Feverdream 04:56
Purple eggs on my legs Stars in my mind As I’m beating off to the world Cloudy eyes, clear skies You asked me twice But all I could hear was the pearl Fingers slip from my wrist A coma catalyst Catapult from my skin Faces shifting as swiftly As a cargo train Passing under my chin And I’m keeping all my teeth in my mouth I am drowning in the water in which mystics can swim you are frowning cause I told you that I wouldn’t jump in When I split Come and get All of my body bits From my lips to my toes I’ll kick it You can get All of my body bits I won’t mind, I won’t know You can keep all of my teeth in your mouth I won’t mind it if you keep all of my teeth in your mouth You may find it nice to bite your lip with bits of my mouth I’ll be dreaming of you dreaming me inside of your house Haunt you haunting all the places that we used to hang out I will see you sleeping on the floor Stuffing all your pockets at the store Staring through the fisheye in the door Always wanting more I never wanted to know all of the pieces Of the human condition But they left me one by one…

Chicory Key 02:23
Let me tell you honey, your locks aren’t safe You may have a secret garden, with stony walls like mountains, Slippery with moss and rotting ivy Your slats may be so narrow only moonlight can creep in To spot the floors and paint the corners gloomy But I’ve a leaf of chicory that opens more than locks Lance-shaped leaves will often loosen heart-strings Mine have long been humming, deep vibrations that set beetles buzzing Your have long been brittle; some have broken all together So I’ve crept through your defenses Lovely man, come to your senses I’ve a leaf of chicory Gathered on St. James’ Day Carefully and cleverly, I’ll hold it to the keyhole…

This face, I used to understand The skin, so thin, the arrangement so planned It slips from me now like a castle of sand Erased, this face by invisible hands What once was pride has lost its claim What once was known has lost its name It shifts like a serpent, it’s never the same Though I grasp at the remnants, no resemblance remains Been lost so long, hanging on by a strand Becoming a mirror, reflecting the land I’m wrapped in its cloak, I’m marked by it’s brand Inexplicably changed by invisible hands

Ivo'vii 04:40
Every fourth of July In the dark We go down, down, down Down to the train and Wait for it to come along So that we can throw bombs Full of paint at the cars And scream And set the tracks on fire
