There's a story That when you move closer It won't be there anymore Silent Sneaky little door But when I finally move closer It's still there I won't wonder anymore I won't wonder anymore Behind a silent The silent door I'll vanish Throw away the key Throw away the key Throw away the key The silent door Throw away the key Throw away the key There's this thing we're always saying about changes That we can't do them anymore At least I can't do it anymore And all at once I find myself in a nightmare I'm in a door-less corridor I can't outrun them anymore There's a story Changes Silent There's a story Changes Silent Can you hear me Can you So silent Can you hear me So silent Can you Behind a silent The silent door I'll vanish Throw away the key Throw away the key Behind a silent The silent door I'll vanish Throw away the key The silent door Throw away the key I'll vanish

I'm waiting through these years I'm wading through these years Now I feel Dust accumulate That's the sound of passing time I didn't know it had a sound til now And I am listening Dust accumulates and animates and now I'm changing I read it in a book I think I read it in my own pages I saw it in this room Where I'm waiting in this nook I saw it with my own eyes I heard it with my ears That things are always changing but they're not I've seen a lot of things slowly waiting through these years I saw it with my own eyes That's the sound of passing time I feel a tingle in my left page Where there wasn't one before Dust falls and I feel it joyfully in my spine Dust accumulates And animates I wouldn't say I'm alive But I wouldn't say I'm dead I've got an animation In my core in my spine I'm waiting through these years And I saw it with my own eyes You could've done a better job You could've saved all those species Saved the trees and saved the planet But instead you got a job I'm not surprised You could've tried a little harder And I'm changing through these years And I've got a lot of acceptance Waiting through these years I saw it with my own eyes ***************************************************

Show me something new I dare you Something original It's possibly impossible In this world of noises Long echoes There's four kinds of people maybe Torn So torn I broke the spider's web I'll build it back in my head for her Torn We’re torn together Sewn together again Long gone What you're made of Show What you are made of Interiority is possibly impossible Because in this world We're made of what we buy There's four kinds of people maybe I didn't say I liked it Torn So torn I broke the spider's web I'll build it back in my head for her Torn We’re torn together Sewn together again Long gone Long gone

So you're sad My notes say Keep a journal But I'm sad I'm sad I'm so sad Keep it all inside Keep it all inside Keep it all inside No one knows you're happy No one knows you cried you cried you cried Greet the icy kick with a smile And I am the sea and you're the clouds So don't seek explanations Heap the dread inside Take it all in stride Make a zone of peace inside And I am the sea Don't try to save me And you are the clouds the rain I feel inside Keep it all inside Keep it all inside Keep it all inside Keep it all inside Keep it all inside Greet the grey of day with a smile And you know the line So don't, don't seek perfection It's a lying beast that makes you dead inside And we are the clouds Don't try to save us Reach around my life I'm falling in the sea Keep it all inside Keep it all inside Keep it all inside Keep it all inside No one knows you're happy No one knows you cried you cried you cried No one knows you're happy No one knows you're sad Keep it all inside Keep it all inside No one know you're happy No one knows you're sad ******************************

That’s the sun setting On your ideas And it’s a beautiful sunset I’ve got things to do Gotta go build something To outlast me But I’m not sure what that is I’ll take a vow of silence I’ll make a vow of silence Walking slowly with you in the woods I’ll throw my words to you I’ll make a cone of silence In the snow I’ll throw my words to you No time to listen to the critics Just post away That’s a really cool sunset It’s my time to listen to the words in the snow that I left there yesterday I’ve got words for a lifetime Pink and yellows Fluffy little clouds I’ve got words for a lifetime I’ll make a vow of silence Walking slowly with you in the woods I’ll take a vow Fluffy little clouds I’ll make a vow of silence Pink and yellows Walking slowly with you in the woods I’ll take a vow of silence I’ll make a vow of silence Walking slowly with you in the woods I'll throw my words to you I’ll make a cone of silence In the snow I’ll throw my words to you I’ll throw my words to you

