Hail Darkness

you say you want to die
well, you're gonna die
all your sorrow
inevitably doomed to be
all but swallowed
it is not marvelously comic (karmic?)
in my leather jeans
I turn the lights down
and pose in the blue lit gloom
are you alone like me?
you're glowing on the screen
I reach for you (over and over and over)
I want to stray from your sight
I want to lose my way
How long must I wait at the center of this all time low?
Bow your living skull in electric ice cold crystal fog
you won't disappear inside a dull, grey year
on this endless distance without dawn
horizonless, without witness
deliver me with spectral grace
rephasing back to coherent states
but you were never here anyway

sometimes a true hatred of life
removes fate from fortune
faced with this
I'm drinking alone again
watching you on the screen, I swear,
I can smell your skin and hair
but you aren't really there
and it's abundantly clear
this emptiness leaves me with no secrets to share
easy desires they renew as tho the sun
never bothered to set
and yet
(round and round) it costs me each new day
bloodless circulation without flesh
no true hatred of life cultivated
I've been waiting for the end since I began
It's not so hard to find a song in all this sin
use your imagination
what you would never dare say
to another living soul open up that mouth of yours
fill your lungs and scream a little every night
you're the saddest thing I've ever seen when you say that you're in love with me
I hear bells toll outside locked windows and coins hit the wooden floor
inside a room we don't share
I force my self down on the bed and lie awake till night falls
and listen for voices that rise and call
sublime, head in a hole, blindfolded, let them talk I don't care what about
images fleeting once they're felt, the space between
harbors nothing at all, it is no place at all, there is nothing at all
I don't know if I could put it, I don't know how I would do it,
I don't know if I should put it more plainly

the good things in life could be ours
to hold if we close our eyes and wish it so
so still and so alone the mind reflects intensely this empty room
hanging round, days without end, moaning in displeasure
draw me nearer to you little grey star
a fire so far away
a most remote romance, a heat I yet believe will arrive in time
in silent black beyond black
our fingers run along the bounds of spheres unseen
define me, thrust me forward, reflect me
more sophisticated than a mere animal lust

The Frailty Of Things

howl and devour
this closed fist to your lips
this fistful would go down hard
allow me inside, I couldn't hurt you even if I tried
thinking how you went away, now you're gone and gone you'll stay
and I'll never get to say anything to you again
you won't draw a map on the palm of my hand outside the club
on a warm, wet autumn night
just like the last time we crossed paths
please, please don't leave
I close my eyes and start to cry, cry and I'm surprised
cuz I never ever behave this way
look what you did you fixed a thing
you made what's broken work again
now let it work and fall like rain
I still can't say what I hid from you out loud
the thoughts I needed no protection from inside
you will never look into my eyes
not in this or any other life
lower the lights
at the end of your rope you're alarmed when you find that you feel nothing at all
(the clouds roll in
and I resist the wind)

One Last Wave

when I see you
will I only see how you see through
why we ever lingered on each other's gaze
filled each others days
found 1000 ways to say
I need you, please stay
I think I saw you last night on a drive through town
you were walking with your lover through a shadow
my eyes they never strayed from the road, spinning round and round
hand on the wheel, body and soul
I can feel what I want to feel
I can and will do as I wish
I want nothing less than for every promise to be kept
I have never believed that a person like me could actually be loved
in life you take what comes
there's nothing different I would do
did I give back half what I learned from you
and when I enter the room
and when I walk through the room
and all my secrets from you lead to my living thus
and my muted day to day
deletes every other way
outside of suicide by alcohol
I can feel what I want to feel
I can and will do as I wish
I want nothing less than for every promise to be kept
thinking of a way to finally say "it's time"
and then you look away

when the sun goes down, well,
I can't bring myself to give a fuck anymore
in the dark with my glass of beer
my non-dominant hand reaches for (remote control)
god help me never let me
live another summer that way
ancient spirit of evil can you see that towel
from outside my window?
ragged spiritual consent, forever asked never now
they are so.. they seem so juxtaposed
(so much so I can't tolerate it)
the sound coming down is enough to part the clouds
my private miracle, something wonderful
I've always wanted
what if when it comes we both decide to chance it
(I feel so much I can't tolerate it)

Isn't Anything There
04:06

In a dark room with no natural light
my music plays too loud
let time stand still like a secret held
or a long drawn out sequence of cells
as true to life as the will to live
outside circumstance I combat with sex
this will be the greatest summer yet
you create your own way, use it
you are a tower of stone adorned with lovingly thrown mosaic and portraiture
as true to life as the will to love
as true to life as the will to live and go on living
(spoken word part)
you can live the life you dream in the emptiness between negotiations
between the dots that disappear
you know me, you know my voice
press play invite me forth
you invited me in
I'm inside of you
(outro)

Valentine

(lyrics by Chrissy Jones)
I will never speak your name
Never hear your name
A moment passes and I
I feel you come alive
An open mouth begs
To be filled with milk
You whisper to me
“This is how dreams are made”
Formless
Among the dust
You and I are
Beautiful
From tip to end
Your fire inside of me
An arrow so deep
Your secret
Must go on...
Intooooo the night
I will never tell a soul
I willl never tell
Your secret’s heavy
In a silent mouth
Breathless
Unfolding
You and I are
Beautiful
From tip to end
Your fire inside of me
An arrow so deep
Your secret
Must go on
Must go on
Into the night
