Slowly progressing from experimental beginnings to more traditional modes as her creative output took shape, Natalie Mering's work as Weyes Blood grew more straightforward without losing its haunted edginess. Starting out as part of the noise underground, she eventually cleared the sonic detritus away from her songs until they resembled more traditional folk and soft rock on gorgeously produced albums like 2019's Titanic Rising or 2022's And in the Darkness, Hearts Aglow. Multi-instrumentalist Mering cut her teeth in the world of noise and experimental rock, playing bass in Portland-based freak rock collective Jackie-O Motherfucker for a time before venturing out solo around 2006. Originally billing herself as Weyes Bluhd, Mering's earliest releases arrived in the form of limited-edition cassettes, a great testing ground for her darkly folky songs that twisted around noisy, electronic undercurrents. Weyes Bluhd embarked on several tours, including a European stint with Brooklyn experimental act Axolotl. Moving to Philadelphia, Mering continued to develop her sound, sometimes playing shows billed as Wiseblood, sometimes joined by a rotating cast of backing players she dubbed the Dark Juices. It was with one incarnation of this backing band that she made her first widely received album, 2011's The Outside Room, released on Not Not Fun Records and attributed to Weyes Blood & the Dark Juices. Among other collaborations, Mering added guest vocals to the 2012 Ariel Pink album Mature Themes and toured with him as well. Ever nomadic, Mering relocated to rural Kentucky for a time to study herbalism, and also spent time living in New Mexico and Baltimore before eventually landing in New York City in 2012. She followed her debut in 2014 with the pristine and autumnal sounds of The Innocents, released on Mexican Summer. The Cardamom Times EP appeared in 2015. The following year, Mering and Chris Cohen co-produced Weyes Blood's second Mexican Summer full-length, Front Row Seat to Earth, to widespread acclaim. Weyes Blood and Ariel Pink collaborated on a 12" EP, Myths 002, which was released by Mexican Summer in early 2017. "Andromeda," the first single from her fourth LP, Titanic Rising, appeared in January 2019. The album was released on Sub Pop that April to critical raves. The touring in support of Titanic Rising was lengthy, and before 2019 was up, stripped-down versions of four of the album's songs recorded during the touring cycle were released as the Rough Trade Sessions EP. In 2020, Mering sang lead on the song "Oh How We Drift Away" from comedian/actor/musician Tim Heidecker's Fear of Death album, and in 2021, she joined Lana Del Rey and Zella Day for the cover of Joni Mitchell's "For Free" that closed out Del Rey's Chemtrails Over the Country Club album. In November of 2022, fifth Weyes Blood full-length And in the Darkness, Hearts Aglow was released. The album included guest appearances from Meg Duffy, harpist Mary Lattimore, and Oneohtrix Point Never's Daniel Lopatin.
