Breathing
05:44
|
|||
i stopped breathing
and asked myself is this good enough for me
the world's spinning
and in the darkness i found comfort i found peace
yeah i'm leaving
there is nothing real up there
there is nothing good up there
i've been dreaming
and only this is real
only this is real
you stopped breathing
and asked yourself is this good enough for you
the world's ending
and only love will see your spirit through
yeah your leaving
cause there is nothing real in here
and there is nothing true in here
you've been spinning
but now you're standing still
now you're standing still
is it me who did this to me

Dragon Star
07:03
|
|||
i was the one who fought the dragon
i was the one who slayed the beast
a thousand yards of blood and maggots
a thousand yards of bended knees
i am the start of something careful
i am the start of something neat
watch my stars fall in handfuls
watch my cars hit your trees
what i say
said let me be
cause i'm afraid
yeah i'm afraid
so let me be
cause i'm afraid
yeah i'm afraid
so what i say
i count the day
in this house
in this house
i count the days
in this house
in this house
in this house
no matter what i say
don't let me out
cause there's hell to pay
there's hell to pay
don't let me out
no matter what i say
don't take me down
they broke me down
and there's hell to pay
they pushed me out
and i'll make them pay
i'll make them pay
(nothing in the foreground to focus on, nothing left and everything both are gone, you are not a hymn or a one-time song, time is upon us war is gone, everything you thought was a broken star, everything you had was a roseless thorn, places in your head that you've never gone, places in your head that you've dreamed before.)
i'm not an animal
i know i don't know

Crash Test Dummies
07:27
|
|||
i'm sailing way
on a winter ship
through a database
of lost souls
crash test dummies
long forgotten
left to breathe
blind and alone
i'm sailing way
on a wintership
strange dust and elbows
clog my green eyes
strange thoughts arise
on a winter ship
through a deserted machine
just floating head and the unseen

The Swimming Ideas
08:14
|
|||
how low the whispers spoke
as i approached the chamber
doors close the sound of smoke
dissapears behind the pulse
your home is under our control
there are children without whom you would know
the garbage and the smoke
they touched my eyes
through a dreg creeping upward from the pavement
you sandwiched in between a carousel of words
when everything hurts
a spleen dissapears
a blur of dark images
-fire in the atmosphere-
the water beneath
i was taken into the whales mouth
it wasn't a mistake, it wasn't a mistake
wake up the sensors in the walls
spill out the carbons in the den
we're making spiritual advice
you and i condescend
we're making table lanterns light
we're making fish forget to swim
the swimming ideas
the swimming ideas

Politico
04:47
|
|||
the oil fields are burning bright. right on.
why am i giving speeches? why are there crowds?
no matter what we're gonna die. right on.
right on down to the matter right on down to the matter
it's gotta be some sort of game
some illusion some test we must
exist beyond this mess we must
exist outside of this, maybe i'll wake up
all is ending
the fear is still
all is ending
the fear is still
here
they should walk in our shoes
and see our cities from the ground
how surely we do not compare
how little we are in control now
there's something we're afraid to say
some force behind the day to day
we're being molded for their math
with politicians in our soul

Coordinates
08:12
|
|||
it doesn't even seem real
to clear to draw parallels
we're all very seperate today
well, at least i know my place
i'm here to jump in from the walls
and feast my eyes
now feast your eyes on this
coordinates to something else
yes sir here we go
it's a mask it's a headtrip trap it's a basket case it's erasing you it's eleastic. anything you are it can put into plastic rack it anything you want you can ask it: girls guys breasts thighs weapons lies magic. tragedy strikes where you like if you lack it. color for your eyes look alive but you're absent. staring at the lights you can feel your inaction. a passionless vacuum your mind is held captive everything from here on out is a massive escape from the fate of a jetplane crashing into skyscraped painted fat face of your master
spitting non-stop anti-matter from the tabloids draining to the billboards raping all sense of the natural
this! this is how you spell disaster.

Outdoor Science
06:31
|
|||
all the courtyard bubbles in
muscles bend
and we find we're closing down again
all along the spare time
ways that we can find
one another
how you rationalize
who you are

i was born on a sinking ship.
raised in a dying forest.
moved to crumbling city after crumbling city.
and now wait for at last to come
