Drift Dive 04:49
Waking up...I’m not awake. The planet drowns in a hundred days, Dissolving into a million pieces in a billion places. A million pieces in a billion places. A million pieces in a billion places. Slow it down... Wait it out... “We can’t run, but we can go swimming...” Diving in late at night, We come together, Dissolving into a million pieces in a billion places. A million pieces in a billion places. A million pieces in a billion places.

If I seem much different, More removed, If I seem distracted, It’s not from you. If I’m really here now, In a place and time, Does someone look just like me on another side? If you receive a letter in two-thousand twelve, It could be the last letter you could send to yourself. On an endless ladder, Climbing higher, Climbing higher, Crawling out... On an endless ladder, Climbing higher... So I feel much different... So confused... So I feel refracted... Split in twenty-two... So I’m really here now, In a place and time, (Though I know I might not be on another side.) If I receive a letter from 2017, I would know how to read it, but not what it means. On an endless ladder, Climbing higher, Climbing higher, Crawling up... On an endless ladder, Climbing higher...

Crest 03:42
Wait in the dark for me. Wait ‘til you hear my feet. Through & through, they wanna walk all over you. Run where they can’t follow. Wait underwater with me. Swim ‘til you’re half-asleep. Through & through, they wanna sink and maroon you. Float on your back, Take me closer to truth, but much, much further. Through & through, I’m the ocean under you. Float on your back, Take me closer to truth, but much, much further. Closer to truth, But much, much further...

Zelda 05:31
Zelda- You asked me to wake you If I woke up before you, And you were still stuck inside. I’m here to tell you, “We’re not awake yet.” Zelda, We live between two worlds- A tunnel with two lights, Pitch black in the middle. Like a dream’s dream (A copy’s copy) Zelda, It’s just not important- The small things we suffer, They’re infinitesimal. We swim in an ocean. It swims between us.
