Golden Collaborations

Thank You to the Estimable Wolf.  When my spark lay dim, he helped light the way with a fuse.

golden hues
when I find the proof
and taking it as truth
gonna set sail into the sunset.

tidal wave
ride it out in a haze
people clapping in the distance
as the sail catches fire.

tied to the mast, bent to my will,
I ventured forth for a faith I'd sworn
pay me now your luxuries, 
my sinews smashed my hands my knees
while you calculate atrocities,  
and prosper on my words undone....I bleed

thinking while I lay here
so close to the sun
it's hotter than I'd think hell

wondering why I said it
I'd take it back
gonna set sail into the sunset.

(deathclap)

******************************************************************

Haven't slept a wink in days
the sun and the moon all look the same
guess in time I'll find a way
the clock eats each second off its plate

sleep child it's time for bed
sleep.

no sleep i'm tired I'm still awake
the sun and the moon laugh in my face
all the hours I stare into space
the clock moves its hand at a slower pace

Insomniac's Lament (ft. Kenny Karlsson)

***************************************************************

please be still angry sea
you see, I've grown sick of the deep
ripple and swaying
please be still just for me

waves hit them hard
waves hit them cold
they know not of their failures
and will trespass until they're old

no book to protect them
no paper to trade
just a bed that they made

waves they keep me here
waves they keep me still
know they're getting stronger
know they make you ill.

but they're not made by forces I control
it's the moon to blame.

cold and far away
the salt is all I taste
we sink...

sold for all our weight
in salt and bad taste
we sink...

Collaboration with Literate Wolves.  The moniker implies the plural, only because his greatness is too much for one body.  Hail to the howl.

Things were verdant, Green 
Pipe down and listen, I'm just setting the scene 
Don't need your protests, I'll fuckin leave 
Things ain't been this rotten in the core since adam and eve

  
Verdant, abandoned scene 
It's all comes clear now, we are 
we're the last ones to leave

First we look the other way. What? 
then we try and try. What? 
Now We're throwing in the towel 
down on bended knees 
prostrate, begging please calling on deities. What? 
Living Obliviously 
I'm such a talented boy

And all the world is green

[Wake Up]

[The Clock Chimes Doom, We Don't Have A Clue] 
and here I come in the glare of the sun 
the wind carries me into your lungs 
If I were mercy I would cut out your tongue 
all the words you say are flat out wrong.

[Soon Enough, We Consumed Enough 
Soon Enough We Consumed It All]

you say you live in a video game 
where you get to kill the bad men away 
but I'm afraid that you got it all wrong 
it's my turn and I have you won.

have you won 
have you won?

[We All Fall]

I'm such a talented boy, 
I'm Just the Last One to Leave

the oceanographer

the wind blows over my house
and we dive to get to the floor
we can only see as far as we ignore

the waves tumblin' ashore 
you couldn't hit the sand more
you just hit a little harder than before

spent my whole life at sea
and it's still a mystery
'cause to know the things you weren't meant to see 
could damage a boy like me

Untitled (We Should've Played)


all our life
we hid away
we don't have to play

we said goodbye on our way
to an important date

no sound no wind
blown my way
"so gone", they say
"gone away"

so dead
i'll survive
i know no other way

note to self:
you're already dead
fade way away 

aww. too late.

all our life
we hid away
we should've played
