You got no say on your collision course
You’re just like anyone that way
But I wouldn’t have you coming at a more convenient moment
There’s no better time than today
You made us cry
We saw it in the horse’s eye
You almost flew away that day
But that wasn’t your story
You have many more to write
There’s no better time than today
It was dark outside
You offered up your light
You just had to make the trip earthside
to make it right
You’ve got the best of us
The wind is at your back
Love will embrace you
Let it hold you
They’re calling for stormy weather for a little while
But soon you’re gonna feel the warm sun
on the back of your neck
Now, if you need a guide,
just tilt your eyes toward the thermals
There’s no better time than today
You felt it before
No doubt you can feel it now
There’s something in the air
Makes it hard to fill your lungs,
but you were always so persistent
Telling us, by your existence,
There’s no better time than today

Grey Room (demo)

In the time it takes to make you sleep
Two fawns stray from truth
Mass grows, matter breaks
Tree gives way to tree
Aged hands untied
now still
Your lids stay closed, yet you see
Mind inverting
Phonemes form, figures chase
what melodies release
Soothe and propagate
In the grey room
your sun and moon shine through
Stirring softly
Scenes now unseen
Calling out into thick mist
White noise,
groaning boards
The latch engages
You’ll be surrounded by warm shadows
In the grey room
your sun and moon shine through
Milk and honey coax you forth
to rejoining harts safe in the cover of leaves
where fledglings keep watch o’er us
They nest no more
We greet them and return to the
grey room
your sun and moon shine through
