I know it sounds so incredible
But it’s all so untenable
'Follow reflections in the sky'
I’m sorry, what were you saying now?
The egresses are various
But every one is precarious
Cascading, you’re blaming yourself inside
Still I try;
You deny.
A small and sullen sound,
Blink and you might miss it.
An ear to solid ground,
Frosted over.
An amber-code regret
You hear but never listen;
What counts is the intent,
What matters isn’t.
A smile and sudden frown,
Blink and you might miss it.
Never to be found,
The moment’s over.
A chance encounter spent,
You’re here but never present.
What counts is what is meant,
What matters isn’t.

The Salve
04:27
|

|
It’s in the cards that I can’t be myself today
There’s a fetid spirit here still distilling
I watch the day as it slowly retreats from me
The flesh is weak and the mind unwilling
I should apply the salve to myself,
I should apply myself to the salve
I spell the day out inside parentheses
And stumble headfirst into the static
The warm inertia whispers a nicety;
The will to acquiesce is emphatic
Still…
I should apply the salve to myself,
I should apply myself to the salve

No Real Anodyne
08:37

Alright, piece me together the scenes of a life
See if it adds up to something
You breathe in and breathe out a sigh
“But I try, but I try…”
Alright, show me your story and I’ll show you a lie
To live is to feel yourself railing
In real life is no real anodyne

Chicago Tailback
03:57
|

|
Peaceful only as far as the eye can see
Always aware of the down and the distance
Mess of internal inconsistencies
Failing even with ample assistance
Toxic fallout
Sprout limbs in every direction
Chase gin with vinegar
Chicago winds
Find your way in amongst an emergency
Speeding to the extreme middle distance
Is there meaning in all that occurs to me?
Scraping by on a meagre existence
In meaning drowned
Expect your cheque in the mail
Your skin is cellophane
Chicago winds

The All Lie
02:45
|
|||
|
Crusty-eyed
Morning light as I creak and groan and
Half turn over
Lost my teeth in the night
And all this time
I always thought I’d leave before
Life got colder
The things I thought I’d see before
I felt older
I always thought I’d leave before
Sky clouds over
The things I once found wonderful
A million miles away

Verdant Green
04:23

I want to see you
But I guess I’ll have to wait
I had the scary dream again
I woke in cold embrace
And called you quietly
Verdant green all along the waterline
Everybody wanders in their dreams
But nobody ever leaves
Going at a crawl in a sincere attempt at being
Anaemic
The world is leached of green
The world is this terrarium
The tight confines between
Violent scenes all along your mind’s eye
Everybody wonders what they mean
But nobody ever leaves
Adamant pleas to the unseen, unfeeling
Everybody wanders with the breeze
It’s calling to me
Verdant green all along the waterline
Everybody wanders in their dreams
But nobody ever leaves
Going at a crawl in a sincere attempt at being
Verdant green all along the water line
Everybody wanders in their dreams
And nobody ever leaves
Keeping to a deal in a sincere attempt to be
Never really feeling like you’re free
Seems to me
