A Cool Grave

machines retrace the steps we take
save me one of those black holes
Anthropocene, the last we’ll see
save me one of those dead zones
and when the lightning comes
I’ll lay my head down and dream of summer
come sweet repose in my cool grave
save me one of those

The Lion's Share

the lion’s share, discarded
what the midnight crew would not do
sickening to the stomach
I lie and drool without use
drugs! disproportionate partying
serotonin-drained you
wish I could recognise this face
as human
but I choke, hold
common sense when desperate to a devil’s end
no more to life than going down in style
our minds like shattering
shouldn’t come as much of a surprise
memetic, disconnected, wired and wireless
sycophantic, tireless
shimmer, shine from a flat screen
a flat dream
I sold my liver
I saw a spark
kept from descending in fear
my intimates like the black taint
letting go of my soiled past
grants me the shell
keeps me collected and clear
vile markets may collapse
but we live in lightyears
it's not your fault
that there's suffering
and I don't believe
that anything out there cares for us
give me a call
when they let you down

The Problems
03:37
|
|

|
my playstyle is no longer valid
and I’m not having fun anymore
slowly pushed out by competing industries
and artificial alkaline intelligence cores
there is a demographically demonstrable surplus
of highly educated young women in the city centre
clawing, clambering their way to the top
of their Maslow pyramid schemes
discontent and disallowed
to actually apply their many talents
as they’re forced through a revolving door
of ever younger, ever more eager new minds
eager but not quite yet ripe,
ready for the plucking by those who, established as they are,
hope to milk them of their essence and eventually
hop on to a nice government career
wouldn’t we all like to sap them like formidable trees
watching them wither as they're drained of the essential oils and minerals
that we need to survive
wouldn’t we all like to be on top for one day
well, we will be one day,
and it won't just be for one day, now witness me, yeah
so we waltz around and toil
waiting for our turn to perpetuate the upward cycle
because surely everything is improving
surely constant growth is the only way
convinced in our hearts that we are
the shining indigo children
a real added value to any product or service imaginable
24/7, call me
an eye for an eye
such a therapeutic smile
an eye for an eye
such a therapeutic smile
an eye for an eye
so incandescent, so worthwhile
an eye for an eye
oh baby, say it
it's a solemn life, but we're willing
it's a solemn life, but we're willing to try
it's a solemn life, but we're willing
it's a solemn life, but it's living

The Gate

a new life awaits us in the off-world colonies
a chance to begin again
in a golden land of adventure and opportunity
a golden land of adventure and opportunity
there's something wrong with us that drugs can't solve
there's something wrong with us that drugs can't solve
I want to drown myself, but the river runs dry
and when we think dark things, at least we think
that a new life awaits us in the off-world colonies
a chance to begin again
in a golden land of adventure and opportunity
a golden land of adventure and opportunity
Had a revelation but I'm still not sure
And if I want to change, will I have to taste the cure?
apples for the guardsmen!
my pockets: full of stones!
cast me from the cradle
cast me from the cradle
where a new life awaits me in the off-world colonies
a chance to begin again
in a golden land of adventure and opportunity
a golden land of adventure and opportunity
Had a revelation but I'm still not sure
And yes, I want to change, I just don't want to taste the cure
apples for the guardsmen!
my pockets: full of stones!
cast me from the cradle
carry me to shore
for crying out loud
there must be some intrinsic meaning to it all
for crying out loud
there must be some intrinsic meaning to it all
but no

Bestiary

write this down in your bestiary
the vast sadness: a distinguishing feature
the comedown is complementary
couldn't escape the storm this time
write this in your obituary
this life is carved into wandering stone
our common cause seems elementary
but maybe Earth just wants to be alone
this is the water, this is the well
drink deep now and descend
this is the water, this is the well
drink deep now and descend
the white in the eyes is the horse within
I have the fury of my own momentum
the white in the eyes is the horse within
I have the fury! I have the fury! I have the fury!
this is the water, this is the well
drink deep now and descend
this is the mother, the gravity well
drink deep now, oh children
the white in the eyes is the horse within
I have the fury of my own momentum
the white in the eyes is the horse within
I have the fury! I have the fury! I have the fury!
before the poison came the touch
which didn't feel like it would ever be enough
before the poison came the touch
which didn't feel like it would ever be enough
write this down in your bestiary
the vast sadness is what sets us apart
the ropes we tie are all temporary
and maybe all of this is just the start