The Outside Room Storms That Breed When you feel strange In the end of the day When you're down Eyes spinning' round Like the wheel How do you try to feel No one can truly cure my soul A desert fool am I still Without the will to greet The pasture's eyes with my own In the pale night When the moon changes you Makes you blind Don't think twice Let the phase pass over again No one can truly hear me then A broken rope A desert's sign I've flown too high Let me sleep now That I've been to the bottom and up I've finally spilled up cup Now I'm thin watch me spread everywhere No one can put me back in there In there I left this world A roamin' far with no star And I will go unto When the sky takes my own key I fair thee all well Don't miss me I am on the otherside I'm still free Lost In Dreams The dream is living in me To be with my baby In the rising sun To be with him all the time Then we fade our reason And walk underground The day breaks me over On my forehead I am lost in dreams Far in space the outside seems inside Me, where I go, no time I know, lost in my dreaming The places come alive And live color like real life Which world is better Which world is right All of the others Folding in time The otherside Which world is better Which world is mine In time I wish I could Sleep endlessly Fighting off reality Don't fall into escape Shape up and face the door Candyboy This one's bad I'm alone in everything Since you've been coming round Your eyes a sea of The mighty sound Take me out of the swamp of emotion My name does shout To be rid of you In the morning sun We've just begun And I watch the water rise What can be done This one's bad enough And all fire birds sing like those Waterfalls of your mirror So high and unclear Don't fear the cursed dawn Let it drag on I'll sing you baby One sad morning song Don't let the empty feeling haunt you still I will make us our last bitter pill This one's bad enough I'm alone in everything since You been coming round Trying to break me back down Don't fear the missing feeling Let it die All lovers will have their time And I'll be your window You see through me and I see through you Romneydale Oh pictures of Romneydale still surge through my brain The last lady standing there with her backwards name You could not say it forwards You could not give it a sound I stood there on my hiding day far outside of town And I lift my head Not to be fed Into her awful ground I'll be scattered like bees on vines With their own group mind When you're stuck in the pictures of you You're all wrapped up now In your new costume And the lights grow dim as You fade in your tomb The mirror is selfish it holds Onto you Will I ever be seen In a life that's true If my body leaves is my soul made now? The name is backwards You cannot give it a sound Well I'm over there I gotta way to get home Again I'm so fine When I get both Ends in Romneydale I'll be there on the rocks The jagged rocks, counting waves Across my animal sky Two birds always sing From the left And from the right Don't get close to one side Oh when I die in the tied Where she dwells holding onto my body Will be my only hell His Song I can't speak for both of us It's not right to Say I see you there In the moments of despair Longing for what's past I won't leave our Small world to burn But I know it is My turn to let you go I don't know when or If ever again I will feel this way Cancer eyes like rain You get everywhere sideways That's how you left me Will I feel the home I felt in you Or was I just blind With youth dreams That curse the sky Now that I know it's true I can let go When will I know my endless lover Never seems to go Oh since I met you the sky seems So unclear Will I eve find you near Dawn the red window does die Will I ever say goodbye my dear Like a circle that goes through I am always around
The Innocents
Land Of Broken Dreams As I stand up to the wall In fear to define history What lies right in front of me Can't feel as good as it used to be And the dead, any American is found To feel at times blue What can you do When you're sedated And put through the failure Of some man's world Stand by to believe In the land of the free Whatever you want it to be Desperate minds, desperate times To see the altar smashed over By this beast Hours spent, an infinite feast With the screen to devise Your fantasy And when I walk, oh, how I walk To stand and be tall on this burial ground The faint sound The echo of what they first found Must stand on somewhere Stand by to believe In the land of the free Whatever you want it to be So I didn't learn a thing in school About being one with star Chances are We're more far In the curse that divides The sun from you My family My country and my school Have all left me dry To wonder why We were just born to buy then die And change nothing In this time You must be strong Find your song Now In this time You must move on Don't fall behind Now Hang On Oh no, it's me Caught up again Inside my tomb Making plans I give you more Than I have This wrecking game Feels so bad Who can see behind their eyes Who can tell what is wrong or true Is it just you? To