vinyl complexes feed lust and blood grieveance sudden backlash crinkle notebook prowess agree, abhor, wince sold to the highest bidder for another swill of gin though he was shocked, felt soon equipped acclimated and fell in under canopy marooned no way out screaming arbor bloom no way out it feels a bit like falling, floating I feel like being lost and somewhere day by day joining broken clod I have lived till now almost sum and whole

Pronouns 03:08
You said you think you want me, but what you need is something more. You said you think you should leave, but you couldn't find the door. Let's not go on like this Act like I don't know that the sun will set again You said you think you've lost me, but I've lost me, too, so I can't be sure. You said you think I'm hard to read, but that's just of my allure. Let's not go on like this Act like I don't know that the sun will set again You said you think that I need someone to remind me what is real, but could I go on like this? or should I break the seal? I think it's time. I think it's time. I think it's time. I think it's time that I think it's time that I think it's time It's time, It's time, It's time. I think you think you love me, but I never want to know. I think you think you'll miss me, so I think that I should go.

Corona 04:43
In the shadow of this reactionary abyss I find I'm dying In harmony to coronal storms in bloom theres nothing left that is Weathered a storm of fists and words I find eclipsing The melody to successive widening rooms fills me with dread La, La Swa mec gelome laðgeteonan þreatedon þearle. Ic him þenode deoran sweorde, swa hit gedefe wæs. Næs hie ðære fylle gefean hæfdon, manfordædlan, þæt hie me þegon, symbel ymbsæton sægrunde neah; ac on mergenne mecum wunde be yðlafe uppe lægon,sweordum aswefede... In the shadow of this reactionary abyss I find I'm dying In harmony to coronal storms in bloom theres nothing left that is so tangible

Tesseract 03:59
What's evident is nothing less that what berates me Each inch of time, scar of mine flip to the outside

Polyrhythm 05:02
Sentimental heartstring, do the metronome uptempo the meter shows don't take rhythm away from me backpedal your love like the undertow uptempo the meter shows resolution bring me health and life and love and I forsee... Pretty baby, hold steady, I'm out of my mind and in yours already wonderlust is something such that both your mind and soul can touch through the leaves and after hours deep inside the orchid flower pretty eyes and red romance so much to give so much to chance Shredded little red dress on another note up river the toxins go please dont take my downbeat away from me upstroke, downstroke to the beat you know on the 5 the meter shows polyrhythm love song deep inside and a part of me

This paradise a night easily broken you and I floating on the surface silt and broken limbs nimbly bob beside us will the vines take me away from you it lurks subtly and justly fawning making places under verdant awnings so take my hand while we float a while in the muck of this strange wilderness calm, baby, and be now this nothing is something of you and me the willows fall out while we sink in the soft warm deep this paradise the light so softly broken holding you underneath the ocean so sink and swim and falter with me hold me violent in the soft green calm, baby, and be now this nothing is something of you and me the willows fall out while we sink in the soft warm deep

The Name 04:51
In the dead of winter I sometimes wonder for the streams in the trees And though I've gone now I often find I've come back I can still feel the dirt in the lines of my hand consious and unwavering and fluent and fierce and the weight of its silence collecting captivating, dismissive oak and stone we feel To speak of the gods of men is to speak of men themselves strange to imagine and artist concerned only with a small corner of the page larger more terrible forces rumble here and the ether screams their names into forever irrational numbers and cacophony aumuse the oblique acute drones rattle off strings and Klein bottles like numbers themselves In the dead of winter I sometimes wonder for the streams in the trees And though I've gone now I often find I've come back Seldom compromised vacuum between the lines sacred parallel teardrops in a well Clay forms pots but on their hollowness their use depends but I don't care to speak about it

Walking backward through the leaves My breath is stale as it leaves me I want to watch the mountains grow Wished run out or run amok reluctant now to reconstruct centuries of flowers taught us honey doesn't spoil reluctant now to reconstruct gnashing tepid dervish signal fading wrap it up in tape and lies hide it from the shame that I wrought it from with you And I thought it through by candlelight scratched in ink on crumpled pages smudged in sweat on steaming stages fell apart in salt and lye wrap me up in tape and lies under canopy marooned I want to watch the mountains grow screaming arbor bloom I want to watch the mountains grow

History 04:33
My hair is made of straw My skin is made of leather My teeth are made of river rocks My eyes are orbs of weather My hands are made of spider webs My ribs are made of brass My lungs are made of moth cocoons My fingernails are glass What I am is what I've done What I've seen and who I've loved What I am is where I've been Where I've stopped and begun again My spine is made of ivy My lips are made of clay My legs are made of bamboo shoots My breath, the ocean's spray My strength is made of knowledge My weakness, ignorance My wisdom came from heartache My folly, from the same What I am is what I've done What I've seen and who I've loved What I am is where I've been Where I've stopped and begun again What I am is what I seem What I do and the the things that I dream What I am is what I'll be: Carbon, Water, and History. History.
