House Fire 03:16
You were born in a house fire You had died by the winter Two hellhounds carried you home, to me Home to me You are my sister-self He has bound our braids And though He damns you back to life You are warmer than before Oh- (You watch me change) (How can you watch me change like this?) I was wrong You were right I was wrong, this time Of all the beds I've made, this is my own Now i walk with doubled footsteps And the blood within me stirs And I don't get much sleep Oh- (You watch me change) (How can you watch me change?) No good deed will go unpunished, Lidian

Daisy Bones 03:53
Life-life and wandering from the woods Angel with seven eyes under palm Secret to even God, Himself Life-life I wander in her depths Not dead, a crown for her Hey, look what I found Hey, I surely couldn't hate you Hurt but unbroken, above ground Itching at something I lost long ago Feel me in every dream till your death Secret to even God Not dead, a crown for her Hey, look what I felled Hey, I surely couldn't hate you

Midén 03:40
Be only all at once then Be only, then, all at once Could you open your hand? Let me live upon your palm Let me sleep inside the lines And absolve them Is there no better man? Is there no better man? I've nothing left but longing for you now I've nothing left but stories of you now And in your silence reach for my guts And in your silence fall asleep in my lap Is she still alive and dancing? Dancing in your light? Is she? (oh how I knew you..)

One needle pulling thread Unholy master To then take you back In deep beneath the covers Only love and only weight Can press you from my breast And ne'er undo my will To keep you underneath My love I, your Stitcher, yeah.
