- Track Name: Landfall
-
The wind is picking up
The tornado's on the way
The waves are getting stronger
The house is leaning back
The shutters hitting the—
They stood across the river waiting
For the storm to pass us by
The door gave way
A cold stream down our hallway
From the shore
They watched the storm
Take more and more
Of our houses
The lightning hit the roof
The shingles were shattered
At every shock we thought
Back through the hours
When the storm had come to take
What's left of us
The wind is picking up
The door gave way
A cold stream down our hallway
They watched from the bank
As the rain
And the thunder
Shook
Tore apart
What what were our homes
The cars on the road
Filled with water
People under roofs
We were waiting
Until they tore off
I watched through the walls
The sky fade from purple to gray
The clouds from gray to black
And knew that we could never go back
That the wind
Had blown
Away
Our House - Track Name: The Dunes
-
The wind is spilling outward
The clouds on the ground
The birds are flying northward
Ships are crashing in
Downpour
No More
Rain rain
Go away
Downpour
No More Back to sea with hurricanes
We put down towels
At the base of all the doors
We hammered in planks
Closing the windows
You took a break
And looked over the dune
You took a moment
And looked across nothing
A great ship is approaching
The sun seeps through the sails
Racing on the water
The sky has opened up
This is nothing
This is nowhere
This is nothing
And it's all endless - Track Name: Born in a
-
I was born
In a storm with no name
A category five hurricane
But it’s alright now
It’s alright
I was born
When the sky fell
I was born
In a breaking eggshell
But it’s alright now
It’s alright
We lay under a mattress
Glass in the air
A pole came through the window
Car alarms sounding
The water rose
Bricks and metal flew
And the roof came crashing
Down, down
La la la la
I was born in a storm out at sea
I was flailing in the waves
As they crashed over me
There was nothing in the water
To hold on
I was sure, we were dead
We lay under a mattress
Glass in the air
A pole came through the window
Car alarms sounding
The water rose
Bricks and metal flew
And the roof came crashing
Down, down
La la la la
I said all things pass
And all things will pass
All things in the past
They’ll finally pass
But the wind will die
The water will dry
But it’ll happen again
Again and again
It’s
All
Right
I’ll hold my breath and dive
I’ll swim with my eyes open
I can see the shadow of a hull
I can see a shape above
The salt is in my eyes
Impossible I see clearly
I can hear the rain underwater
The shape is coming near
I can’t get the salt from my eyes
Ohhhh
I can’t get the salt from my eyes
Ohhhh
I see a hull
It floats above - Track Name: The House
-
The storm is over
But water’s still falling
The sky is bluer than I’ve ever seen
The sky is bluer than the sea
There are leaves in the hall
Ohhhhhh
The sun is shining like a boat on fire
A stream’s flowing down our hall
It came in through the holes in the ceiling
There’s a leaf floating down our hall
It came in through the holes in the ceiling
The wind is a breeze now
The lighting is just light now
We take
All the wet things
To the front yard
To dry them
The clothes
The furniture
The Rugs
The books
The photo albums
Are Wet
The pages
Are sticking
Together
I swear it’s raining inside
I swear it’s raining inside
The clouds have all come inside
The clouds have all come inside
The house is gone
The house is gone - Track Name: Evacuation
-
Lines of cars on the highway
No wind, just a silence
Televised car lights
And we haven’t left
You got the feeling that we should have gone
The dusk a light yellow
Trees lightly rustling
Emergency on the TV
And we haven’t left
You got the feeling that we should have gone
I hold your hand and you hold mine and we go inside
And we haven’t left
Evacuate the town is lost
Take your cars
Leave your house but
We’re on a ship
We’re on a raft
We’re out at sea
Floating
Floating
The sun is gone, the moon is gone, the car’s are gone, the rain’s begun
The tv’s out, the light is out, the phone is out, the candle’s lit
We're on a—
The road flooded
The dunes covered
The land sank
We floated
And you said
You said
You can’t blame
The rain
Your eyes were open windows
Your eyes were open windows
