This dies now
all the feelings
all the hurt
all dead now
And for one day
or more I will
wait for the moon
and know when it comes
I’ve bled you gone
I’ve bled you gone
I run blood over my arms
and rain soaks my back
so that my mind will now erase
all you were
I bleed you gone
I bleed you gone
Six foot three of
DNA which
will never make
sense to me

Snakes to Dust

Hello trip what you got there it’s magic
you believe in fairy tales
I can’t hear your voice from here
Darling close the door or the flowers will dry up
it’s time to go back now before it’s too late
You believe in fairy tales
you hold on to what’s not real
Darling close the door or the flowers will dry up
suffer the fainter it’s been shaken
and she can’t hear you
It’s too late
you have been beaten like snakes to dust
You believe in fairy tales
you believe in what’s not real
Darling close the door or the flowers will dry up
suffer the fainter it’s been shaken
and she can’t hear you
Because what you think is really obvious at this point
shuffling at your heels and biting like a dog

Black Rabbits

No black rabbits here
no early warning call
the death toll like a lottery jackpot fall
And the circus lights blind in blurry eyes
not born to run with engine and diesel
Claws on stone are torn
but I lose every part
I fall less eloquent palomino heart
I give you everything in a clumsy verse
I give you everything tripping over verb
I gallop rings round you till
the pads of my paws bled and
till I am sick and giddy in the head
To you I offer hoof and nail and hair
and cut off my limbs to fit in your care
Across your path the rivers of death and wheel

Static

we have a technical problem here
because of the storm
low monitor frequency
to replace that fine line resin
decree of skeletons in this work station
we fought the static and shadow play
but we were unarmed
no smoke could chase them from here
till the light shone through their armour
The dead will turn on their heels and fall silent
Go eat and take the cold with you
Go eat and take the cold with you
Damn it these people are automatic, it gets on my nerves
Go eat and take the cold with you
