Wax and Wane

The darker side of an infatuation
The twin eyes from between the trees she’s a girl
Who thinks she knows what’s best for me
The needle thread and thread going head to head well it’s
Easier said but you know that it must be done
To stitch two into one
And it racks my brain
Everyday
The wax and wayne of a heart
Wondering if it’s part’s not done
Will you cut my strings and make me come undone?
Will you pull these threads and make me come undone?
The darker side, the cold and lonely
You play the keeper, but it's sad that there’s only one
Who’s going to cry when this is done?
The ebb and tide swept away again
Every insect made way for me to feel your skin
Reunited once again
And it racks my brain
Everyday
The wax and wayne of a heart
Wondering if it’s part’s not done
Will you cut my strings and make me come undone?
Will you pull these threads and make me come undone?

Fishbone

Watch me sink like a fishbone, into the surf
Do like a shark does, breaking the surface
Do like the sea does, when it swallows the sun
I’m swimming into your teeth and onto your tongue
Pull me into the darkness where it’s warm
Well I can’t think clearly when you got me under your skin
How’s it look from the outside looking in?
Sink like a stone does, when I let you down
I tried to dry your eyes, and I nearly drowned
Do like the sun does, when it's leaving me blind
Blind and bleeding in the darkness here
Will you throw me to the wolves my dear?
Well it took such a long time to see these tides turn
Will you let me show you all I’ve learned ?
And when all I have is burning will you stay with me?
Will you leave me as a silhouette in the blue
Strip my image from every part of you
It will be so strange having no one to belong to
I can feel two souls in a tangle come undone
I wish these times were simple and I wish these times were fun
Back when it had begun
Do you remember we were animals just rolling round in the sun?
Back when it had begun
I wish these times were simple and I wish these times were fun
Back when it had begun
Do you remember we were animals just rolling round in the sun?
Back when it had begun

Cyclone

I breathe in dusty little breaths
Well the radio warned me not go out
There’s a cyclone brewing and it’s stirring up the clouds
By the hand in the heavens that’s stirring up the trees
Well I finally found an exciting way to leave
I’ll be the maniac playing the chimes
When there’s no one at your doorstep but the breeze
I’ll be the stranger wandering in
When you leave your window open
And we’ll be closer then you’ll see
I’m so tired of sitting around
Gonna let my fire burn the whole house down
And I’m so tired of sitting around
Cyclone take me away without a sound
And I’m so tired of sitting around
Cyclone make me lost and not found

Black Hole

Seldomly well fed, better off dead
I had a dream that I was a child
That child was a scumbag
Once I had a lover, I don’t think that I could love twice
I had a dream I met the love of my life, I had a dream that I ate her
I had a dream I was a black hole
And I pulled her deep inside me
and as she swam through the chambers of my soul
She found out I was empty
Seldomly well fed, better off dead
I had a dream that I wish you could see
I had a dream that you liked me
Once I had a fever, and I think I gave it to you
cause deep in my heart where my sickness grew
That’s where I trapped you
I had a dream I was a black hole
And I pulled her deep inside me
and as she swam through the chambers of my soul
Well that’s where I trapped you
You are such a dream dear, as your fingertips walk near
You make me feel like my body has a mind of it’s own
You make me feel so shallow
You make me feel so shallow
You make me feel so shallow
You make me feel so shallow

Ugly Swamp Fucker

I don't want to breathe the air you breathe
I want to fill my throat with mud
I want to wallow in the riverbed
Swallowing stones I could stand to put on weight
Walk down riverbeds feeling weary
Sleep all coddled in mud
Crypted hearts are beating faintly
Pump imaginary blood
I want nobody to know me
Maybe suspect I'm there
I reached a hand out through the pane of a flowing window
As the diaphragm of the shaky camera lens closed
Catching a vague protrusion, that's all they need to know
I don't wanna see the stars you see
I want to rise all covered in grass
When I wake from my pale grey sleep
I want stars distorting in the shivering glass
I want to live for a thousand years
I want to live for a thousand years
I want to live for a thousand years
I want to drown anyone who swims here
Living on by word of my mouth and silhouettes in photographs
Hallucinations you perceive in the periphery of your headlights
