Holding Still
03:35
|
|||
I could feel you leaving
I could feel me leaving too
Now it's oh so quiet
Now it's oh so quiet
I can almost hear you breath
I'm holding still
But i'm holding still
I could feel the earth moving
I could feel you moving through a crowd
You're lost in a crowd
You're on edges
But I'm holding still
I'm holding still
But I'm holding still
And when you break
I'm breaking with you
I'm holding still
I'm holding still
I'm holding still
You're lost in crowd
I'm holding still

Yellowhead

Will you materialise
Before me today
Hours seem like lifetimes
My blood feels thin
Maybe you can fill me
To my core
So I no longer
Feel this crevasse
Between breastbone
And vertebrae
How could I go on
For so long
Without touching my truth
Maybe you can fill me
To my core
So I no longer
feel this crevasse
Between breastbone and vertebrae

The Drowning Song
03:06
|
|||
Hold me down here underwater
Hold me down here
I breathe more freely here underwater
I breathe more freely here
This ship is casting an anchor he said
Her waters are safer, calmer
I thought we both were hooked, line and sinking
Hooked, line and sinking
Hooked, line
And sinking
And sinking

Cut
03:19

When the sun comes
The moon goes
When the moon goes
The sun comes
Sometimes cutting
Circulation
Sometimes my words
Too thin for purpose
To contain this
Would turn
To poison
When the sun comes
The moon goes
When the moon goes
The sun comes
The grit
The teeth
Denture
When the sun comes
The moon goes
When the moon goes
The sun comes
I feel it I feel I feel it all
I feel it all
I feel it all
To contain this would turn to poison

Coma
02:55
|
|||
Me and my magical existence
You and your love intertwined
In the threads of my hair
In the needles of porcupine
My sweetest apple pie
iIm all dumplings and fat
With ecstasy and you in my belly
I swim and never tire
Coma has my lovers heart
Coma had him right from the start
I'm a present of god
Undo me someone
I'm all strings and barbed wire
Undo me someone
Coma has my lovers heart
Coma had him right from the start
Has anyone seen my love
Has anyone seen my heart
Has anyone seen him

Tightness
06:08
|

He hush me down
He blow my brow
Silence gathers ‘round
Hush now hush now
Just hold tighter
He hush me down
He blow my brow
Silence gathers ‘round
I've always been
A child who beguiles you
I spin a tale about you
I spin a tale about you
To you I do bind
And hell can't find us here
Your freckled skin
I know what constellation you're in boy
I know what constellation you're in
To you I do bind
And hell can't find us here
Your eyes are blue
You've got blue eyes
You've got green hair
You've got blue eyes
I see god there
Oh I see god there
In your tightness
I am found
In your tightness
I am bound
In your tightness
I am found
In your tightness
I am bound

Oxygen Boy

Oxygen boy
Oxygen boy
Tanked and on my back
You ride
Your mouth
Gets me high
Free basing ethers again
Tripping over her love strings
Every cell feels love
I'm breathing again
I'm pulsing again
Comes on like like smacking your mouth again mine
Hard core
Pornographic
In your movements
Oxygen boy
Oxygen boy

Marmalade
01:24
|
|||
Come take some life out of me
I need to wear down
I'm strung out on a clothes line
Hung up on you
I'm hung up and slightly misconstrued
I'm washing and wearing
Torn at my seams
I need to get my body close to you
Maybe like a favourite shirt
Come wear me thin
Wear my bones to breaking
I'm constantly in sin
Constantly
Sometimes too much
I feel too much
Some times too little
I feel small and equal
But today in my unhemmed dress
Will you notice
The creases where your body lay
And a little stain of marmalade

The Wait
01:31
|
|||
Can't wait to see you
I can't wait
Can't wait to see you
I can't wait
But you got your new love
I know this now
You got your new love
I know this now
I'm going out of my fuckin' brain
Waiting for you
I'm going out of my fuckin' brain
Waiting for you
'Cause you got your new love
And I've got mine
Yes you've got your new love
And yes i've got mine
Such sad fucking
When you know you're losing
For a taste of love
For a taste of love

Deeper Things
05:56
|
|||
Caught out
I'm caught red handed
Bloodied fingernails
They're at my neck again
Lover kill this fear in me
I fear there's no-one hear but me
An angel cuts her wing
To bring on deeper things
An angel cuts her wing
To bring on deeper things
Traffic breathes
Like a demented lover
And i'm running still
I fear i am the hunted
I hear the sirens
And i wonder if it's me who has died
An angel cuts her wing
To bring on deeper things
An angel cuts her wing
To bring on deeper things

10 Smiles
03:25
|
|||
Everything broken
Glued to your big marching shoes
My heart
Ballooning
Somewhere safer
Maybe sunstroked
Maybe love chocked
Teething pains
Knock me down again
Now I am ten
Now I am ten smiles
Now I am ten smiles from happiness
Fly blown and swollen
We've left it for too long now
We're still avoiding what could be god send
Now I am ten
Now I am ten smiles
Now I am ten smiles from happiness
