Loud

a whisper to shatter glass/ a pressure so great i heard the Heaven's gasp
a depthcharge to sink this Island/ a noise so loud a thousand flail their limbs and will it to end

a firm hand sober/ a finger on the bridge of my nose, a child born five hundred times wouldn't get it right like you have/ wouldnt get it right at all/ would amount to less than half.

Sodium

the wait began ring the bells/ village up in smoke
wait began nothing to do, a flutter in a ribcage, a tremor a choke

a lucky break / a sugar snapped sweet forehead kiss
look here another one ruined/ stuck like a pig you've blown all this

but still you stand curtains drawn/ busses pass the gutters hiss/ but still you stand
i will not forget it will not hold back/ i will remember your gift/ it will not retreat i will not bend

Pocket

Satin lined/ i had hair pulled today/ satin lined you made the only sense today
i was led in circles today and left to shake/ held my shoulders back and did not bend/you did not break or lie

im pretty scared/ i had my hair pulled today
im pretty tired of this/ i only want another/not another relay

you brought me only peace today/ is it too much to ask/ is it a price to high to pay?
you brought me only peace/at rest in your pocket
you brought me a peace today/ i will move in that direction/ in you image i will chase that day.

Wooden.

i'l rest on flagstone/ i'l rest and breathe deep until i feel a stretch over grey bone
i have these arms/ i have a need to serve
i have these arms/ i have a time to serve
i have time now/ i have a lover to serve
i have only these arms/ i parade infront asking to serve/ infornt of those i dont deserve
it winds in ropes to the shore/ it moans and pulls yet more
only these arms to hold you up/ a pitiful excuse woman/ but even broken they are all yours.
