Capture the Leader
04:12
|
|||
Feel the bed melt into mud, sink into the sandy loam
Tuck beneath the moss and muddy leaves
And close your eyes
Capture the leader
We capture the leader
Capture the leader
Oh, we capture the leader
Now be pulled through overgrowth to an entrance here
Leave the warmth of home back in your bed
And crawl inside
We dream alone
We dream alone
We dream alone
We dream alone
You’re just a kid trapped in the mud
It’s been much worse
And if this trip lays weight on top of you
Crawl back outside
Capture the leader
(We dream alone)
We capture the leader
(We dream alone)
Capture the leader
(We dream alone)
Oh, we capture the leader
(We dream alone)

Thorn and Fern
04:28
|

Don’t wait, it’s coming around again
You can hear it like a train rumbling down the tracks
Crawl in towards the back where the wind grows weak
This rain won't let you leave
One sound that wasn’t even there
One mistake, no one even cared
We grow up with thorn and fern
But do we ever learn
We follow the worm
Do you hear it now, the beckoning ahead
The words whisper through the leaves like a fan above the bed
We creep under thistles that burn
But we don’t ever learn
No, we follow the worm
Do you hear it now, the beckoning ahead
The words whisper through the leaves like a fan above the bed
We creep under thistles that burn
But we don’t ever learn
We creep under thistles that burn
But we don’t ever learn
We creep under thistles that burn
But we don’t ever learn
No, we follow the worm

Passing Through
04:21
|
|||
I’d call myself an animal, but I’m just visiting
And every time you howl, it comes bouncing back to you
I’m not absent, I’m just not here
I’m passing through
If you move aside, then I will too
We’re passing through
It’s as far ahead as it is behind
That trail’s been dug beneath us
It’s a permanent line
But now infinite doorways lead to infinite doorways
The lights grow dim and turn inside out
The path keeps branching off
It’s not clear when I’ll be home tonight
My thoughts keep wandering off
I’m not here
I’m just passing through
Isn’t this the way that we came in
Or is it now the path that leads the way back home
Some will take the high road while others drop below
Who are you?
Who are you?
Some proceed with caution while others cut right through
Who are you?
Who are you?
Who are you?

Get Back to Ground
04:39
|
|||
We climb up through mud towards the creek
To feel the water round our feet
We lie back with bodies to the sky
Waiting for the sun to rise
We let it in
We let it in
Cause we’re all rain clouds and hollows
Doorways that lead out beyond this
Beyond us
We crawl in and under and over
And we’ve gone beyond this
Beyond us
We find the trail, let it lead
We’ll get dirty for a while
Then let us leave
Let us leave
Now we’re all turned around
But we’ll get back to ground
We’ll get back to ground
No we won’t ever learn
If we follow the worm
If we follow the worm
Yeah we won’t ever learn
If we follow the worm
If we follow the worm
We got all turned around
But we’ll get back to ground
We’ll get back to ground
We’ll get back to ground

We Crawl
04:04
|
|||
Here’s to self preservation and feeling all right
And holding on as the cabin begins to shake
You say “Pull yourself together”
That old cliche
As you were as it was as it used to be
Not as it will
As you were as it was as it used to be
Not as it will
Pull up, pull up
We’re bottoming out
We can see the tree tops pulled into the engines
As the floorboards crumble to ground
We go tumbling away
We go tumbling away
We go tumbling away
And we crawl
Yeah we crawl
Yeah we crawl
No one’s even listening, we’re just shouting at the wall
So we crawl under thorn and thistle
Yeah we crawl
Stuff your blame into your pockets
No one’s guilty at all
We’ll just crawl back into the forest
Yeah we crawl
We crawl
Yeah we crawl
Yeah we crawl
We crawl
Yeah we…
