breathing stone (clean)
06:43
|
|||
|
I feel like I’m hooked up to life support
with the great pyramid above me
my friends are spread all over the world
but none of them love me
I leer you down the rabbit hole
and tell you why you made a mistake
I’ll offer you all the world
and remind you why it was never yours to take
The devil tries to take me away
and tells me I’m lying when I try to stay
pours the sun through my window
whilst whispering about the rain
Lord I am bored of being a horse on your carousel
the dark keeps creeping when I am sleeping
dragging me back down the well
sure I know nothing lasts
and even this will pass
But all your breathing is stone
and stolen from someone
and your hearts a gun
and you’re the only one
I’m the chain aimed at your mast
the dripping down your hour glass
the worm that’s gnawing through the beam
the drive to dive into the sea
the kiss on the lips of everyone
the glitter of another sun
your inert pacifist passivity
the other thing you cannot repeat
the chewing on the bone
not picking up the phone
you’re right that’s it let’s go
let’s go I said let’s go

Two Magpies

At my most humble I do labour
at my highest I'm a clown
I'm the bird that turned around the shot
was heard for miles around
in the garden Chris is smoking
Chris is smoking doing laps
the fat pigeon on the branch
is siding up to his romance
I need a little space
just have to tidy this away
I could have driven but I walked
and so I ran a little late
theres a bucket in my garden
that is waiting for the earth
its ironic how the filth can cleanse
my heart of all the dirt
you will find me
digging like a crow through the air
or like a mole through the ground
swearing on my life in my liar's chair
convincing myself
I fucked you like a champion
and myself a little too
its unsettling how thin the lines between us
I've been thinking about construction
what we build to keep us in
if chaos is the devil
then where does the god begin
or if structure is our saviour
to keep us safe from all the dark
then why did god hide
freedom in our hearts
I get a little confused
I'd never want to hurt you
I expect I'd really have to push the limits now
and we are bruised
because we cling to what the other had to do
you will find me
digging like a crow through the air
or like a mole through the ground
swearing on my life in my liar's chair
convincing myself
thats an effergy to vishnu
though he's missing half his arms
from a certain perspective
my heart is bent
how long can you hold your reflection in the glass?
Jim said at the end that is all they ask
you will find me
digging like a crow through the air
or like a mole through the ground
swearing on my life in my liar's chair
convincing myself
swimming through the air like a crow in the ground
swimming through the air like a crow in the ground
swimming through the air like a crow in the ground
swimming through the air like a crow in the ground
two magpies what does that mean?

The Brief Affair

Oh to be a fly on the wall in that room
I'd beg me to turn around
what we're doing is meant for lovers
you're at the bottom of every drink
in every breath I take
you're the thing that I can't wash away
and now you're playing my guitar
moving my hands
you're the flaw in all my plans
you tell me to sing
you tell me shut up
you empty the clouds
you fill up my cup
and the rain is perfect piss
oh to be a fly on the wall in that room
I'd beg me to turn around
what we're doing is meant for lovers
there's no forgetting you know
no erasing the climax
no undoing the high
no getting you out
oh to be a fly on the wall in that room
I'd beg me to turn around
what we're doing is meant for lovers

Bigger Than The Devil
04:18

I thought I could dive in and breathe
Get you branded for a week
Fill up at the feast
And be released
From the need
To ever eat again
I thought our fire would keep me warm
A memory with all the heat of sun
The way we rub two sticks
And hope a spark sticks
And hope a spark sticks
Over and over and over and over and over
And over and over and over and over and over
And over and over
Over and over and over and over and over
And over and over and over and over and over
And over and over
But I’m bigger than the devil
Which sings my song
Bigger than the devil
Which won’t let me run
And I’m bigger than the devil
Which beats my drum
And I’m bigger than the devil
I thought I could dive in and breathe
Get you branded for a week
Fill up at the feast
And be released
From the need
To ever feed again
I thought our fire would keep me warm
A memory with all the heat of sun
The way we rub two sticks
And hope a spark sticks
And hope a spark sticks
Over and over and over and over and over
And over and over and over and over and over
And over and over
Over and over and over and over and over
And over and over and over and over and over
And over and over
But I’m bigger than the devil
Which sings my song
Bigger than the devil
Which won’t let me run
And I’m bigger than the devil
Which beats my drum
And I’m bigger than the devil

Meant for love
All these disclaimers
and solstice parties
rambling
signal the keeper
tell him its over
reaching
your tangent is failing
come back to the source
get yourself back on the horse
relative angel
calculous eye
I wade like a crane
and I'm loving you more
I'm jealous
I'm letting you run
yourself dry
there's nothing in here
there's nothing in here

Bruises

My what a desperate place to reach
you scared to put the pen down like it bruises
you said it fine
how autumn sings in leaves what summer couldn't take
with her to the spring
Oh no, you're late
for another thing you couldn't wait for
You sigh as you survey the clouded sky
tracing constellations the chroniclers forget with time
you smile when you sympathise
like you were relegated from the heavens
astrology is lost on me
but you like how it gives you an excuse
to talk about your feelings
Oh no, you're late
for another thing you couldn't wait for
I've never been too keen on shedding
my metamorphosis is begging
lullabies I fear I'm a little old for
lullabies the kind you'd sell your soul for
trust in my intuition
most the time comes to fruition
I just need my souls nutrition
hate to feel this soul attrition
forget the bruises and we'll run
time is money come on let's run
forget the bruises come on let's run
oh you're late for another thing you couldn't wait for

Honest Guy

I like to think I'm an honest guy
more than prepared to swallow my pride
didn't ask where you stayed
so when you sat me down back at our place
and took both my hands
I knew what was coming
you said Baby, it was my turn to fall
baby, I swear it meant nothing at all
oooh
I like to think I'm an honest guy
more than prepared to swallow my pride
wasn't thinking straight
so when I sat you down back at our place
and took both your hands
you knew what was coming
I said Baby, it is my turn to fall
baby, if you swear it meant nothing at all
baby, it is my turn to fall
baby, if you swear it meant nothing
you swear it meant nothing
oooh
there's something about you coming back
and that look in your eye
says baby I've tested
others have tried
but its you
but its you
but its you
but its you
you said Baby, it was my turn to fall
baby, I swear it meant nothing at all
baby, it is my turn to fall
baby, if you swear it meant nothing
you swear it meant nothing
