CLOAKROOM LYRICS

1. Sedimentary

How careless are we to wonder
apart from the stream
it hides itself in channels deep
to exist but to never behold
you know
Discard your beliefs and squander
such trivial thoughts for the future
catching and releasing won't put dinner on your plate
when you wound something that great you've got to want it
in your waking hours you find you're tethered to some line
escaping every single time
you've got to disconnect it
But you're still prone for mistaking the sky
for the shore collecting wealth we've long cast aside
when you need her most you throw yourself into the silt
sort of cleansing off some guilt, but getting dirty all the same
my god she goes by many names
I can't discern which one rings true
what keeps me grounded or unglued
if I should dwell or think it through into some lost paradigm
ruin your mind
there's an agent of change on the wind
through the storm door to end everything
she sings

2. E

Down the further you dig an inverted summit
refuses to fill like a dry lake bed
in ponds teaming with life
fragile and finite
ultimately extinguished in your gaze
how can one conclude what stays
I'd speak soundly to the void
some plea for the destroyed
archers take aim on the most unfortunate few
what can you do but stand in place
and the way this planet's turning you can reach the loftiest goals
with the most unrealistic sense of control
let go of what you once embraced
what can you do but stand in place
how do you manage to look so great

3. Dream Journal

It's the power of suggestion
tampered physic guide
put an end to your questions
may you open your eyes
counting backwards from ten
makes you count down again
never failing to yield those same conclusions

4. Bending

Bending blades on the longest of days
you've encountered in an ice age
keeping time with an old sun
beating down like it's the last one
aren't you so privileged to witness it fall
your observation makes your twice as small

in a day, cut a tall tree in two
build it high in the back by your self
burn it in the afternoon
aren't you so privileged to witness it fall
if you for one moment were moved by it all
but if you're not caught in the moment I won't mind
I won't set my expectations high where they should be
what a slippery slope to climb
when I find my feet I would soon retreat to a tower made of ivory
where I'd contemplate the mess I've made and take comfort in the temporary

5. Mynd Funeral

Those who know must never say what ails them
and the ones who say will never know the way they go
