legs weaken slowly, til I lay 'em down in the old oak tree and it Feels so soft now (and I want everything) All my pain paid for me to feel this way I starve slowly, til my tongue aches helplessly And my belly shifts inside of me, til I take a bite from the apple tree and it Tastes so strong now (and I want everything) All my hunger has brought me to this taste Oh, the child I see Is wrapped up in a blanket with hot cocoa in his hands and Oh, the way I'll be Is satiated with a bird pecking my eyes out Oh, the child I see Is jumping into piles of leaves with wide-eyed splendor Oh, the way I'll be Is giving everything I have and wanting nothing I would, smother you but you need your space and Let's gather my needs and watch them flood the basement up til I am drowning in them lost and faceless I stand on the hilltop and I say: one, two, three, four I stand on the hilltop and I say: I need nothing I stand on the hilltop and I say: I want everything Oh, the child I see Is wrapped up in a blanket with hot cocoa in his hands and Oh, the way I'll be Is satiated with a bird pecking my eyes out Oh, the child I see Is pumping on his swing until he reaches treetops Oh, the way I'll be Is baking apple pies for neighbors that I don't know I would, smother you but you need your space and Let's gather my needs and watch them flood the basement up til I am drowning in them lost and faceless

My hair grows longer, and curls around into my everyday Rain falls into my bed, and fills to wash away my everyday Rattlesnakes line the path, that leads up winding to my everyday Songs I play, words wrote today, will light my way; my everyday You sit there, on rocking chair, to rock me there; my everyday Piles of dust, are thrown across, the home you lost; my everyday Moonlight waits for, the sun to come and burn away my everyday Winter brings in, the mist that swarms around to mask my everyday Kettles boil with, the tea I drink to soothe me through my everyday Stay in bed, dear sleepyhead, your mother read; my everyday Wait inside, I changed the tide, that made you ride; my everyday Pluck yours strings, of harp that sings, of troubled things; my everyday Now what lay, among the hay, the roosters say; my everyday

I see, your face crumble, it lays With me, inside my night And waits, for me to wake with it I feel your bones, Milk white I smell your hair, it pours a stream And wait, for me to wake with it Rain filled my skull, awakened my eyes I saw you wade in the stream of blue sky Brown lights that lit your path home from fright And the mouse covered in shade is peeping out his head tonight, And I'll go down by the lake where your face is glowing bright, And I won't know what to say when I see you prancing in the light Of what brings, me, to you I won't forget, my size, it melts My skin, it peels, it shines And waits, for you to wake with it I fall, I shake, you run to me We stay inside, our lives And wait, for them to wake with us And the mouse covered in shade is peeping out his head tonight, And the makings of your braids are singing songs to me in light, And the wrinkle in my brow is quaking from the sight Of what brings, me, to you And you're crawling in my hair, and you're feeling all around And my hair is falling out, and it's covering the ground And the sun comes out tonight, and the garden grows again And I can't escape the fight, of what brings, me, to you And the mouse covered in shade is peeping out his head tonight, And I'll go down to the park and throw a frisbee in the sky, And your arms will wrap around my body and cover my whole life Of what brings, me, to you

And when I go back to the world, I will lay my body on rooftops.

about

The mind becoming aware of itself, falling through chasms of what once was light and now is eternally belonging to the realm of the concealed spirit.

My first album. It was received quite well on several blogs such as ForestGospel, DFBM, Royal Jelly, and RibsOut.
All of these songs were written on an 8-day pilgrimage into solitude in the woods, in which I fasted and made my first attempts at authentic meditation (a practice I would continue to a greater extent in the future).

The album was concieved as a whole, and is a cycle in itself, but not so much that I would discourage listening to a single track to see if you enjoy it. Each song has it's own idiosyncratic rules and sonic design, there is no technique or set of instruments that carries from one to the next, though the moods should be sufficient to make it a cohesive whole.
