amber overgrowth
amber embryo glow
her scent is on me now / my senses draw me out
I have no choice to fight / and no wrongs to right
amber show me home
make the mirrors windows
her scent is on me now / her senses draw me out
there is no place to hide / and no wrong

Watcher

weren’t you on your knees?
weren’t you closing / a broken seam?
I held my peace / far too long
weren’t you on your knees?
I saw
who could deny you / a trembling hand?
the promised land / wilted in our palms
closing / I saw

Haruspex
05:19
|
|||
always on my mind: ‘is my body right?’
a pound of flesh / a dime for the haruspex
harder / everyone wants their hard-earned break
hunger / everyone wants their future saved
is my body right? / thinking through my lines
a pound of flesh / a grid, a test (a web)
harder / everyone wants their hard-earned break
hunger / everyone wants their love song played

Return to sender
03:21
|
|||
see it? break it out / what’s in heaven’s jaws…
more than fantasy, oh
no lack / no debt / no need / unmet
in between / we run / our mouths / with hounds
when you write, blue thumbs stain your return address
so I’ll just let my answers get sent back
there
no debt / no lack
if only writing made it so…
no lack / no debt / no need / unmet
in between / we run / our mouths / with hounds
when you write, blue thumbs stain your return address
so I’ll just let my answers get sent back
there
no debt / no lack
wish that writing made it so…

Tire iron
03:49
|
|||
caught outnumbered, this time
i won’t go so easy though
glistening tire iron
he pulls me in, so i’ll show him
opal earth, mm
midnight murmur, mm
leaves of bone / hunger
taxidermy of better times
we drag them out, nail them down
glistening tire iron
i won’t let go so easy, no
opal trail, mm
midnight flailing, mm
seeds of hell / sprouted
leaves of bone / silken

Daydrinker

|

sunrise envied some light in you
went out / hunting blank rounds / the chemical traces
bleed in your eyes / and name every nameless need
and fear / a far away focus
sunrise envied some light in you
went out / hunted blank rounds / the chemical traces
come back with care / and brush out my carelessness
(and tears) here / I’ll show you my focus

Tied (ft. MIZU)
04:15
|

draw this out:
a bad dream you face with a sewn-up mouth
when you see me as a child
god knows i wish you could turn back time
hold me in all that i was, all i revise now
wash that down / late at night
bumping limbs / weaving home
through man-made woods that seed in fire
don’t go / you’re all that i know
you don’t waste time avoiding pain
you keep dashing out and back to hold me in my place
with blistered hands

Still
05:13
|
|||
nothing’s wrong / we deserve what we desire
you deserve my trying
plush white rabbit / cut the seams
wanna see something / out of reach
nothing’s wrong / i’ll become what i disguise
you deserve my trying
plush white lining / cut it clean
wanna see something / out of reach
~~~~~~
you’re still beside me, beaming in film
watching the needles scatter in the hills
you’re right here beside me, beaming and still
watching the needles flicker in the hills
backtrack (you’re still beside me)
hit the meaning (rapt in a film)
and take control (watching the needles)
f- (flicker in the hills)
raised at an empty table, a backlit door
still / in the blue moon on the floor
you’re looking good now, double crossing every line
still / in the blue light of my mind

Mercury
04:08
|
|||
on and on / you fell so long, / so loud…
clarity will never come
raise up a glass to the sun / white and opaque
purity will never come
you raise up a glass to the sun / and fracture the rays -
nobody’s back there / trapping you there
memory’s long stare / emptying
mercury wades in the dusk
mercury raises the blood / under the waves
clarity will never come
caught in a drunk hit and run / caught in a daze -
mercury’s crosshairs / crossing you there
memory’s long stare / emptying

blight / along this road
here in your time / as in ours
blight / beneath this sign
remains in your time / as in ours
stop
