Rhian 04:26
I got your letter about a year ago the wax seal on the bottle shows you never made it past the beach now you’ll never make it back to me. I always thought of you as one of those types of girl who would take off her clothes and throw them all over the sand. The girls always called you Rhian. I think you went down to Bethlehem to see where Jesus walked away and now you’re up there with him in the clouds learning how to swim. I took you down to the house of ghosts you told me what you always feared the most was the feeling that you’ve been replaced and in a moment anyone’s erased. Chorus: You are the forest You are in space You slept in the mountain and the world turned away You are selfish you are kind you are the person that I’ll meet when I die Now a decade has nearly passed, but I wouldn’t say it happened fast. I’m just a stone dragging on the beach waiting for your hands to come and lift me. I think about you when I’m alone and the frost turns to mold. The mold turns to dust, and now I know dust is where we all go. You are the forest You are in space You slept in the mountain and the world turned away You are selfish you are kind you are the person that I’ll meet when I die Port, Starboard, Hull, and Aft You are the forest You are in space You slept in the mountain and the world turned away You are selfish you are kind you are the person that I’ll meet when I die The wind blows, the wind knows. Ship’s force, you’re off course. You are the star I’ll follow. I’ll follow.

Wires 04:53
Somebody said that the wires got crossed But I always felt the instructions got lost. I’m alone on the road with nowhere to go. I lost my map, but it felt like home. I'm like an unlit room In a crowded house When those lights come on Others go out. It's just one of those things growing up can't change. You start talking in rings. It gets filtered away. Somebody said that the wires got crossed But I always felt the instructions got lost. I'm alone on the road with nowhere to go I lost my map, but it felt like home. You ever feel like man? Neither have I. Brothers fight to stay strong The muscle's wrapped too tight. The rest is made up like a magical beast. Some dumb chimera with a nature to preen. That's never been me. Somebody said that the wires got crossed But I always felt the instructions got lost. I'm alone on the road with nowhere to go I lost my map, but it felt like home. Somebody said that the wires got crossed But I always felt the instructions got lost.

The call went out for focused troops. They took out chunks with ice cream scoops. The Holy Body was walking along the cliffs. They took the Body, broke him down; he screamed and shuddered at the sound. The body won’t take what the mind can’t risk. After all these things he’s been through, you’d think he’d be used to just a little light. A life well-lived in focus groups I took all my problems and gave them to you I picked them like berries and let them rot in the daylight. A leaf wrapped in glass and blood. I tremble at the wind for fear of floods. Termites get shelter every chance I miss. After all these things I’ve been through, stick a hot poker right into both my eyes. And there are bridges that I’ve burned through. You’d think I’d be used to just a little light. You always tell me "I can't read your mind" but I would find that power if I had the time I’d be with everybody, just be myself Be with no one, just beam and shelf Mitigating risks are all I'm lurching towards, Of that I’m sure. After all these things I’ve been through, stick a hot poker right into both my eyes. There are bridges that I’ve burned through. You’d think I’d be used to just a little light. I make myself suffer. Scratch the mark, it hurts just a little more the episodes come and go. I started over but I’m older but it seems like I’m out of time. Ideas come too slow. I got your letter about a year ago but when I saw it, I threw it away. I’ve got too many ghosts in my life and they all got something to say.
