collapse I 00:39
in the beginning no distinguishing sign heat and desire came upon them the first seed of mind.
2.
took my first breath and i learned my name and place i knew i could find my reflection in someone else’s face then before me, your eyes- a book i read a thousand times much like me you were searching for the other back and forth, we’re so unsure still moving one another never near but getting closer feeling for that secret door it’s the place we’re going to returning to our old address standing weightless once again fearless you’re young, we’re out all night kissing hard by the wall we step inside back and forth, we’re so unsure still moving one another never near but getting closer feeling for that secret door

tabula rasa 05:21
standing outside my doorstep leaving i’ve nothing on you, nothing on me i know i know more than before still tabula rasa facing it head first left a scar bleeding getting it right takes a good fight and though i know more than before still tabula rasa i stop and ask a million questions a thousand people nobody knows and nobody gets how do we do what we do the best stepping into a crowd of strange people nobody moves, nobody sees i’m facing it head first, no more dreaming getting it right takes a good fight i know i know more than before still tabula rasa
4.
i know i’m seeing things that you can’t see but it feels like there is less of me the world hidden in whispers, strange geometries i recall i beg your pardon (i buy some time) flip channel to channel i don’t mind scattered faces chattering so familiar “look up look down, love” “look at the door — you owe me more” i know i’m seeing things that you can’t see tomorrow you’ll be cruel and loving and every day there’s less of me but I made you look.

birth 04:56
here a cell a spore (inevitable) a speck of soul fragile and colossal after the long wait now a spark an impulse the world increases insides coming out innocent and holy after the long wait we don’t understand this place incomprehensible these bodies we wear tearing and stitching young and unsteady we’re doing it anyway you is not you while wrapped in this cocoon a bright blade leads the way out of you, into you a sacred spectacle whispered, confessional.
6.
love 03:30
it’s in everything i know it’s the color of mars it starts a life and ends it it never stops try to hide it from your heart dig it a grave from underneath it calls you don’t be afraid who can do that call it by its name how can we know what it really is when none of us see the same it’s a lie you’re feeling you don’t know it at all kept in the dark, under the sun circling round and round and round maybe it’s not the act of it but only our longing that makes us all martyrs of its divinity.

collapse II 01:06
we see two interiors split screen there’s a tunnel that runs between these houses such a lovely situation a perfect geometry two circles meeting at the borderlands