hold out till the end, alone Must I own my will To be strong and hang on I will hang on When the rains come And wash away All I've come from The burning spear Of desire No longer takes me Any higher Who can see behind their eyes Who can tell what is wrong or true Let it be you From the start Cause you know what to live for Never goes, it just knows And makes you move on I will hang on I will hang on Oh, I feel free When idle time no longer coils 'round this heart of mine I now can see What light looks like The battlefield's Just in your mind Who can see behind their eyes Who can tell what is wrong or true Let it be you To be pushed And to never stop giving You must own your will To be strong and hang on To be strong Some Winters You won't hold me in my arms anymore We've paid our price Learned from the sores I'm already gone The house of stone we built has turned into sand And you know I'd still hold your hand A hope I can't conceal The memory how we used to feel Some winters end in loss and pain And thus all love ended in shame Shame - that I was broken as a woman can be And I don't think you'll ever see The hours of the dawn That I still suffer on Some winters end in loss and pain And thus all love ended this way In shame Go on leave me for the last time You can't save me again Again Oh, love is what you get Who knows how to start all when it ends And I wish we could still be friends But we won't end that way Sometimes there is just no more to say Some winters end in loss and pain And thus all love ended in shame In shame Summer Summer is gone I can't wait For the time to be alone And think about what I've done Entire summer's gone And its time to put My jacket on And say goodbye Or I'll try Trying to cure Cureless things Weighing the moth And drinking the storm I will be forever yours At least until this fall Entire summer's gone And its time to let Bygones be bygones My dear There's nothing to fear Each time I lose step Further and further From who I am I won't forget what you showed me You showed me How to just be Summer's gone Requiem For Forgiveness I will forgive you Days in my life Are numbered and so rare Holding pain Is not living in truth I forgive you I have no more to hold onto The ship has left my harbor No longer as time sets us free I hope you forgive me As the past fades away sweetly I have learned how to forgive you Ashes Lead astray By a turn in the wheel And now I'm afraid By how you made me feel How bad to dream More of things untrue Ashes of you Still haunt me this way Still haunt me this way Stained by your sun With your eyes open wide You once let me inside Now the time passes me by How bad to dream More of things untrue Ashes of you Still haunt me this way Still haunt me this way This way now Still to this day Still to this day In my own tomb Where I like to keep you All tangled into My own very vision of loss How bad to dream More of you today I'll throw your ashes away Right now Right this day I'll let them blow away Away Now I'm on my own Now I'm all alone My heart longs for Where the grass is green The meadow I destroy So that I am free Bad Magic Get out of bed Put on some clothes And find your shoes At least there's nothing more You could really lose, now is there Drink a cup, had enough The sky don't shine on me anymore Since I been staring here at this floor For too many days Lost my way And got on this train that's running away It's carried me this far But now I can't stay Now, ohhhh-ohhhh Pretty bad magic Pretty tragic On a runaway train And I'm not going insane Things just don't stay the same And I must find a new way Make the best of death And love what's left You're not just a timebomb Just 'cause you went off Don't mean you're scattered Everywhere It's still there, in the palms of your hands Just give it one more chance Don't wait to understand Just find a new way Pretty bad magic Pretty tragic On a runaway train And I'm not going insane Things just don't stay the same And I must find a new way One more day My soul can give It'll work out for me When I need the man That makes the blind see Through me See through me See through me February Skies February skies And tombstone morrows Fires die As I wait for thee Heaven sent me To your doorway Without the right key Now I wear my own heart, open To changes in the wind All alone now I'm Now I'm all alone You must carry your stone This winter day On your own Build your fire ever higher You're going to need That light to see Mind or matter Which one burns faster? It's your call When you fall All alone now I'm Now I'm all alone You must carry your stone This winter day On your own First day of spring Winter must bring First day of spring Winter must bring First day of spring Winter must bring Well, you weary child Wondered so long Now you can follow The sun The sun Fool or folly Choose your doorway To stay behind And waste your time I will find my someone someday I'll find a friend To break bread All alone now I'm Now I'm all alone You must carry your stone This winter day On your own Montrose - They say you killed a man - Do you believe them - Not until you tell me - You believe everything I say, don't you - Everything you say to me, I believe Bound To Earth Bound to earth Chained in madness And foolish games That we like to play Sin and mothers Pain from others Who thinks of home When it seems so still It's hard to be real But you must see the salt In your own free will And the sun Carries on Drawing me near And the times Have their lines In space and rhyme The beauty we hide Bound to earth Made by air With a mind to see Past my hurried feelings Fire eyes Mission cries Don't fall asleep To the treasure you keep If we run and pretend We're no friend Of her How it feels To admit it's all real This sphere Guided us here Bound to earth Chained in madness In love and in pain On our physical plain
