dark eyes 03:50
Look upon the land with your dark eyes The moon is rising in our lungs Woods are burning turn your black eye A liquid limb succumbs Heads bobbing on spines A slurred understanding Wading in a wake of wine As gravity does drain our acrobatics Look upon the land with your dark eyes The moon is rising in our lungs Your fingertips I love in the night sky Like pearls in the summer sun What was that name? My memory's gone astray The spirits in our mouths ignite On the backs of smoke and vines we ride If we trip this snare of landmines Blood will surely flow Will they say that we were stupid? It isn't like we didn't know In a bath all night waterlogged An echo in a grain silo We can mend the torn horizon The night is ours... Oh my Jesus! well i wonder! You're streaking through the razor snow Isn't lovin hard to follow I didn't get the horoscope But lose our heads not if our legs are hollow Wading in a wake of wine The night is here and ours to swallow If we drink this cord of light Then we will surely come If we didn't have this slow rise We wouldn't be half as loved Hera's hangin with her bull whip Will we brand the sting We can mend the torn horizon Shouldering our slings

waxwing 03:58
Wingtips the color of what they eat Passin berries up branches Is this what you see? Early out walkin Found two dead waxwings Facing one another Beneath the sky in the window pane Is it good for me? Or should i let it be? Can you see what is blind to me?

Do i have To hit rock bottom Hit rock bottom Always Learning the hard way Learning the hard way Brainwashed To lose my lead Brainwashed And now i bleed all over Burnin The candle at both ends The candle at both ends Can i Tie up the loose ends Always some loose ends Brainwashed To give up my sweat Brainwashed And then forget all over Brainwashed To go so far Brainwashed And now i start all over

high hopes 01:17
Baby can you be true Baby can you be true Thats all I really want from you Baby be true 'cause that's all i can do For you You put me down You treat me bad You know your'e the worst shit I ever had And I only had high hopes for you Baby I just want you to be true

as is 03:45
Help me out as I shore this sleepless notion That I'm shattered by you leaving me alone You see I'm just sufferin from my devotion And the thought that nothin I did was wrong The harpies bade beware On our limbs the talons tear It's a sanguinary snare And there's nothing of what we're made to repair I've become so grotesque emulation And I've squandered the character I've earned Atrophied in my pathetic prostration Yeah I bowed before your beauty as it burned The harpies bade beware On our limbs their talons tear It's a sanguinary snare And there's nothing of what we're made to repair We both bleed in the ruins of our yearning Would it be better to just shoot you in the face Ah it's just pain of molting and returning To our naked and glowing grace The harpies bade beware On our limbs their talons tear It's a sanguinary snare And there's nothing of what we're made to repair

link razor 03:50
Trip rock war del One eyed trout in a modest bed Insects run all around my head Fall... days... light... dies... Every year it's the same nadir Solar breath whisper in my ear Storm above me No stars to guide me home I want what i said Your knife to my chest Being with you I've known death Storm above me No Stars to guide me home Gloam green adore me Head is tired no ride tonight Bled on the bank no cars in sight All day fight my Arm is tied and I didn't get fed One eyed trout in a modest bed Storm above me No Stars to guide me on Storm above me Lay beside me for...

Went to bed late, rose early Winterwonderfuck and my pocket's empty All my surroundings are on fire My blood my eyes my ears A gospel choir Losin money has lifted a veil The deafening frequency of finances fail I'm adorned by the tactile starstuff on my tongue The future is fertile the past already dung The turnaround in Simone's lilac wine And J. Giorno's on the pulpit so devine Chemical vertigo and libidinal exhaustion Not crushed beneath the weight of possession Losin money has lifted a veil The deafening frequency of finances fail I'm adorned by the tactile starstuff on my tongue The future is fertile the past already dung

walk off 04:01
I didn't want to rise From the comfort of your body How it kept me warm all night I was afraid of what I'd find On the other side of the bedpost In the cold outside And I didn't walk to find What the other's did to pass the time I walked out to walk off my mind Walked out to walk off my mind And my ego's beginning to resemble a vulture That's pullin at the tendons of a freshly killed cadaver And What I thought was waning Was only just beginning I walked out to walk off my mind Walked out to walk off my mind And I wandered to the river to get some perspective Found the water frozen and a bit too reflective And what I thought was winning Was the ice below me thinning I walked out to walk off my mind Walked out to walk off my mind Walked out to walk off my mind Walked out to walk of my mind

about

A bit that was caught in the gut, coughed up, drifted around then floated to the heads. Echolocation of rock bottom topography. Ambergris, a one time indigestible artifact, a cowboy karaoke, greased by the film of time, offered as counterpoint to that fecund mess that isn't song.
