Sticky Blood

Shed This Skin
Let the light in
The scalded heart heals
Then it over-feels
Sticky blood is in my craw
This is a cruel hard rain
Shed This Skin
Let the light in
He's behind glass
He's coming last
Sticky blood is in my craw
This is a cruel hard rain
This blood has thickened and set into wax
Been burning at all our windows every night
You can come home you know
You can come home you know
Shed This Skin
Let the light in

Slow Your Eyes

Tell me young wonder
You’re out of your mind
Chasing the dragon
You know what you’ll find
Born of a prism
Why silver your eyes
You are a lens
You can let the sun rise
Tell me young wonder
Why blood’s in the air
Leaving your heart
At the turn of the stair
Born of a prism
Why silver your eyes
You are a lens
You can let the sun rise
Hollow your hands
Slow your eyes
So we can
Crystallize
Tell me young wonder
What’s floating around
How can we speak
If we don’t make a sound
Born of a prism
Why silver your eyes
You are a lens
You can let the sun rise
Hollow your hands
Slow your eyes
So we can
Crystallize

Bird and the Statue
03:52

There is a heart in you somewhere
But you have never been one to share
Tell me the things you never told
Show me how lead turns into gold
Give me the ground to fall at your feet
Give me the words you want me to speak
I see a window way up high
Where we'd look small and far away
You on my shoulder claw and wing
Oh who made us feather and tin
I hear an angel calling me
A voice familiar I can't place
Warm are the winds that call to you
Seasons will change around me
Give me the ground to fall at your feet
Give me the words you want me to speak

Chain of Coral (Reprise)
03:48
|
|||
I am drowning man
Since the day I was born
Mermaids swim around me
Give peace of mind
Let me back to the watery warm
Where I can rest
Atlantis my full glass
My atlantis at last
Watery star cuts through the waves
Watery star some days
There's a piano
On the ocean floor
Playing a song
I'm drinking it in
Let me back to the watery warm
Where I can rest
Atlantis my full glass
My atlantis at last
Chain of coral round my neck
The mayor of sand and kelp
Atlantis my full glass
My atlantis at last
Watery star cuts through the waves
Watery star some days