Front Row Seat To Earth Diary I stand apart from the rest I had so much to give Where does my life go Those close to me may know I've squandered my time Got rid of that dream of mine And now you can't stay Please, baby, don't go away Just give me more time I'll change my mind I'll change I'll change I stand apart from the rest I now must confess I play a selfish game Only I'm the one to blame I have squandered my mind Got rid of that dream of mine And now you gotta leave Baby, take pity on me We can leave all the pain behind Gettin' rid of that vice of mine Just give me more time I'll change my mind I'll change I'll change I'll change my mind I'll change I'll change I'll change I'll change I'll change I'll change Used To Be In spite of being so late to the game I won't fight fate It's now too late Used to be the one that knew me Saw through me Used to be the one that knew And every morning when I rise Those cold, blue eyes aren't here too The worst came true The binds that break and shatter off When you fall down from the top And your heart stops Used to be the one that knew me Saw through me Used to be the one that knew And if the dawn don't break me If I don't become after No time to go back and find who was chasing which disaster I hold the truth like a tight noose And sometimes you do It's getting hard to get along with your new love song so soon Can it really be true? The binds that break and shatter off when you fall down from the top And your heart stops Used to be the one that knew me Saw through me Used to be the one that knew me You used to be the one that knew me You used to be the one Be Free It's sad to dream It constantly seems Like there's no light at the end of my tunnel False dreams and promises How do I get through to you? Tried to do the best I could Loved you just like a girl should Somewhere I got stuck on you It's just the two of us And I want you to be free Don't worry about me I got my thing Stay close to the edge and try to admit it That you gave it away when you started to care and I cared A long, long time of mine I waited for you to come around I found a one-way street, that's me Still hanging on to set you free, make you believe I'm yours It's just the two of us And I want you to be free Don't worry about me I got my thing I will never fear when you're not with me Do You Need My Love Tired of feeling so had The world that I knew just fell through And left me outside And we may be blind more than the others How it feels so good to feel how I wanna feel Ever since I saw those lion eyes Those tired feelings hide behind your cigarette nights Your love Breaking apart inside Do you need me the way I need you Let's be true for a change Do you need someone Do you need my love Need my love Tired of feeling so bad Giving away everything Gonna learn to take the pain I know that your love stings Passion is the only thing Passion must mean everything I felt your body scream to be set free From the pain of what's gone I'll move you along Do you need me the way I need you Let's be true for a change Do you need someone Do you need my love Need my love Everyone who knows me Knows I'm crazy for loving you, baby Do you need me like I need you Tell me what I could do Do you need me, need me Do you need me the way I need you Generation Why Going to see end of days I've been hanging on my phone all day And the fear goes away I might not need to stay On this sinking ship for long I can give it away everyday I can fly and spend all my seconds Like they're my last It's not the past that scares me Now what a great future this is gonna be Y-o-l-o, why Y-o-l-o, why Used to think it was bad That we were all going mad But now it's fine to leave Goodbye those old things Carry me through the waves of change Carry me through the waves of change I know my place It's a beautiful thing Y-o-l-o, why Y-o-l-o, why Y-o-l-o, why Can't Go Home Walking along, bridge is so long When will I ever reach the other side Time, time flies Woke up this way in the morning Faint from the heat that follows me Everywhere I run no one's got a door open for more And I wouldn't have it any other way I can't go home again And all the riot times and fire nights Burning my body My stars that shine Take me back Oh, no, not again Stuck here in truth Fighter, do the right thing Can you suffer more Let the world carve at your heart Don't need a home if you come