Lee Fletcher Nigel's bittersweet bewitching vocals are reason enough to listen, however the mature songwriting and emotional arrangements deserve considerable attention. I can't recommend this music enough. Simply beautiful... Favorite track: Ebbing.

Old Ways 03:06
lyrics
buy track
grace us with your light with your aching smile those here have found out by themselves you hapless precious child steadier as you were as you promised me drug by an aimless bitter beast who veers too close to the sea that's me yeah you nailed it send for smokes, a drink best bring your coat and all to ride it's cold, no stars out tonight embrace us one last time this you'd not deny what was the day those pale blue eyes lost themselves but stayed inside to survive well who knows your old ways might die down if I'm around the chances are hopeful I promise just not today I am out of time

A Comfort Someday 03:33
lyrics
buy track
terror keeps the keys to the best icy burrows and terror clings to things today vapid and invisible before still it's fine I've got well watered landscape and plenty of time away from school I'm happy to say the least though I can't make it right with or without a fight a comfort somehow dawn reveals the life extinguished by my icy window overflowing with prisoners I wonder if he'll last beyond tonight I said to her as mud clung to the towel from carrying some crippled prize broken but still alive so as she blames the dog for what I alone have done vain outcomes of guiltlessness multiply inside me despite all of her mercy which I take without question no never again I tell myself loathing every cell in my body though I can't make it right with or without a fight a comfort someday

Cathy 03:15
lyrics
buy track
cathy relax it's not that permanent this fear you're feeling the shove is imminent you're just resisting while your neighbors pack up and give your garden back their favorite place to trash when they can't face themselves much less their children who watch from outside craving their affection cathy you're wrong you're not that innocent for you've come to be all that you resent nurturing your fury when you lay down curled up replaying strategies to crush each one of your enemies who taunt you daily from outside the evergreens swapping stories the blood on their boot heels because they can't face themselves much less their children who watch from the outside craving their affection in need of direction

Anna 04:24
lyrics
buy track
I owe my sanity and most of my insanity to a cat but to you I owe who I am and who I will become at that no long roads, no wet streets no rhyming trying freezing reasons just feelings held in suspension repentant of all commitment, you're wrinkle resistant when he cleans late into the night to ponder with what is cruel, broad and bare the tempting melted to tasting broken and balding glass you now no longer care for a heart full of parting pools the train rattles your nameless rings you feel my face taut against the fraud funny it's here you choose the place feigning so he'll spill a sign or trace failing yet so careful before my teeth set it's easier by now I bet your eyes pulled for a mouth full the sun off the plates mist fills the maze

Ebbing 04:11
lyrics
buy track
guess it's overrated from where I'm standing from where I will stay fine then have at the high ground we'll manage somehow with you not around you better bring back stories bring back blood to bleed gallons we need and don't you dare disappoint us or all our lives are in your hands shoreline floods my vision familiar buildings soak up the sun not now I'm overwhelmed by the oddest sounds the look in their eyes I know I was so wrong but he was meeker once before he got strong well don't feel sorry for us darling all our lives are in your hands ebbing lurid squander

I'm packing up my bags send me letters and your photographs 'cause I'm packing all I have send me letters and your photograph how much more before I go a few more floors and then I am home I'm packing up my bags send me letters and your photographs 'cause I'm packing all I have send me letters and your photograph how much more before I go just one more door and at last I am home I'm packing them, I'm packing up my bags I'm packing them, I'm packing all I have I'm packing them, I'm, packing up my bags I'm packing them, I'm packing all we have

Made Free 03:22
lyrics
buy track
how could you leave with no more than goodbye? and who dares cross now with what waits 'neath the tide? think on us as you flee from this world you loathe and know that you are in all our thoughts for the worse until you're fully grown still it's his heart that cauterizes our wounds made free by the news though he will not survive one last laugh here as we skip through the ash round our home one last stitch stuck in between my promise and these bones these bones

Dark Dotted Line 03:21
lyrics
buy track
there you are belly up, my dying star stuck in the mud afraid of some love heaven knows that it's time for heaven's sake don't you say never mind I checked twice you are mine oh why do you still stand you know who just I am go trample some leaves it's the sound that you need I like this sleepy nest keeps me still sticks with me the best don't act like you signed some dark dotted line the others would just keep me to leave me except you and your family all my body weighs me down makes a broken brittle sound you effortlessly then dive in after me at first it's all black but then it hits a release of slack I awaken in awe watch you unclench your jaw and though no ideal is discovering us you've gained all of my trust the others would just keep me to leave me believing in what they did not really feel it's revealed

Considering the Odds 02:05

not to be too forward but I think we did pretty well considering the odds so not to be too forward but I think we fared pretty well considering the job the job oh god a fevered slumber more like what's that? we'll give it time? well I suppose I don't mind cold cylinders and salty rain it's the same it's the same she explained

you wear it well a bullet to the shell woke up still entombed all by yourself if I were you I'd still see it through one day they will learn this here is their doom only spare me from all you desire I will yield no more than snowfall stifles fire in a green marshy world with no meadows only briars if you dare join us in the fumes stumbling down the stairs we'll reach the bottom soon this is the day no next time to presume lets get you on your way organize your room now go let out no I am not surprised that it's painful to watch the others undock though they have not a clue of what they will do yeah you heard me right eat what you like eternal little boy slam doors all night release me I'm unarmed all is on reserve just say the word only spare me you are all you desire what a waste I feel what snowfall would fight a fire? in a green marshy world it may as well all be burned
