Hex
03:09
|

a shadow standing next to me
so true maybe i can see
the dark matter in the destiny you put a hex on
a good eye has a lot to lend you
but some people maybe i can't see
in the midnight of my mind they put a hex on me
and you're standing next to me
so real for the eye to see raw mineral ecstasy, put the hex on
two nights in the undertow
new vision only i can see
more time to align the mind to get the head right
and put a hex on me
put the hex on me
they put the hex on me
put a hex on me.

String
04:36

in the great divide in the piece of mind
in the history how long is the song to sing?
in the new sunshine, you can take your time
in remembering how long is a piece of string?
in the new sunshine you can loose your mind
in remembering one song can kill the king
how long how long how long how long?
how long is remembering how wrong did we used to be
how long is the song to sing how long is a piece of string?
how long is a piece of string?
how long is a reckoning?
how good an apology?
how long a recovery?
how long is remembering, how wrong did we sued to be
how long is a song to sing how long is a piece of string?

Still Life
03:43
|
|||
nothing changes with love
just a pure iteration of the other one
you can fail so safe with the basement taped
memories cooked down into usernames
it goes over and over and over and over again
is the valley uncanny from here?
it’s a face in a face when you're facing the healer
still
life is growing with you
still
overflowing with you and with you it goes
over and over and over and over again

The Fix
03:20
|

on a land where nothing grows
another day until the sea goes cold
another future for the prophet to hold
over your shoulder the cameras caught it all
in the shadow of another sun
still running when the day is done
still running from the zeros and ones
i don't wanna
i know why
what a twisted game we play
i wish it never had to be that way but
all against all is how they fix the game
i get the feeling something isn't showing
in the shadow of another sun
still running
when the day is done
still running
from the zeros and ones
i don't wanna
i don't wanna
in the shadow
of another sun
still running
when the day is done
still running from the zeros and ones
i don't wanna
i don't wanna

Under Burden
02:16
|

when you watch me
i get nervous
i can't do it
under burden
when you watch me
i can't do it
under burden
when you watch me
under burden

Memory Screen pt. 1
01:45
|
|||
it takes more light
to see you through
the longer night
but i'll get to you
and then the hardest thing
will be what you bring
when they come for you
i guess i'll feel it too
look at the sky it sings
of a million days
the world it burned for you
but could you feel it through?
the static of the time
i found you hard to find
i like you like the moon
i hope you come out soon
a love may be returned to me
dry and bright the crystal sea
the change has been the kindest friend
alone on the memory screen

i toasted you today and spoke the words once known to me
in the midnight of my mind where up and down don't live beside you
we are not the last
just a drop in the poison glass
so don't feed the world to me
you caught the bosses arrow
hard beneath the willow glade
but my love the color of the time has gone green to grey
we are not the last drop in the poison glass
don't feed the world to me
the crows will come to greet me so quickly now to hide my face
purple flower they remember the memories are stuck together
we are not the last
just a drop in the poison glass
so don't feed the world
just be the world to me

Lady's Mantle

have you ever noticed once and a while
the grass will bend
anyway it can
they don't say how, they don't say when but can i come in?
there's been a mistake
in the usual way
a see through veil
the garden sprayed
on a fortress tall sits the number one
unmatched, unnamed until the time it comes
last call on the phone was off
can't talk got to give them a song
just like the waves delicious sound
strictly speaking in the shadow world
let the dark times roll on
you'll see the form collapses
you won't hear tell
or hear a bell
the numbers have come in
there is no time at all
the promise laid so thin
how can the garden grow?
in darkness hear the call
the master of us all
how can the garden grow?

Concrete Sea
02:35
|

I heard some music being played today
i heard a song but the words were wrong
it didn't matter to me anyway
some people really don't care what they say
i started looking to the sky today
its so big and its so far away
got so many things inside my head
sometimes i wish i were there instead
no one is meant to be
living here in a concrete sea
everyone including me
wishes they would be set free
and so i looked into the ocean blue
it's so deep and it's so quiet too
there's just so many people everywhere
sometimes i wish was there
no one is meant to be
living here in a concrete sea
everyone including me
wishes they would be set free
i heard a story being told today
about a man and just how he got away
you gotta leave the things you grow up for
turn your head and start to swim for sure
no one is meant to be
living here in a concrete sea
everyone including me
wishes they would be set free

it takes more light
just to see you through
the longer night
but i'll get to you
and then the hardest thing
will be what you bring
when they come for you
i guess i'll feel it too
look at the sky it sings
about a million days
the world it burned for you
but could you feel it through
the static of the day
communication craze
i like you like the moon
i hope to see you soon
it takes more time
than they'll give to you
it's an unfair fight
they will get you through
the dealer of my days
we are so out of phase
but is it not true?
when they come for you
