Haven

Living too long with the city's limits
One-way search for air and silence
No weeks, days, hours or minutes
A tapestry of green unfolds
This is where I want to stay
Throw the telephone away
Few things are for certain today
This is where I want to stay
I know what's real is outside
Haven, for a nation of two
Haven, dedicated to the one that grew
One-way road to air and silence
A tapestry of green unfolds
Haven, close the door behind you dear

Signal to a passing ship
Lighthouse burning down
Glowing one
Drawn to the bottom
Pushed up to the sun
Drawn to the center
To start over again
We on the surface
Content to stay alive
Chain of hand-held links descend
Beyond the reach of other men
Lonely one
Drawn to the bottom
Pushed up to the sun
Rising on a column of smoke
Held within a simple note
We on the surface
Content to stay alive
Prepared to tip the scale against
The one who comes inside

Hello, my friend - come on in
Did you remember the way?
A fork in the road
Is never the same
All the time in the world won't bring it back
All the money in this world can't make it last
Accept the vessel, accept the clock
You are free again
In our beds, in our heads
Come in my friend
There comes a storm
I cannot sleep without you
I can't be free again
Do you know the way?
Do you wan't to stay?
We could do it today
Possess the vessel, possess the clock
You are free again
Accept the here, accept the now
We are free again
All the time in the world won't bring it back
All the money in this world can't make it last

Sky Wide Open

Ask me where the clouds come from
Or how to find a rainbow's edge
All the answers sound the same
But the question never rests
Although our form is new
We can help them if you want us to
I would never harm you
I would let you go
Sky wide open
You'll find home again
To a place you've never been
Ask me how the new moon sings
Or how my angel got her wings
All the answers are the same
Seeds to questions yet to bring
Because our form is new
We can change them if you want us to
Sky wide open
World at your feet - driving you
There is no wall
You'll find home again
You find hope again

Focus, take your time
What if I'm mistaken?
Is this all unsound?
Too late to reawaken?
Too late to turn around?
3 A.M. ... 4 A.M.
Focus on the next step
Focus on the next breath
Focus on the light ahead
Focus on the next step
I know it isn't easy
I know the words are strange
If there isn't time enough
It's time that needs to change
Locks of memory stitched together
Cannot a history make
A piece of a dream forever
Sleeps in the lake now
Focus, the time is right
How can I be mistaken?
Inside of all this sound?
Focus on the next step
Focus on the next breath
Focus on the light ahead
Focus on the next step
You know it isn't easy
You know the world is strange
And if there isn't time enough
It's time that needs to change
Locks of memory stitched together
Cannot a history make
A piece of a dream forever
Is yours to take now

Horizon
04:04

|
I touch beneath the velvet door
I smell the sound I've seen before
I have no words, I have no voice
Before the lips, before the choice
Horizon or the edge?
Will I be coming back?
Here there may be tigers
And teeth behind the mask
Watch what happens
Tides are overdue
Watch as they fly away
They'll be leaving you
Now we repeat the story
Now we repeat the day
I am beneath this velvet door
I taste the sound I've seen before
Horizon or the edge?
Will I be going back?
Here there may be Eden
And peace behind this task
Watch the candle
Flame is dancing
Watch - it kisses you
Flame is laughing
Now we repeat the story
Now we repeat the day
We see the world grow smaller
We feel that we must feel betrayed

Sleepy Boat to Heaven
04:24

Open your hand to an old companion
One you knew in a children's rhyme
Coin a phrase, turn a key
Spin a dime, talk to me
I could move the world , I could lose control
You could sell my thoughts, I could steal your soul
I knew all the words, you knew all the moves
You could seal my fate, I could win or lose
Sleepy boat to heaven
Amen, she said
The world is right
Rain's coming in
And it sounds so dreamy
Born to speak, speak to learn
Learn to wait, wait your turn
Born to speak, speak to learn
Learn to heal, heal the burn
Amen, she said
The world is right
Coin a phrase, turn a key
Spin a dime, talk to me
Take the time to plan for me
And everything will come to be
I could move the world , I could lose control
You could sell my thoughts, I could steal your soul
I knew all the words, you knew all the moves
You could seal my fate, I could win or lose
Sleepy boat to heaven
Rain's coming in
And it smells to sweet
From the streetlights
The only heat
Amen, she said
The world is right

Vampire Rodents Phoenix, Arizona
Sample-Based Composition is a music construction process by which complex organizations of extremely varied sounds can be designed and recorded. The results are complete self-contained sound structures of remarkable density built from hundreds, even thousands of small sound events and instrumental fragments. ... more

An introspective record that fuses post-rock, shoegaze and ambient synth patches into a seamless array of shimmering soundscapes.