Idiot Rope
03:52
|
|
||
|
what is central to my being?
minerals and decay
so I treat myself
most essential to my fever
when I dream, I dream of nothing but teeth
just a dancing shell
self-perpetuating two-step protocol
who ties the idiot rope round my neck
surely it can not be me
my city is
saturated with these goddamn monsters
what chemical burns were
uncovered by the morning light?
sardonic, laconic, draconic
all hordes report
all hordes repent
exercise! exorcise!
exercise! exorcise!
the city is a dirty bomb
the city is a glass ship
the city is a frail lover
the city is saturated

Incandenza
02:14

|
boring like the lorem ipsum
a call and suddenly: I'm all there
soft like a Sodom whisper
coarse, but suddenly: I'm desired
escape! escape!
cuts into your cornea
15-love
the shadow of a sad goliath
I mourn the loss
swallow hard and realise
that something quite profound
has happened at this juncture
the dawning cost
lathered over like a thick coat
and it doesn't seem real to me
that any of this is happening
escape! escape!
nothing can prepare you for it
thus does life
have its compensations
escape! escape!
embrace the life of a pariah
push to shove
thought you were better off without her

Yung Snowden
04:28

|

yung Snowden won't be paralysed
yung Snowden dreams of five dark eyes
she waits, she waits
yung Snowden leaving paradise
yung Snowden in the dead of night
she waits on a wet pillow on Hawaii
the hotel's silent now
the room is lonely
yung Snowden sits by the window
his mind is quiet now
the view is lovely
yung Snowden sits by his window
thinking of the NSA
drinking on his Hennessy

Chrysalis
05:09
|
|
||
|
there's a throbbing pain in the back of my neck
and it seems a solemn golem has come to collect
caught in the heat of it
can I not save me
impending chrysalis
a dot I can’t connect
like a soothing heat in the left in my chest
who defends the interests of the patently obsessed?
thought I'd be free of it
is this a craving
impending chrysalis
a thought I can’t collect
skin to skin now
at a distance
bless the weightless and I
have lived so stable
daisy chain child
inflicted upon I and I
crawling saviour
Insufflated
happenstance is life
it's chaos out there
but we're sedated
coxcomb friends on fire
but the phantom phases through the fabric of my dress
and synchronicity is not what we expect
impending chrysalis, impending chrysalis
impending chrysalis, a skin that I will shed

Unlikely Cassius
06:48
|
|

|
fashion me a chariot
unlikely Cassius
a shimmer, flicker, lashing us
a figure in the sand
eradicate the faithlessness
exclusion zones for scavengers
oh, Damocles is looking up
a sheath held in his hand
particulars like passing gusts
let go of me, and then of us
first past the post, to maladjust
depersonalise like I
what turns the fourth, what churns like rust
an interplanetary dust
an act we can't, a thought we must
a faith to fortify
an effigy to burn
a channel to the sea
the echo of a dancer
a gaze into the deep
an effigy to burn
a channel to the sea
the echo of an actor
who dreams but does not sleep
an effigy to burn
a channel to the sea
the echo of a lifetime
a gaze into the deep
an effigy to burn
a channel to the sea
the echo of a lover
I dream but do not sleep
when I get to the lighthouse
and I'm sure as hell getting over
when I get to the lighthouse
ground shakes low, crumbling like Dover
kept guard over infinite acres
now we depart for a withering plume
let there be light in the lighthouse
when I come, and I'm coming over
light's out at the lighthouse
last breath of a supernova
lost ward of the lighthouse
has been struck! I've been struck by a siren
light breaks anew!
light breaks anew!
light breaks anew!
light breaks!
an effigy to burn
a channel to the sea
the echo of a lifetime
there's nothing left to burn
release the light in me
the echoing of lovers
we dream but do not sleep
