Shipwrecked
Down and out
running out of water
water all around
air is getting hotter
alone, all alone
I wish I had a record
Beatles, Rolling Stones
anything to help me get by
There's a dot on the horizon
There are faces in the sky
The horizon, horizontal eyes
open wide, open wide
Let me climb up the horizon
touch the faces in the sky
feel the lines, cracked flesh
in the clouds
growing vertically old
old, old, I am running out of water
I had a name once
Had a name once
and a life
I remember being shipwrecked
long ago, long ago
but now I am home
I am home
I. Am. Home.
I am
I am
We are
We are...

Meet me at the motel
Meet me at the motel
Make sure nobody knows
Meet me at the motel
Set a loved on on fire
How about we take turns?
You're a thief, I'm a liar
And we're so fucked up
It's perfect
Meet me at the motel
Meet me at the motel
Make sure nobody knows
Just meet me at the motel
Take off all of our clothes
Drown our feelings in paint
Our cigarettes running low
and as our bodies clash together
We wish for shards of glass and weather
so cold, what season is it?
And would you smash my face in?
Meet me at the motel
Meet me at the motel
Make sure nobody knows
Meet me at the motel
Feed me winter
Feed me snow
and all of the wrong episodes
Make me guilty
Make me bold
All our dreams are bought and sold

Nethers
07:47

I shot myself down in Nethers, in Nethers
Dust came settling down like feathers
Like feathers
A spidery sun came crawlin' round
is when I made my way to town
in Nethers, in Nethers
Where buildings met the evening's gaze
I settled there upon my grave
in tethers, in tethers
In New York was the Empire State
In San Fran t'was the Golden Gate
I tethered, I tethered
In Wurzburg hear the witches cry
how families' eyes have seen me die
like embers, like embers
In the mall I had a ball with my blood against the wall
while you were watching
while you were watching
So take what you need instead of asking
Instead of asking
Instead of asking
I shot myself down in Nethers
in Nethers
No one cared at all
In Nethers, in Nethers
No shock, nor applause
nor screaming faces
one lone eyebrow lifted
Not in Nethers

Infinite Black Holes

|
You're too much for me
Your words mean nothing
We're stuck in a feedback loop
Now the sun's going down
It's taking us with it
Infinite Black Holes
There's a place in the sea
No maps could ever find
it will swallow you whole
Many sailors have tried
and none have survived
Infinite Black Holes
Infinite
Infinite
Infinite Black Holes

Only the Mad
04:04
|

|
To eat what you see
and see what you eat
Our lives complete
a storm's coming down
but I'll not budge
So sad that you can't stay
Those words in your mouth
were once coming out
But now they're stuck
The taste of your name insufferably bad
You want to choke
Too mad to live
To live to be mad
We're all mad here
Your thoughts coming down
like snow on the ground
Who likes the cold?
Those words in your mouth
are walking about all to and fro
Stark men dressed in suits
abominably rude
They're driving home
They're going home
They're going home
They're trying to take you with them
but who needs home?

Ride the Wave

Ride the wave
Because it's what you really want to do
Ride the wave
Into every fucking afternoon you'll have
Ride the wave
Feel it underneath your toes
and as the sun begins to set
feel it just begin to grow
Ride the wave
Ride it up into the sky
Ride the wave
This is how you steer the ocean blue
Ride the wave
keep on riding through the night
and as your flesh all turns to sponge
feel it wrap around your thighs
you'd better ride the wave
Ride the wave
over cities cold and grey
Ride the wave
Through Tokyo and through LA
Ride the wave
There's a screaming 'cross the sky
and it has been identified
as a wave that we must ride
Ride the wave
Feel it all begin to sink
Ride the wave
Every town and every dream
Ride the wave
There are children treading by now watch them all begin to gasp for air rubbing salt into their eyes
you'd better ride the wave
Ride the wave
Ride the wave
Ride the wave
You'd better...you'd better....
We are ever so high
There's Noah's ark now smashed in two
We are rising ever higher and what the fools call gravity
is plainly drowning in the mire

Broken Glass Sky
08:42
|

|
In the dusk light moon
still stragglin around
the color here, it presents no sound
but i swear that last scene was just your thing
got wondering if city lights held such sway.
On the cracked worn saddle there is no sound
Accept the wind in our breath
and the clanks on the ground
I feel the cold wind blow
Oh you know it well
drove you, you said out of this hole
You left the dirt in your tracks spinning stone
Each day goes wagging on by
teeth clenched to carry my bones
Ghosts of ghosts creeping on by
Taking their wagons home
Well i know i could have been a better man
But a man's but a tool and shed
The sky is a jar
And you saw that clearer than I
when you left the sky was all of broken glass
the pieces stained grey
What I'd give to make things last
but them ghosts are moving on past
Dear God just let my rust shine

I got downtown at quarter to four
to see mahogany men behind mahogany doors
They didn't mean to be rude
But they said I've gotta pay my dues
I placed an ad online to try to sell my heart
and with the money that i make my life will finally start
I'm gonna find my way
No matter what they say
And you might think I'm insane
but when I'm gone you'll remember my name
Cuz I'm a lucky man
Yes I'm a lucky man
Climb towards the highest peak of unborn holidays
leave all the other ones behind you
swim towards the deepest depths of all topographies
Here's what it's like to be so young, to be so young
Casting pearls left and right
hold them up into the light
witness all of your tomorrows
all the suns and all the moons
they are right here in this room
if ticking clocks
they are ticking ever faster
and faster
Climb towards the highest peak of unboarn holidays
here's what it's like to be so young, to be so young

Fall Into
06:14

|
Quit your job, walk out on the kids
without warning
it's a beautiful day to evaporate in a pink mist of glory
without warning
without warning
just think of what the others would say
Just think of what the others would say
Just think of what the others would
Open your eyes and look down on the streets
as you pass them by
slowing sinking
through the cuckoo clock's cry
to the other side
Barely thinking
Barely feeling
Clouded memores
Voices singing
Fall into me
Fall into me
Fall into me

My Jocelyn

My Jocelyn says she doesn't love me anymore
There's dinner warm in ready in the living room
On the sofa lies a great divide
My Jocelyn says she's afraid of growing old
Her body wrapped in veins
a long decay
She will agonize her death away
Maybe I don't mind
Maybe I don't mind
This great divide
This great divide
Maybe surgery
Maybe surgery in China
Open your heart for a nickel and dime
Make me whole again
Make me feel again
What it's like
Maybe I don't mind
Everybody wants to love somebody
Everybody wants to be somebody
Everybody wants to love somebody
Everybody wants to be somebody
Feed me winter feed me snow
and all of the wrong episodes
Make me guilty make me bold
all our dreams are bought and sold
