1.In Her Gentle Jaws
2.Sky Ghosts
through war-hollowed buildings and forests of trash,
the tar-thickened waters and wastelands of ash,
now freed of flesh, speeding through the clouds,
the kiss-chase starts as our bones break down,
a nuclear sunset sounds;
the hole where life, for us, was drowned
through cavernous ice floes
and mountains of shale,
the daisy-swept meadows
and oceans so pale.
we'll meet on the iceblink,
some secrets we'll share,
while prismatic light-beams
add color to air.
leave inhibitions there,
the godless skies left unaware...
radiation filled the space where
angels ought to be.
with a disaffected smile she turned
and said to me (this is forever)
whatever cloud you're on i will find you,
i will find you
in time.
3.Darklooming
you could be my cloud
you could follow me around
and you'd promise me the shadows
because the sun is not allowed
you could be my cloud
looming over me, so proud
and you'd keep me from my sleeping
because the thunder is so loud
you're raining on everything
stop ruining everything
and i wish you didn't need me so much, baby
you could be my cloud
you could bring me to the ground
and you'd knock down all the houses
that were built since you left town
you could be my cloud
another bad night on the town
that's assuming, the dark is looming
let the misery enshroud me
you're raining on everything
stop ruining everything
and i wish you didn't need me so much, baby
and i wish you didnt need me so much, baby
and i wish you didn't need me so much
have you cast away the things that once adored you?
have you cast away the things that once adored you?
(so i'll see you around)
4.Butterfly Kisses
fade till you see through me
but i won't leave so soon
for whom do i still linger?
it is you
it is you
and i have never known such bliss
as a hand swept down accross my wrist
or an eyelash brushed accross my face
it's like everything's in place
fade till you see through me
but i won't leave so soon
who do i still sing for?
it is you
it is you
fade till you see through me
i'm a cold translucent blue
but it's warm when you stand near me
oh, it's true
yes, it's true
and i have never known such bliss
as a hand swept down accross my wrist
or an eyelash brushed accross my face
it's like everything's in place
oh it's you
yes it's true
5.Digital Solace
live, love, fall apart
fill the gaps with things we want
drink, run, waste away
the plastic sea accumulates
and no one knows, where hours go
(out ins and outs of speaker holes)
trapped behind the glass
and no one knows, where hours go
(out ins and outs of speaker holes)
digital solace
wolf eye glows at night
bathes me in the pale blue light
and lacerates with saw tooth noise
console; console; a soothing voice
and no one knows, where hours go
(out ins and outs of speaker holes)
trapped behind the glass
and no one knows, where hours go
(out ins and outs of speaker holes)
digital Solace
and no one knows, where hours go
(out ins and outs of speaker holes)
trapped behind the glass
and no one knows, where hours go
(out ins and outs of speaker holes)
digital solace
6.A Room, A Canvas
on morning one when sunlight spoke
In an unfamiliar place i woke
my arms and limbs, all lines so faint
crudely sketched in paint
red, blood red, wall overhead
a work of art, the lover's bed
his pictures hung; the splattered marks
Then the curator, she starts...
'oh him? he was sweet.
now he's layers underneath.
our ink is forever.'
she lied through her teeth.
painted over
love it grew from a simple crush
the colors saturate the brush
blue for honor, gold for truth
the artist's final touch
time, gray time, it warped the shapes
The canvas frayed and the work replaced
painted over, now all i see is
an envious shade of green
and now she hears me,
layers underneath,
from cracks in the paint;
a voice while she sleeps
painted over
7.Parasol Parachute

(there's love in our sails tonight)
this is our love
oh, it's everywhere
8.Water Window
9.Nautilus
breathe,
into the white,
nautilus you are free,
flesh, you are night.
return,
ashes to sea,
pill diffuses; the urn
now salt you are he
wave,
newfoundland shore,
from the foam to horizon,
all this is yours
water,
by every degree,
now the aqueous age,
in time you will see...
...you are the sea
10.Heavy Eyes
talk, talk
it's weight on these eyes
kiss-pulse with glow
sleep, sleep
expire where we lie
the sun will let us know
wait, wait
on the ledge of my dream
in the frost-slow of time
dusk, dusk,
will beckon for us
to lapse from the night
but all our chemicals are at rest now
and the lights are sleeping too...
