Long Live
04:12

Save some daylight son – a darkness is gonna come. Daughter gather water – a desert’s spreading over. Every sweet seed you’ve sewn. Every good thing you’ve grown. Every last light you’ve known. Shadow swallows up soon.
Long live you’re living on.
Long live your living on.
Long live you’re living on.

Rain Parade

Rain on, oh rain on my parade
End-on-end living on borrowed time
Oh, I doubt that anybody knows
If anyone tells you that enmity claims you
My oh my…
Reeling forth with a knee-jerk feeling
With a straw man for the other moment
Yet the regent’s meaning is a one-way reason
For the call here is implement, ignore
Out to be someone who claims they’ve seen it all
Back with an earful tune in to that one-way reason
Still at least you think you know because you’re loyal
Well it’s not so easy to just always go pick sides
Still at least you think you know yet wonder why?
Wonder why it isn’t
Wonder why and try it
Wonder why?

Screens

Stand right there so we can get all of this so well framed but too fucked up to focus, snap a shot when the clock strikes twelve everyone will take a picture of themselves. A face awash in so much blue light look at you looking down somehow despite checking screens pressing keys hard to believe you still missed the message waiting to be received. Living for a witness, but what good is now without some…(presence)?

No Rojos

So revealing I can tell by your eyes
So revealing how words are wise
So revealing so many ways to die I can’t tell you why
By denying those we don’t know
So revealing so many ways to die
I can tell by your eyes by denying
No estoy un rojo
El vino en los calles
The bodies run cold
By denying all relations
They could tell you why
By denying those who remain
Slowly forgetting the memory maybe
Is all-demanding silence
Slowly is only a promise remaining
To please bury me there
Beside the vine

Age of Reason
03:50
|

To sink within the sinking in. Push the feet across concrete. Every path already paved, no new way to no new ways. But keep moving, some comfort’s found in at least not losing ground. What keeps you up, what let’s you sleep? Pay the debts and grind the teeth.
Each body a chance to reach every branch a chance to climb. Fell the tree to count the rings. What's the sum of what's missing?
Once to wonder, now to want
whatever it is.
To act as though you are a child.
To live as if you never were.

Waves

I found out myself lying
Staring at the sky the end is worth full-denying
Keep right on riding leaving reason behind
I found out myself in times when we’re born to run
Shook the eyes and went oh simpático
And everybody wonders how soul-defining
Lifts into the waves
Pulling out the plug I knew it was time to roll
Shut the eyes and went quietly in
Make a wish and whisper start with hold on
Alright
Then attack take a thoughtful tact
And make it right back to the border-line
Are they mine? Are they mine or are they yours?
If they’re mine well how will I know? You say how will I know?
Reach back hold fast go down keep that and
Quite honestly it’s all awe it’s all love
Slow down goodbye

An Aggregate
02:42
|

And it’s already focused on the obscene outside
Holding on to the heat outright handing off to a debt-bound man rolling over on it
Now it’s out on the mat made the feat alright over and over, polite
Take it all yet leave it honored
Step forth the fool reloaded
Yet he’s already focused on it and won’t slow down
On second thought more leverage goes the theory
On and on relate the story one more time for the biased jury
With no time left liquidate, shut up, and focus
Forthright, measured responsive impulse
An aggregate difficult to derive
Let alone QED (quod erat demonstrandum) it.

Wire Walk
03:56
|
|||
Wire walk between two towers, does not balance become power? There’s a strength in simply sensing which way your weight is now shifting in the galaxy’s slow twirl, in the spinning, tilted world, among the drunken, reeling masses, how will you somehow hold yourself still now, don’t move, let your lungs fill until you sense some sense balanced. Don’t forget each step is just a bet against the next
Step to the line left as a warning
Step passed the line into the waiting
Sky
Walk across the vast and empty space invites the careful body to transverse and to fulfill no prophecy provides the will to stay still now don’t move let your lungs fill until you sense some sense balanced. Please don’t forget each step is just a bet against the next
Step to the line left as a warning
Step passed the line into the waiting
Step to the line left as a warning
Step passed the line into the morning
