Nothing Personal
05:58
|
|||
Don't wait, run
Or it's gonna blow in your face
The truth
The hidden shattered splinters of glass
Will damage your voice
The denial, the touching
Dark violet screams
You've chosen the sick over the healed
Naive child
It's nothing personal
It always is
About a person
Or many of them
Replace body parts
As they come and leave
The room
Wait
What did you do
Which part of yourself did you drown this time
Under thin ice
Buried deep in the ground
What did you do
What did you
This is a hunt for the wild at heart
Left out in the open
This is a hunt for the wild at heart
Days of hunger
Forever we burn
On and on and on and on and on
Forever to walk alone
Apart

Dangerous Liaisons
07:49
|

Emotional terror is a weapon
Your tool of survival
Guilt your companion
Passive-agressive manner
I remember how you tried to break her
With your ball and chain
Victimhood and blame
It's what you learned in life
Nothing ever
Nothing ever
Nothing ever
Rag and bone man
Hoarding clutter
Money counter
Hoarding clutter
Money your master
Invest in junk
Instead of in people
Surrounded by ilk alike
In drowning complaint
Left outside the circle
Talking paranoia
Jealous of the other
Stab stab stab
Stab stab stab
Can't count the hits
Screaming about love
Screaming about blood
Like it bought you respect
And a son
You want control
You want possession
You want my heart in place of holes
You want my submission
You want your recognition
But what you are is vain and alone
I want you to get down on your knees
I want you to get down on your knees
I want you to get down on your knees
I want you to get down on your knees
I want you to get down on your knees
I want you to get down on your knees
And pray
I want
I want
I want
I want

Silence Between Us
06:40
|
|||
Silence between us
Silence between
When music is not heard
And words are not understood
Silence between us
Silence between
When darkness in others
Is not being seen
Silence between us
Silence between
When we stand close
And not notice each other
Silence between us
Silence between
When the poem is your own
And understanding comes from everyone else

Everybody's Waiting
07:12
|
|||
When the night shows its fangs and claws
Near the forest where the cold wind blows
As the life has turned out wrong
And the feet are sore from the road
She falls
Her flings are drained, short casualties
Cought in the distance between the leash and the grip
So it spins, the wheel of self satisfaction
So it bleeds the urge for self deprivation
Your language is a temple of lust
Your body smells of hope and love
But there's a crack between your eyes, I know
But there's a crack between your eyes, I know
Unreflective animal machines
Getting high on instant emotions
Shallow and broken little queens
Self destruct to fuck with devotion
You want the sin
You like to fall
And the sound of your skull
As it crashes to the ground
Everybody is waving
Everybody is shaking
As you turn your head
Without goodbye
You want the sin
You like to fall
And the sound of your skull
As it crashes to the ground
Everybody is waiting
Everybody is naked
As you tear and rip
All the love apart
You want the sin
You want
I'll run towards the sun

Dream Sister
06:33
|

I wouldn't know where to begin
I wouldn't know if it's right to dream
I wouldn't know how to pretend
I wouldn't know how this will end
But I've got this feeling that I'd like to share with you
My love
It's not a liar that steals the night
It's a dreamer like yours who never learns
When the time of change comes about
The mind is blurred and the heart is numb
Cause all your pieces that were once thrown around
Come back in waves to haunt you down
But I've got this moment to stand by your side
My love
Like the waters underneath the bridge
Our songs they remain the same
Twisting and turning
The feelings are burning now
Consciously waiting
Release me into the sound
Drop down the questions
Embrace your own wounded self
Touch all the answers
It's safe for you to be alive
The pull to let go is
Clouding you softly as you grow
Nothing is safe
The spark you've been looking for is
In your hands

Outside
06:57
|
|||
I've tried to keep myself away
I've tried to keep myself today
To learn and understand the common other way
Paid my debts for a shallow grave
But there is an end
And a chain of command
It serves you right to look away
It serves you more to inflict pain
Show no guilt, feel no shame
For the trust you took, a pride without a face
But there is always an end
And with it comes disgrace
Outside
We run
Outside
We run
When the promise was broken
We were hiding away
Outside
We run
Outside
We run
When the promise was broken
We could not resist escape
The closer we walk
The deeper we fall

Ghosts
07:05
|

Deep blue sea
I can feel you under my skin
Deep blue sea
Did you come clean
To the things you have seen
I heard her calling out my name
Like a ghost cought between the waves
We held our hands
And wept away
The wages of our stolen dream
Together we walk
Through sands
Through lands
As friends
As lovers
As sorrow behind masks
Like animals
Like beasts
We bite
Our flesh
In the frost
In the forest
At the gates of hell
We kiss the sky in black and red
One moment in time
Then fear rushes in
We scatter across the sun until we cease
To walk
To resist
Deep blue sea
I can feel you under my skin
Deep blue sea
Did you come clean
To the things you have seen
You have been

