Wrap me in sleep, blanket of ghosts.


Dustin Kensrue - Blanket of ghosts
_____________________________________________

I've got a feeling, it's hard to explain
Feels like the devil rents a room in my brain
The things im ashamed of feel like dear old st paul
The things that I wanna do, I don't do at all

So bury me deep, cover me with snow
Wrap me in sleep, blanket of ghosts

The spirit is willing, but the flesh is so weak
I wanna kiss her lips, but I kissed her cheek
Just hear my request, give this one on fair way
Please take me home before it's too late

Bury me deep, cover me with snow
Wrap me in sleep, blanket of ghosts

Wake me when it's spring time in heaven
When the tears are all white from my face
Wake me when it's spring time in heaven
When I'm strong enough to walk in that place

Only love is all maroon. Gluey feathers on a flume


Bon Iver - Flume
________________________________________

I am my mother's only one
It's enough

I wear my garment so it shows
Now you know

Only love is all maroon
Gluey feathers on a flume
Sky is womb and she's the moon

I am my mother on the wall, with us all
I move in water, shore to shore
Nothing's more

Only love is all maroon
Lapping lakes like leary loons
Leaving rope burns
Reddish ruse

Only love is all maroon
Gluey feathers on a flume
Sky is womb and she's the moon

Small, hungry points of light surrounding me on every side Like a forest at night This city has eyes.


Logh  - Forest Eyes___________________________________________


You're so very late, but I'm glad you came
This city has eyes
They keep me up at night
There's somebody there with eyes that stare
At night i dream a sleepless dream


Small, hungry points of light surrounding me on every side
Like a forest at night
This city has eyes
From somewhere outside they pan my walls like searchlights
Another night without sleep
Another day without dreams

It's dark outside
It's almost night
The nights, they're all alike
They'll show when i close my eyes
For now I'll just sit tight

I was dressed embarrassment. I was dressed in wine. If you had a part of me, will you take you're time? Even if I come back, even if I die Is there some idea to replace my life?


Sufjan Stevens - For The Widows In Paradise, For The Fatherless In Ypsilanti
________________________________________

I have called you children, I have called you son.
What is there to answer if I'm the only one?
Morning comes in Paradise, morning comes in light.
Still I must obey, still I must invite.
If there's anything to say, if there's anything to do,
If there's any other way, I'll do anything for you.

I was dressed embarrassment.
I was dressed in wine.
If you had a part of me, will you take you're time?
Even if I come back, even if I die
Is there some idea to replace my life?
Like a father to impress;
Like a mother's mourning dress,
If you ever make a mess, I'll do anything for you

I have called you preacher; I have called you son.
If you have a father or if you haven't one,
I'll do anything for you. I did everything for you

There's a million ways out of the city I don't know one.



The Sound Of Animals Fighting - Act III: Modulate Back to the Tonic
__________________________________________

I've been trapped here for one hundred years
Blood, women and drink have been my only vessels on this vessel
Isn't there a way out, now?
Brave friend horizon, bring me back to fourteen

There's a million ways out of the city
I don't know one
His way was to pursue birds, with food in their mouths
Suitable for humans, snatching from them.
Then the birds would follow and snatch it back
And they would all go chasing each other gaily for miles
Parting at last with mutual expressions of goodwill
"Save him, save him", they cried
Looking with horror at the cruel sea far below

We're hanging from our ankles
We're hanging from this spot
We're hanging from our ankles
... From this spot
My hand brings you back up on to dreary land,
To form our end
Form...

I've been trapped here for one hundred years
Blood, women and drink have been my only vessels on this vessel
Isn't there a way out, now?
Brave friend horizon, bring me back to fourteen

Indeed, a million golden arrows were pointing it out to children
All directed by their friendly sign, who wanted them to destroy their way
Before leaving them for the night.
In an unexplored patch as they rose and they spread,
Black shadows began to dawn on them.
The roar of the seas took prey, this is quite different now
And above all, we'd lost the certainty that you would live
When at last it had been steady again, he found himself alone in the darkness.

We're hanging from our ankles
(Is this exactly what you wished for?)
We're hanging from this spot
(I am through with it all)
We're hanging from our ankles
(Is this exactly what you wished for?)
I am through with it all
My hand brings you back up on to dreary land,
To form our end
Form...

We're hanging from our ankles

We're hanging from our ankles

My hand brings you back up on to dreary land,
To form our end

And in the twilight of this hour when fools are mistaken for men this shadow suits me well my regrets are faced in the end


Little Joys - With strangers
____________________________________________________

I bet you're wondering how I knew
That this would come to an end
He stole your heart from you
So you tossed me out to the wind

I keep pretending not to care
Oh the winter scent in her hair
Compels my hands to do
The things my heart wouldn't dare
I'll keep holding on to you
See no use perfecting lives with strangers
If only you, if only now

And in the twilight of this hour
When fools are mistaken for men
This shadow suits me well
My regrets are faced in the end

I'll keep holding on to you
See no use perfecting lives with strangers
If only you, if only now
