Diviner

[rev. Apr. 30, 2017]

High, after the summer
Find all the wells are drunk dry
Miles and miles of star burn
Branded on the hide of the night

Diviner
Diviner
Diviner
Diviner

Low, before the winter
Loser, these vessels are full
Drop between drop of moonshine
Slipping on the surface of our day

Diviner (Water underground)
Diviner (Rock ceiling fossil pool)
Diviner (Blind transparent fish)
Diviner (Seek the liquid dark)

Hermaphrodite

[rev. May 28, 2015]

Goddess say there's no use in calling
The past is over and the dark are falling
Hold me closer than you did today
See all misunderstandings evaporate away

If you knew how I tried so deep inside
There's just one and I give us to you
If you think that's no good then you should disappear fast
What else can you do?

There's a valley in the back of her mind
Where all of the elements were treating her kind
She lay right back on her forgiving earth
It was something quite unusual, she was giving birth

If you knew how I tried so deep inside
There's just one and I give us to you
If you think that's no good then you should disappear fast
What else can you do?

They stole a cradle from the open door
The crowd becoming uglier, they were calling out for more
Oh goddess don't let them see how I am
I hope that Jehovah got my telegram

If you knew how I tried so deep inside
There's just one, I give us to you
If you think that's no good then you should disappear fast
What else can you do?

 

Ethereal Message

[rev. Aug. 12, 2018]

Cold man is rich in luxurious heat
White empty car at the end of the street
Five thousand angels hang from their strings
Drinking their bourbons and grooming their wings
And they all rose up and flew
This ethereal message down here to you

A face at the window of the house where you live
Tells me it's empty, not who you've been with
Five thousand soldiers captured the town
Bringing their dead back from the ground
And every one of them knew
This ethereal message was meant for you

Down, down, feathers in the air
Down, down, down everywhere

Blessed generations range through the flames
And by the smoke forgetting their names
Five thousand mornings melt into days
Wearing the blues and singing the greys
And their threats never come true
This ethereal message is waiting for you

Down, down, feathers through the air
Down, down, down everywhere

 

Mercury Towers

Well it's been a long day
I can't wait to slip out of my skin
And it's been a long way
I can't decide what state I'll be in

I live in the tower
It's only an hour away from here
I live in the tower

Out of the pink sky
Comes a Spanish radio show
Strange not to feel high
Watch the sleeping city below

I watch from my tower
It's only an hour away from here
I live in the tower

Beam from the tower
It's only an hour away from here
I live in the tower

(Mercury towers)

Well there's a factory
Down at the end of, like, Merlin street
And they pay a good price
Guaranteed and always discreet
When I feel bigger than life
I hold a mirror up to my breath
But it's been a long day
I can't wait to slip out of my skin

Skin in the tower
It's only an hour away from here
I live in the tower
(Mercury towers)

Come to the tower
It's only an hour away from here
I live in the tower
(Mercury towers)

High in the tower
It's only an hour away from here
I live in the tower
(Mercury towers)

Curled in the tower
It's only an hour away from here
I live in the tower
(Mercury towers)

Sleep in the tower
It's only an hour away from here

In The Net

[rev. May 28, 2015]

Barracuda metal slips through our conversation
Shifting from insomnia to chaste acceleration
Peeling out the pages from a book of random lullabies
Sleeping off the chrysalis, waking like a butterfly

In the net
In you get

When you're standing in the light
You can't see the dark alright
You forget
In the net
In you get

You got your ocelot that's eating up your birds
All the empty cages empty just two-thirds
I found that magic lamp and now I got my wish
But it's just another pond and I'm just a bigger fish

In the net
In you get

When you're standing in the light
You can't see the dark alright
You forget
In the net
In you get

In the net
In you get

When you're standing in the light
You can't see the dark alright
You forget
In the net
In you get

[Left]
When you're standing in the light
Just can't feel the dark outside
You'll regret
In the net
In you get
[Right]
When you feel that it's in your coat
Just one man controls that so
[4:22]
Wanna bet
In the net
In you get

[Left]
Here's your fortune and you can't take it
Shifting sands that set them free
Well get set
In the net
In you get
[Right]
Winds that sculpt the earth and near
Shaved them suns that held him here
[4:38]
Now get set
In the net
In you get

[Left]
???
Should I go outside, there's a baby on the porch
Well get set
In the net
In you get
[Right]
Now you're in trouble on the ziggurat coast
Adjustin' to love while the river soak
Burn you wet
In the net
In you get

[Left]
Swim and you sail and this is the sea
And I say oww you're drowning me
Now I'm wet
In the net
In you get
[Right]
Swim and you sail and this is the sea
And I say hey you're drowning me
Now I'm wet
In the net

Silvermine

[rev. May 28, 2015]

Silvermine, I'm falling into this
Silvermine, and no way through
Silvermine, I can't relinquish this
Silvermine, neither can you

I led him down to it
Can't get 'round to it
I led him down to it too
I let him loose in it
Can't get used to it
I let him loose in it too

Silvermine, I'm slipping into this
Silvermine, and no way through
Silvermine, I can't remember this
Silvermine, neither can you

I led him down to it
Can't get 'round to it
I led him down to it too
I let him loose in it
Can't get used to it
I let him loose in it too

 

Elizabeth Green

[rev. May 28, 2015]

Elizabeth makes abstract mistakes
In Chinatown when everything breaks
Rain in the windows, Singapore eyes
Under the ladder and everything twice

Elizabeth Green burned her machine
Entered the ashes on column fifteen
The days and the nights are gallantly looped
She falls from a world where dead kings are duped

Elizabeth wakes freezing mind lakes
Can't lift her hand for the dust that it makes
The music goes on but the ship has gone down
Down to the bed with a shining glass sound

Elizabeth Green deep and marine
Chains, planes and pearls and her number thirteen
Mile after mile, burn after burn
Return [repeated]

 

An Arrangement

[rev. May 28, 2015]

Oh, it's just an arrangement
No, I don't care if they see
You think you're sick of being yourself
What you crave is somebody else
Make an arrangement with me

Ohh, it's just an arrangement
No, I don't care if they see
You think you're sick of being yourself
What I crave is somebody else
Make an arrangement with me

Make an arrangement with me
