House 04:47
House I live on the banks of a river But I ain’t going in there no more The waters run red with the blood of the dead And the dreams wash up on the shore I live on the edge of a wood But I ain’t going in there no more The wolf’s got my name on the tip of his tongue And wine sweeter than ever before Ever before x 2 And the wind blows through the cracking walls Elements wear down my resolve If I leave will I come back at all Ohhhhh I live in a house of transgression Two windows dirt soul for a floor The walls bend and breathe with the life inside me And a ghost always knocks on the door Ohhhhh x 4 If I leave will I come back at all x 15

Six 03:39
Six Still shaping the darkness Blend the absence of sound With your brush paint your colors all around Some time to quiet Some quiet too loud Be the sunshine Be the blue skies Be the clouds CHORUS Light shifts into shadow Through the cities and towns As we fade in and out White noise in the distance Is the din of a crowd? As we breathe in and out Hear answers in echoes Worldless lullabies Dreaming triptychs In silent side by sides Show visions on ribbon End to end and repeat Be the willow Be the branches Be the leaves CHORUS
3.
Edges 05:14
Edges They never forgave the man who fed the fires burning through the forest All but abandoned, take what you can carry in this quiet call to arms But what are the options when the flames are moving faster, coming toward us And truth is no object, though it comes and goes, it’s passed from hand to hand CHORUS I know my edges are uneven The pictures I’ve kept are gray and grainy I know that the carpet is worn from pacing I gather the instruments and work my way through all the weights and measures But metal and glass cannot contain the heat that radiates the past What reaches its boiling point, evaporates, and finds its way to heaven Comes down with a vengeance, tearing all the life from its path CHORUS I know my edges are uneven The pictures I’ve kept are gray and grainy I know that the carpet is worn from pacing The pictures I’ve kept are gray and grainy I know my edges are uneven The pictures I’ve kept are gray and grainy I know that the carpet is worn from pacing The pictures I’ve kept are gray and grainy I know my edges are uneven

Stone 03:15
Sinking Stone Life takes its toll Time takes us all Weathering wood Battling scars Wind causing wear Strangling vines Blood-letting life Veins running dry CHORUS Say you’re a sinking stone You’re not alone I’m drawn in too Coursing through days Razor thin wire Face turned to gray Swim into fire CHORUS Say you’re a sinking stone You’re not alone I’m drawn in too Say you’re a sinking stone You’re not alone I’m drawn in too I’m drawn in too

about

TMULE's 4-song EP, "Worldless Lullabies" is a collection of songs that were recorded in 2016 with Justin Roth as producer. Mark Lavengood from Lindsay Lou & the Flatbelly's plays resophonic slide guitars, Ben Zito from The Crane Wives plays acoustic and electric bass, Dan Rickabus from The Crane Wives plays drums on the song "House."

"Worldless Lullabies" shines a light in TMULE's darkness. It focuses on a past rife with fear, personal failures, doubt, onerous relationships, and complex familial struggles with addiction. But the song "Six" is a an homage to TMULE's beloved wife for their sixth anniversary, the perfect complement to the disillusion and darkness revealed in the rest of the EP.