I'm the Lake 03:11
I am the water I am the daughter I am ninety seven percent already water I am the daughter I am the water But I'm mostly I'm mostly my oppressor And if you find me I'll be singing I'm the lake Do do do do I'm the lake If we could all be bodies of water I'm the lake Do do do do I'm the lake If we could all be bodies of water Because I am the daughter Can I smooth this over Can I fit myself into this corner Can I make myself smooth Can I be less grumpy But I'm better I'm better than this offer Could I be Could I be Could I Could I be Could I Could I be I'm the lake Do do do do I'm the lake If we could all be bodies of water And I'm the lake I'm the lake Do do do do I'm the lake If we could all be bodies of water Bodies of water And if you find me And if you find me I'll be singing Bodies of water And if you find me And if you find me I'll be singing

I can hear the voices and the symphony I can hear the noise I can hear the voices coming through I can hear the voices and the symphony If it's for me Or if it's for you I don't think it really matters What matters is the truth Conversations Overheard like I'm a friend I don't think it really matters Patiently waiting I am here for the truth I hear outside voices I am the radio tower I'm outside Where the clouds are forming I will be struck by the truth I hear outside voices Outside voices I can hear the words Can I glean the meaning in them I am just a metal neighbor listening If it's for me And it's not for you I'll build a museum of meaning I'll curate the words for you Conversations Overheard like I'm a friend I don't think it really matters Does anyone hear it all Patiently waiting I am here for the truth I hear outside voices I am the radio tower I’m outside Where the clouds are forming I will be struck by the truth I hear outside voices Outside voices Outside voices I hear outside voices Outside voices Outside voices I hear outside voices

It's already Sunday I can't believe the days just pass away My brain won't let me make long term plans And I’ll sigh away I'll put it in the junk drawer of my brain And float away Float away Do you collect love in the sunshine I only find it sometimes An ingot in the dark Rain falls it washes away my sunshine I only find love sometimes An ingot in the dark I want to be sincere I want to be a friend to those in need But I’ve got some needs myself And I’ll cry I’ll cry my tears into a cosmic sea And float away And float away for another day Do you collect love in the sunshine I only find it sometimes An ingot in the dark Rain falls it washes away my sunshine I only find love sometimes An ingot in the dark Every day Every day Every day The sun sets in a simple way I only find love sometimes I only find love sometimes I only find love sometimes I only find love sometimes I’ll put it in the junk drawer of my brain For another day For another day For another day For another day

Let me tell you about something that I saw I saw a person slinking up the hall She had my face but didn't look like me at all My past self coming for me up the hall I’m so, so confident It’s there I go searching in the dark For the things that left us I know that things are waiting for me The things that left us Things that are waiting Let me tell you about something that I know Most of life is an uninspired ritual I saw a person standing in the rain Half hoping to understand my pain My dream self coming for me now in the day I know that things are waiting for me The things that left us Things that are waiting I know that things that are waiting for me The things that left us Things that are waiting We live in a sea We live in a sea of infinite darkness We're not meant to voyage far We live in a sea of infinite darkness We’re not meant to voyage far I know that things are waiting for me The things that left us Things that are waiting I know that things are waiting for me The things that left us Things that are waiting Things that are waiting In the dark Things that are waiting I go searching in the dark For the things that left us I couldn’t see it all In the dark And I know I know things are waiting The things that left us For the things that left us

We must believe in something I believe in Vitamin C I don’t believe in anything We could start with me I gotta say something Take a Vitamin C I don’t believe in anything Why would we It makes a lot of sense So just hear me out It makes a lot of sense Unexpected happiness I feel unexpected joy And I won’t let go of this This unexpected joy So we’re back to this And I’m fine, fine, fine, fine, fine We gotta do something Take a Vitamin C I don’t believe in anything Except what I see on TV Don’t try to convince me That everything will be fine I’m listening more to the voice in my head And she’s doing fine Fine, fine, fine, fine Unexpected happiness I feel unexpected joy And I won’t let go of this This unexpected joy Don’t let go of this Joy Happiness

about

Spells of Silence is a collection of haunted house songs: doorways open into impossible spaces, crying in a dusty corner transforms her suddenly into a body of water, and she finds unexpected happiness in the smallest things.
