BOILED


(from the unreleased EP "The Disappearing World")


Vapour from a boiling cauldron dissipates in the damp green.
Piles of skulls watch as a hand lurches out, reaching for the red sky.

Vines and the snake twist and twine, entangling a city of fading gold.
The flesh, heart's, the brain's consumed, the shadows laugh to death.

Psychotic drums beat to the moon who in frozen horror ghasps.
"Human eat human eat human", it screams, suddenly ceizing to orbit.

Boiled

A thousand thank you's to Jonathan for helping with the production, and to Mads Thomsen and Nanna Schelde for moral support!

LYRICS:

When the world ends I would love
for us to walk under the blackbirded sky
fearlessly, side by side like
there is just us

And then one day it came to pass
Beyond sanity and solipsism
As I was the only person
under the moon
I saw you

Solipsism

A thousand thank you's to Jonathan for helping with the production, and to Mads Thomsen and Nanna Schelde for moral support!

LYRICS:


Don't tell me that I only live once
The fact just perpetuates my despondency
Remind me instead that life is long
and that there's time to change

Don't ask me to have faith either
I was born without it, there's no seed to plant
But tell me there's hope without it
That the will to live is enough in itself


yeah, my consciousness blackens
I'm also lost still
I am changing


Don't say that your life is strikes
It's not just a constant series of nothings
Just because we're struck by nothing
doesn't mean that there's nothing to strike


Disillusionment and concupiscence
need not be the framework of our existence
and though I have to confess
that sometimes I feel pretty hopeless
I know nothing lasts forever.


yeah, my consciousness blackens
and I too am lost, but still
I'm not changeless


Something grand
is about to unfold
let's make this happen
and never be afraid again
struck by nothing again

Struck by Nothing

A thousand thank you's to Jonathan for helping with the production, and to Mads Thomsen and Nanna Schelde for moral support!

LYRICS:

refuse to accept
review your intellect
rescind rescind
do not repent
do not regret
revise and look ahead

refuse to accept
kill and quell your respect
the kill the kill
be angry still
but never withered
resound the rebel yell

propositions
compromise
there's nowhere to escape to
reality, yeah
the truth's nowhere
so throw yourself into the fire
and refuse to accept a stupid liar


we're used to connect
We all are living wrecks
I tried, I tried
to just grasp why
in retrospect
why you would inflict

those propositions
and compromise
there's nowhere to escape to
reality, yeah
the future's here
the end is closing in, nigh and nigher


we will fall
to propositions
and compromise
those platforms of escape fade
reality, yeah
the truth's nowhere
so throw yourself into the fire
and refuse to accept a stupid liar
the end is closing in, nigh and nigher
but we will climb and climb on higher
a race with time, time, time, dire
'cuz I'll always refuse to die here
and refuse to accept

Refuse to Accept

A thousand thank you's to Johnatan for helping with the production, and to Mads Thomsen and Nanna Schelde for moral support!

LYRICS:

A little kid crying
A big room in the night, the black weather
A rainy afternoon
A book and coffee and memories
The scent of wet grass
Open eyes staring at a world
Windows leaking
Translucently revealing my truth


Evening, a train headed for the movies
at a time when things were beautiful
Except a "when" always implies feelings
and beneath the beauty loomed a thunderstorm

Because back then your eyes shone into mine
and I remembered being a little kid
crying in a big room in the night
Crying in the night


After the movie, outside
The sky was cloudless

Thunderstorm

Conditional EP by me, Pete B.
Thanks to Nanna Schelde for providing vocals to tracks 1 and 3, and thanks to Mads Thomsen for helpful input, and basically thanks to anyone I've told the project about and who at least pretended to be interested  :)
