When I’m deep in enchanted woods at last I feel fine
I’d swap the trunk of a tree for my spine

I’d spend a day or a lifetime just gazing up a pine
Home to green gnomes robed in needles
32 limbs and still rising high

Ants in the bathroom
Ants on the wall
No-one ever leaves
Nothing ever leaves at all

Then I'm lying in bed
My grandmother’s blue and white fine china is haunting my mind
Oh I’m wondering if there were also ones in rose
Or black and white

Ants in the bathroom
Ants on the wall
Nothing ever leaves
No-one ever leaves at all

Bowls and sauces
Empty shapes turning in my head
Slowly like an advertisement
A sale
Close up 3D holograms

Ants in the sink
And ants on the wall
Nothing ever leaves
No-one ever leaves at all

Ants in the bathroom
Ants on the wall
Nothing ever leaves
No-one ever leaves

Ants up my sleeve
Ants on the wall
No-one ever leaves
No-one ever leaves at all

Oh no-one ever leaves
No-one ever leaves at all

Is it June again?
Are you really dead?
What’s the catch?
Deep within the ground
The queen’s waiting for her eggs to hatch

I wish it was you driving up in your van that has always been yellow
Never a day that I don’t think of you
With your tools in one hand
Oh I’m not myself
Tend to blend into the background these days

A year has gone by and I struggle to stand
I wander through forests
You’re gone and I don’t understand

I used to have days without choking and thyme
Now I wish to join you in the sands of time

One day will be all I have
Ooh
Can’t go back
Oh tell me please
Where did you go?

Who else were you but the one I met?
Over time, in my mind, you turn into a silhouette
Young man, as your voice broke
Did more than that break within you?

Oh I’m not myself
Twenty-nine when you passed
Left your garden, the barn and your notes saying
“You’ll find that real strength lies in keeping good habits over time
So teach yourself a few”

One more day is all I ask
Ooh
Tell me please
Can I go back?
Where have you gone?

Sunflower
You bloom each year
Sunflower
You’ve dried up I fear
Sunflower
I know you’re here
Forever a voice in my head

One day shall be all I have
Ooh
Can’t go back
Oh tell me please
Where did you go?

In these ruins overgrown
I’ve been walking on my own
In these woods rising from debris
Then I see the head of a lizard made of stone
And here I am
The wizard who gave it form

Now these green eyes of mine shine on it
Sort it out
Shaped by hands of time
Wearing a crown of sharp twigs
Moss and slumber

Eye-lids heavy like my heart
Aaah
A creature born of earth and rain
Huhh
Huhh

With eye-lids heavy like the heart that bears the pain
It turned to me and said “I felt you from miles away.
I taste the air with my tongue for the dead or dying prey.”

“So tell me why you wander the edge of life, my magical child?”
Now these fern eyes of mine pale like the water
And as day fades I unfold

Like a wild river carving its bed
I have torn at my soul
To have a place in the world

Eye-lids heavy like my heart
Aaah
A creature born of earth and rain
Huhh
Huhh

Woke up to the road
My belly made of stone
Thinking of you
Ohh ohh-ohh
You speak in tongues the mountains know
You twist your hair
You let it grow

And on the hunt you hear me sing
On your shoulders all the way
You bring the chamois down to the valley
Just as you used to carry me

Woke up to the loss with my voice of sand
Everything happens all at once
I saw it in the haunted house
You have a daughter now
And both our dads died in half a year
My hands and feet give away more than anything I could say
Oh the mountains know everything

And on the hunt you hear me sing
On your shoulders all the weight
You bring the chamois down to the valley
Just as I used to carry everything

Don’t live in fear
Look through my eyes
Blurry world and black skies

It’s always been like this
I’m blown to bits
Frozen in notion
In awe of your beauty

I am the moon
I am the tide
Follow the pull inside
But I’m frozen in motion
Frozen in motion
I’m frozen emotion

Don’t live in fear
Look through my eyes
Blurry mind, I’m on your side

Dreamer, don’t wait ‘til you’re fading
I’ll let you in
Feel my world on your shoulders
Can you see now why I’ve always been like this?

Born a creator
The loud kid
Then unprotected
I’ve given rise to the keeper and the actress
That I thought were scars
But now I see
They are all my superpower

Dreamer, wake up
No one else will help you now
Don’t wait
Get out
I’ll join you once you’re out the door

I am the moon
I am the tide
I am the moon
I am the tide
I am the tide

We buried the poor pigeon
She was left to die
When we found her by the highway
Dug her a grave
In the backyard of the stage

Ruth
If I could make this last forever I’d try

We sing her a song
When a hole forms in the soil
And we're being pulled in
Deep in the roots hold
We see our lives unfold

Ruth
If I could make this last forever I’d try
The reason why it feels so hard
Is ‘cause you’re trying to do it all alone

Lady gray in the rocking chair
Trust the path will get you there
Dog on the floor
Garden in bloom
The power of love
Sing a song
Watch it level the room
What you're seeing now is just one version of the

Truth
If I can make this last forever I’ll try
Ruth

Shift your perspective
To find the nuts hidden in the grass
Breathe in
Breathe out
Close your eyes and gaze to the other side

Ruth
Sometimes I want to leave forever
I lied

What lies within
Whatever lies within
I’m here for you
What lies within
Whatever hides within
I’ll be there for you
I’m there for you

I stock my cabinet with leaves
I’ve been frozen
Hiding all my treasury
Dance me across the room my love
Sway me in your arms

Valerian root to lure the sleep
It comes in shreds then dives so deep
My dreams
In dreams my arm was cut to the bone
A knife thrown and Simon down
I almost couldn't wake

Lady’s mantle
The philosopher’s stone
Dried nettles in a jar
The sting and tease
Do you remember the summer?
Remember sitting on the bench?
The truth we dared
And our skin’s red flare

I swear that I still feel you there

Spider spider hanging by a thread
Rappelling down silk right next to my head
The closest creature I’ve seen in a week
Are you the one who’s constantly smudging my lens?

Won’t you show me where you are
Dance me across the room my love
Come with me
Stroke the leaves
The sting and tease
And ask me what I need

If I’d have known
That sometimes you’re all I see
And I’m lost
I'd have brought a light to look for me
To shine for me

Shine for me
Shine a light for me

I swear that I still feel you there
I still feel you there
I swear that I still feel you there
I still feel you there

Won’t you show me where you are?
Won’t you show me where you are?
Where you are?

I’m not a man
I’m not a woman
So many years I had no love for me

Slow down
Slow heal
Heal

I’m not a child
Oh I am not whole
So many things I saw now can’t unsee

Slow down
Slow heal
Heal
Heal
Heal
