1.Little Expressionless Animals
Lyricist:Denise NouvionEvan Abeele
Writer(s):Denise NouvionEvan Abeele
Softly held the light beneath your skin
Never drew a breath between our names
As you come aware that something's left
Everybody knows that you are dead
I can feel this place becoming what it never was
Do we embrace the hours, as if we never lost
One lonely resignation; tethered to your thoughts
I'm dreaming through these motions, in hopes that it will last
And I won't follow you back home
2.The Kids Were Wrong
Lyricist:Denise NouvionEvan Abeele
Writer(s):Denise NouvionEvan Abeele
Go to sleep, nothing's changing
I'll be right here by your side
Break the teens, colours fading
In the stillness of the night
You're thick-skinned, but it seems
You're hiding in daydreams
Can't find our way to the light
And when this routine ends, through nights and weekends
we'll see daylight through the blinds
Drifting in a cold state, the glowing cracks of old days
Bodies slack and pressed beneath the hour in your eyes
Fingernails and cold skin, your parent's bed we lay in
Arms outstretched to emptiness; the space you've left behind
Go to sleep, nothing's changing
I'll be right here by your side
Tear the seams, we're not aging
Beneath these trembling star-lit skies
You're thick-skinned, but you know
It's beyond our control
Shadows gleaming in our eyes
Been living a past dear, be free from those dull years
And we'll see daylight through the blinds
3.All Our Wonder
Lyricist:Denise NouvionEvan Abeele
Writer(s):Denise NouvionEvan Abeele
You were always the good one
And now you are the lonely one, and so am I
You dig your heel
If walls could feel, it'd hit like thunder
You suffered in silence
Two thoughts; it was the sound of one, but not enough
Inside your heart
Can't fake a part
No more silence in me
We're not the lucky ones
We'll never be the lucky ones
What you found was a way out
Not much, but it's the thought that counts, and so I try
To make a start
To fake a part
4.Punctum
Lyricist:Denise NouvionEvan Abeele
Writer(s):Denise NouvionEvan Abeele
It's not enough to live your past, through photographs
Uncovered
One falling breath you've held in time, encased in light
Now fading
I can't feel you in these scenes
An absence leaves this incomplete
Kept you alive, but it's unclear, what holds you here
Unaging
Echoes of life embrace these walls, 'til they dissolve
Cascading
I've been searching for you in these frames
By face or name, your eyes...
Where's the fight you are feeling?
When life takes away each fleeting part of what we are inside.
5.Heirloom
Lyricist:Denise NouvionEvan Abeele
Writer(s):Denise NouvionEvan Abeele
Between a state where years collide
And we can just lie still, waiting for the day to spill
And watch the light slowly arrive, pressed against my eyes
Tracing all your lines, slowly
Lie on the ground before the lightning strikes
Just don't drown in the flood
Been weaving threads between our names
A pact to carry on, in case this all goes wrong
When we were sleeping thorugh the years
The days all seemed far off, until the sky swelled up
Slowly
Can we survive without measured time?
6.Bonfire
Lyricist:Denise NouvionEvan Abeele
Writer(s):Denise NouvionEvan Abeele
It's getting late, 'think I'll turn in
The moon is out and it's much too cold to swim
I left your photo in this pool
With all the thoughts I weave, in order to recall you
Out in the pale grey mothlight sky
I see my breath like ghosts too fragile to take flight
I held the photo to the light, and traced the symmetries our
fingerprints divide
And I'll keep moving westward, along these streets at once
ascending
Shift beneath the floorboards of our bed as you lie sleeping
And I will bring you fire to dissolve the memory of
All our wonder, unavenged
In silence, keep repeating
It's the same
7.Pale Blue
Lyricist:Denise NouvionEvan Abeele
Writer(s):Denise NouvionEvan Abeele
Hold me under
Pull the covers
Lights on water
Reasons falter
We're not alone
8.Walk With Me
Lyricist:Denise NouvionEvan Abeele
Writer(s):Denise NouvionEvan Abeele
It started when we were younger
Beneath the lead eyes of the city skyline
We gave ourselves to the current
A surface unswayed in our wake
I rest my head on your shoulder
And dreamt we were gone, but our names remained
Felt the pulse of the water
And left behind all my old ways
This life could be graced with symmetry
Walk with me, do you walk with me?
I can't forget the place this started
Walk with me, will you walk with me?
9.Kinds Of Light
Lyricist:Denise NouvionEvan Abeele
Writer(s):Denise NouvionEvan Abeele
Our bodies lie on the water
On the water, we drew breath
Before we suffocate, 'felt the glow of better days
Heart is beating, memories creasing
The self revealed in folding paper,
It's just vapour, we're just vapour
The plans we made, the names we'd break
I felt a home there, I hid my own there
I can't see you behind all these waves
The more I look the more you fade
I can't see your face amongst these waves
The more I look the more you fade
And I'd hoped that we could go out and see it
(we'll be in a better place).

11.Sleep Patterns
Lyricist:Denise NouvionEvan Abeele
Writer(s):Denise NouvionEvan Abeele
Wait indoors, slept to waste the time
Until I hear the sound of your footsteps
Climbing up the porch as it rains
Trembling voices propagate these rooms
I keep my eyes closed and listen to the trains
Pull the sound
What lingers through this space that fills this house around
Was I alone in thinking something good?
Water stains on the pillow where I lay my head
Do they say that I was sleeping
When away do I wait, shadows climb, window fading days
As I trace the light that flickers through the room
Pull the sound
What lingers through this space that fills this house around
Was I alone in thinking something good?
12.Lately
Lyricist:Denise NouvionEvan Abeele
Writer(s):Denise NouvionEvan Abeele
Lately, I'm not sleeping
I'm not breathing
Without machine
Lately, my heart's been breaking
My heart's been breaking
Through the seam
Aah, aah
Shut me off, shut me up
Shut me off, shut me up
Aah, aah
