the storms roar
is so familiar
along with it's breath
and the sky's broken heart
the heart of my home
it's loved to death
i've known you for so long
but i must say bye for now
i'll fade away into pacific wind
taken too ontario woods
cold and silent
where trees with leaves
hold hands in winter
i'd like to see snow

...Boiling, Climbing, Breathing...
I cried and fell all alone
these tears kissed the pavement
you were unprepared
she is waiting out there
but her presence still lingers
you were unprepared
I'm sorry about the zipper
but my mind is green
oh, don't worry it's okay
just say i love you to yourself
and you will be prepared

i walked up too the playground
where we used to play
and died away into a memory
where our fingers embraced
under the cedar trees
where the shrill hum of the lunch bell
beckoned us back
to our second grade classroom
we created our own world there
of grown-up kitchens and pet cats
but it was in that outside air
where we both found a friend
you were the only one back than
and i never felt the same again
we were only eight years old
than one night i found myself on our beach
sixteen years later
and i could see the glow of your city
a fading light far away
from the island where we grew up
and i felt so sad knowing you were gone
i wonder if your behind those other girls' eyes
and i wonder if i'm ever on your mind
and upon that beach where we used to walk
i found myself standing there with the ocean and the glow
wondering if you were looking back at me

and so you have appeared
these drops of saltwater
flow like rivers;
your an angel and i am only me
but in my reverie
your arms hug my virgin neck
as our lips shake hands
oh, what a scene i can only dream
can i snuggle in your embrace?
can i cry in your embrace?
and so you appear
these drops of saltwater
are lakes of sorrow
your a dream and i am only me
can i snuggle in your embrace?
(no you cannot)
can i cry in your embrace?
(i'm not available)
can i be in your embrace?
(i don't love you)

The Room

i woke up in the room
with my name on my wrist
the fresh scar was burning
in that sterile air
and she still loomed over me
she still looms over me
the sharp edge had sung
lullabies of release
and promised comfort
but it was starving
for forearm skin and blood
it's gluttony was fulfilled
i still remember
the dark, grey weather
gliding and breathing
cradled in a window
the psych ward was a safe prison
for the storm inside
i only wanted to sleep
forever.

Probably the most definitive sound of the pacfic northwest ever put to tape and to audio for that matter. Everything Mount Eerie and The Microphones is pure genius.