Cliffs
03:06
|

Flowing in the Holden state of mind
Counting ducks and wondering where they go
When the first snow starts to fall
Riding on an infinite carousel
Always coming back to the start
Never reaching the end
When loneliness shades into anger
The truth becomes the lie
And the lie becomes the truth
It would be better if we never understood
Post war Peter Pan out of Manhattan
An alienated saviour of childness
Although he is the one who's falling down
When loneliness shades into anger
The truth becomes the lie
And the lie becomes the truth
It would be better if we never understood
The truth becomes the lie
And the lie becomes the truth
It would be better if we

Stop Making Sense
05:45
|
|||
There's a secret space inbetween
It's made of you and me
No tomorrows, no yesterdays
It lives beyond our needs
What words can't ever explain
Is delivered through other meanings
I will keep its doors open wide
For you to stumble in
Anytime
We wake up every day
And the system has failed
We try to express ourselves
But life gets in the way
We make up our own stories to tell
But there is nothing to understand
When we stop making sense of it all
We can look into each other's hearts
And give love
But darkness comes through colours
The world is set to crumble
No place safe for cover
What is left to wonder
Tell her that you love her
Tell her that you love her
Tell her that you love her
Tell her that you love her
Darkness comes through colors
Words got hard to swallow
Tell her that you love her
Tell her that you love her
Tell her that you love her
Tell her that you love her
Tell her that you love her
Tell her that you wonder

Stationed up here
The distance
Only elevation can gift
It’s a borrowed circumstance
Possession surrenders softly
From afar I observe
Red roof tiles
How they protect and love,
Others
Let’s keep in mind
The uneven distribution of mass
We too frequently overlook
No calculation is safe enough
It’s a matter of coordinates
Precious arranging
We are always just one step away
Nowhere else was the grass greener
Or the sky bluer
Than that hot July day
Cicadas noise made you feel
Out of time
A concept you were just beginning to grasp
Yet the universe conspired with the well
Since the beginning of time
And a hundred unforeseen feet
Spared you the misery
of uncovering
That as you progress life takes bizarre turns
And what you held firmly
Slowly gets misplaced
And while you try to clench it again
You learn you never had it in the first place
The well spared you the misery of experiencing
Such ecstasy and loss,
simultaneously
During an unusually warm September, you didn’t live to taste
I will not be known
From sharp to blunt
It will never subside
& will survive
close to Triton
Stay fogged it will
It has no right to be
In the closer regions
Felonious character
It wants to crack skulls open
Smell blood
Regret it soon after
Time passing
Either slow as molasses
Or fast as light
The dust hasn’t settled yet,
it’s floating in midair
I’m waiting for it to fall down so I can swipe it away
I don’t see two steps ahead
There might be a cliff
So I stand still
It’s a messy business, this passing through Time & never really feeling at the right juncture
Until you do.
Until you are right where you are supposed to be. (of course you always were).
You forgot how to breathe
And could barely walk the half mile
Half mile between your room and the Employment Service
The well spared you this high noon
Where all the secretive words of the last 940 days led
For a while, a passage to a parallel dimension was wide open and the old coordinates made no sense
The late Summer light scattering in the Secret Garden
tiny leaves rustling dreamlike
tiny leaves falling snowlike
no one ever will look as dazzling as you were
On that first day of retrograde
It was a nameless territory
I need to inhabit this foreign land no one can perceive
I say
The only thing that matters is what goes on in the mind
He says
Spoken like a true Pisces moon
The well spared you
having your innermost SCENARIO materialize in front of your eyes
Just to turn into dust
The redcat on the rooftop was giving you a heads up
Pointing you to the backstage
where you would reenact your original neglect
just one more time
to walk into your own trap
just one more time
to be fed cheesecake
just one more time
Fake politeness can’t stop the stormy weather ahead of us
you are determined to retrace every step that hasn’t thrown you into the well
hasn’t killed you softly
only to push you into the basement
where it will reveal
what it sees convenient
as it sees convenient
lies on top of lies
with a smile of course
and a concern so phony
all the llamas in Peru are cracking up
ho ho ha ha ha
you start slowly cooking your meal.
A long period of no fruition
Not letting anything through
You lay wishing the well had spared you
Before the blood
That you concealed
But the funk gave it away
Ancient furniture
Cold radiators
And just as Janus
unexpectedly befriended me,
The salt business
is o ver.
Stingrays whispered to you last night:
Time has come
To cut that piece of cloth dragging
Cut it off
so it doesn’t accidentally get entangled
somewhere else
Hop on the choo choo
Much like Mike,
I am not going back to Allston.

Dreamers
10:58

Everything went on as it was planned
All the people held each others hands
Making circles as the music played
Brought some memories back with them as they sang
We burned down our troubled homes to the ground
We chose to stay out there on the run
We buried our darkest hopes by the trees
And drowned our secrets deep into the sea
I saw you passing by
Your eyes carried a smile
With loved ones at your side
Those alive and those who have died
But that was just a dream
That was only a petty little dream
That was just a dream
That was just a dream
Seconds floating by
