"Well Abandonment"
I wanted walls, for something to push against I
wanted waves, for something to row (so)
I went by boat
There's tides all the time, and
they're high all the time
"some Gates'll swing wide, for Us"
Well, I saw it once,
from some window~
8 chairs, 8 people living, hear
when it came limping back,
The whole village had their hands in!
When it came limping home
the moment came
"Accept that the mark will outlast you"
It's fine on its own, it does.

"Under the Lumber"
(instr.)
"an Alley Swing"
I guess some shadows pretty long now, is it safe?
Who's out at this hour?
It waits for you back at home, it blocks the window all day
Is it a sign?

"Sphereless"
What the hell are these bells doing out?
It feels like grace passes over this place
One night, I woke up from a nightmare
One night, I woke up from the rain
One night, I woke up from the house shook
and
One night I woke up from being alone (no, I didn't)
"No Cerra, No"
Wait for the morning sound, we wait for a morning sound,
we wait for a rolling sound, wait for the rolling sound, Lo,
Another voice came in, "Fa!"

"The Place changed, We didn't"
What else could it become beside(s) another hole in the ground?
A hole in the ground.
They're hopper, they're turner, they're miller, they're weaver,
Teller calls crier's joy,
as burg became fill.
They found some way into these lands like no one else,
We took their place with no regard
for what they called themselves
