In a Coma...
06:50

In a coma I dreamt of a world of mouth to hand
metal ships sailed through sea of black to disappear
walls of glass some shuttered in
the uniforms dulled with grey shadows littered about
pink paper lay discarded
in a coma breath in breath out
never seem to remember anything anyway
an excitement of a ship...
they could see inside and i knew why
we were clearly on our way
we will sail into the future
far into the black
and away...

Make it a good one this time
Scramble, clamber to unearth your claim
Don’t make it a loss this time – you’re going to butt in
You’re going to find your competitive side
Walking into a disposition that you never thought would fit
You won’t pray yourself into Oblivion
You won’t be scared sacred becoming a minion
You can’t help but crave
Desire eventually will have you wanting the right thing
You may seem a bit naïve, but you need to discover where the line is
So that you know where to cross it and walk beyond that silver streak
You won’t pray yourself into Oblivion
You won’t be scared sacred becoming a minion
Your house of cards
Can’t always be sheltered from every
Bump or breeze - keep it out of
Devastations sight…god forbid…I’d want to play with it
You won’t pray yourself into Oblivion
You won’t be scared sacred becoming a minion

Talking about my mouth you've got me distracted
You think I belong in this world of solid objects
You want to transfer ghosts to humanism.
Diverted from regaining my own natural rhythm
Shaded from what I know Ive been missing
Distracted
You tell me I need nothing to say
Cuz you can read in to how I sway
When it appeared that I was looking up at the sky I was looking at those crazy creatures in my eyes

Madness
04:40
|

|
They hid the stars in a dark night and never
Thought that they would survive without sunlight.
Lay down, we'll blanket you in darkness.
Now I won't do that again because
It hurt too bad and now I...
Miss myself. I miss myself.
Where did history go, where has nostalgia hidden herself?
Where has my madness gone? Where has my madness gone?
How can I play when I can't and these noises keep holding me back
And I look less like I do everyday?
A reflective sheet mocking my face.
They buried the earth underground
With the landmines and the moles and the wormholes
Without sunlight.
I lay low, embracing the dampness.
Now I won't lie there again because
It got too hard and now I...
Miss myself. I miss myself.
Where did history go, where has nostalgia hidden herself?
Where has my madness gone? Where has my madness gone?
How can I play when I can't and these voices keep holding me back
And I look less like I do everyday
A reflective sheet mocking my face.
Madness....

Spiders

dangerous; the laden movement of The Dark.
a fading twilight on the Confident Hoax
controlled (by the fear of meaning
mistaken by a sadist's vision
and patroned by the wooden sword)
if this is called heaven, a home, a reprieve
respectfully leave me with my own make believe
staking claim with a sleeve for the season
a vernacular of lies to reinforce reason
perhaps this is the answer to your self-indulgent matter?
calling you to walk away; the game of snakes & ladder.
echoes of shade
echoes of shadow
controller
controlled
does choice even matter...
to you?
who are we to draw the line, confined to a margin?
who are we to control life with mere thoughts of option?
who are we to know who we are, to be ready or ready or not?
to seethe & sew with ebb & flow, disaffected and vulnerable.
perhaps this is the answer to your self-indulgent matter?
calling you to walk away; the game of ladder & snake.
controller
controlled
whose fate is to flatter
you've got my interrogation circled in red on your memory sheet
remind yourself who's in control
leave it blank for another day
when the waves come for your perfect way
who are we to desecrate? to change the tides of time?
who are we to defy fate? to thread the needles eye?
who are we but the hands of gods with the free will of a weekly wage?
to breathe & grow outside the know, dialectically realigned

You've got sugar in your tongue tonight and a sweetness in your hair.
Yet, you still try to psychoanalyze the things that vanish into thin air.
These banterings cover all sides of the sphere like the universe to you
Yet, i am the fool for being free of a skin but still right here.
What is it that you want me to learn from you?
I see a mist around the moon tonight and I don't think it's a ghost.
A fortune teller read my hand and I think it could have been a hoax.
Suspicion is a common custom, truth often needs a test.
Shall I let myself believe that I am only worth my weight in flesh.
If you want love you need only lift your dress.
And to start with, peel off all divine evidence.
A pocket full of stones have forgotten what they're for.
And another spider's crawled out of the drain again.
That love is an emotion doesn't sit well with my gut.
That love is simply a chemical reaction is not enough.
Civilization has reduced the ocean down to salt.
And white has become so refined, it's essentially not.

One to Throw Away
08:33
|

So god painted her with sore eyes and cold lies
You add a little inquiry
Do you know how to get inspired by these people
By god, dont you hate them all
Theyre waiting for the rain cloud
Above my lane in a golden flurry
A bush fire will ignite in the desert and I have
Got one to throw away, Im a ghost on the highway
When I find the path to love Ill let you know.
No dont look up. Just keep running.
You cant see anything
We are so thoughtless and careless
Not just to ourselves but toward this planet.
Were the only ones who will take pleasure from
Anothers pain and we shun harmony
To maintain our position on the food chain
If you call that a gain
When I find the path to love Ill let you know.
Do we dare to communicate love, do we dare to extend out
Do we dare to speak our minds, do we dare to despise
If we smile too largely will our stitches tear
Uncovering, exposing whats really in there
You say I look a little haunted
Like a nameless, faceless, shapeless, shameless little thing
I want to know that for every gesture I make, I dont need to explain.
Time will tell and time will heal
I think thats pretty good for something thats not real
I gasp at the pleasure I get from
Seeing you in pain
And I shun humanity
To maintain my position in this war game
If thats what you want to play
When I find the path to love Ill let you know.

when it comes your time, fall into the flight of passion.
when all is not, lose yourself on the inside;
between the middle where all thoughts lie.
are you alone or are you?
save everything!
and save you!
from one mind!
and save you!
in the absence...
on the inside...
save you...
if that's what you really want to do...
when all is plastik, where's yr surgeon?
wouldn' tit be nice to be different for a day?
in your own way, and hey, if life is belief
why not start with yourself?
there's word of a middle where all thoughts lie
are you alone or are you?
save everything!
and save you!
from one mind!
and save you!
in the absence...
on the inside...
save you..
if that 's what you really want to do...

Broken Like This
03:07
|
|||
|
Through the coil I catch the bus
Struggle to keep standing up
This is what takes me far away from then
And I don’t know anything
About time and the state of mind
Whatever works to get me out of here will do
Sleeping’s a waste and
Breathing is fake
It’s all just what I think
That keeps the world
Broken like this
Make some sound with me please
I miss your face if I can’t see
Through this precious sorrow that I bought
And I know I’m paying again
This is the pattern that I spin
I don’t like webs that tangle, wrap so tight

Resistance
05:31
|

|
They appear as quickly as they escape, these dreams and revelations.
Just before I attempt to explore, they depart, leaving empty space…
so how can you pilot the planet?
how can you be insightful change?
and how do you know this moment has the present creation to arrange?
The way to make the doubt go away;
Harm cannot be if resistance doesn’t exist,
so I’ll surrender ceremoniously.
In this space, do you know your place?
are your parts and pieces grounded in a systematic manner?
Overindulge the gray - as my ego walks through, I secure the door.
She protests…what did you do that for?
haven’t we made a great force so far?
and do you really think you’ll ever find...
The way to make the doubt go away?
Harm cannot be if resistance doesn’t exist, so I’ll surrender ceremoniously.
silence has a voice
nothing is created outside
only within this void
i'm going to drop the ball
and i'm going to let it fall
to lay bare
