where he's going,
nobody will.
follow him still,

another structure of sound,
to drown all the day's,
pains away,

and it's an object I found.
in a world that is pure,
of this I am sure,

passes through me
I'm a lens that's unclean,
and as fast as can be,
it offends, it's obscene,

it's a never will ever will sever myself to the...

another blank page needs words,
forced into rhyme,
and sung into time,
another silence I heard,
sung by the muse, 
she's leaving me clues,

suns going down,
I'll be wasting my time,
in the our of the hour, 
in the mine of the mine,
in the never will ever will sever myself to the... 

once I thought I was holy,
guess I didn't really know me,
I've been waiting for a long time,
to get out of this place,
into,
where I bow into the center,
but it says I cannot enter, 
I've been waiting for a long time.
on a dirty speck of grace,

another day's ghosting in,
the nights growing thin,
and all that has been,
is a another memory that mars,
asking which pain is ours?
just follow the scars,

but wherein they lead,
I do not want to go,
I've been fixed on the feed,
and it's hurting me so,
in the slither womb,
wither bloom,
breaking up, breaking down,

here I am and I'm confessin',
some kind of positive expression,
life happens until it doesn't, 
and then it happens again,
still I'm leaning on illusion,
still I'm preening on confusion,
I've been stuck here for a long time,
in a parable of pain

Horrendus Offendus

wart sector and it's stuck in the long division,
don't you ever do that shit to we...

don't go breaking my  heart.
with your 6 feet apart,
kicked out of the grocery store,
freaked out and I'm trying to ignore,

don't go pricking my arm,
with your fire alarm,
forged in the lake where you burn,
sake of the never will learn,

tying all my tantrums up in a bow,
trying but I just can't no what I know,
how has everything now come down to this?
weeds running the garden and I'm on their list,
and I'm pissed,

don't mean nothing,

this side's dead and buried,
that side's even worse,
this side's cemetery,
that side has become a living curse.
welcome to the land of the horny robots,
where the poison is cure,
truth is the lies that we tell you,
drink deep and you'll be sure,

I'm not gonna drink it,
I'm not gonna think it,
I'm not gonna ever let you put that needle in my arm,
you're doing me harm,
stay far away,
please,
get off of your knees,
try,
not to die,

and I wait, and i wait,
together apart,

don't go pricking my arm,
didn't I say I love you?
didn't I say?

I got no time to make sense,
I gotta move,
there's an electric fence inside my head,
and it's closing in,
it won't leg go, 
of it's chosen skin,
that's me all: "won't you let me go?"

won't you let me?

Evil, won't you let me be?
(love you to death I oughta)
I could be very happy!
(chew on your head I'm gonna)
it's Evil,
watches out from my stare,
follows me everywhere,
leave me alone,

together apart,

Only one thing I can say
(love you to death I oughta)
Evil won't you go away?
(chew on your head I'm gonna)
it's Evil,
touch of a hungry mirror,
feeds my faith to the fear
LEAVE ME ALONE!!!

I got no time to make sense,
there's an electric fence inside my head,
and now it's closing in,
it's frequency beneath my skin,
it crawls the walls,

if I could only escape.
the fever few, the claws that scrape,
the ground-me-down,

no time to make sense,
I gotta move!
never knowingly,
what it means to me,
no time to make sense,
I gotta sit on the fence,

you'll never close your eyes when you sleep,
wart sector and it's...I gotta move,
she'll never nose your thighs in the deep.
wart sector and it's...i gotta move,

and it's a crime and an offence,
I got no time to make sense,

don't mean nothing, just take a look around,

this side's dead and buried,
that side's even worse,
this sides cemetery,
that side has become a living...

don't,
don't you ever do that shit to we,

don't go pricking my arm,
don't go doing me harm,
watching the corpse frolic hop,
and when is this shit gonna stop?

all my gears set to grind,
machines eating my mind,
and when we get to the end,
it just starts all over again,

Public Service Announcement

Vancouver's a sinkhole don't you know?
hungry ocean waves are lapping tongues,
black bull bellowing bellow,
that same may rise and some may fall among,

the sun is gonna shine, 
so rise it up for me,
I'm carrying my time cause that's my destiny,
my skin is gonna shed,
my sky is gonna clear,
my past can't touch me now,
my past can't touch me...

