1.
Sleeping 03:53
Once I cared I drew poison from you hand I was saved Until the devil caught me off my guard Oh how fine It must be to walk away Velvet your defences I’m not here to take you I’m a hawk weaving the mountains A heron in the fog Oh how fine you are Looking over The waves are reversing The sky is high and grey And all through the ruins Bells ringing out Oh how fine it must be Oh how fine it must be Oh how fine it must be Oh how fine it must be
2.
Skull 04:58
When I see you in my mind You’re always standing in the river With a skull in one hand and A blade in the other Lost in the currents of your own signal and noise, flying You walk like a blade Love and rage on your back Through the mire of the crowd Through these mean streets, flying And when your voice cracks The shards glisten on your tongue Now the words caught the wind And I can’t get them out And I need you and I don’t want you to know And if you are with me I need all of you As they’re closing in If you’re with me I need all of you flying
3.
Tell 03:09
I can’t tell you all I saw the truth In your eyes in a moment Spilling over the mountains Casting the canyon Sweeping the corners Like a blue steel medallion In the glow and fade The river below and The skies are all dancing Oh… This whole time Holding on but its broken You came at me Your hands and voice shaking Your hearts grown immune From the hits that its taken Cruel world Fantastic planet Chewing and spitting you Out off the line Oh… This whole time Holding on To nothing
4.
Kills 04:41
You walked into my dream With honey in your teeth With your thumbs in your belt And a juniper tongue This kills This kills This kills This kills me And where you just at war With yourself I’m not at ease and I’m not ready I'd go into the void if you’d let me A snag caught my lip when you kissed me A thorn caught my wrist and I’m done This kills This kills This kills This kills me Oh devil me, devil mine He’s like the sun and He knows it If you had the answer you wouldn’t show it If you had the answer you wouldn’t show it This kills This kills This kills
5.
The Devil 02:18
I bare the devils mark Ever since we kissed that night I knew It was over No one understands No one loves me quite as well as you did Before Now you’re gone Gone Gone And I just can’t understand Take me all the way Out into the light So I can see how things are Take me all the way Let the tide take me out Now you’re gone
6.
Fixe 04:38
Fixe You came around the corner shifting and changing Your skin is on fire, the lights are too bright oh Holding on, holding in for vengeance but Can’t quite feel the wall, well hey Your feet started sinking in the floor in kitchen You almost found the others, now there is nowhere to go Tell me was there something? Some kind of meaning? I have a right to know You wanted to speak but everybody’s dancing Now you can’t hold back but you can’t get it in You’re such a fixed position Your eyes are so intense They wanna give, they wanna shed a skin But they can’t All your friends lit a fire behind the motel They burned all your things, now they’re dancing around it See why they don’t like ya’ See why you can’t to bend to the will, but you can You’re fixed in the bedroom, Tears rolling up You’ll lose your grip If you let it all in They’ve looked inside your whole human being And humbly decided that you’re Just not the right fit You took all your demons and all your longings And took them all down to the water at night But they’re eyes are averting to the inconvenient burden You can’t afford to just sit by the house Cause its on fire
7.
Secret 04:07
Someone tried and failed To burrow as secret passageway between our minds And although I’ve seen all the ways you tried to reach out Well I can’t go on lying For your love For your time For your heart For your mind All the lights are glowing They seem to resonate with your mind And although outside all the winds are howling While in here it’s all summer wine For your love For your mind For your heart For your time Who knows how to mend a bone in shadow I cannot show or tell you the way
8.
Alta 03:48
Time undivided Lines that don’t meet Wandering around on the side of a mountain With a knife in your teeth You know I don’t get it You know I don’t understand Well I want you to see me for what I am and I Want you to be my man There are eyes on the back of your neck And eyes on the palms of your hands And your silence reminds me of why we stayed Why I’m on this road that I’m on
9.
Crime 03:53
It’s not a game But you make it It’s not a crime You know Watching the shadows Grow in your mind A thick grey heavy Kind of smoke Into the throws How they pitch and bend you Into whatever New darkness you’ve found To surround you Hold on to the meaning Don’t get lost in the low

about

Ora Cogan

"Cogan can be strikingly sparse and overwhelmingly composed in the same sublime breath. She summons orchestral waves of violins and rolling psychedelic guitars, propelled forward by a voice that sweeps audiences away under a tsunami of blissful sonic complexity." - Sled Island Festival ... more
