I would rather hang myself over you
Than see torn apart my simple overview
Darkness feels alright...
Everlasting light?
Spare me your platitudes
You know the one I'll choose
Scrutiny it blinds
Makes all your thoughts rewind
Doubt chases after you
Teeth in your rear view
I'll keep you tame my dear
Make shadows disappear
Demons invisible forever stalking you
Calcium drains away
And the calcium drains away
And the calcium drains away
Calcium drains away
High above the town
I can't help but feel proud
Uncertainty a ghost
But I'm not one to boast

Symmetrics

Escape at dawn, tiptoe through the concrete glow
This hive, forlorn, where we failed to invert the shadows
Make canvas home in pools of a sun-dripped glade
And we'll be counting down the days
Where the zeroes divide
Something in the sighing of the leaves
Messages that beat bin-aurally
Slaying all your senses the same
Just the same as it ever was
There's something of the noise I need around my head
Massaging with sonic fingers
The firing of the laser beams
The burnt synaptic make-believe
Sudden sound you own me
Southern sound you own me
Share this weight with me
Find our equation's symmetry
There's power in the sum
At the root of this conundrum
Come with me and slide
Where the sirens multiply
Wrap wire frame around
Dissolve into the sound
Something in the sighing of the leaves
Messages that beat bin-aurally
Slaying all your senses the same
Just the same as it ever was
There's something of the noise I need around my head
Massaging with sonic fingers
The firing of the laser beams
The burnt synaptic make-believe
Sudden sound you own me
Southern sound you own me

Through the Palms

Why, you're wasting away...
Why, you're eyeing the grave...
The very bones of intention!
While you're playing the saint
Watching flowers decay
The very bones of intention
Unearthed....
The very bones of intention
Unearthed...
In paint and tape we show we're drawn and out of breath
All abstracted...
We're flickering...
Magnetic north just keeps on switching
The very bones of intention
The very bones of intention
Through the palms through the palms
Through the palms through the palms
Through the palms

St Elmo
07:41
|
|||
Ancient mariner
Scan the horizon
Search forever
Guided by plasma
Angel or sorceress
Wrapped in a white dress
Beware St Elmo and what lurks below
But I, I got caught in your gravity
With a chemical urgency
For that moment all shallow was deep
Did you feel the jaws snap?
Diamond teeth in your back
Heard a little bird song
Threw yourself headlong
And now the glint in the storms eye
Against the blackening sky...
St Elmo
Won't save you from what lurks below
But I, I got caught in your gravity
With a chemical urgency
For that moment all shallow was deep
Now the sea has shown her teeth
I got caught in your gravity
With a chemical urgency
For that moment all shallow was deep

White Noise We Parse
05:08
|
|||
Cloudbursts and frostbite
Heartache parasite
Background fear longing background fear longing
Research and waking, sparks emanating
I've been falling down these streets with the city lights burning my back
Silent fretful thought, empty lungs, asleep, but you're bringing me back
Static and earth hum
Charged cerebellum
Soporific drone and the latent undertow
The white noise we parse with our garden path hearts
Ridley market meat severed tendons ice and fish heads on the floor
their magic stark, drunk, chaotic as our rotors turn and turn
and nothing hurts pirouetting high gone hypnagogic
Sucking in a shower up through daffodils and snowdrops in her hair all white, a child, gather up your hope the bears are safe from harm
We're barely safe from harm