Your eyes were open windows
And you said
You said
You can’t
You can’t blame The rain
The sun is gone, the stars are gone, the moon is gone, the flood’s begun
The candle’s gone, the room is gone, the house is gone, your eyes are on
The flood as it charges toward all the windows - Track Name: The Flood
-
The air looks
Brighter
Water reflecting
The sun
Telephone poles rise like
main masts
Pointing up
At the sky
The air won’t move
The water won't flow
The sun is fixed in the
center of the sky
A clear day
The image blurs
Know the reflection
It's just a shade
There’s a new depth
There’s a new bottom
There’s a new waterline
To stay above
Keep the light in front
Trash is floating
Around our sunk car
Bottles knocking
In the darkness
A blur of colors
A swirling shape
A mirror surface
That only points back
The image blurs
Know the reflection - Track Name: Bonfire
-
The rain's like dust
In the fireflight
Rising up
Into the night
The flames
Wave
In black
Air
Streams of light
On the sand
The night’s
A screen
A black screen
Reflecting the scenes
We think we’ll see
We look through
The night
Through a window
As it’s raining
We see shapes
Blurred and twisted
There’s a breeze
And not much else
There’s a hum
And not much else
A glow on the ground
The light fades away
There’s no horizon
Where the sky meets the ground
There’s a halo
A horizon of light
We look forward, not up to the sky
We wait for the sun
We expect for the day
We’d prefer the night
We dread the day
The black turns to blue
And there’s orange rises
There’s a breeze
And not much else
There’s a hum
And not much else
The orange breaks
We keep our eyes on the embers
We see the waves
Water runs back over our feet
The organge breaks
We keep our eyes on the embers
We see the waves
The days are running faster
There’s a glow on the ground
The light fades ahead
But there’s no horizon
Where the sky meets the ground
There’s a breeze
And not much else
There’s a hum
And not much else - Track Name: Leaving
-
Fill up your mind
With all it can know
It will all go back to the ground
The ground will shake
The ground will change
But it will always be there
All things pass
All things pass
The sun rises again and again and again and again
Only to set
And in the night there’s nothing to see but
Random dots
The sun rises again only to set—
The sky breaks like an eggshell
Fill up your head
With cold blood
Fill up your mind
With sunsets
The rearview frames the east
The town’s a grain
In a field of sand
Beneath a sea of sky
Gently swept away
Fill up your mind
With all it can know
It will all go back to the ground
The ground will shake
The ground will change
But it will always be there
My head is filled with cold blood
But my mind is filled
With videos
And I drive straight
Down a concrete line
And you’re still there
The wind blows West
Sand a cloud
Dispersed
In specks
Across the ground
Glistening
Shapes - Track Name: Dissipation
-
I can’t hear you anymore,
As I’m not listening
The wind is stuttering
Starting and stopping
Loose sounds of an changing tide
Just a shrill false alarm
The wind is stuttering
Starting and stopping
Chaos
The clouds sink
The land falls
A wheezing gasp
From the sky
Through a mountain pass
Organization
Loyalty
The center cannot hold
Turning and turning
And did, did you love me?
And were, you tired of me?
And would you, would have come back?
It’s getting bigger
It’s falling apart
It’s spilling outward
Into itself
The wind blows louder
The mountains don’t move
The hail falls harder
The mountains don’t move
The wind is stuttering
Starting and stopping - Track Name: Place to Stay
-
I'm moving out to a place to stay
I've got a place to start again
Everything is fine
It's just for now
Everything is fine
I'll be back
I'll rebuild it
It’s just new concrete
It’s just a new bed
Everything is fine
I’ll wait for light
I’ll be back
All things pass
I’ll be back - Track Name: Somewhere Else
-
She sat by the sea
She thought of nothing
She thought of me
She loved me sometimes
I loved her sometimes
Until the wind came and
took her away
I see her when I sleep
Sitting on the dune
She’s sitting at the edge
not
thinking of nothing
She's thinking of nothing but me
The water rolls away
It all rolls away
We used to live somewhere else
Dreaming time away
We used to live somewhere else
