LETHARGY AND PATIENCE

 

..Sevenfour (Reiterations).. 

[Main Verse] 
Folding devil's eyes 
Landlocked in bedding, her hair's my measure of time 
Folding devil's eyes 
Landlocked in bedding, her hair's my measure of time 
Folding devil's eyes 
Landlocked in bedding, her hair's my measure of time 
Folding devil's eyes 
Landlocked in bedding, her hair's my measure of time 

*[Main Verse] repeats in background onwards* 

I am a lone cabin crow terrified of being someone 
Just wanna be left alone, living life in my headphones 
I am a lone cabin crow terrified of being someone 
Just wanna be left alone, living life in my headphones 
I am a lone cabin crow, a lone cabin crow 
A lone cabin crow 
Lone cabin crow 
... 

 

..Never Gunned Down So Gently.. 

A bizarre thought graces my head, 
of the scars you left inside my head 
How many fictional songs will I colour 
with indirect shades from how we were? 
There's nothing more at all in my head 
about the nature of things that we had 
'Cept a whisper from time to time now 
that always greets me like a memory 

A bizarre thought graces my head, 
of the scars you left inside my head 
How many fictional songs will I colour 
with indirect shades from how we were? 
There's nothing more at all in my head 
about the nature of things that we had 
'Cept a whisper from time to time now 
that always greets me like a memory 

There's nothing more at all in my head 
about the nature of things that we had 
'Cept a whisper from time to time now 
that always greets me like a memory 
That always greets me like a memory 
That always greets me like a memory 
That always greets me like a memory

..A Ballad of Lethargy and Patience.. 

[Main Verse] 
The snow melted while you were sick 
And my voice darkened as my lungs slept 
The snow melted while you were sick 
And my voice darkened as my lungs slept 

The snow melted while you were sick 
And my voice darkened as my lungs slept 
The snow melted while you were sick 
And my voice darkened as my lungs slept 

*[Main Verse] repeats in background onwards* 

If a mountain falls over you, I'll pull you from the stone 
And if darkness sits around you, I'll carve for you a hole, 
to let all the light in, so you can be warm and grow 
If you fall from higher ground, I'll turn the air into water 
And if you're still cold, I'll carry you to the sun 
I'll carry you to the sun 

Dearest, I don't know how many days have gone 
But dearest, know I'll never leave 
My hand won't want your hand to feel lonely 
Dearest, I don't know how many days have gone 
But dearest, know I'll never leave 
My hand won't want your hand to feel lonely 

The dust has been gathering in the corners of our old house 

Dearest, I don't know how many days have gone 
But dearest, know I'll never leave 
My hand won't want your hand to feel lonely 
Dearest, I don't know how many days have gone 
But dearest, know I'll never leave 
My hand won't want your hand to feel lonely 
... 

 

..Her Hair Is a Measure of Time II.. 

Float easy, city lights 
You're a modern lighthouse on a dark night 
See an old worn soldier back home 
And may it save his life, 
to father children and to take a wife 

Stay patient, old oak 
And take the hand of winged forest life 
And be the veins that reach through time 
And tell us old tales through your bark, 
and through your tired sighs 

Keeper of time 
Keeper of time 
Keeper of time 
Keeper of time 

Keeper of time 
Keeper of time 
Keeper of time 
Keeper of time 
... 

 

..Another Ballad of Lethargy and Patience (Reiterations).. 

The snow melted while you were sick 
And my voice darkened as my lungs slept 
The snow melted while you were sick 
And my voice darkened as my lungs slept 

I recall days gone, 
only spent in places brightened by the sun 
When you'd whisper to me, flowers bent as if listening 
I remember feeling your body, 
thinking that just like on Earth, 
every part of you has been shaped, 
by glaciers in time