apart I have moved more than I can count Twist and turn trying to learn And I wouldn't change my fate Do you look like me when you fight My stars align somewhere I'll be back And if I'm blind to what I feel I hope I can love still, dear I hope you will Oh, no, not again Stuck here with you Seven Words These seven words I say to you, one by one I love you and you have to know If I could change how I'm insane If I could learn to leave my troubles behind It's starting to hurt and I know you moved on Telling everyone how I done you so wrong Cat scratch a beast My words that made you bleed Now I face tomorrow Now I face tomorrow In time we'll both be free from this ball and chain Hanging on to things I want you mostly in the morning When my soul is weak from dreaming When the dust has cleared And you forget that I'm here Hanging on I've been hanging Who had the last word I'm telling you first Who had the last word I'm telling you first These seven words are no longer mine Who am I but a stranger who took you down It's starting to burn and I wanna go home Only home I've known Lost in the storm It had to be seven words to set us free Now I face tomorrow Now I face tomorrow Now I face tomorrow Away Above Away, above Find a perfect love You and me (and me) We're meant to see it through You and me (and me) You and me (and me) I don't feel bad for you And that's what makes us free You can buy into that dream Waitin' for true love to seem real Passing over bridges Faces wanna listen I hope that we'll go home I want to be alone Won't you come meet me at nine I'll bring your worst fears if you bring mine And we can laugh over a night of red wine Got a radio to pay the dream Necessary evil Are we meant to be I swear that you know me

Three Tears Walk into my desert storm No water I find The earth, it scorns My feet carry me long in the day I wouldn't change if it made you stay I'm not crazy Been enough lately Who wants nothing Three tears and then goodbye Come meet me by my shore Where wind and water come to roar I must keep moving like these waves My mind in one place Watch me escape I'm not crazy Been enough lately Who wants nothing Three tears and then goodbye Three tears and then goodbye It took me for a ride If I can't see, then got to leave You know I'm sorry I'm not crazy Been enough lately Who wants nothing Three tears and then goodbye Three tears and then goodbye It took me for a ride If I was mean, or acted unclean You know I'm sorry Three tears and then goodbye It took me for a ride If I was mean, or acted unclean You know I'm sorry Three tears If I can't see, I've got to leave You know I'm sorry
Titanic Rising A Lot's Gonna Change If I could go back to a time before now Before I ever fell down Go back to a time when I was just a girl When I had the whole world Gently wrapped around me And no good thing could be taken away If I still believe that hearts don't lie You're gonna be just fine But, babe A lot's gonna change In your lifetime Try to leave it all behind In your lifetime Born in a century lost to memories Falling trees, get off your knees No one can keep you down If your friends and your family Sadly don't stick around It's high time you learned to get by 'Cause you got what it takes In your lifetime Try to leave it all behind In your lifetime Let me change my words Show me where it hurts Andromeda Andromeda's a big, wide open galaxy Nothing in it for me except a heart that's lazy Running from my own life now I'm really turning some time Looking up to the sky for something I may never find Stop calling It's time to let me be If you think you can save me I'd dare you to try Lift the heart from the depths it's fallen to We all want something new But can't seem to follow through Something's better than nothing Or so that I thought Now I know it's just one dream All these others gonna tear me apart Love is calling It's time to let it through Find a love that will make you I dare you to try Crazy guy I think this is deep Think it's meant to be More than anything I can think of I'm ready to try Treat me right I'm still a good man's daughter Let me in if I break And be quiet if I shatter Getting tired of looking You know that I hate the game Don't wanna waste any more time You know I been holding out Love is calling It's time to give to you Something you can hold onto I dare you to try Everyday Wake up, baby It's getting late now Fell so hard like I always do I'm so scared of being alone It's true, it's true I see you everyday But that's not enough I got this seeker running along a lonely line Always trying to make my keeper mine It gets me every time Then again, I might be falling down Sailing off on the ships to nowhere Got a lot of things to clear away Got a lot of years of bad love to make okay It gets me every day Then again, it might just be me Then again, love's not easy I need a love everyday I need True love is making a comeback For only half of us, the rest just feel bad Doomed to wander in the world's first rodeo You never let it show The other night, I was at a party And someone sincerely looked at me And said, "Is this the end of all monogamy?"

