1. Lilliput Steps[lyrics]
I'll see you in the black stuff
Somewhere cold where you can't draw breath.

2. Pennantless on Homecoming[lyrics]
So here is my voice and here is a reason. Here is a stopgap for the ills in your skull dropped like a white sheet onto the dirt. You're looking to define your suffering, why you're pennantless on homecoming. So lift my bones upon that pedestal I'll try to corner all these desperate beasts, conjure up the ghosts of histrionic romantics
Write hope in the margins.

3. Heart like an Airport[lyrics]
I've dreamt from the mud to the stars of all time's collapsing plots
tried to rally my routed guts
with dreams of our faces drawn together
to stand as giants, silhouettes on the plain
but the holders of this heart alwaysw moved west
did what I could to bind our paths together wished every line you never wrote
did what I could to see this through
coiling cross and bleak you were the greatest of my defeats
yet we still live and linger in the mind's eye in a place with anchors that hold
I said my god I've got to go this isn't what I prepared for
all faces down all hearts retract as white as birch I'll flee this scene
5. A Sword in the Circle[lyrics]
I don't want to close this circle, tactically that would be an error
and I can't protect you from all those prying eyes
I can't make you return to mine
and anyway you'll be clearing out, soon enough
everything you were, the parts of myself built from you
I know bile subsides, I know that I'll miss you

6. Ghosts in Tow[lyrics]
I'd hold you in my coat and we would brave this dark
no longer somber and heaving like plague ships we'd breathe
I am but a watcher and I flee as I please
I've found the night is my one true lover, she does not fail me
a movie ending for a whole lot of nothing
the headlight kiss goodbye - that was the last one
still I leave with your ghosts in tow
and every year the waves tear the cliff down closer to your grave
soon you will swim with the sirens and I'll keep the flask that you gave me
stumble in after you
10. Pink Shell[lyrics]
Between your legs and inside your mouth god wrote a plan with broken glass
wild as beasts, we stalked the night between every hedgerow, every streetlight
your body is mine for now
returning to the dirt in time
sleepwalking homesick i'm hung up on eternity
by the time you say goodbye
we're different people
we're more like dirt
end silences.
