Atlantis 04:09
When the bottom fell out Went slipping down the stairs All the years we mapped out Gone with the summer We had it wrong As the bells ring out And silence the memory The nightmare’s woke now Every minute, eternity A restless calm Clear and real Fear this fear All the broken glass Bent backward in the sun All the broken people Buy the biggest guns Following the siren’s song Clear and real Fear this fear Thought I heard a knock on the door Hid my head and didn’t say more Suddenly the sea was the floor Letters left unread on the shore A city drowned alive in the lore Thought I heard a knock on the door

Breathe 03:40
Underwater world Among the fishes and the thieves Resurrection No goodbye This amygdalic agita Is drowning clarity Every glacier Liquified [you gotta] Breathe Breathe I’m always adding up to infinity No end in sight And the present dies Sunburnt on the beach We are new creature refugees On vacation There’s many more than A million dots of light that got forgotten By the night There’s a hurricane Alive in our bones [you gotta] Breathe [you gotta] Breathe [he can’t] Breathe [C’mon please] Breathe I’m always adding up to infinity No end, no why The present dies One day I swear to God One day I swear to God [One day I swear to God In an epiphany Unlike anything Anybody’s ever seen Thoughts that I saved Will save me too] I’m always adding up to infinity No end No Why am I Always adding Up to infinity No end In sight

Of The Deep 03:25
Ammunition pocks on the shag Lesions open black and steaming Here I lie your femme little fag Here I come in your ears screaming A crooked dance, I jabber walk A zombie in your mother’s jewellery The morning in your mirror knocks Fluorescent from her midnight obscurity I was forged in fire I was forged in fire And I’m standing upon The greatest heights of the deep One by one, the holes dry up Slug by slug, rewound, reloaded The dirty secrets I could dig up Expressions are a website decoded I was forged in fire I was forged in fire

Aurora Born 03:43
Forget me while I open up the sky Bisect the night In trails of fireflies We rise Animated by the light We rise Awakened by the light Aurora born And glowing in the dark Oceans alive The multiples divide A honeyed hive Tickled by the knife We rise Animated by the light We rise Awakened by the light Aurora born And glowing in the dark Go Running faster than the speed of light Aurora born And glowing in the dark Atoms collide Experiments awry With rising tide The probability is high We’ll rise Awakened by the light We rise Animated by the light

Moon Lure 03:46
Waking up from a dream Waking up from a dream Miles under the sea Miles under the sea Hundreds walk on the beach A hundred walk on the beach Looking up silently Looking up silently At the moon lure I am not what I seem I am not what I seem A skeleton in the tree A skeleton in the tree All the barnacles leach All the barnacles leach And hang alive off of me Hang alive off of me And the moon lure And the moon Balanced up on a beam Balanced up on a beam Reaching up through the leaves Reaching up through the leaves For a bite of the peach For a bite of the peach If the sugar is free Then the sugar is free And the moon is too And the moon

In Parallels 05:10
How we move in parallels How we move in parallels How we move in parallels How we move in parallels Warm summer night He kissed the sky Along the water’s skin Skipping stones Across his heart And open to die Across his heart Happy to die How we move in parallels How we move in parallels Follow the fallen stars Our disco ball Buoyed by the clouds And through he fell Into my arms And open to die Into my arms Happy to die How we move in parallels How we move in parallels Walk on wintertide The world is wide Wonderful and slow I saw you glide On glittered ice And open to die I’m under the ice Happy to die How we move in parallels How we move in parallels How we move in parallels How we move in parallels The dawn awakens spring The warblers sing Come river rising Up to my knees With all this life And open to die With all this life Happy to die

Walk all over me Do what you need to do, baby Cuz there’s something Still alive in your eyes I gotta break your heart Ain’t much more to it, baby The notes left on the wall Don’t harmonize The skies are crying in Tokyo You’d been begging me not to go But I did Baby, I did Thunder claps with a single hand You do not have to understand But I do Baby, I do When you stopped the train And said I love you, baby The people on the platform Were your spies All their signs that said You better watch out, baby The underground is where An echo dies An ocean fell on Tokyo You’re begging me not to go But I do Baby, I do Drink your tea and wash your bowl Soon I swear you’ll be feeling whole Again Again Again Again Lost and found in Tokyo If he isn’t here with you He has to go He has to go Flowers fall as light as rain Collecting there atop the drain And you will Baby, you will

Disappearing 04:56
Stumbled upon Some husk of a thing Melting almost Crawling out the ice A phantom limb feeling Through the trees Broke and disappearing But in a way I feel I’m different And in another Just the same Mama said babe You're one in a billion On its back The lungs of the beast Remember almost Forgetting how to breathe A hollow skull echoing With disease Never disappearing And everyday I’m feeling different But everything is Just the same Mama said babe You're one in a billion And everyday I’m feeling different But everything is Just the same One of the billions Let’s go Slow dancing In the desert The fire of the night In your eyes On the ceiling are So many stars Where’s ours? Ossified Brontosaurus Rising almost Hissing in the smoke An amniotic reckoning And loose trapeze We are disappearing But in decay I feel indifferent Black petroleum And rain Fall on the billions And I must say this Conversation Has upset My holiday Let’s go Slow dancing In the desert The fire of the night In your eyes On the ceiling are So many stars And if lightyears away On a planet afar They stare up at the sky

Maybe I’ll stay with you Driving along A road with no rails Nothing goes wrong When I’m walking on air with you We don’t belong To the radio dial You’re writing my songs When I’m walking on air with you [Maybe I’ll stay here Maybe I’ll stay with you] I’ve come a long way from home Minutes are long And the weather is fair In the celestial calm Together walking on air with you If the planet is gone And so is the spare Two will live on If I keep walking on air with you [Maybe I’ll stay here Maybe I’ll stay with you] I’ve come a long way from home I’ve come a long way [Baby I’ll stay here Baby I’ll stay with you] In the binary dawn You’re washing my hair Gravity’s strong But I keep walking on air with you [Baby I’ll stay here Baby I’ll stay with you] I’ve come a long way from home I’ve come a long way When the curtain is drawn And they’re stacking up chairs In the denouement I am walking on air with you Baby what a beautiful view

Kōan 03:19
In my head All alone A lingering Undertow Upside down Waterlogged I float a light Amid the fog [Bring me in] [I don’t know I don’t know I don’t know I don’t know It’s alright It’s alright] Hold my hand Walk with me Conjure me Certainty [Bring me in] Take me home Woebegone Clarify The kōan Please There is grace in erasure Take my picture and Print up the negative Berry blue silhouette Will o’the wisp Take my life And I’ll have yours [I don’t know I don’t know I don’t know I don’t know It’s alright It’s alright]

For Megan 02:05
Four hundred billion birds singing for Megan and back again If you’re gunna live And I mean really live If you’re gunna live In the hot heat of More than One hundred billion stars burning for Megan and back again If you’re gunna live And I mean really live If you’re gunna live In the body of One man And all the moves he makes for Megan and back again

A Slinky 04:21
All the boys bring Water in the morning Biking down the avenue In their eyes burn An ephemeral blue Staring down At a face in the water Floating on the algae bloom Is it your first time Walking out of the tomb? Ouroboros Ouroboros In reflections From the lightning flashes Crawling out the witch’s brew You’re every element Reassembled anew Amaranthine Born into nothing Drifting down the water flume Now our threads are Woven into the loom Ouroboros Ouroboros Like a slinky moving Up the stairs Into an ocean of stars and through When I come back I’ll bring water for you When I come back I’ll bring water for you When I come back I’ll bring water for you Ouroboros Ouroboros Ouroboros
