Woven 04:38
we had been following the same creekbed for many moons stumblin among the dead roots we just about had it figured out is something stirring in the grass? we just about had it all sorted out i swear there’s something stirring in the tall grass we had just about set foot on fertile ground but now you’re turning back running back up that hill i start to falter while you continue to stand and i dissolve like silk in the sea’s hand and i dissolve and i dissolve and i dissolve like silk in her hand we move in in slow mo we move in slow in slow mo we’re woven into in slow mo we were woven into in slow mo

Set Up House 03:59
when i saw your name on the list i felt vibrations in my hips our orbitals again in resonance might we revisit it the hum of the sub sends ripples out one graces my glass, one your mouth arching your back on the back of the green room couch perhaps you and i should set up house what a tantalizing gift there's no denying that the gloves fit still, i was a bit shocked when you hopped into my lift i didn't see it coming, i must admit the hum of the sub send ripples all about it's getting harder and harder...to doubt the way your skin glistens ‘neath that blouse perhaps you and i should set up house the hum of the sun sends ripples out moving through us, passing through us feels just about like eighty gauss perhaps you and i should set up house the calm of the dawn as we feather flock to our locks, it’s time to severe the way you ride by in that tight knit sweater perhaps we should set up house together

Laki 05:03
the dark bitter haze arrived in late spring and stayed spring and stayed dull and indifferent the ash settles thick on the ground a guest most unwelcome came in the night and stayed night and stayed i saw fountains of fire babes splayed on the funeral pyre heard them cry do not drink from the parrish well livestock strewn the earth but a gaping wound the corpses their throats cry out do not drink from the parrish well lo the ashen tongues feel the blackened lungs now we gather Huddle together do not drink from the parrish well i awoke and the sun rose on the wrong side sun blotted out, tongues falling out

diving swimming cutting cleaning down in the depths of my soul she finds something that glitters like gold inside told her be careful she might find find herself lost in the depths of mine lost in the sight of her eyes i might let myself go to the other side don’t look for me Just let me be deep in her love found me lost at sea please you don’t understand deep in her ocean i don’t see no land something euphoric Her pearls in my hand delicate flower o’er my land please you don’t understand deep in her waters i don’t need no land something euphoric Her pearls in my hand delicate flower o’er my land i’m diving deep again somewhere off in the deep end where i go it depends where our story will end it’s getting deep again she knows the world that i’m in i’m feelin’ her she’s softer than silk in my clothes telling me to go and take ‘em off she knows what it is, she knows that i’m not none of these lames, she knows that i’ve got nothing but the best of intentions i’m the one that she ain’t gotta question deep again i’m somewhere in the deep end and where i go it depends i can’t escape you i can’t escape you and i don’t blame you i just surrender to this lust this lust cause somewhere in between there’s us down in the depths of my soul she finds something that glitters like gold inside told her be careful she might find find herself lost in the depths of mine lost in the sight of her eyes i might let myself go to the other side don’t look for me Just let me be deep in her love found me lost at sea

Hell Away 03:33
The sun is hot. Our fate continues to be suspended in suspense. A man was walking down the dusty road to Rio Nanay, shuffling a deck of cards as he went. On the plane a woman began to sing litanies, and then, her eyes growing wilder and wilder, to rail at evil spirits. Not until we had landed and taxied to a stop did she calm down. Am I in the wrong place here, or in the wrong life? Did I not recognize, as I sat in a train that raced past a station and did not stop, that i was on the wrong train, and did I not learn from the conductor that the train would not stop at the next station, either a hundred kilometers away, and did he not also admit to me, whispering with his hand shielding his mouth, that the train would not stop at all? Drastic measures, he whispered to me, were appropriate only for someone who had not set foot on this continent yet. To fail to embrace my dreams now would be a disgrace so great that sin itself would not be able to find a name for it. (excerpt from "Conquest of the Useless' by Werner Herzog

feeling trapped like a ship full of rats who just fought off a plague now about to be wiped out by a traitor who took the bait at sea for days fear that can’t be assuaged could the rumors be true men so impotent that a caste of rodents could slaughter captain & crew wrists obtuse pry them loose eyes on sideways minds running on haze no one can be trusted don’t let them say you can’t access your rage it can be mustered wrists obtuse pry them loose if you say, i’ll pull the chute if you say, i’ll pull the chute don’t let them say you don’t need your rage don’t let them say you don’t need more rage never have they they can’t be trusted never they must be mustered never have they don’t let them say never have they fought a plague

Before Long 03:54
