Music and lyrics by J Stephen Roberts

Aria, walk yourself back home
The things we’ve lost can never be found
Like love
Like the summer
Here I am in my field of winter

We’re born with the hearts of doves
Before we’re swallowed by the sea
And then the water turns into blood
Poor pathetic little we
Only to drink cool water
But it’s all green poison

Look at you with your white skin
Walk with me through the tall grass
You need to see
I need to tell you
Among these ruins the truth lies hidden

Our days are gone we’ve grown so old
All that’s left is the evening sky
The things we loved have grown so cold
Who came up with this heady lie?
Only to drink cool water
But it’s all green poison

Our days are empty and idle
You look at me like I should understand
Like a dove
Like a falcon
Your eyes are unlike any other

All I want is to lay in the grass
With the sun glowing from the sky
The days have gone it all is past
Fading shades of what was life
Only to drink cool water
But it’s all green poison
