Water is Heavy

When I was three
I almost drowned 
in the ocean
Somebody pulled me 
from the water 
and put life into me.

Is something running wild 
in your memories?
Maybe you'll find 
a trace of salt.

There's always a storm 
coming.
Water is heavy.

When I was fourteen, 
a neighbor kissed me in the rain.
He said don't tell anyone 
he's seeing me.
We're so good 
at hiding 
what we need.

Is something running wild 
in your memories?
Maybe you'll find 
a trace of salt. 

There's always a storm 
coming.
Water is heavy.

They say we'll be taken 
by the flood
before everything 
dries up.
But for now 
I'm holding your hand
by the river.

Is something running wild 
in your memories? 
Maybe you'll find
a trace of salt.

There's always a storm 
coming.
Water is heavy.

Water is Heavy

The Masterplane

Kiss you in sky
In my dreams
We flew miles high

We became
Tropicbirds
Over the sea

Spanish moss
Snake skin
Temples of coral reef

Ignition key
To the masterplane
There's a garden for us

Take me
To the masterplane
Take me

Take me
To the masterplane
Take me

Kiss you in sky
In my dreams
We flew miles high

Moon
Over Taurus
Time before language began

Let's run wild
In the forest
Let's lay down our guns

All of us
Are tourists
In shells of stardust holding hands

All of us
Are tourists
In shells of stardust holding hands

Let down
Let down
Your guard

Let down
Let down
Your guard

Ignition key
To the masterplane
There's a garden for us

Take me
To the masterplane
Take me

Take me
To the masterplane
Take me

If I turn into a Black Rose

You entered my door a storm of chaotic roses
Stirred up by a lightening bolt of bees
The world is full of hustlers, angels, and demons
But your love is sanctuary

The city is a wrench getting tighter
A living scraped into a sad buffet
You rescued me to an unforeseen garden
In the landscape of your mind

If I turn into a black rose
Please don't kiss me goodbye
My heart is a torn letter 
My heart is blown away

In the afterglow of recognition
To see the future unfold with clear eyes
The first time we swim naked
Releasing the darkness inside

If I turn into a black rose
Please don't kiss me goodbye
My heart is a torn letter 
My heart is blown away

My heart is a torn letter 
My heart is blown away

Laura Inside the Ghost Machine

Laura Laura canary
Laura Laura quite contrary
It's an evil world your fighting against
I love you, but I'm no better than the rest

Laura, the dogs are out to fuck you
They're careless howling behind garbage
They're little boys inside sheeps' clothing
While inside you is the fire of a wolf

Laura inside the ghost machine
All the nice robots will turn mean
They clap their hands at paper agony
But they're faint of heart for the real thing

Laura, from a Brooklyn family dying
The worm in your throat is rising
While your friends regard more newsworthy fat
To mock about, to laugh about, to cry about

Laura, the world is sweating
Just another man sweating while he's cumming
Laura, the blue mountains wait for you
While we sting our eyes on our dust

While we sting our eyes on our dust
While we sting our eyes on our dust

Laura inside the ghost machine
All the nice robots will turn mean
They clap their hands at paper agony
But they're faint of heart for the real thing

Laura inside the ghost machine
All the nice robots will turn mean
They clap their hands at paper agony
But they're faint of heart for the real thing

So Instead I Got Drunk & Listened to Jimi Hendrix

Tell me again how we're post everything
This from a cosmic mouth that's still foaming
Everything is everything
Everything is everything

I put you in a mansion in my head
I left the radio on to comfort the corpses
Everything is everything
Everything is everything

One time a boy grabbed me by the neck
He pinned me to the hot hood of a car
He put a lit cigarette up to my face
He said how would you like me to burn your pretty face?

I prefer green bananas, but I'm as fickle as they come
My warmest socks are made of cotton and 
     some version of petroleum 
I'm sure I'll say something that will make you roll your eyes
Keep rolling them up to the sky and into your insides

Sometimes I carry an anger & I should do more yoga
But many who teach it are depressed & 
     sometimes anger is best chased with vodka
Enlightenment is status chasing and expensive
So instead I got drunk and listened to Jimi Hendrix
So instead I got drunk and listened to Jimi Hendrix

“What you gotta do is play your own simple blues”
Voice rough silk thread sweet hook into my skin
Here’s quote from my own smoke hewn leathered id
Which is kids what I just did
Cosmic snake doorway swallow me whole
Hands on this wheel life, but no control
I still try to touch the sky
I still try to touch the sky

I took your greed playfully
Collected jewels dropped from your mouth
Let’s make everything be a toy
The walks at night tripping
It don’t take long for you to find your kind
And wrap them in your collage mind
You got an expansive no limits mind
A big heart sky reaching to my eyes
Let my ego die that art be glorified
Blacklight Vegas hot in my creation

“What you gotta do is play your own simple blues” - Iggy Pop

Anda Volley - Lyrics & vocals 


Are you armed? Are you armed? Are you Armed?
Or is it safe for me to enter?
Are you taking names, and the time of day we spilled our guts to you?
Are you laughing at me looking up softly at your eye flying by?
Do you know the choking beneath the shadow of your wings?
Wake me up. Wake me up. Wake me up.
When you stop believing we are your children.

Are You Armed (a capella)

Anda Volley - Lyrics & vocals

Ladders

We're climbing ladders 
To reach the space filled with soft shadows
Never to remark upon the razors in our minds
In middle-age, we discover maddening bells
In small landscapes, we might think of nothing else
Than allegiance to certain storms
Or the idea of God, or any god
Or the floodland we build our houses upon 
Under the watchful eye of an aging sun

And when you're falling without a parachute 
You'll say sweet, merciful Death 
Is the only mysterious god you'll ever know
You'll ever really know

Barn red, dotting the landscape
Blood thick, only birth can make the narrative go from here
Spread your wings, or thighs
Or the sheep hopping ingratiating braided tombs
Or the voice, and the only real crime to leave it behind

Oh I have been wandering in thoughts of you

Star of the Unborn


Love me like a flag waving in your country's hands.
Let's blow stardust, and twist tongues into endless ampersands.

Take me to the star of the unborn.

There's a blue flame over our bed and red tongue splitting the air.
Your eyes grow darker when you start tugging my hair.

Take me to the star of the unborn.

A vase carries life, ringed with a festival of lights.
Obelisk in the cool of night, pointing to starlight.

Take me to the star of the unborn.

When you say things so cheap, like gold, like nickel-plated lies
Don't expect me to believe unless it broadens my sky.

Take me to the star of the unborn.

We're making teasers for the next lift, like a dump-truck to our lips.
And the stars shine on, and behind them could be long gone.

Take me to the star of the unborn.
Take me to the star of the unborn.

Anda Volley
