Fructose 03:49
pouring out the streets to form charged waves i can feel you pulsing through my veins words crystallize upon a blank page and smoke rings up to form your calming face sweet lick your antenna clean and let me fold across you, my arms will find you i dreamt you kissed me and i lost it to wake up feeling you so far away sweet so sweetly hold you in a soft phase so sweetly hold you in a daze i dreamt you kissed me and i lost it pouring out the streets inside my head sweet

when everything has lost it’s charm when everything has lost it’s way when everyone has turned away when everyone has faded grey the houseplants sing a song to me they’re trying to show me i can see and look around the time has come for something new to break this freeze when everyone has lost their charm when everyone has lost their way when everything has turned to dust when everything has faded grey

smiling faces appear before closed eyes shot like stars down and away the link calling me to the spirit party unlike anything i’ve ever known can’t you see we are to be these eyes? i know it’s there behind a cloud of noise but how to build a chimney to let the billows out it seems illusive all-inclusive to the spiral up silent spines to the head that sits with closed eyes and attempts to wait so show me the door so i can enter the place where i belong the skies localized in tears and smiles can’t you see we are to be these eyes?

we harp we harp, razor sharp rusted bottoms, out the dark stomach fathom, beastly mark doing donuts through life so we harp harp, razor sharp walk through puddles in the park sunshine glistens we’ll remark snake the slither, we’ll snake the slither have you seen that vision sprain? have you been to bed yet brain? have you seen that vision sprain? have you been to bed yet? harp harp harp harp, razor sharp shrieking from the endless dark someone called out from the arc that formed beneath the trampling feet we harp we harp, razor sharp a sizzle simmer, shot the spark rest up for your last embark upon the tremors holding you awake have you seen that vision sprain? have you been to bed yet brain? have you seen that vision sprain? have you been to bed yet?

Self 02:20
out of energy ghosts chase to tire me there to push me out of me so i’ll be the man i’m born to be i’m running out of me there’s nothing here to save across the pageantry of space and waste i can do this if i please there’s no place for judgement there’s nothing to fight when everything is pushing you towards something you cannot see nothing left to be shadows were chasing me here to tell me that i am what i see i can do this if i please there’s nothing to fight and no one cares you’re frightened we’re all what we’re meant to be

Climb 02:30

Haunted 03:24
i got this face hoverin’ over me i got this pain falling down on me and i taste this grave a place i’m amazed i’m haunted by phrase and feeling dismayed frustrated mind pulls until it breaks confusion aims to take it all away and i taste this grave a place i’m amazed i’m haunted by phrase and feeling dismayed the wheels are coming off today my legs are wobbling and i’m afraid these walls are haunting me these walls are haunting me how much will it cost to feel free these walls are haunting me the disconnect leaving only me to taste this wreck; the thinking enemy and i taste this grave a place i’m amazed i’m haunted by phrase and feeling dismayed the wheels are coming off today my legs are wobbling and i’m afraid these walls are watching me these walls are watching me how much slavery until we’re free these walls are watching me
11.
souls, we are in folds, dressed in gold hanging from a lantern star to hold the candle light afar beholden, we are on the black curtain of a fool’s lament dressed in stars, molten like deep pillows flowing down a mountain we fall sad but beyond it all something stands tall calling from the beyond all is not but a whisper a silent tune, a hush from the souls we are, the souls we are

about

This album is an eclectic collection of songs that have been sitting around for some time collecting dust and feathers and other signs of being neglected and forgotten. Most of them were finished more than a year ago. These songs are remnants of albums that don’t exist and likely never will, outtakes from albums that haven’t been released yet; a collection of songs capturing pieces of time, abandoned ideas, and thoughts long consigned to oblivion.
