gifts 03:15
gifts there's something i brought you placed in your palm it floats in your fingers sings you a psalm it climbs through your curls it sleeps in your ear it snores in your skies gift from the old myrrh tree burns for the absentee it's tempting to chain it keep it locked up never let air make it corrupt you know that it's dying to take off in flight and cast others in its light gift from the old myrrh tree burns for the absentee drift and disperse like smoke in the surf... you know you will miss it but you want it to leave your happy its going 'cause its too hard to hold and you know you'll want it to return sometime soon on some lonely ass afternoon gift from the old myrrh tree burns for the absentee gift from the old myrrh tree burns for the absentee

Gold in the green of a mid summer leaf Perhaps more beauty than vernal vibrancy Bees are drunk on pollen and theyre tumblin all around They bump in to the lip from which I bleed Ah now don't you fight Resist with all of your might No unrequired self defense I promise to do my best not to bight Soaring slow motion You tore out your needle So we forfeit the life and body Bridge of lightning with Heights so frightening Guts to ether dissolve completely Ah bow you sure do shake But bow dont you break What a mess it will make Leaving only broken combs And orphans in our wake

common crow 03:41
common crow a guttural belch conjuring common crow it's awkward flutter flown a pageant i have sewn i offer a pupa prayer the poison made me strong but it aint gonna last too long and we sowed our salty ways nectar for the bees spoils in the trees and i want you to be free with me in our untidy vulnerability summon grace and cavalry courage in kisses and cuffs you gave me the broderick an anvil for a tongue a scourge you had swung and i feigned and played dead yeah, i feigned and played dead the bullshit i can purge and blossomed we'll emerge the vertigo of our messes the commingling c-caresses underdog under your dresses courage in kisses and cuffs and i want you to be free with me in our untidy vulnerability summon grace and the cavalry courage in kisses and cuffs

storm of feathers snow dissolving on you palm the haunting sustain a stones sorrow a storm of feathers a specter passin through specter's passin through the mountain bees revolving in a bottle of wine ravens wheel into the fissured sky (i dream of drowning in a bottle of time haunted sustain a stone's sorrow) a floating bottle a hive made of time a stone dissolving in an ocean of wine snow dissolving on your palm the floating sustain a stone's sorrow and we can just disappear on horses farting into the clear space where noone or nothing can find where we hide until we desire to reappear a storm of feathers rose from the pillow the knife that you drew stuck in the side (i dream of dissolving in a bottle of wine) stars are stones lifted above tacked to the sky to remember us by lifted above released from the ground an effervescent sea a storm of feathers stones are swallows tacked to the sky swallows are stars to remember us by snow dissolving on your palm the haunted sustain a stone's sorrow

fire next time the wide wide ocean i have seen completely covered in gasoline never saw the rainbow so slick and sheen never saw the rainbow so vile and obscene oh la da day my faucet drains into the sea but i wont let that bother me oh la da da day ocean claimed cities and spat back whales seaweed and wrack for garbage pails all prisoners were freed from their jails only to drown beneath the sails of capsized boats and navy coats octopi surfaced only to float like a discarded rug in a nobleman's moat the ocean spat spires into the sky like a horn into a matadors eye tore it open and down did fly tongues of flame that began to fry plains and the mountains turned them to dust stripped paint from cars let them rust leaving nothing but a black charred crusted fire does what it does it does what it must after the fire burned the oil off of the sea and it flowed back over the barren country ha ha hee hee from dust was it made and dust it shall be from dust was it made and dust it shall be from the cape of good hope to tripoi from dust was it made and dust it shall be more cause and effect than philosophy oh la da day my faucet drains into the sea but iwont let that bother me oh la da da day

the hottest days of summer in the hottest days of summer i was a drunken fool i drank and got much number til my soul felt less cruel i was invisible unseen by men and only ghosts i hack the moon to pieces i spit in a ravens eye i pigtied chupacabra and skinned him half alive javelina were my companions in the wicked desert field i chewed stones for my pleasure no caution did i yield i danced with the serpents daughter and her scales of disease her callous tongue entwined me and brought me to my knees i slit the sky wide open doused the sun with blood i fell into a slumber drowned in a pool of mud i tilled up the graveyard leveled the mausoleum i milled all the dry bones and sifted them with salt i hacked the moon to pieces i spit in a ravens eye i pigtied chupacabra chewed stones in the hottest days of summer i was a drunken fool i drank and got much number til my soul felt less cruel i was invisible unseen by men and only ghosts

bedful of bulbs bedful of heads bedful of bulbs slow moaning low solo cavalcade the emt in a white motion pass bed bedful of bulbs bedful of heads slumberin no glow this is how we start the day this is how we find our way all tucked in a row slumberin with a crouchin crane smokin a cigarette he's leanin himself up high above liftin himself up high above the avenue this is how we start the day this is how we find our way daffodils loosin their crown always starin always lookin down takin in somethin we can't see are they reportin? are they recordin you and me permanantly staring down this is how we start the day this is how we find our way

heliopause 04:03
heliopause yes we're still alive close encounter with lightning no kind of struggle just to give up the fight and give into flight you know its the truth that brings these lines to my face someone send up a flare 'cause this poor boy's lost out in space (away...) someone give me a compass something by which i can steer the stars i used to guide by them but they're no use for me here (no use here...) when you're looking for testement i'll be the first one to sing 'cause everywhere i ve gone in this direction i'm cast there's no reward, there is no bell to ring out here.

trees (eeg) 04:33
trees (eeg) drive by the woods sun cuts through the trees over me my eyes can see a bit of the light a bit of the trees inside the movements the ghosts i can see ground in flames a and sky of ice drive by the woods sun cuts through the trees over me my eyes can see a bit of the light a bit of the trees inside the movements the ghosts i can see ground in flames a and sky of ice drive by the woods sun cuts through the trees over me my eyes can see it grew from a spec then filled the room death came so close after the bloom trees divided by the light i see trees divided by the light in me the light i see the light in me the light i see the light in me