Vancouver is sinking don't you know,
been praying like a mantis for my part,
i have been thinking to bestow,
and raise the new atlantis in your heart,

the sun is gonna shine, 
so rise it up for me,
I'm carrying my time cause that's my destiny,
my skin is gonna shed,
my sky is gonna clear,
hate will turn to joy,
and love will come from...you,

New Atlantis

where you are,
there you are,
near is near,
far is far,
there's no forgiveness,
just whispering ears,
my head is a bony bag,
of broken mirrors,

summerset, 
can't forget,
all strung out,
fingers fret,
invisible friend will be keeping the time,
deep in the slake of my slither-pit mind,

the imaginary world that grew from our love,
sleeps in the deep dreaming of the above,
cold and indifferent the cynical skies,
heart that won't start and a head full of lies,

how I love you,

make believe,
starts to rot,
the story world,
you forgot,
whispering ears or a silence so cruel,
borrowing tears on eternal renewal.

I love you,

you left me here, all whispering ears,
the shadowless Queendom that you used to rule,
sleeps in the deep 'neath a silence so cruel,
and I'm laying to rest,
the skipped beat in my breast,
and the hiss of my whispering ears

           ....

happily never after,
a moment of sad sobbing laughter.

well, you know my head's a squat house,
and I've boarded up the eyes,
so that no one else can see,
that I'm fooled by my disguise,

happily never after,

        ...

how I let them in,
and how they piss on the floor,
deep in my squat house head,
drowning in my powdered rapport,

I only live one day in eternal refrain,
it's a Burmese repeater, again, again, again, again,

are you a beautiful melody,
with horrible words?
there was a sermon of insects,
and it was all I ever heard,
bestowed a blessing of filth,
and I was high on the stain,
it's a Burmese repeater, again, again, again, again,

Burmese Repeater...

Whispering Ears/Happily Never After/Burmese repeater

mind cogs set to grind,
but life is an illusion,
still I can't seem to find,
my way past the door,

why can't I be,
faithful be me?
if I, 
if I could only stop it for a minute,
preened on the pain,
couldn't explain,
if I, 
if I could only stop it for a minute,

the light is all around you,
the Sun has finally found you,
it's you that's turned away,
to live your life astray,
chasing eternal grey,

pick it, pick it GOOD,

I'm losing the moment,

I'm not killing time,
time is killing me,

I'm a lesson unlearned,
I'm a bridge to be burned,
I'm staring at the wall,
doing nothing at all,

I've got nothing to say,
but I'll say it with conviction.
I thought I knew the way,
but it didn't mean a thing,

why can't I be, 
faithful to me?
if I,
if I could onlly take the world and spin it,
lonely denier,
must pass through the fire,
if I, 
if I could only stop for a minute,

wringing in the wrath,
and there is no path,
so tell the stumbling block,
it's the way that you walk,
that's the key in the lock,

Now the Heart Citadel has fallen,
and the walls go: "We told you so",
tongue of famine and it's poison pollen,
in the Meat Locker the flowers grow,

You and I must part,

A lifetime now, and not a second to spend,
what to say when you deaden my end?
and the words won't wait,
till your high on the hate,
and you lose your race,

now they're teaching you that you were born wrong,
and you swallow that pill cause you wanna belong,
no girls or boys,
just wind up toys,
of a human plague,

lap dogs and their fearsome bark,
you and I must part,
I'm not blind I see the dark,
you and I must part,

it's a backwards world and we're tagging along,
cause we had two rights, now they're making a wrong,
will you lie in the lies,
where the darkness denies,
you your own senses?

trying to teach you now, that you were born right,
and to open your eyes, and to trust your own sight,
and to play your own part, by the beat of your heart,
it never lies,

I'm not a can of man,
I'm not a can of man,
I'm not a can of man,
except I am,
except I am,
trapped in tin, and I can't win,
a man in a can,
mechanically,
mechanically,
separated and degraded,
me and against me,

I love you,
don't no what you know,
I love you,
deep in my mechanically separated heart...

