Take You
04:10
|
|||
Half that tree is faded
I'm the hunter and the fowl
I'd never settle for silence
I recoil even now
If my thread ran easy
It would not take my weight
I've been writing more
I wade amongst my solitudes
I hope to take you
I poise upon the lawn
my ancient eye watchful
I see him glowing smile
rise hungry from a perfect while
My greed took from me
the pool and the lake
I fear what I may miss
and thus have never stayed
If my thread ran easy
It would not take my weight
I've been writing more
I wade amongst my solitudes
I hope to take you

Human Heart
03:58
|
|||
I wish I was clean for you
but I'll be honest instead
while every guilt complex that leaves me vexed
stressed
but no better for the weight of it's duress
and I'll forgive you everything
I'll forgive you everything
I've got a human heart
you've got a human heart
I've got a human heart
you've got a human heart
and my love is blind
and wild
rolling like a tide
opens like a bride
knows no better like a child
I've got a human heart
got a human heart
you've got a human heart
I've got a human heart
and I swear I've tried
to arrest my human side
but I've got a human heart
I'll forgive you everything
I'll forgive me everything
I've got a human heart
I've got a human heart

Mother
03:40
|
|||
In that field
tab down
when the crop became me
standing to attention
all the hair on my skin
goosebumped
with the wind
washing over
and I realised our connection
how every seed and I
share at the moment of conception
the will of time
to express itself
a levied request
a vote from another
that sometimes
the hope outweighs the death
and what's hard to get my head around
is not that it's my mother
but that mother on her most human of days
was two mothers at once
and my mother is the one
who ultimately
infinitely wont stay
what's funny is that later on when you asked me why I'm crying
all I could say was 'I love my mum'
you laughed and said 'Oh, baby'
and took pleasure in reminding me
that like a Russian Doll
scientific findings show every daughter
even in the womb
has all the eggs she ever will
so like my mother
in her mother
with the will of mother in her
and I nestled both inside
the will of mother is in me
God knows
if I'll ever sew my time
and what's hard to get my head around
is not that it's my mother
but that mother in her most human of ways
is two mothers at once
and my mother is the one
who ultimately
infinitely wont stay

Man
04:54
|
|||
Not another fly
rubbings its hands
looking me down
and up again
a walk in mind
a pale sign
the thought sublime
does move aside
my easiness
toll of virtues weight
scalping of geography
Helen keeps on moving me to tears
she tells me all my sins
as if she really knows me
I simply can't receive the love I fear
she dare not return
and thus recedes the love I fear
It's not as if I dose up everyday
on filth in magazines
and feast upon
heaven's daughters
nor beat elders to death
I serve him
yes
but must I forego every mile
'til truly I am weightless?
I'm leading my hand
it's time this world needs a Man
"I know it is this moment in which I will alight"
I saw myself die
fearful on the bed that night
to each of us it comes
"precisely in this moment I will die"
and now he has my pen
and wont be fenced in
we spin the earth beneath our feet
but must its weight pursue me?
I just want travelling
Beatrice looks me curious
like a cow
who I project
my dog checked me out
before the waggening
no one shakes like me
as if I am discrete
who are you fashioning?
Jesus keeps on
doesn't he?
I'm leading my hand
it's time this world needs a Man
"I know it is this moment in which I will alight"
I saw myself die
fearful on the bed that night
to each of us it comes
"precisely in this moment...
I'm leading my hand
it's time this world needs a Man
I know it is this moment in which I will alight
I saw myself die
fearful on the bed that night
to each of us it comes
precisely in this moment I will die"
Precisely in this moment
It cant just be me
the middle man where existence meets
the forefront on a trampoline
I lose the flow as if I
dose up everyday
on alcohol
I serve him
yes
but must I forego everything
before truly I'm weightless?
I'm leading my hand
it's time this world needs a Man
"I know it is this moment in which I will alight"
I saw myself die
fearful on the bed that night
to each of us it comes
"precisely in this moment I will die
I'm leading my hand
it's time this world needs a Man
"I know it is this moment in which I will alight"
I saw myself die
fearful on the bed that night
to each of us it comes
"precisely in this moment I will die"

Flies
04:43
|
|||
I did not want the flies to gather
but they do
I'd rather be yours forever
but I know my limits
if I could put a ring around
it would not hold it
what a taste to develop
it's almost binary
I am a heaviness
I feel you pour down through me
and the path is a magnet
now I think I step outside it
and I know you hear my song
I know you hear my song
is there a world without it?
my fear contagious
my history led me to it
now I think I step outside it