eyes Beauty, a machine that's broken Running on a million people trying Don't cry, it's a wild time to be alive Turn around it's time for you to slowly Let these changes make you more holy and true Otherwise, it just made it complicated for nothing Warm and cold, a place for us too far Living in the rising sun Our life, a feeling that's moving Running on a million people burning Don't cry, it's a wild time to be alive It already happened Nothing you want to change more Heaven found that life went down Everyone's broken now and no one knows just how We could have all gotten so far from truth Love, pain, loving you Everyone knows you just did what you had to Burning much more than ever before Burning down the door It's a wild time to be alive Picture Me Better Picture me better I finally found the time to write you this letter To the stars and moon for you And it's coming back soon Don't need no money when you're around And you're making me act funny Can't help to smile with those

through soon Picture us better We finally found a winter for your sweater Got a brand new big suit of armour It's tough, since you left I've grown so much If I could have seen you just once more Tell you how much you're adored There's no point anymore Waiting for the call from beyond Waiting for something with meaning To come through soon
And In The Darkness, Hearts Aglow It's Not Just Me, It's Everybody Sitting at this party Wondering if anyone knows me Really sees who I am Oh, it's been so long since I felt really known Fragile in the morning Can't hold on to much of anything With this hole in my hand I can't pretend that we always keep what we find Oh, yes everybody splits apart sometimes Living in the wake of overwhelming

eyes Livin' in a lost time The dawning of a brand new man So much blood on our hands The king and queen of being lonely Children of the empire see That we're all lost Comes a cost walking in the labyrinth without love How much can you take And when are you gonna be ok Gain control of what we made Instead of being afraid Children of the empire say That we're long gone In that eternal flame Trying to break away From the mess we made Oh we don't have time anymore to be afraid We tend to live long that's why so many things go wrong People selling the young blood I guess that's the price you pay Make desire but no one wins Won't the fire burn us in Before we get a chance to love again Children understand that they pay for their sins Seize control of what they made Before we all fade away Children of the empire wanna change Cause we're long gone In that eternal flame Trying to break away From the mess we made Oh we don't have time anymore To be afraid, anymore Children of the empire know Know that they're not free Even though they wanna be free We know that we're not free Even though We wanna be free Grapevine If a man can't see his shadow He can block your sun all day He can make you small He has the power to take his love away Six hours on the grapevine And I feel kidnapped this time Cause my baby thinks He always believes That he's, always right But I still think of him at night And ooh, you know I would Go back to the camp With the kerosene lamps in the woods Ooh when you were mine And I was yours for a time On the Grapevine On the Grapevine California's my body And your fire runs over me My car broke down In an old ghost town right around Where they got James Dean Emotional Cowboy With no hat and no boots He stayed up all night Trying to beat up the moon And ooh, you know I would Go back to the camp With the kerosene lamps in the woods Oh when you were mine And I was yours for a time On the Grapevine On the Grapevine Don't know when I'm gonna see you boy

grapevine On the Grapevine On the Grapevine On the Grapevine God Turn Me Into A Flower As long as I stand To face the crowd To know my name To know its sound It's good to be soft when they push you

far Oh, God, turn me into a flower You see the reflection And you want it more than the truth You yearn to be that dream you could never get to 'Cause the person on the other side has always just been you Oh, God, turn me into a flower Hearts Aglow Oh hearts aglow We don't know where we're going Looking for love In all the wrong places We don't know where our love has gone I was so bored Take me to the water babe Show me what it's like to be yours 'Cause I was so bored Take me to the water I'd give anything to hang I've been without friends Oh I've just been working For years and I stopped having fun Oh but baby you're the only one Who'll drive me down to the pier Take me up on that Ferris wheel Oh hearts aglow, we don't know Where we're going We just keep Gettin' higher, hearts aglow You can't control hearts aglow I'm staring at that black water down below Knowing I could fall if I let go, hearts aglow Might be the moon Or the cotton candy or he Might be a man Who actually understands me 'Cause it's been a death march The whole world is crumbling Oh baby let's dance in the sand 'Cause I've been waiting for my life to begin For someone To light up my