Last Light 03:09
My lights fading but I’m gonna be okay My lights fading but I’m gonna be okay everything’s arising and passing everything's passing arising I know I'm gonna be okay I know I'm gonna be okay I’m gonna be fine, fine everything’s arising and passing everything's passing arising I know I’m gonna be okay I know I'm gonna be okay I see the last light for now I see the last light for now I see the last light fading out I see the last light I see the last light I see the last light now it's dark

My lights fadin but I’m gonna be okay My lights fadin but I’m gonna be okay everything’s passing arising everything’s passing arising Ohhhh and I know I’m gonna be fine, fine everything’s passing arising everything’s passing arising I know I’m gonna be okay Am I see the last light for now G I see the last light for now D I see the last light fading out I see the last light F I see the last light E I see the last light now it's dark oh Welcome these shadows - Cm Sunset where did you go? I welcome these shadows Cold wind kiss my neck Whispering to me again Welcome these shadow Thickest silence darkest dark I know you’re there in my heart You can stay long as you like There’s nowhere for me to hide So I welcome these shadows Dripping rain on my window I welcome these shadows Candles burning out I know the time is now Thickest silence darkest dark I know you’re there in my heart You can stay long as you like There’s nowhere for me to hide Absent moon glow in the clouds All the fog around me now No direction no way out I welcome these shadows so I sit with them now

Ghost 03:27
Home is alone On a stormy evening How am I here How am I here Fires burning Floor is creaking Hushed up corners Closets and cupboards Open doors slow This unfamiliar different placements different difference Raindrop conversations my frantic thinking I’m every where around here But I don’t see me How am I here How am I here Home is alone on a frightened evening Retracing steps again I know every corner This is all I do Repeating Door slams shut misplaced some trinket Bump and shatter unfamiliar Thunder conversations Tree tapping window Tell me something Must be breathing Home is alone Another evening How am I here How am I here How am I here How am I here How am I here How am I here

I found you in the negative space where I least expected You found me in the negative space a pure possession We found surprise with closed eyes I didn’t know I could be more alive I found me in the negative space where I least expected I hear your heart beat faster I hear your heart beat faster All I found was a feeling stuck on repeat I hear your heart beat faster I found me in the negative space I just wanna be free I just wanna be free I wonder what a body feels like I just wanna be free I just wanna be

Around the corner around the corner I hear something But I don’t know it Around the corner around the corner A glimpse of movement But I don’t know it Maybe it’s all in my head Maybe it’s all in my head But what if it’s not in my head what if it’s not what I expect Around the corner around the corner I hear voices but I’ve not heard them Around the corner around the corner I feel something it’s hard to show it Maybe it’s all in my head Maybe it’s all in my head But what if it’s not in my head what if it’s not what I expect I feel there’s something comin Around the corner

Being held and holding on is all I've ever known is all I'll ever want Holding on and being held is all I've ever known is all I'll ever want

Death on the ground I’m not afraid of you Bone crunching sounds No I’m not afraid of you Death on the ground I know you’re not haunting me Death on the ground You’re not a season Death on the ground Like the air I’m breathing Coming and going Always continuing You’re not a memory You’re not the future You’re not an idea You’re not a confusion I’m not misconstruing Metaphors in a waking dream You’re sun rays through fog Piercing through spacetime through laughter and tears Terrifyingly beautifully terrifying a silent consoling song Simply reminding me Death on the ground born again screaming Death on the ground I’m dying to meet you Death on the ground I know you’re not haunting me First and last touch I know it’s enough I am that I am I know it’s enough Coming and going We’re always continuing We’re always continuing We’re always continuing

You can close the door on me because everything ends and everything begins again

Don't Move 04:00
Suns shining People smiling Birds singing Wind blowing Clouds floating Trees swaying Leaves dancing and there I am and I don’t move no I don’t move do I need to move everything's moving so I don't move no I don't move everything's moving everything moves I’ve got nowhere to go But I feel like I’m running out of time I know it’s a lie that I’m running out of time I’m not running out of time I’ve been around longer than I know I’ll be around long after I’m gone I know I’m arising and passing, passing and arising I know I’m a festival of light contained in space, time, and love everything's moving everything's moving I don’t need to move I’m already moving everything's moving so I don't move I'm everything moving I’m the sun shining I’m the people smiling I’m the birds singing I’m the wind blowing I’m the clouds floating I’m the trees swaying I’m the leaves dancing And I’m all the space between I'm all the space between I'm all the space between and I'm free