Prison of Words
06:08
|
|||
All my scrabble for meaning
has fallen by the way
if it wasn't for my dreaming
I think perhaps I'd stay
I found the silence singing
I filled her heart with mine
if it wasn't for the silence
perhaps I would not cry
All my scrabble for meaning
has fallen by the way
it's the lines that I cannot control
and rhymes words can't contain
if it wasn't for my dreaming
I think perhaps I'd stay
I'm selfless with your truth
and desperate to convey
that words have ceased to hold
the weight we've asked them to
the storm inside your gesture
the flood beside your breath
where I have ceased to comprehend
begins the Holy rest
and love is not emotion
but the heart between two breasts
and the spell that words would try and weave
is inadequate at best
where the journey asks of me define
and with your words arrest
Holy, Holy, Holy, Holy, Holy unexpressed
Holy, Holy, Holy, Holy, Holy unexpressed
where the demon's fangs are question marks
and his mane conceals the depths
the prison of words cannot contain
though poets do their best
the prison of words cannot contain
though poets do their best
[our love is bruised and broken
we took to it with knives
but the prison of words is paling
with every sweep of its lights
and thus I projected everything
gave ego to a cup
the prison of words cannot contain
beyond language it is us
Holy, Holy, Holy, Holy, wholly unexpressed
where the demon's fangs are question marks
and his mane conceals the depths
the prison of words cannot contain
though poets do their best
the prison of words cannot contain
though poets do their best]

Sleepless With You
02:59
|
|||
These words
patterns you plant in the soil
little hooks
fill books
you're hoping they'll pull you up
catkin on conifer
I wear you proud as a year in spring
longing with the swoop of hawks
bringing hunger to the game
the song is unchanged
back in my armour glazed
my head's in barricades
I find it easier to dream the day
following a night spent sleepless with you
all the words connect me through
I was yesterday and yesterday dropped me in you
left hook
round the brook
relatively honest
if only for a crook
creaking on your porch
even the mattress applauds
lets blacken our hull once more
while my hearts intact
love is the fact
back in my armour glazed
my head's in barricades
I find it easier to dream the day
following a night spent sleepless with you
I do not know
my way back
while my heart's
still intact
love is the fact

What Else Can I Do?
04:00
|
|||
When I am with you I will love you
but I've seen how words don't hold a heart
so lover, call me lover
but only for today
When I am with you I will choose you
above all the other Worlds
when you are near me
you need not fear me
running to any other girl
but how can I say love forever?
how can I say free, for you?
when I've seen how words don't hold a heart
what else can I do?
When I am with you
you may take me
you will have my soul
but how can history keep a moment
from expressing its own?
how can I say love forever?
how can I say free, for you?
when I've seen words don't hold a heart
what else can I do?

Revolver
04:24
|
|||
The crocuses swept me off my feet
reeks of burgamot
I walk behind my baby's got a new walk
I'm hung on the palette sky
coiled round my cryptonite
I keep the space I take
to be there when I slip away
Darling wont you hold me down
keep my feet on solid ground
the World beneath
revolving
Ice of the embankment
keep me steady on my feet
so I can keep revolving
to a point
then I'd like to alight
Nothing that I do's for fun
there isn't much I haven't won
I found the space to wear
her body on my mattress
my cotton eyes still cannonise
the holy ghost of telling lies
I count my gratitudes
when I sleeping next to you
there isn't much I haven't known
in my time God's only son
the World beneath
revolving
ice of the embankment
keep me steady on my feet
so I can keep
revolving
to a point
then I'd like to alight
All to just feel the kiss
and see that bliss is bating bliss
but now I want to feel it
Oh, to be your only son
but feel the weight of everyone
Ice of the embankment
keep me steady on my feet
so I can keep
revolving
to a point
then I'd like to alight

Eucharist
03:46
|
|||
Only a ghost tries to hold the glimmer
I thought I saw it once and I was never there
when I get here
like, really get here
an Angel settles in my chair
Peace, foreign peace
swimming like a swan
I thought I was a renegade
now I'm here wishing I would stray
Angel settle in my place like a life
but in doses I try to live
I never wanted to be closed off to any of this
I could not stomach it
I could not stomach it
when I was someone elses
Eucharist
Divine
We're the edge of islands
only a ghost holds the glimmer
I was thinking on your piece
when we got back from dinner
just a little closer my parasite
I have no excuses now
you and me
tonight
the single instance in which I see myself
I know I am the middle man
I don't know about you but I'm coming on strong
I'm coming just like a man divine
but in doses I try to live
I never wanted to be closed off to any of this
I could not stomach it
I could not stomach it
when I am someone elses
Eucharist
Divine
