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

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

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

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

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

Fixe

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

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

Alta

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

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

"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
