ascending starssoul catch fire
said i'm alive

i push back the table they put it back on me
laugh cos i'm able they put it back on me
soul catch fire
Beneath The SkinBeneath the Skin a caustic red river
Beneath the Skin corrosive abuser
Beneath the Skin genetic in rupture
Beneath the Skin all cold and hungered
Beneath the Skin a still born forgiveness
Beneath the Skin cell transfer in whispers
Beneath the Skin a lover cries murder
Beneath the Skin all cold and hungered
Birdnest Hairbirdnest hair
so slips the dream a paper boat
in heavy seas
into thin air
lost upon on the tidal stream
another year
but i don't care
birdnest hair
Black Spring Risingblack spring rising
she falls
by the way a black rainbow wispering my name
by the way i changed the locks and i'm on a plane
by the way i turned to dust washed away by rain
by the way i burned your books and i changed my name
i took his hand it begins to snow
refracted light of a black rainbow
Butcher And The Butterflythere is a finger missing on my right hand
a butchers hand in a butterfly wing span
the sky hangs on a thread as I paint the white picket fence red
said am I alive or am I dead
I cought a raingbow tear in her sunset smile
I told the broken bird of my unborn child
these blood stained walls in her head
Carry You Through FireLet the light reflect away all knowledge
The window blushes at my indiscretion
A history made up of untold stories
The postman knocks again, he comes with empty hands
Still I would carry you through fire
Still I would carry you through fire
Childproofchildproof to the letter
you know the truth you know better
the girl on the pavement
she's spinning
don't be long come and get her
i need a drink so just forget her
time just slips through my fingers
hold onto life
for i am the wayfor i am the way
burn all effigies of clay
walk on water today
for i am the way
for i am the way
today i turn my blood to sweetest wine
a holy sign imbued with the divine
today's the day the gods walk out on me
HeavenAngel in formaldehyde
A woman's torso in the gin
Hanging up the washing line
Lopsided grin
Ain't nothing for her in Heaven no more
(Don't look down)
Ain't nothing for her in Heaven no more
Hide From TimeInside her tower she feels free from harm,
I'll lock her up inside safe and warm,
She'll sleep for winter she'll sleep for years,
The garden's overgrown over her tears.
Hide from time,
Hide from time.
I Adore YouThey open my window...in comes the light,
I froze in the corner...I pray for the night,
But if it's you my dear who turns on the light,
I'll eat from your hands as a bird with no fear no no,
fear.
Because I adore you,
I adore you,
In RedI wreck your bed
The colour is honey
Your finger prints marking my wall
In red. It’s red.
I take a light plex
Put it around your neck
I turn it on a choking blue
joleneHe talks about you in his sleep
theres not a lot I can do to keep
from crying when he calls your name
Jolene, jolene, jolene, jolene
i'm begging of you please dont take my man
jolene, jolene, jolene, jolene
please dont take him just because you can
Kissing My DisgraceCut her into little pieces
Move her round the plate
Knife and Fork I'm all dream, you're all talk
I'm kissing my disgrace
Kissing my disgrace
Older fragments with no meaning
ladybirdAnd all the insects have flown
They're not working the same branch
I hear their feet
Their tower has fallen
Ladybird
Ladybird
Ladybird
MadraykinLet not your hold be so tight,
She'll return in the morning,
If you give her the night.
Madraykin is she suffering?
Is she suffering?
Madraykin is she suffering?
Medicine Jarmy baby talks in his sleep
i said wake him up
Oh oh oh go to bed love
oh oh oh go to bed love
Yeah oh
My baby talks in his sleep God damn
she's out on good behaviour
even daddies love won't save her
Mother TongueHoles in clouds
I drop through
They don't understand
Me like you do
How can I help when I learn on my mother tongue?
I love you now but for how long?
I love you now but for how long?
My Silent Undoingmy silent undoing
my silent undoing
my silent undoing
my silent undoing
my wasp in a jar
protruding hips
and skull, and spine
ribcage cuts a clear outline
Pray For MeI painted somebody,
I painted some more,
I painted a house and I opened the door,
I made her come inside,
I made her feel warm,
I mended her heartache,
The one that she tore.
Pretty PollyPolly pretty polly come go away with me
Polly pretty polly come go away with me
Before we get married some pleasures to see
She jumped up beside him and away they did go
She jumped up beside him and away they did go
Over the mountains and the valley below
princess carwashHang it up Sailor
Your flag ship it burns
And it burns and it burns
You took the straight road
You just missed the turn,
You're out of gas out of gas
Put on the red shoes
Racing Towards The SunDo or die that is my question
A little seed burning in me
It's hot I must get water
Racing towards the sun
Do or die break or burn
I’ve still got so much to learn
My breath is tearing with the dying sun
razorblade skyi rip open
clouds with no faces
she undoes herself
for a slice of your pie
razorblade sky
razorblade sky
i quench your thirst
i bleed you dry
Ride The AirwaveI look you in the eye
You breathe our suicide
The universe collapsed and died
And in her womb a seed
A stillborn you and me
I bade the storm break me to pieces
Above, below
Siamese Almediacan i show you this state of mind
for it is not mine
can i not show you this state of mind
for she is not mine
i will not entertain this state of mind
for it is not mine
i will not entertain you
for it is not mine
Sleeping Pilloh so, my love
this sleeping pill
will watch you through the night
and come dawn
i'll be long, long gone
i tried, i tried, i tried
i..tried, i..tried
we feed upon the broken branch
SleepwalkingTrippy little Popsicle cod,
Did I get it quite right?
Broken got broke,
Was it good to smoke?
I am not sure,
Was it good to sing?
Was it right to love?
Was it wrong this turning that I took?
SuckLa la la la la la la
Suck it down deeper
Oh suck, la la la la la la la
A little bit deeper
Oh suck, la la la la la la la
GOOOO!
Force my hand i will sign anything
Summer's Coming Summer's GoneSummers coming, Summers gone,
I got left behind in a Winter storm,
Sunlight burst my cloud,
Burnt my retina,
I can stare at the flame,
She's my love
She don't go away,
I love you,
swim into meShe is tied to the rocks, blood to the sea
The voice of the siren, continues to bleed
Untether your lungs, allow us to breathe
Cast off your limbs, and die unto me
She is tied to the rocks, blood to the sea
The voice of the siren, drowning in me
Untether your limbs, allow us the see
Wolverineson my back i lay it down for plenty
these bones to crack
i'll scream til it's empty
i learn how to dance with the dog
she's clandestine i'll spit for a foothold
these nails are mine
i'll bleed til i get hold
i learn how to dance with the dog
x-ing off the daysYou walk all over anyone who dares to be a friend,
Scream and yell because you deem them unenlightened men,
High upon your horse you preach, preach and preach and preach,
Love thy fellow humans all the filthy little creeps.
X-ing off the days,
X-ing off the days
I nearly broke my back as I was bending back for you,
Yesterday's HymnTen planes falling from the sky,
The setting sun leaves no trace,
My name was written in the sky,
But now there is no trace.
Yesterday's hymn serves me not,
Tick tock tick tock tick tock.