heart again And in the darkness I can guide you in We're rising over the tide Up on the Ferris wheel at night Oh hearts aglow, we don't know Where we're going We just keep Gettin' higher, hearts aglow You can't control hearts aglow I'm staring at that black water down below Knowing I could fall if I let go, hearts aglow Rising over the tide Oh hold me tight But I'm scared I might fall Just like the water below You don't get to know If your love has all It's gonna take Oh hearts aglow We don't know where we're going Oh hearts aglow We don't know where we're going Twin Flame And how I tried So hard to hide the pain What bad temper we're keeping And so I followed a light Into the night And you kept me waiting In the dark with no place to hide 'Cause we are more than our disguises We are more than just the pain And I'm standing here laughing at my shame 'Cause you're my twin flame You're my twin flame And you got me so cold When you pull away And now our hours feel So numbered and small Holding love for the keeping Did I do something to wreck it all 'Cause we are more than our disguises We are more than just the pain And I'm standing here just callin' out your name 'Cause you're my twin flame You're my twin flame And you got me so cold When you pull away 'Cause you're my twin flame You're my twin flame And you got me so cold When you pull away The Worst Is Done It's been a long strange year Everyone's sad They lost what they thought they had We lost our voices Can't keep with all the changes It's a different world And I am a different I am a different girl And I got shot down And I lit up the sky Before I hit the ground But they say the worst is done And it's time to go out Pick up where we left off from They say the worst is done And it's time to find out What we've all become I should've stayed With my family I shouldn't have stayed In my little place In the world's loneliest city We're not meant to be Our own angels all the time No one comin' by To see if you're alive But they say the worst is done And it's time to go out And see everyone They say the worst is done But I think it's only just begun I hear it from, everyone We're all so cracked After that Got kinda old It happened to me quickly Burned down the house Waiting for someone to save me From this hall of mirrors We slept walked through the years Didn't think we'd all lean in To hyper isolation They say the worst is done And it's time to go out Grab on to someone They say the worst is done But I think the worst has yet to come I hear it from, everyone We're all so cracked After that
A Given Thing Runnin' from the turning I swore I could be good enough It's a given thing Sometimes our love is everlasting It's a given thing And I want you more, my love That could be good enough It's a given thing Sometimes we confuse the dream For one another We're just screaming to be closer To infinity, to love everlasting It's not a one way street Sometimes our love is enrapturing And other times its just unraveling In front of me And it feels like we're burning Makin' ashes of our joy But love doesn't need to destroy You anymore Oh I wanna stop the war Between the broken lovers It's not something you gotta earn From each other It just comes naturally It's there for the taking It's a given thing Our love everlasting Flows out of you Flows out of me too And I can't tell where you end Oh and where I begin Oh it's a given, thing Love everlasting

Butterfly Net (Caroline Polacheck feat. Weyes Blood / Desire, I Want To Turn To You: Everasking Edition LP) Earth went silent London fell asleep She dreamed of winter Where you appeared to me Perfect timing as new petals in November A tender creature, a fever Disarming, fluorescent There you were With your mirror Shining the world all over me There I was With my butterfly net Trying to catch your light I collected Stupid ashes So that after you'd gone I could hold onto something But you stayed unwavering Through every false goodbye Unsubsiding, pining For now and for never There you were With your mirror Shining the world all over me There I was With my butterfly net Trying to catch your light Oh if only The umbrella of the sky Could wrap us up and up That's where I'd zoom in close Dilated as your eyes But till then I'll keep it brief Faithful inertia Her bullet doesn't slow It seeks and finds me How far it goes Heaven help me Take this bag of wings And drown it in the Thames And wake tomorrow, hollow Hardly forgetting There you were There I was With my butterfly net Trying to catch your light There I was With my butterfly net Trying to catch your light

In The Beginning ( Cardamom Times EP ) I gave my strength For years like an ox I pushed And for years like a ship I sank To the bottom of that unknown sea I'm still learning to be free and not so somber Every night I stay up a little longer Searching on that field of stars Do you know who you are?

I just went through the valley I know it's changed Fire from eternity The origin of my dreams In the beginning, I was all dreams Time caught up with me Now I can finally see
