Paper Swans 03:54
Calling off the inevitable Rain on our paper swan Only a passer-by that queries the time Brings your glance back to mine So sad, seems obscene The hinges coming off Too many things appear beautiful Too many things they fade away Violins play laughing odes at the loner who remains Smoking lanterns and moths that flee from People clearing throats Treading on a well worn thread Bronze vibrations play slow You said you want to try You need a mind of your own Too many things appear so simple Too many things will have to go Too many things appear beautiful Could we ever go through it again? Hey Polly give me a moment No pretending we'll be friends Too many things appear so simple Too many things they fade away Violins play laughing odes at the loner who remains Too many things appear beautiful Could we ever go through it again? Hey Polly give me a moment No pretending we'll be friends.

Dear O 03:28
Dear O Distressed in wonder Dear O Coming of age Try, try, try as you might Try, try, try as you might May serpent woe fall around you and pull out it’s bloody fangs And you cowered below them In a town where all the doors were locked All this time Through all this time A secret that sank between us You were older by less than a year And your brothers rallied hard to find you From around them we learnt to disappear May serpent woe fall around you And pull out it’s bloody fangs When you had no choice Queen of all beneath you And you turned fear into fiery stone And your brothers would build a ring around you Beat the boys who would follow you to your door
