Layer your worth with marks
They ascertain to be true
To what they deem to be good and whole
Tuck away your good heart
Where lies your validation?
Amongst the tangled and lost
My rugged sound got caught up
In asymmetrical shit that don’t mean a thing
Disguise your true disposition
The sky still feels like his hands
On my face turned to colour
Before the waves crash into your dejected reform
Cloak your justifications
Atone for straying past the path
Marked with sharps that don’t make your skin peel away
And face space within your eyes
Relish your simplifications
The natural rasp of the night
Roaming far just to find
The answer was collecting dust in your mind
Hide your soul’s consumption
Cover investment with a shake and a switch
Of unintegral reaction to what feels right
Take a note and make it

Tidal mark
Seaweed 'round rice
So I count
The hours the freckles
'Till it gets dark
Timbral timber
Are you watertight
Check your levels
Tidal mark
Seaweed 'round rice
So I count
The hours the freckles
'Till it gets dark
Timbral timber
Are you watertight
Check your levels
Anchor yourself
To whatever this is
I will take whatever this is
And you'll find your way
Amongst the murky and the mud
I will find a stick with which to measure whatever this is
Tidal mark
I like when it rains
Trickle through
Chasm and the gap
Still apart
Are these goosebumps on your forearm
Neither, neither

Tasmania
Your winter is not bleak
You pour light into the gaps
Another city leaps
While we sleep
Tasmania
You don’t turn the other cheek
You spiral in the mid-morning sun
And dance your way through the harbour
So leave me here
With the cold reaching into my pockets
Leave me here
With Mount Wellington keeping score
Leave me here
With the Bass Strait breathing between us
Leave me here
Beneath the quiet insulation of the stars
Tasmania
Your winter is not bleak
You pour light into the gaps
Another city leaps
While we sleep
Tasmania
You don’t turn the other cheek
You spiral in the mid-morning sun
And dance your way through the harbour
So leave me here
With the cold reaching into my pockets
Leave me here
With Mount Wellington keeping score
Leave me here
With the Bass Strait breathing between us
Leave me here
Beneath the quiet insulation of the stars
Tasmania, Tasmania

It's Raining Again
06:49

I read all about it
Between the lattice pattern on your face
And I saw the way you blinked before
You said her name
And in trees that once felt familiar
I feel a stranger to myself
And to them
And it’s raining again
Raining again
Raining again
Again
And it’s raining again
Raining again
Raining again
Again
Cliffs and orange peel
Conspire to make this feel real
So at 1:38 under the insulate
I try you on for size again
And in trees that once felt familiar
I feel a stranger to myself
And to them
And it’s raining again
Raining again
Raining again
Again
And it’s raining again
Raining again
Raining again
Again
And in trees that once felt familiar
I feel a stranger to myself
And to them
And it’s raining again
Raining again
Raining again
Again
And it’s raining again
Raining again
Raining again
Again
And it’s raining again
Raining again
Raining again
Again
The sound rings louder than our doubts
I told myself that our time was out
And i’ll take my echo down to the sea
And i’ll drink in the resonance of your skin
And it’s raining again
Raining again
Raining again
Again
And it’s raining again
Raining again
Raining again
Again
