Soap&Skin - Lost

Sitting, staring

watching all you leave

behind this

There is nothing

which has so much more to give

I lost

I lost you

You’re putting down the memories

as if a nothing

has something more to give

I lost

I lost you

Who beats the clock for us?

Who was pretending us?

Don’t scoff at us

Still sitting, staring, watching

how love had to live

and no more things to give

I lost

I really lost you

Soap&Skin - Boat Turns Toward The Port

Forward tales to tide
The boat turns toward the port
With fire and mud stained sky
Bright aft time
Bright aft time
My whole burden is laid down
Stay here
Stay here
Stay

Soap&Skin - Cradlesong

I thud on a drum
Barely a span long
The rough barrel-beat
Was my cradlesong

You ask why I keep still
Why I don’t pour it out into the night
You know
You know if it rises and floats
It effaces every piece of light

Foreign what my lips say
Foreign my hair, my dress
Foreign what your eyes ask
About this strangeness

You ask why I keep still
Why I don’t pour it out into the night
You know
You know if it rises and float
It effaces every piece of light

When scream masses on wound
I want to meet you
When the great testimony
From your branches trickles down

Here my soul grows
‘Til it smashes
Above the scene, the balcony

Soap&Skin - Wonder

Why we can't be
or see who cuts us asunder
like a boor felling a tree
you're the thunder
going under
over me

Don't forget to pray
to keep it away
away from every day
where you wonder
why we can't be ...
