‘Bird/Eye/View’ I get the feeling I’m fading In discordant tombs of my own head In opaque teardrops of saline My new profession to rob and eat the dead As erratic as do moths fly Toward the heavens to sow and seed the stars Recant the channels of our deep sleep An intervention to push and pull us out We’ll pass another blurry road sign I’m drifting off as we cross the centre line Clock the pattern of a bird’s eye Clock the pattern of a bird’s eye view Clock the pattern of a bird’s eye Clock the pattern of a bird’s eye view I get the feeling I’m soaring Rooftops, umber, underlying dread Out the ground and into yearning All my thoughts now combine to fuse a chant We’ll hear another vicious tone chime The arms aligned at the exact interval of time Clock the pattern of a bird’s eye Clock the pattern of a bird’s eye view Clock the pattern of a bird’s eye Clock the pattern of a bird’s eye view

‘Paradisciousis’ Breathe as the animal Through the teeth of the animal Stark revelations shape in new equations Feel as the animal The taste of the animal Devour our regrets in reciprocation Cry as the animal The tongues of the animal Foul communiqué in proclamation Sour fucking animal The avenging potent animal Foreshadowing flames in animation When the When the bugs crawl over you When they eat you right back to earth Did you feel the warmth of Spring Come naked across your face? Did you know you’re never gonna be replaced? Did you kiss with all your love? Did you say what you meant to say? Cause it’s never going to feel this good The poise of the animal The symmetrical animal Shadows lay their claim on vegetation The towers of the animal The beliefs of the animal Rise up through the veins of imagination The Gods of the animal Trapped writhing animal Violently shamed in divination Love of the animal The touch of the animal Our contradictions pace our creations When the When the bugs crawl over you When they eat you right back to earth Did you feel the warmth of Spring Come naked across your face? Did you know you’re never gonna be replaced? Did you kiss with all your love? Did you say what you meant to say? Cause it’s never going to feel this good

Boy 05:07
‘Boy’ Hey boy With the ex-ex in your vines Don’t we all sleep so long to dream Flashbacks of the animal cage Flickers of the candle flame Hey boy Escape Hey boy Don’t we all dream of an accolade? Donning masks, suture the curious skin As the light reflects off of the sea Refracting off the lens in your eye Hey boy No pain And it’s Deeper than his hands could go Deeper than his hands could Deeper than the sands of time Sleeper in the alleyway Deeper than you’ll ever know Deeper than you’ll ever show Doesn’t drain the hurt from you Tougher than any boy I know Hey boy There you stand in the dirty downward sign Blows a kiss to wrap it around the night Shoulders out hard like this Rigid fists crack out like that Hey boy No shame Hey boy Light a cigarette in the wind Sucking flames to hold the warmth within Your hidden love with soar and breathe Becoming all you’ll ever need Hey boy Remain And it’s Deeper than his hands could go Deeper than his hands could Deeper than the sands of time Sleeper in the alleyway Deeper than you’ll ever know Deeper than you’ll ever show Doesn’t drain the hurt from you Tougher than any boy I know

‘Continuity Error’ I’m dying in the space between the stars In the redundant swirl of galaxies In the void where we come apart Stretching out for infinity But I still own a piece of your heart I still own a piece of you I still own a piece of your heart I still own a piece of Sightless in the mess, collected taint The building blocks of our mystery Dividing like a blooming flower I am the honey to your swarm of bees But I still own a piece of your heart I still own a piece of you I still own a piece of your heart I still own a piece of Captured in the webs of memory To the chambers underneath our streets Safely hidden from the swollen sun To expose our true mode of means But I still own a piece of your heart I still own a piece of you I still own a piece of your heart I still own a piece of Silent in the place where I remember you Like a film set upon a pond Like a flesh that surrounds a pit Hidden are depths of your art But I still own a piece of your heart I still own a piece of you I still own a piece of your heart I still own a piece of I’m dying in the space between the scars On the moments that are blistering Lost my lines and I’ll lose the plot In the pursuit of a captivity When the desperation starts to fade When the wheel begins to slowly spin When the light reveals to illustrate Where a whisper now becomes a din I still own a piece of your heart I still own a piece of you
5.
Afterlife 04:04
‘Afterlife’ Don’t say We won’t Meet again And I’ll live In suspensions Of disbelief To the Surface As I go on and on and on again On and on again Into after-light Afterlife Don’t blink It’s gone Leaves behind Traces Of bad nights Into this skin Forces Balance Residuals of old pollutions Chemically as one Never ends To the start again *I’m so umbilical I don’t want to leave So afraid to take that step and see Into what could be the great below When you have to know* Spinning Revolutions Coiling to the core Mourning Teething A symphony of Pre-dawn Silence There they come and go and come again Come and go again Into after-light Afterlife

‘Union Karbide’ Float We’re floating away Severed to pairs Satellites of complete peace Erosions of love Contraptions of life Over-dosed in our silent dream Shot in the head Drowned in our lungs Erase the mistakes And put on Repeat All that we’ve done Over again Collecting The black flies Dissolving in the flames It’s all the same Until I feel your love again It’s all the same Until I feel your love again It’s all the same Until I feel your love again It’s all the same Until I feel your love again Float We’re floating away Like currents of air Silently gliding on jet streams In capsules of blood In the frictions of sound Dose up on drugs and try to breathe Shadows we make Woven and wound And lay to rest All your dreams All that has been Over again Collecting Behind the eyes Dissolving in the flames

