Rebuild 03:21
Man I hate to see you crying (This ground, this ground) But you’re healing and it’s needed to be free (Is rich for growth) C’mon and quit your lying (See you, see now) Because it’s eating at your actuality (Youth centuries old) Ooh Hooo We’re peaking out the dark days (Matter, matter) A better summer sitting right outside the door (It changes shape) Smile in your own way (See you as new) Turn your corners make it better than before (To recreate) Ooh Hooo

Isly 03:08
Ooh Hoo Isly, you’re on your way Love’s here to meet you, to greet this new day It’s a wild spin you’ve found us in We seek your lesson on how to new begin The sun is soon to rise on your life Say Hello to the world Keep it up now Leave it all with the land Ooh Hoo Isly, so much at stake Your voice will hit the air, well, what will it say? It’s a winding path, a heavy wind But you are the author, yeah, you hold that pen

Windowin' 02:30
Windowin’, sailin’, shore leaf, how how? Changin’ changin’, happenin’ happenin’ Sidewalk sailing speedboat pot of gold Changin’ changin’, happenin’ happenin’ Straightenin’ the long and drawn out, shady lane babycakes Seems like a real nice guy, seems like a real complex case Like I Sayin’ in to doin’ in the long and drawn out Changin’ changin’, happenin’ happenin’ Windowin, sailin’, shore leaf how how? Changin’ changin’, happenin’ happenin’ Sidewalk, sailin’ speedboat, pot of gold Changin’ changin’, happenin’ happenin’

Anywhere 03:41
High beams break the dark like a song that you haven't heard in years Turning on Leonard in a minute Reaching out into the void just to hear your voice I said I'd be there in a minute To see you And melt away Let go Don't hold onto something that will never serve you well I'll see you on your respite I know it can take a while to crawl out of anyone's hell I didn't know it till I saw it I saw you And you saw me too I don't want to go anywhere, anywhere else than here I don't want to go anywhere anywhere else I don't want to go (I'm alive right here) I don't want to go anywhere anywhere else I don't want to go (Eyed a light out here)

Hello out there to everyone who may or may not exist Either way, how yall doin’? Eeugh, not perfect, eh? I knew that, me neither Are there pluses? I hope so I got some You're one of them The Natural World is another In an infinite number of ways

Slowburn 03:21
I go on livin’ in the world Go on givin’ to my girl I’ll get into a slowburn here Blasting out all I can While I can Understanding what we’re up against What we have to stand under I go on livin’ in the world Go on given’ to my girl I go on breathing while I can In the thick of the fall of man In the dawn of this new era Blasting out all I can While I can All to often forgetting that love is the answer We’re got to love eachother I go on breathing while I can In the thick of the fall of man (I’ll get into a slowburn here)
8.
Dusk 03:47
Dusk in your eyes Into your ocean Falling and feeling without a word Slowing of time Weathered by weather Waves to the surface but in reverse In reverse Here on a heavy-air coast Learning to try No sign of heavy heart ghosts Yearning to try Dusk in your eyes Out of your motion Waiting in wonder, nowhere to be Flickering light Wind through the window Moment unfolding as we meet Dusk in your eyes, dusk in your eyes (yeah) Here on a heavy-air coast Learning to try No sign of heavy-heart ghosts Yearning to try
9.
Ancients 03:55
I heard the Ancients singing through a long and ash-borne veil The light was not white at all, it was many tones Now wildly awake, in wonder as the flaming in the hearth did wail And spirits painted a rush through our breath and bones We left to gaze the moonlight when we noticed the sky looked strange A not-otherowrldly cold rose up from the ground Then shaking bending mammals danced it out in their own wild ways And dawned into differing speeds to make their return A magic in that cinder, yes, as clear as a bell we’d seen Then burrowed into rest for the work ahead To build the frame of healing lift the sledge and strike the nail To carve away the brush and not have a line
10.
The Unknown 01:08
Can I do this? Write this? Think this? Can I do it well, or do it ill? “It” would be expressing something An idea, emotion, additide or just even bithcing or giving thanks Communing through language Sharing Can I share? Sure, I could share I’m scared The years are flying by like crazy And I don’t want them to end Then I’d be all alone Without my elusive reference point What I call me Maybe that would be for the best Even if there are no other options I guess I’m scared of The Unknown Too bad It’s everywhere
11.
Conversation 04:35
Am I alive enough to be Am I alive enough to be Morally taught and righteously free Am I alive enough to be Breaking our cycles Forcing a conversation about our situation It’s done, it’s done It’s starting to break apart Patterns Shapes and patterns We know we have to make a change We know we have to make a change When our short-sighted hearts become long-range We cannot let them disengage Breaking our cycles Forcing a conversation about our situation It’s done, It’s done It’s starting the break apart Patterns Shapes and patterns

Sapiens 03:54

Seth Beranrd
Michael Dause

Recorded from their homes during the pandemic, Moss Manor came into existence out of the need to process the events of the past few years.
