Mouth With No Lookalike
01:13
|
|
||
I took every(thing) in existence
And I made a mouth with no lookalike
You're the only person
You're the only person
You're the only person with a mouth that can't be copied down
I choked away with persistence
And became a cloud without solid form
No lore, no fable as good
Crush and thrust and press Record

Pulling On The Bow
01:58
|
|
||
Under all your clothes
You’re new to life
Pulling on the bow
Of any body sore in love
Leave the collar on
It has another job to do
Biting at the coat
Of any body bitten hard
A demon dispersed the score
For any whose heart is new
Like digging the thirsty skull
Of anybody home
Don't you see this is worth it
To be pulling on the bow
Of any body sore in love
Oh, no matter how many eyes will look to you
I will sing a note, closing their eyes afraid

They would knock
The same knock on the same door any time they came
If I spread my self under the frame
You could have one handful
But you have to chew it carefully
If you aren't careful it will climb back towards the peak
But not completely
You could have one handful
But you have to chew it carefully
If you aren't careful it will climb back towards the peak
But not completely
You can take the colors I will never see
I do not need them to complete me
You can suck the ginger from the spit from out my cheek
When you are nauseous
From the colors of the food in your routine
No matter how you choke me and immure me
You cannot prevent the devil

Lune-Days
03:19
|
|

Am I your Enough
I can't feel you anymore
Am I your Enough
I can't fill you anymore
Then and there I see so well
My daughter is in need
Narrow is my skull
And I mourn to believe
I'm the last included
In the acts of the town
Furious good health
Then and there I took of you your luck
And then your crutch
Raining out as much
Pure as water in as much
I have made under my inseam all there is to make
On Lune-Days I'll need it cut
(They've yet to curse-screw I)
I took my dinner to the teeth
(They've yet to curse-screw I)
Now rape the feathers from my skin
(They've yet to curse-screw I)
You carry a candle in a cruse
(They've yet to curse-screw I)
Is this so?
Hide beyond the court
Before I'm covered in his suit
Pulled by my bare leg
Into the middle of the moon
I and my antumbra
Could mean happiness for life
(Where is the health)
Reach for it now
Then and there I took to you the thing you never asked
Body with a long-standing crutch
I have laid in your place such a beneficial egg
Watch and hatch
Am I your Enough
I can't feel you anymore
Am I your Enough
I can’t fill you anymore

Lax Soft Sleep
00:55
|
|
||
Sing so loud I can't hear my blood when flung
Build an awesome story that I can't steal back
Losing worth, I can't get enough of you
I need the singing voice in a life gone hoarse
Now there is no cute-guy half
Now there is no cue, no key, no kiss
There is only lax soft sleep

No Seeds
01:26
|
|
||
Good, no seeds
Good, no seeds
There'll be no more after you
There'll be no more after you
I will eat the last of all
Good, no seeds
Good, no seeds
Good, no seeds
There'll be no more after you
There'll be no more after you
You're through

Black Honey
01:18
|
|
||
I’m not gone, I’m not gone
No, it must not be forced out
(Hell remits with every stroke they take)
And they see I’m not gone
Blam!
They’ll decry not one of your guilts
Sperm of a precious stone
Pond of an only son
So how does a body grow up to blam
Blam!

I warned you
Every day is to say what you caught
I warned you
Every day is the same
I am gaunt but attractive
Ill but alive
I want you in my open eyes
I want you
I want you to know how long I have wanted you
I need you close
I need you closer than you are
How long now till I die in the dark
With a choke and a gag like a dog

The Dissolving Path

Lives my life force
For the event
(Now this is the time for laughter)
Resentful panacea
(Now this is the time for loving)
Resentful panacea
(Now this is the time for life)
Resentful panacea
[?]
And I cry overlooking
And I spray on the wake
And I cry overlooking
And I spray on the wake
You can't see me
Aren’t you glad?
Down come the lights
In come the flies
Please, please, please
A love that grows
One kiss, if they can
(Their love is ever sweet after you go)
I will not be taken out
(Though I may...)

Now A Creature
01:36

Give birth a flame
(And burn up)
They have creatured me
Spun from poles of sound skin-tight
They have creatured me
Do tell to the towns I’d like
How they have provided me
The only confection
To fit through my halter so far
Feel well
Alive in the root
Dream, wet well
Dream, chlorophyll
Mmm
Mmm
Mmm
Mmm
I should not be as trusting
I should not be as twisty
I will not be his cheek

Too late, now
(They can't know)
Too late, now
(They can't know)
Too late, now
(They can't know)
Too late, now
(They can't know)
Too late, ah
(Not a clue)
Too late, ah
Too late, ah
Sing!
What a life found here
No life is as long
When you live for the song being sung
But you are beautiful
Am I at all responsible
For any time it resonates inside?
(Why did it go so soon?)
What can't you do?
Who can't you redeem
From the deity's steam
And a teacher who will guard
What you dream and you think
Publicly and privately
(You will sink and never speak)
I will sing and never sink
(You will sink and never speak)
I will sing and never sink
I will sing and never sink
I will sing and never sink
I will sing and never sink
