Nogrod

Nogrod thinks of all the times his friends have called him ugly
Makes an even uglier face
Slumber drunk he dreams about the draught he'll drink when he's awake
and of elf maids in lace
All his life he smiled at the thought of being on the outside
All by himself
He's counting all the gold and jewels he's pilfered from those
Glittering caverns and caves
Shout into the void abyss that Nogrod calls a conscious
For an echo we'll wait . . .
"All my life" he said, "I've worn dishonor on my head"
"All of my life"
"So what if I'm wasted all the time if the dungeons shudder when they hear the name . . . Nogrod"
He's gone
Fills the skulls of his slain enemies with dwarven mead
and when he drinks, when he drinks, he's gone

Human Sundial
01:58

Shone like a sunbeam: beautiful and warm
Blind but for the color of your eyelids
No world exists outside
Planted feet and telling time
What now human sundial?
But it beats the hell out of working for it
Beats the hell out of wallowing for life
Sundial I wish I knew
How you stare the way you do
Could I stand beside you
Minute hand to your hour
Bet it beats the hell out of disappointed dreams
Oh well, there is nothing else I need to tell
Than the angle of the sun
Farewell, time for me to punch the clock
Sundial

Clotho

How long a line to bridge the yawning gap of space and time
and where's it wearing thin
Hello it seems
Your hair is stupid and your shirt's unclean
So wear it outside-in
Hollow
How low I'm feeling
Hollow
How long I'm sleeping in
I can't take this chore
Why should I try more

Stir
03:45
|
|||
Hurt you like
Only someone who is too close might
What a shame not hardly even trying
But that's just it, isn't it?
Stirring earth
Until it rises and is finally heard
Waiting so long to describe in words
Feeling burned
(Blossoms withdraw)
(And winter freezes)
(And when they thaw)
(The snowmelt feeds them)
Feels good to just let it all out

Figeater

Feeling fall colors in the sky turn
Marigold edging as the sun burns
Is it cool
Is it funny if a little bit of fire in me goes out
Don’t blow me out
End is near but farther than the wise say
Fall awake and find a brighter day
Full of life
Would you be there when I go?
Make it so
Breathe the water, never so
Well you’re out of time

Bitter Flower
03:10

Why do I come over here to keep you company
I am watching you are watching me watching T.V.
My eyes wander ever closer to the door
Linger longer than I ever have before
Bitter flower careful what you're begging for
Won't come down here I won't bother you no more
and I wonder what it'd take to lose your mind
and I wander but I am cursed to never find

Droll Tucson, Arizona
Droll rolls through deserted landscapes of forgotten, 90's alt and underground sounds sifting fragments of melody for a sweeping mosaic that grabs you by the shirt collars and leaves you with a soft kiss on the forehead.
