Beach People 03:28
I can feel your eyes all the time burning holes into my head and i can see that you've won all the medals that make you a real man. I can see your face in the light of the flames. when are you ever going to hand me those prizes i won for you? I can hear your voice echoing to me on the beach you say, "my heart is where our home was before it burnt down."
2.
Last night i blew your fires out and lit them to the bridges. Dead leaves blow through your big black town where all the buildings have burned down. This is where i was meant to live all of my friends are horses. i'll lift my arms up to the sky and pull the diamonds from your eyes oh i cut off both my hands and i handed them to you. Saying, "there's nothing that i will not do that you're not willing to."

Swimmers 03:02
In my head there's a choir of light shining all out of me. In my heart there's a statue of you but it's too dark to see it. Boy do you, paint the bones of the dead? Can you sleep through the night? While you walk through the woods do you sing with that light, boy? Oh, holy fools who are stamping their hooves in the snow. I set fire to the homes of all of the wolves that i know. Oh, holy fools who are stamping their hooves in the snow. I set fire to the homes of all of the wolves that i know. I rode from this heart with the sun on my shoulders on the september waves and you yelled out to me, to the sound of my dreaming like a boy from the bottom of a well. Do you lift up your voice? Have you swam in these waters or are you drinking the blood washing up on the shore? oh.
4.
I wish that I could see your wind in the pine trees all blowing through the silver skies into the sails of a ship heading east. I hope that the light here stays true through the new year so we can walk down that winding road but I don't really want to know where it leads. I wish that I could hear your voice when the smoke clears as you walk through the prickly pine onto the beaches much larger than mine. and I hope that waves here tear down what my heart fears so I can listen to your magic voice but I don't really want to know what I means. I’d like to think that your eyes never see me but they can see just as easy as mine. So when the moment came when the sun went down and all the light wasn’t able to shine I said, “I’m sorry I rang your cathedral bells.” You said that, “sorry doesn’t cut it for me.” But In the morning light I saw your face While you were swimming in the lake, oh When I heard you singing to me.