‘Atlantic Pacifics’ You meant everything to me All my winds will mute and cease Only now here are we treading water I am ocean and you’re the sea Like a breeze move through the trees A hypnotic twist of a closing sleep Hibernation beneath a thousand flowers I’ll become your abductee Lay the lions of the wildebeest Stalk the boundaries of the wolf and sheep Inverted forests of the oceans under We are all of the collective dream Seasonal thaws melt Gravity pulls down and trickle out into drives Capillaries form Flicker rain clouds, united shocks of molten light And glacial kings drown Caverns store sound as memories absorb the night Psychopomps guide Down the dark slide into everlasting secret depths Of the sea You meant everything to me Blind as life in noisy streets My dead heart has become the mighty chasm When you become your own disease You meant everything to me You meant everything to me Seasonal thaws melt Gravity pulls down and trickle out into drives Capillaries form Flicker rain clouds, united shocks of molten light And glacial kings drown Caverns store sound as memories absorb the night Psychopomps guide Down the dark slide into everlasting secret depths Of the sea

‘Faces in the Dark’ So you want to hear the symphony Do you want to feel the teeth? In translations, saturated rhymes All the powders, all the bleak Needs for logic to define A permutation of this scene You’re out there hiding within yourself Try being in here with me A puff of dust Creates shadow silhouettes They march along the screen Enough’s enough Everything and everyone You’re all in for a treat While the Real life Will deviate From the storyline While the Real life Will violate Your lovely mind What you have isn’t what you want What you want you wouldn’t keep Nothing risked is nothing lost In misology A puff of dust Creates shadow silhouettes They march along the screen Enough’s enough Everything and everyone In manufactured dreams (Silent) Real life Deviates Story lines Real life Deviates Story lines While the Real life Will deviate From the storyline While the Real life Will violate Your lovely mind

Daylight TV 05:26
‘Daylight TV’ Porn creep Like a stain on the lens I’m gonna drain you just like a fluid And sew you up to proportion Asymmetry A perfection perfect A simulation of your touch and totem Nothing left to say or pretend She’s the screen bee She’s the queen of the dammed My proletariat love illusion A lottery for the scammed Drink me I’m your victory sin Operations of the soul-less, shallow Kissing never on the lips Seemingly To suspend in the air Mauled and beaten in the streets below us Weather patterns shifting the sands Porn creep Supporting actress Draw me further from the pale disorder Escape into the trees again We shall meet in the place where there is no darkness
10.
The Purge 04:11
‘The Purge’ Once again you light the torch Poise the motions through the high Drag the torture past the horse Like the comets in the sky The world is ugly as the whore Morosely mirrored in your mind Arrange the patterns Décor the court Haunt the windows Pull the blinds Reprieved, remain, revive Reprieved, remain, revive The hairs are weather The skin is claimed Cut the ribbons in her name Another noticed is another lost In the river Around the block Pass the movies Among the cars Another singer sings your song The winds are buried Behind the wall Raised, erected Watch it fall Reprieved, remain, revive Reprieved, remain, revive Scare yourself straight You purge the violence To fill the silence Waiting to find yourself alone again Wrists are tethered to the vines The wheels of consequential kinds Erase the moments you leave inside Cut the mother Cut the eyes Torches flicker Threaten the dark Sordid cities Pierce the tar Smoke and cherry coloured hearts Waste in buckets Counting hours Reprieved, remain, revive Reprieved, remain, revive

Donna is a muse Her mind is made up Of collected bits Twisted iron, I once eclipsed As I am but a thief For I knew the story Long before we spoke And cheated ourselves Grew up in the Spring Of bought and sold emotions Between our teeth We destroyed the hours But we were so alive And there our love was destined To collapse and fall Under the weight of ourselves So you say goodnight Goodnight Sweet Donna Remove the spell The spell off the night Prima Donna blues And my eyes have lifted Nothing left in blurs Through my sight Funny how the way The ones you’ve once hunted Become the trees On the path you’ve lost Now I’m swinging with my pills At the end of that rope Charcoal dust collects Can you hear me sigh? Saw us through those fires And your cooling liquid Suffers in your throat To forget the past So you say goodnight Goodnight Sweet Donna Remove the spell The spell off the night Lonely are the winds Crystal dust of Winter Often I would be The robot man Standing on the edge Of our new silence Angel white winds I can hear nothing else The psyche of my sleaze Drags behind my body Looking like the dreams Of someone else Whenever we will meet There it stirs a torture Drew me among the streets As the thief is now robbed So you say goodnight Goodnight Sweet Donna Remove the spell The spell off the night

Aerialisms 04:10
13.
‘Last Serpents’ Alight In perfumes In angelic worship tones Pale public pyre The blackened pitch A human animal is burned Our little child wants to be Alive Diffused In the three dimensional The soughing trees will sway Through the wind Like the murmurs through the crowd Our little fire wants to be Like sad sermons always soothe the pain away Like holding hands in a wooden church we’ll sing Those sad sermons always drain the colouring Hold the note for long as you will breathe To be free, to be free, to be free Alike The womb A temporary place to hide Angered under Metropolis The pulse along the spine Our little child wants to see The life The fruit Your extensions to the light The tapered twilight Of the gathering night A million different rhymes Our little fire wants to eat Like sad sermons always soothe the pain away Like holding hands in a wooden church we’ll sing Those sad sermons always drain the colouring Hold the note for long as you will breathe To be free, to be free, to be free
