Carve out a valley deep, deep, deep

Make me empty
Make me clean

The gum disease billboard is screaming
Come back to the world you’re leaving
Down a dark empty street
The party carries on for me we’re
Gathered here in mourning of our abandoned beliefs
With good grace grieving the people that all of us once used to be
With mighty glow the air is thick
Our bodies pulse and swell and stink
Like all of hell and all of heaven
Finally breaking loose together
Threads of chaos we can weave into bandages, bedsheets and tapestries

I was led back to your side
Down quiet streets I did not recognise
How desperately the trees here seem to be grasping at the sky
Roots are breaking through the pavement
You’re a short walk and a train ride away
The earth will move, the trees will shake
No single thing will be unafraid
|

Moon Rising
00:32
|

Above an endless depth of water
I feel like I am resting
The buildings are so tall here
They all must reach to heaven
Climbing to the moon
To let the sky become me
It’s just another axis Mundi

All the nights that
We killed time in rites of joy and rage
It kills us back a million little ways
In dionesian rites like these
We disobey, we bay and bleed
It’s just a phase we’re going through
It’s all I ever, ever, ever want to do

Some kind of poison leached into the soil here
And it bleeds into the seeds in this mud
And it feels like bleach runs in your blood
Blood beats in your eardrums
Like an army of feet marching on
Through the dusky air, the evening sun,
The sky bearing its teeth and gums
And you know it does too much to me
In an insular world you’re a conquering queen
In your coat and your crown and your hospital gown
Seven days, severed ties
Set in stone for the night
‘Cause I broke when I fell
Do you think you could tell?
And I used to believe anything could be healed
But now that was just me searching some kind of peace
Follow four fallow years
We never could come clean completely
We never could come clean
But the rain saturated the dirt here at the end of a cursed year
|

Aion and Ficus
00:32
|
|||
|
I remember you and me kicking a rotten tree to pieces
Never questioning our thoughts
We never talk about our feelings
High that we all reach before we feel ourselves depleted
The pipes have sprung a leak somewhere it's dripping from the ceiling
Because I see deep, deep, deep, deep cracks in what once seemed so concrete
You let everything else leave you
When you only keep a secret secret secret
Let the river run through me
Carve out a valley deep, deep, deep
Make me shallow
Make me empty
Make me clean

Distillate

Something burning, iridescent and wet
to clean and disinfect what memory is left
Angel hair spaghetti skeleton, ketchup
Baby's breath, the long, hot summer of sweat, sickness and discontent
Made glorious autumn again
Made glorious, golden, biting, burning autumn when
Your tears of joy are the only holy water yeah
And I could have sworn I had been here before and I was right
I locked myself alone in this toilet stall one night
|
||||
13. |
||||
|
Consciousness arrives
The spark of the divine
Restoring delicate fire to a
Hyperrighteous bloody mind
I am a gaunt and sweaty virgin
Walking out between the churches
The smell of wet paint, of light rain, of something burning
And the buildings are a blur to me
Like white mountains of mercury
Home’s definition splinters
It drifts and splits over the distances
And I am caught drinking the water all of our flowers withered in
|
||||
14. |
Reclaimed From the Water
00:32
|
|||
|
We burned our offerings
All but burned off our fingerprints
We talk in terms of pride and shame
The way we measure everything
Trade with you in absolutes
And obsolete currencies
You stand on land you reclaimed from the water underneath
And that’s the bluest water that I think I’ve ever seen
And I watch the white smoke snaking out the pores of your skin
And it’s no sweat, no death, no cresting
No peace, no need, no destiny
And you felt like the last real king of anything
|
||||
15. |
God of Rain
00:48
|

Move like you are treading water
To keep you head above the flood
Like there’s noone coming for us
There’s no covenant or dove
If you had never been afraid
Could you have learned to be courageous?
I know you’ve been brave
Because I have read fear in your face
If you never came crashing down
down to kiss the dirt
could you ever really say you fell in love with where you were
|

The party, the party’s never over
The party’s never over that’s just how I live my life
And chaos is a bed of wires
Is a bed of wires beautifully intertwined
And he party, the party’s never over
The party’s never over it goes on until you die
And stretches out in every direction
Horizon to horizon for miles and miles and miles and miles

