Atlantis

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

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

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

Lament for the Living
03:20
|
|||
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

Walking On Air
03:02

|

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
