Custodian

Don’t let circumstances prevail again.
You can’t bring your loaded guns to a fair game.
Won’t trade a dark city life.
One day, rewind the world.
No...maybe you’ll go short, go yield.
Closed? Why did it end?
No time to click ‘send’ or ‘save’.
I’ve died on the words of the wind.
Don’t let circumstances prevail again
The custodian knocks another pound off here and there.
I’ve sheltered in so many places now. Put a shield around some frightened child, dropping secrets from the wells of their eyes. Built a pyramid from nothing, just scraps of nothing. Held it close and whispered into its dark crevasse. And the pyramid becomes the child and the child becomes a guide and points the way through history and eternity and a golden, shimmering light passes through the pyramid’s form again, casting endless changing shadows that know nothing of their design.
Guarded like your memory
Keeps you feeling weak, inside.
Don’t dare you cry
It wasn’t all intentional.
Cool light around
Custodian’s the rising sun.
Oh, let it out.
A mirror on a dinosaur.

The Underneath

Unfurl the maze that I’ve seen.
And tread more lightly.
It can’t go on.
It’s not original.
And underneath it
You look like nothing.
Or was it something
Dreams can do.
Camera eyes.
Oh, so many lie here
And hold the sunshine off.
These days, you can’t seize up
The ways you might erupt.
Unfurl the way that I see
And tread more lightly.
It can’t go on.
It’s not original.
And underneath this,
I cling to one thing
And it’s the same thing
That guides my hand.
This underneath that
puts small adventures
Into rich contexts,
Like dreams can do.
This camera eye.

inFictions recommends:
Ed's other main songwriting project is a 6 (ish)-piece acoustic collective. You can definitely hear the same songwriter behind inFictions but the music is, overall, lighter in tone and closer to folk.

Great sound quality, drums and keyboards in particular are very prominent here. Best version of Moonloop I've ever heard, hands down.

I absolutely LOVE Dark Matter and think it is one of PT's best early tracks that holds up to even their best work in the early 2000s, and this particular live performance is sublime!