I am glad that I still exist
Creating an indebtedness pressing indents in your slick wet skin
I am glad that I am more
Than the accumulation of silences spread before me
I am glad of these Holy saturnalian
Wholly dark dark dark days of obligation
When words of resolution, care or promise or caution, are hot breath dissolving into a cold cold new morning

Applewhite Iron Sulphide

I am a song
That has been woven from chaos
And I follow straight rivers
I am irretrievably lost
I am pulled on through your veins
A ferrous vessel built of meat
Carried on ever cresting waves to no better destiny
And my heart is bathed in lightning
My blood is laced with onion power
With this sunset the greatest days days are truly over
The awakening glass mountains
Biting into apple skin
Bursting and sweet I swim back to you in my sleep

Excavation

Blister bursts and bleeds
River meets the sea
We built a road where the water used to be
I never see the downside
I never feel the landslide under me but
I see deep deep cracks in the concrete
Slow erosion down through the centuries and
Sinkholes open up All down the street and the
Tang of blood I taste when your name escapes my teeth

Don’t stop moving your feet
Don’t stop shaking your head

I want to show you quietly what I would do for love
Move like you are treading water
Keeping your head above the coming flood

All the plants have died
All the food is putrified the
fruit is thick with flies
I feel sick, I feel hungry
The fists and teeth of god shake above me but
I want a river to run through me
Carve out a valley, deep, deep, deep
Make me shallow
Make me empty
Make me clean

But the silence breaks between us
To a million tiny pieces
There are places where the light bleeds
Night is already retreating
Don't you know you're lifting me
With everything you live to see
And now the future doesn't seem like such an awful place to be
And you and me have always been
Growing into different people
We still feel human heat
Even where we fail to seek it
Make me shallow empty and clean
Like when you felt like the last real queen of anything
Yeah

A song rings from the throat
Of your building’s waste disposal
We burned all of our offerings
The party’s never, ever over
It’s the river it was then
With different water running in
When you felt like the last real king of anything

Carve out a valley, deep, deep, deep
Make me shallow
Make me empty
Make me clean
I want a river to run through me
Carving a valley deep deep deep but
It overcomes
It wins the day
It talks me round
To ancient shames
I am naked I am shaking
I am possessed with the feeling
I am finally making peace with all the broken parts of me

The party, the party’s never over
The party’s never over and it’s pulling you apart
If these buildings are crude crucibles
Then change me, make me beautiful
You’re a tiny little shot in a great big dark
Any surface is an altar
Any bathroom is a church now
For our rites of joy and rage
I am numb, powerless and compulsive
I spit blood and dirt from a bust lip
And I am holding a king’s ransom in a fistful of foreign change

These extremely scary thoughts
Find these violent ideations see
Blood in bloom between the rocks

The King of Drowning
00:32
|

Back to terra firma
Back to the very first thing
Back to light coming through your window
like hot blood flooding a numb limb
Back to that same strange, sad terror
That’s invading from the waking world
Back where you felt like the last real king of anything
Back to sweaty and terrified
Back to watching myself hanging pissed
Back to my own two strangers hands
From a star emblazoned bridge in Hammersmith
Back to my clean shirt clinging to my dirty skin
Back where you felt like the last real king of anything

There is no song
It's long since ended
I lied about the angels
I said I saw descending
There is no song
There is no sound
There is no depth or weight to
Any of our words now
There is no song
The air will ring with
There is no voice here
That is capable of singing
There is no song
There is no story
I thought I saw an order to the chaos
But I watched that fall away before me
We have no song
We have no language
We have No way to articulate
New boundaries of anguish
There is no song there is no breath
We have not got one single throttled, glottal, guttural utterance left

Static and Splendour
00:32
|

|
No more sorrys when you want something concrete
Something you can build with
Begin to fix a promise
And if I had been honest
Said you were all I wanted
We were nobody’s prodigies
We were nobody’s problems
And no-one ever told you it was going to be like this
With highs so high and lows so low no middle ground exists
That we could have oblivion or bliss
We could choke back static
Or bask in splendor solis
|
||||
49. |
||||
|
The party, the party’s never over
The party’s never over I don’t really mind now
Because all my friends are there
And these songs are never really ending
Even when it’s silent they will hang thick in the air

For Transmutation

Piled the furniture to burn
The way we watched the earnest do
And when we’re rid of everything
Begin to reconstruct the room
No dirt
No earth
No dearth
No feast
No fruit down here among the weeds
No depth
No breadth
No breath
No breeze
No air
No blood
No bone
No body
