You Brute
03:06
|
|||
Honey’s dripping from an angel’s backside
I lap it up as it starts to pool
Four frozen voices warn of Winter’s whiteout
Four frozen carolers sing their dues
You brute
Slice a little heaven for this one too
You bought this ambrosia so smile and chew Lalalalalala
What does that choir coo?
Re-mi-do
Lying facedown in the blanket snow
Ooo
Mmm
Aaa
With my fingers, I can make out letters
This is what you wanted what you chose to be
You grab my cheeks and force me towards the sunrise
That violent Sun you say is all for me
You brute
Slice a little heaven for this one too
You bought his ambrosia so smile and chew
Lalalalalala

Feels
03:41
|
|||
Should I break through the glass
Would she eat me alive
Maybe I'd never last
But would my shell survive
Moving pictures dancing on the wall
Hieroglyphs make much more sense now
Nights grow cold and oh you've grown as well
Look up to bursting rain clouds now
Feel it with me now
No one told me the truth
That why she came along
Please just don't make me choose
You don't know what you've done

Your Moon
04:35
|
|||
And we meet at dusk
And for miles our shadows loom
Yearning for the night
As the Sun I light your Moon
(And with babies breath
I sought recourse
Taking cues from the one
I've taken from you)
I supposed I should have waited
But they say you just live once
Why not let love
With the mirrors hung
I caught your tongue each time
They say it takes two
Disregard that you weren't mine
Was I ever really needed
It is possible to glow
Without our love
Your Moon
And when you're with him
As the bulb I dim your room

Pink & Gold
03:01
|
|||
The smell of each day
Reminds me of a time
Reminds me of a place
How many words did we say
Perhaps a million
Storms of pink and gold
I seldom escape
The star in every dream
And fog-lined shivering
How many years will it take
Perhaps a million

Mécanique
04:21
|
|||
These sleepless nights blur into one
Amber street lights dare me to run
Away from home away from here
To seek you out find only fear
And like the Moon reflects the Sun
My gate to you zeros and ones
Silence and murmurs silence begins
Find a way out or let me in
Blinking lights and whirring sound
Endless space yet tightly wound
Bleeding hearts and chemistry
Vanish in the circuitry
I wish I wanted what's best for you
A machine to me and my love is use
A different place Another life
A perfect man
A perfect wife
These sleepless nights blur into one
A thousand lights
A Violent Sun

Dodecahedron
03:37
|
|||
My dear my dear you call
Quiver you fear the fall
As two could we obtain
Discover something sane
You colored copper
Cut geometric
And played with each word
Memorized logic
Incessant chatter
Infinite matter
A place to live in
Dodecahedron
My dear oh dear we've learned
One year two years we churned
Westward could we escape
Finally something sane
And you could find me
And I would be there
Beside the calm sea
The wind in your hair
I never saw it
I only dreamt it
Dodecahedron
A place to live in
Tangled feet cool concrete
Drunken laughs magic grasp
Picked you up ran and hid
None can hide the things we did
Watched him sing up on that hill
Twigs in hair time to kill
Our walk home hand in hand
Lips met lips future damned
Fuzzy dreams when we woke
Distance increased hardly spoke
Flew back East Cosmic change
Separate something sane

White Tower
01:24
|
|||
For every breath a shadow cast upon their home
Bowing to white towers stirring up the gloam
When the sunlight falls your tower will bathe in the morning dew
Armed with time a few more hours is all I would ask of you
These hands stained with the rust of fixing up your wreck
Given half a chance they’d wring your fucking neck
Sweat beads that trace my age will someday gleam like the morning dew No home no grave no tall white tower’d fit all I would take from you

Bone Flute
03:38
|
|||
One year review
I bent backwards to please you
And with regret
Cords snagged on hooks and a fishnet
And with heartache
Sunk like a stone in a deep lake
One year since then
How could I look at your face when
Once again you are the enemy’s friend
Like a black leech heartworm bad sperm
Ascending to the womb
Once again I guess it isn't happening
What rose with a trumpet’s fanfare
Sinking as a flute
One boar one game
Worth even more than your surname
One cold silt floor
You reached and took what was not yours
One bone they’ll find
With any luck in your lifetime
One year since then
How could I look at your face when

Tremble & Pulse
04:05
|
|||
I will watch in wonder
Oh the sobbing of a girl
Her shoulders tremble and pulse
Storm clouds eye your shelter
Oh stabbing at the Earth
The world around you trembles
Tremble
Tremble and pulse
I'd offer you guidance
I’d guide you far away from me
My love
Summer's breadth and I'm headed out
As for now I am your darkest cloud
Open up your blinds sometime
Oh ladybugs in flight
Settle on your window to die
Moor upon his shoulder
Oh his instead of mine
Shuttle you through limbo
Limbo
Tremble and pulse
I'd offer you closure
And I'd throw away the key my love
My love
Summer’s breadth and I'm headed out
As for now I am your darkest cloud
Violent storm and thunder
Fall on lily white lovers
I'd offer them cover
As a termite in the beams my love
My love
See the adulteress who slept with doubt
You wanted it perfect or you wanted out
Sob your story and take a bow
As for now I am your darkest cloud

Absolutely
03:33
|
|||
I would have given you anything
Absolutely absolutely
You told me to slow it down
But I would never listen no
Coloring our skin
Wet grass kiss in the wind
Flowers to never die
Me laughing towards the sky
Stars signs and dreaming tales
You know me all too well
Dancing, cold tire swing
You and I absolutely

Orcas
05:34
|
|||
Last night I dreamed of billowing steam
As I snuffed out a match on the sea
What beautiful form does it make
When molecules rise and separate
Young man
False start
When the orcas swim, the orcas swim
And one gets lost all the others call
Call call
Oh my son you weren't gone very long
Oh my god what is wrong
What is wrong
Last night you dreamed and you shared it with me
As a monster I leapt from the sea
Through currents and torrents between
My home and my wild fantasy
Last night I dreamed of billowing steam
As I snuffed out a match on the sea
What beautiful form does it make
When two lives shake hands and separate
