The Shore

Corrosion from this weight
But I crave it all the same
And the sirens they still scream
Behind my eye
Reveals the gale
Reveals the wave
Reveals the boat but
No shore
And a call to arms to arm me
I recall the day you sailed away
Not a cloud insight surrounds me
I recall the way you smiled smiled at me
Erosion from the wave
And I feel it in my veins
And the blood inside...records...
Reveals the gale
Reveals the wave
Reveals the boat but
No shore

Perfect Will
04:13
|

|
To old to sit upon her wing
And exalt to see the mind restored
To amaze us all
She traced her hand along the wall
That old stone wall, eyes closed
She´s almost home
And all I see is darkening clouds
and Rome in ruins
All she feels is the warm sun upon her skin
The light seeps in
She moves
I´m still,
in awe
Her perfect will

Little Black Spiders
03:45
|

|
Little black spiders singing in my brain
Selling me a truth a night that's never been
Little white lies that I whisper to myself
As I crawl under the blade warm pillow heavy head
Little black spiders eating little white lies
Little white lies, little white lies
Little by little deconstruct these lies
Little by little reconstruct this life
Little black spiders crawling on her skin
Her bed already made closed her eyes let them in
Little white lies that she sells to herself
No harm done, take a bow, break a leg
Little black spiders eating little white lies
Little white lies, little white lies
Little by little deconstruct these lies
Little by little reconstruct this life

Foundations

The city where I go I´m understanding less
Their speed conveys conviction
It´s just a nervous twitch
Caffeine fueled, still feeling tired wheezing traffic´s city choir
In empty rooms thin shadows dance
You paid their rent on credit cards
And it´s not too late to change your wave
Not too late to shed it all
Dig down deep into that hole
There you'll see those weak foundation stones
The phone now rings, your local branch requests a chat
The stress kicks-in a heart attack, you´re feeling weak
Those shadows laugh look look convenience a chemist shop
The city feeds it´s chemicals in public troughs
And it´s not too late to change your wave
Not too late to shed it all
Whisper to those hollow stones
They crumble, then the river flows
It´s not too late to change
Not too late to change
Not too late to change at all

Sullen Sea
03:20
|

|
Chaos without warning
Seeps into my brain
And seeds doubt
I´m a ghost on this sea
I´m a slave to its song
Then a voice spoke gently, “you've arrived”
Wakes me in the morning
Seeps into my brain
And seeds doubt
How to row on the sullen sea
When these waves come crashing down
Then a voice spoke gently, “you've arrived”
On the shore of the sullen sea, washed up bones from these old machines
Catalogued then carefully put away for futurists
Came across a broken blade, a rather blunt story and sad
Threw it back into the waves, settled down to watch the sunset

Big Brave You
02:51
|
|||
|
I will go down through the oceans breath
I will go down with glee
I will go down that ancient bed
And be swallowed in symmetry
Big brave you, big brave you
Falling in love with the love of want
Falling in love with the love of one
Big eyes you, big eyes you
Reflecting things you don't need
Reflections sing it´s your own greed
Big hands you, big hands you
Cradling a seed those hollow words
Cradling disease this hollow world
Big soul you, big soul you
Standing on the edge
Big brave you, big brave you
A big “fuck you”, to big brave you
You and your standing on the edge

The Same River Twice
03:15

A Mass extinction the sixth to circle
Deep our footprints, us wildest animals
A Mass of people praying in temples
Arms outreached no sense no wisdom
All Masticating they sit in circles
The wall´s are crumbling some counting the rubble
Amassed a wealth they pray to numbers
Eyes wide shut no sense no wisdom
UUUUUUUUUHHHHH...the taste.
UUUUUUUUUUUHHHH...The bitter taste
Conditioned reflex they commit no sin
They collar us daily our brand name saviors
Colour blindness, all they need is the grey
And their black hearts use us
All class distentions disintegrating
Debts insure the poor´s position
The smiles they wear in-slaving nations
The noose they tie with calm precision
All masturbating to the F.T. index
2 more points and they'll cum till Christmas
Amassed a wealth and they pray to numbers
Assholes all, no sense, no wisdom
UUUUUUUUUUUUHHHH...this taste
UUUUUUUUUUUUHHHH...the bitter taste
UUUUUUUUUUUUUUUHHHHH...this taste
UUUUUUUUUUUUUUHHHH...What a fucken waste!

Lilly Violet

Undecided Lilly Violet
Mesmerized by the traffic lights
Takes another pill and
Still waits for a green light
Her mind begins to cave-in
A heart resigns in protest
Her eyes begin dilating
A universe collapsing into
The mine field, the bombs drop through black clouds
Into the minefield, all light waves goodbye
In some asylum Lilly violet
Blinks here eyes at the flashing light
For years a non-responsive
Now smiles for the first time
Responding to those warm eyes
Those small hands could save her
Into the outside a whit flag she´s waving
Into the outside a white flag she´s waving
She´s testing the water
Her hand slowly enters
She looks at her daughter
A smile...she´s worth saving

The Void
02:42
|

One day I´ll grow a smile just to please you all
Till then I´ll just count these cracks between the seams
Once bitten I recall that fever in the blood
No cure it´s your desire I wallow in this void
Hanging on by my fingernails
Hanging on to a single thread
Hanging on to the weakest branch
In storms and hurricanes
Out on the ledge
Out on the ledge
One day I´ll grow a smile just to see its form
Distance a shame these cracks between us all
Once smitten I recall that fever in the blood
No cure it´s your desire to lead me to this void
Out on the ledge
We sing our regrets
We sing our regrets

Vampire Kings
04:22
|

|
I tasted the cure
But those envious shadows eyes stole my light
Their Obsessions with the ills of the mind
Resigned me to a space amongst their fears
Their might sold as right
Sold as right, sold as right
Invited in, the vampire kings
Invited in, the hollow men
And this is how it ends
This is how it ends
A whimper not a bang
A whimper not a bang
