Wildfire

Peeling off the layers
Like a birch's bark
Deeper 'til I find
Your heart
Wildfires came aglow
So new life could grow
Where your soot lays
Is where I will go

Juno

Obscure stars from my eyes
Distant light reminds me
How quiet the night can be
Breathing slowly into the covers
As raindrops kiss the earth
A cycle that sees no end
Juno's heavenly arms
Wrap around you and me
Juno's ever-reaching hold
Merges you with me
Beating hearts synchronize
Nature's will strikes down on me
Ignites the air and silences the sea
Calloused hands seek a hold
Guided carefully by you
Might just reach out for something new
Juno's heavenly arms
Wrap around you and me
Juno's ever-reaching hold
Merges you with me

Memento

You've taken down mementos
That were once precious to you
And scratched my name
From everything you do
Like the photos that you altered
To change dark into light
My memories of you
Are only black and white
In search of here and now
And some kind of middle ground
But I don't think there's anything
No, not anything to be found
Memento
And to think I built myself to suit your heart
How can you say we grew apart
When I'm still looking for the start
I heard you found hope in somebody else
Maybe I'm just a stupid kid
Yeah, I'm the fool because my heart
Didn't die when yours did
In search of here and now
And some kind of middle ground
But I don't think there's anything
No, not anything to be found
Memento
I can still see my breath on the cold window sill
Looking in, looking in
To a home rotting from within

Time Alone

Bottom then the top
Going down just to go back up
Went here instead of there
In a big rush to get nowhere
I hope when we awake
And we're no longer up high
You won't let me down
Tell another lie
Lose control
You gotta let your love go
Don't you think we all could use
Some time alone?
Speak up
I'm not trying to fall asleep
If it seems like I'm holding my breath
It's because I'm diving in deep
Chasing the rush of blood
But that's nothing new
I only love hard
And I don't want to break you
It seems life is a process of trying
to accept what you can't change
Like your father and your mother
And all the wishes of the others
Can I go with the flow
Can I let it go and...
Lose control
You gotta let your love go
Don't you think we all could use
Some time alone?
To be so close but not to reach
It's the kind of maturity
Only a scarred heart can teach
I'm afraid if I don't leave now
I'm going to be here forever
I just want to clear the air
But I'm choking on your atmosphere

Do you really wanna be here right now
Drowning in another's misery
All I want is a little validation
To match this cold sensation
It's not vogue, it's chronic sickness
That you shouldn't witness
You should know that you deserve better
I can't even get out of my bed
Pillows soaked in tears
I'm living out videos stuck in my head
Hearing the pain of others
To make any sense of my own
I want you to just forget
Everything I have shown
It's not me but I cannot let go
It's all in my head I know
You ought to know that you deserve better
I can't even get out of my bed
Pillows soaked in tears
I'm living out videos stuck in my head
Why
Are you sticking around
Where no one wants to be found?

Twin Bed

Like puzzle pieces I could force to fit
She was everything I wasn't
And I needed it
It was the way she slept all night long
While all I did was replay the same songs
And remember how I thought, "this would fix it all."
But with this love I still feel so small
And you seem so tall
So far above it all
Staring at the ceiling with paralyzed eyes
Not counting sheep or dreaming deep
It's just so lonely when you're asleep
Will we remember the weight of the feathers
In that twin-sized bed where we lied together
I want to be something more but it's all so out of reach
And I don't want to cling to you like I'm some pathetic leech
It's all going to fall when my pillars crack
And I don't want to be the straw that finally breaks your back
The shrugged dismissals you pretend to believe
Everyone knows the story, babe, it's all on my sleeve
Don't be naive
Staring at the ceiling with paralyzed eyes
Not counting sheep or dreaming deep
It's just so lonely when you're asleep
Will we remember the weight of the feathers
In that twin-sized bed where we lied together

Sun Tunnel recommends:
Below the House
by Planning For Burial
PFB is relentlessly crushing; a little sweet, but a whole lot more bitter. Their live shows are a f***ing blast (a sonic one). Below the House is raw, cathartic, and a huge inspiration for me.
go to album
A major influence for the Wildfire EP. It sounds sad but the lyrics are cute and clever as heck. I wish this group was still around.

Like Author, Like Daughter
by Midwife
Haunting sounds to lie awake to.
