Aimless Survivor
06:45
|
|||
A long night holding out for morning
The Melatonin lasted for a while
Re-evaluating my emotions everyday before I go outside
I became inactive after New Years
I hope that I'll get going come July
I was invited to you lake house
You shouldn't be surprised if I decline
Aimless survivor, hell that's good enough
Better alive than not be here at all
I know I'm not in isolation
And I appreciate your call
Suppressing the feeling
Unsure of revealing my intentions
I started a hobby
Put smoke in my body
All show babe
All this repeating
Like morning, like evening
Rewire me
All this is folly
At home with my body
I'll always be sorry
You've never been easy on yourself boy
But I can see the value in that
We don't need to point it out boy
What good would it do me now
I felt I was honest
And how you responded in kindness
Immersed in the process
I worked on my concepts all night babe
All this repeating
Like morning, like evening
Rewire me
All this is folly
At home with my body
I'll always be sorry

A Peach On A Tree
03:08
|

Cells start to cook when it's 50 degrees
I don't like it, I don't like it
Starving the brain oxygen that it needs
I don't like it, I don't like it
All the inventions and progress we've seen
Social constructions have made us superior beings
Despite our achievements in life
We're still a peach on a tree
Think for yourself but be bound to our laws
I don't like it, I don't like it
We own the house but the mortgage is yours
I don't like it, I don't like it
These contradictions exploited for gain
Often the narrative ends up the same
But last night I dreamed I was Toshi
A Japanese boy with no voice
Learning from birth the material crawl
Living deluded but functional despite our flaws
And the thinning atmosphere
One day the earth won't be here.

Body Of Drone
03:59
|
|||
I dream I'm inanimate
Even my panic is stone
I'm styled by confusion and covet collections you own
You've got a way of reinterpreting the male gaze
We call our cathedral The Imminent Body Of Drone
We wear black like a beetle
Bore deep like a needle in bone
We've got a way of celebrating the external stain
I'm in waking
At night I shed my clothes
There's a new skin waiting
How I long to be exposed
They call us receivers
Internal believers
Well tuned
Reject all the breeders
Hard wired evolutionary moon
We've got a way of readjusting to the currents of the day
I'm in waking
At night I shed my clothes
There's a new skin waiting
How I long to be exposed
I've been waiting
For the skin to be exposed
Like a kid just waking
Trying to understand their home

Explore The New Tongue
03:08
|
|||
You're sober but you're restless
No promo
Summer's automatic
Your neurosis never slowing
Just exploding like an Alber's pattern
You can fly off at the handle
But your colon keeps the needle steady
There's a fallout but don't panic
Even comics suffer censors
The only way now is down
I'm a washout
Pre-extinction, post-erection, anti-ergonomics
Went to Saxony, in the centre
With intention of a sadomasochist
I am tested when extended
I could tell you but I just talk around it
Preservation on the tundra
My last meal was an Ibex
The only way now is down
Your mouth's destruction
Explore the new tongue

Life Right Now
04:40
|
|||
I light your cigarette and let you take me in
I emulate your sex, these walls are paper thin
I live with total strangers
I watched you defecate outside the Bürgeramt
I don't communicate the secrets of my heart
You spat on me at New Years
You spat on me at New Years

A Fist Of It
05:57
|
|||
I have travelled
In love I've gambled
I've shared my life
I survived that ride
I've been writing since '89
And it drives me still
I hope it always will
Don't be scared watching me ageing
An old man knows how to fall
But I can't escape the baby I once was
My need for touch is always strong
I don't get too caught up in wealth
I've got humble needs
I live within my means
Been a while since I felt desire
How I'd like to hold someone in my bones
Now I'm fine in isolation
With no one to call my own
But I want to confess my thoughts to someone
In the soft shadows of the dawn
Didn't I make a fist of it
Didn't I try to fix a smile
Didn't I shake my instrument
Wasn't I listening for a while
And where I'm going...
I'll take whatever is going