Hey there with your never ending
la,la,la,la,la,la,la,la,la,la,la,
I can't help it, the signs your sending
la,la,la,la,la,la,la,la,la,la,la,

I've been a pew in the church,
a statue in the cemetery,
I'd leave it all in the lurch,
just to taste your symmetry,
and we could make a hymn or three,

hey there with the way you're making
la,la,la,la,la,la,la,la,la,la,la,
I'm off key and the world is aching,
la,la,la,la,la,la,la,la,la,la,la,

I've been a never-you-mind,
a steeple in the nether reaches,
I'd leave all far behind,
for a song called you and me,
caught here in your gravity,

LAAAH!!!!

as I walk on tippy toes,
through the place where nothing grows,
here I have to plant my seeds deep inside me,
I was pregnant with the world,
and every thunder bolt it hurled,
till your beauty crept inside where I hide me,
and now everything is wrong,
I'll never show you this song,

la,la,la,la,

hey there,
did you know that you're so la,la,la,la,la,la,la,la,la,la,la?
lapping dream of a bright tomorrow,
la,la,la,la,la,la,la,la,la,la,la,
but I'm a prison you see,
and it's really quite contagious,
so I'll be leaving you be,
putting out this tremble fire,
and wishing you your heart's desire,

(Silver Platter written by Jennifer Pitcairn.)

a lower case i and a melody,

I wish that I was like you,
without a care in the world,
some days I would dream like you dream,
some days those dreams would come true,

no, but I'm stuck outside in the cold
why can't you just let me in?
it would be so nice,
to shed some warmth on my life

why can't you just let me in?

I wish that I was like you,
sheltered and always kept warm,
some days I would dream like you dream,
some days those dreams would come true,

no, but I'm stuck outside in the cold
why can't you just let me in?
it would be so nice,
to shed some warmth on my life

why can't you just let me in?

lower cased i and a melody,
lower cased i and a melody,
offering every open ear and absent mind,
offering every open ear and absent mind,

lower cased i and a melody had a talk,
a lower cased i and a melody went for a walk,
out there, in the open air,
offering every,
open ear, absent mind,
offering every,
hope and fear,
heart resigned,

a lower cased i and a...
a lower cased i and a...

lower cased i and a melody spun a thread,
lower cased i and a melody went to bed,
inside my haggard hide,
offering every,
open ear, absent mind,
offering every,
hope and fear,
hear resigned,

I wake up and I gotta get moving,
Eschatology's ensuing,
and I got some songs,
I've been doing for,

the answer to my teenage dreams,
but someone slit me up the seams,
and my candy coating's,
all over the floor,

oh no,
it's every little thing,
living life could bring,
so scry,
sigh,
stripped to my sound,
tower tumbling down,

I wake up and I gotta stay laying,
got some dreams that need replaying,
and I just can't seem,
 to face the day in this,

skin that's growing strange black fur,
and all I do is think of her,
but I'm just to shy,
to hit upon a Miss,

come what may,
how beautiful is the day,
come what might,
how beautiful is the night,
how beautiful is the night,

Eschatology

the sensation,
of sound vibration,
on your sweet skin,
am I spinnin',

it's a love spell,
couldn't you tell?
and now you're in range,
don't you you feel strange?

Mandragora,
I adore ya,
how I planned it,
pomegranate,

it's a love spell,
if it goes well,
and if it goes wrong,
it's a sad song,

now it's all gone wrong,
now it's a sad song,
now it's a sad,
now it's a sad...love spell,

it's melodic,
and hypnotic,
how your beauty,
shudders through me,

it's a love spell,
couldn't you tell,
of the cold heat,
in a heart beat,

obrigado,
desperado,
I'm a grail knight,
who's not there quite,

it's a love spell,
if it goes well,
and if it goes wrong,
it's a sad song,

Mandragora

On the 13th bar...

Jake-Leg Lindy came to town,
they set him up and put him down,
he's stuck on the 13th bar,
on the 13th...

No one wants to turn him on,
they all just wish that he was gone,
he's stuck on the 13th bar,
on the 13th...

