For Science!
Waxlimbs
Keeping them alive Is harder than it sounds Spend my nights awake, lit up by their dreams They will die here If I can't wake them up All my creatures around me are silent This is my reason, my dogma, my guidance For science! Keeping me alive Is harder than it sounds Try to end the dream I can never leave They will die here If I can't wake them up I will die here If I can't wake them up All my creatures around me are silent This is my reason, my dogma, my guidance For science!

The Joy of Floating
Waxlimbs
I sold my life I left my world behind One small step The joy of floating Emptiness all around me Bleeding colours from behind my eyes Like gemstone teardrops Looking down, through a glass I sold my life I left the world behind One giant leap The joy of floating Emptiness all around me Bleeding colours from behind my eyes Like gemstone teardrops Looking down, through a glass

Molecules
Waxlimbs
In a silence With each other There are planets Molecules Time and violence Yet another Batch of pauses Platitudes Tiny worlds In the ether; There are atoms Particles Space and wisdom Here forever Field of flowers Short études Falling over Floating under Empty space Bears no direction Blowing clover Wild wonder I erase These quick reflections

Faces In The Fog ft. Olivia Cox
Waxlimbs
Your main intention was not mistake You choke the room with smoke and whiskey taste Romantic views of past now cancerous intake Your main intention was not mistake And I'm sure there you saw Many faces in the fog So high up, wrapt in her arms but You are bare, you are disarmed Your main intention was not mistake The coercion coming closer; the frozen grasp, the gasp As fingers twine in shirt. Caelum cavea ardens est But she doesn't mention them Nor the swirling thoughts of her duress You've pulled yourself into this mess The branches, their cold subtlety Covered in frost Their cold subtlety Their frigid adultery

The Ashes
Waxlimbs
Beyond the borders this year Straying to the edges We found the homes of giants We cleared out the trees We cast them down in envy Scorched into the deeps 'till all the earth was burning Daylight turning silver Changes in the heavens The stars would flare in anger The sea came rushing in The earth was torn asunder Mountains pouring flame The deeps would even shudder Everything's forgotten A pool of time laid empty The light of stories burning The whites of blinded eyes The spell of cedar dying A thousand ugly cries and all sound seemed to end The sea came rushing in The earth was torn asunder Mountains pouring flames The ashes of our Mother

Broken Wing
Waxlimbs
She whispers with the hiss of hot white electricity Smoke weighs her down The patterns on her skin are saying everything You talk like downed overhead wires I need you to show me your powers You fly like a bird with a broken wing A canary learning how to sing She whispers with the hiss of static under a blanket (in a lightning storm) Never says a lot And her tongue just hangs there Dead but she don't care You talk like downed overhead wires I need you to show me your powers You fly like a bird with a broken wing A canary learning how to sing

A Way Out
Waxlimbs
At the lowest I found a way out At the bottom I found a way through Oh, I wanna help you Oh, I'll keep it moving. You were wrong, it goes deeper You could always have more You are capable of more than you imagined What are you waiting for? My heart is overloading I've never felt this open Legally binding, and this is important: Pay close attention to your needs Effective immediately once you sign; You renounce the right to leave My heart is overloading I've never felt this open My heart is overloading This is the life I've chosen
