This is so damned good!!! Discovered this page through Miaow McDonald and i am not disappoointed. What a jam. Instant fan.

Now that's what I call production! Very cool track!

Brilliantly menacing with fantastic vocals and instrumentation!

A delightful cautionary tale.  Excellent mix and lush layers!

Sun goes up,
Sun goes down,
So I'm told
And I am curled into some place
Of absency,
Weighty,
Sciamachy,
And every face peers  back at me.

You know my whys.
You'd have me believe
That I'm a Matisse, upon my knees.
So I thank the skies
For the bit and bow
In shapes of lullabies that open home.
I will sing you home...

You look so good inside.
Who am I in the colours
That i am twirling through?
Til I lay my horse-drawn eyes on you, my love,
My ears are broken.
You look so good inside.
Liquefied
To the gold that trickles out of you.
So the sun would give her core for you, my love.
Her core for you, my love.
Her core for you, my love.

~~~

with bitter wings on broader shoulders,
here lies my sense and curiosity.
here lies their lies told, shaped and bolder,
until i don't recognise the me in me in me in me.

be kind, be kind...

some words
to please June
like we pleased December

(takes courage, too much courage, to hear all sides)

your glorious eyes see more than any others'
your gracious mouth curls around every light.
whose life is this, above, beyond all others?
whose is this body, this oversight?

rewind/be kind

some words to please June
like we pleased December

Please June

Skylines

why don't you come on to me creep
instead of sitting in the corner fingering your drink
i saw it in your face
there was a flicker in your eyes
though the light in here ain't great
it don't lie
though it tries

if i seem unsteady on my feet
don't kid yourself darling
it's only the drink
and if you want me down on my knees
all you gotta do is ask me please

i've been waiting for someone like you
to climb those stairs
and slide into the room
if i come across as kinda desperate
it's 'cause you flicked my switch
i love it when the carrot
is also the stick
that's a neat trick

if i seem unsteady on my feet
don't kid yourself darling
it's only the drink
and if you want me down on my knees
all you gotta do is ask me please

chemical waste is my safe space
...

if i was any kind of man
i'd make you understand
i'd shave my head
i'd cut my nails
and show you with my hands
i'm the great unknown
i pour my own
you don't know what i am
but when you stand up tall
i climb the wall
you're the best thing i never had

Chemical Waste

There's just something about a woman who drinks tequila.

This is the second to last track of Fluff's third album 'Down the Rabbit Hole'. https://open.spotify.com/album/4Iq21rBQvgXesED9Hv8GEc

We distract ourselves with meaningless noise, money and a selfish desire for 'me'. We don't realise how the skeletons in our closets, the hate and separation we breed and nurture, slowly erodes togetherness, fairness and community, while at the same time builds up to a big explosion, which probably none of us will get out of alive.

Lyrics:

I can see it coming
I know I'm failing
I close my eyes
I'm just a child
Can't make it go away
I don't think I'm strong enough
For what's gonna come for us
I know the kind of person I've become
And I know I let you down
And I will again

When it comes down to it, am I a coward?
(I know I let you down)
Will I ever stand up and be counted?
(I'll do the same again)
When the walls divide
Which side will you find me on?
(I brought it on myself
I brought it on myself)
And will you forgive me for what I've done?

Every day I have a choice
Do I choose to use it?
Am I too sensitive?
Can't handle any friction
And you see straight through me
Know me completely
My loyalty so easily broken
That it's barely there at all
But you don't let go

When it comes down to it, am I a coward?
(I know I let you down)
Will I ever stand up and be counted?
(I'll do the same again)
When the laws divide
Which side will you find me on?
(I brought it on myself
I brought it on myself)
And will you forgive me?
I need you to carry me over the line

Coward

More Than A Body

The composition was inspired by the poem "Crossing the Water" by the American poet Sylvia Plath (1932-1963).

Crossing the Water

Black lake, black boat, two black, cut-paper people.
Where do the black trees go that drink here?
Their shadows must cover Canada.

A little light is filtering from the water flowers.
Their leaves do not wish us to hurry:
They are round and flat and full of dark advice.

Cold worlds shake from the oar.
The spirit of blackness is in us, it is in the fishes.
A snag is lifting a valedictory, pale hand;

Stars open among the lilies.
Are you not blinded by such expressionless sirens?
This is the silence of astounded souls.

Crossing the Water

From the album Schopenhauer's Apprentice.

Here comes Mr OD
Isn't he a swell guy
Wouldn't hurt a crane-fly
Just don't look him in the eye

Here comes Mr OD
Belly full of JD
Tramadol and codeine
Cocked it up, at least he tried

Here comes Mr OD
Tried to take his own life
Couldn't handle his strife
Forty years then suicide

Here comes Mr OD
Isn't he a swell guy
Wouldn't hurt a crane-fly
Just don't look him in the eye

And however close I came to death
I saw nothing
No smiling angels or relatives
I saw nothing
No flashing memories before my eyes
I saw nothing
No tunnels or heavenly lights
I saw nothing

Tell me, do you think there's anything wrong with your mind really?
Not a thing, Doc, I'm a goddamn marvel of modern science

Hahaha Woooo!

Medication time! Medication time!