Wagging heads will play dead,
and question his mental health,
no one understands him,
least of all himself,

He's stuck,
on the 13th bar,
on the 13th...

Spank it for me then Jake-Leg,
you know how I like it,
low and lonesome,
the blues I love to sing,

That's it boy!

Jake-Leg please don't go too far,
you must stay within the 12th bar,
but he wouldn't listen,
he wouldn't listen,

In the city,
everywhere you can look the roads cross,
that guitar is all strung out,
to measure the coin toss,

He's stuck,
and the roads cross,
and the 13th bar,
and the roads cross,
and the roads cross...

Jake-Leg don't you cry,
here's your lullaby,
hang your pretty head,

I love you Jake-Leg!

The Wrath-Monkey,
early in the morning,
starts his grumble-song,
scorning, thorning, without any warning,
must not take too long,

For the Wrath Monkey must feed,
he's chewing on your happy thoughts,
do not let him breed,
conquer him with what you've got,

Wrath Monkey!

Blood emetic,
playful and pathetic,
the sadist goes to town,
and I do not want to hold the Wrath-Monkey,
do not want to hold him down,

Cause the Wrath Monkey must win,
growling loins that shape the shove,
will you smash that stink face in?
or conquer yourself with your love?

Wrath Monkey, you know you are,
Wrath Monkey...speak:
"WAAAARRGH! WAAAARRGH!! WAAARRGH!!!
oooh,hoooo!
WAAAARRGH! WAAAARRGH!! WAAARRGH!!!
oooh,hoooo!"

Wrath-Monkey!

Cause the Wrath Monkey must feed,
he's chewing on your happy thoughts,
do not let him breed,
conquer him with what you've got!

(After Math. Before Spelling. A love that could not be. The true story of two best friends, trapped in My Own Private Manitoba.)

Trying to sing a sunrise,
from out the letting of our bad blood,
but your silence speaks,my knees weak,
beneath the flow of the flood,

Honestly, can't you see,this is me,
trying to be what you want,
except i couldn't and can't,
not a promise or pant, could i haunt,

desolation darkens the door,
where i dress up in my death,
but that's life, and it's rife,with this strife,
the clock breaking with each breath,

and now the hands never meet,
so we'll stare at our feet,with interest,
and the numbers don't count,
up to any amount, i confess,

Wager me, i'll be wringing the words,
from my clotted throat,
Wager me, and the tracks that we marked,
bid a baleful bloat,

Wager me,
for i told the truth,
and you broke my mirror,

It must be all my fault,
if we don't appear,
is our reflection gone?
is that the path we're on?
out from the sinking streets,
of the quicksand concrete,

you know my scars still sing...

Apologies to fall from my lips,
are only tears in the rain,
in the muddle of this puddle,
I would catch your refection again,
but for the reality that my proximity,
imparts pain,
and the truth is that noose of abuse,
swinging loose in my brain,

Sorry is the name of the blame,
that bides a world without friends,
where confessions of love, are made of,
old shames and long lost loose ends,

And every poor Palindrome,
a once and future home to forsake,
until they're lost in the cost,
of destruction that they'll leave in their wake,

Palindrome

Stranger did they send you,
to riddle me down?
when the enemy befriends you,
you must swallow your sound,

Hide what you roared,
in the same 7 chords,
puzzle box words,
left unheard,

In the temple of the insects,
that no one else can see,
will I climb the bony handles,
an offering of me?

White wolf says no,
and if it's just a dream,
why do the whispers scream?

Cause you did what you did,
oh you messed up stupid kid,
now you're forty years old,
pretending your shit's made out of gold,

The song is done,
but it's barely begun,
barely begun and it's done,

so end it,
so end it,
so end it,
(I can't.)

End it! End it! End it!

A blessing made of curses,
leaves me trying not to swear,
never clutching my pee-body.
never been so unaware,

Heaven and Hell,
are the same stupid place,
gay frogs can jump in your face,

And I die, don't why,
but I die, a little each day,
and it's good, least it should,
should be good, so they say,

The song is done,
but it's barely begun,
barely begun and it's done...
