Broken Slinky

A breaking point for colors that won't blend
Beholding so it's shown that it might end
Always so tired of never knowing when
The words will stop repulsing the tongue again
Always amiss, always aware
Inside a head that never shared
The gaps between the thoughts always becomes a year
A year
A hand with the intent of growing blight
So pale and made forever to divide
With understandings of never getting through
But what's the point if nothing's acting true?
Always amiss, always aware
Inside a head that never shares
The gaps between the thoughts always becomes a year
A year
A breaking point for colors that won't blend
Beholding so it's shown that it might end
Always so tired of never knowing when
The words will stop repulsing the tongue again

Fast Forward Flashback
03:05
|
|||
The brain as a film show
Cameras for eyes
Turning when they’re closed
Like spools, counter-clockwise
Editing footage,
Deleting most of it,
Fixing what you dredge,
You drool film tape from your head
A questioning specter,
Past imperative:
“Who’s the director,
Of mood, and of narrative?"
This is what happens when stills from the past that your
History is stashed as
Glitch and then overload to the point of
Digital collapse
Films in a freeze frame erase in this instance
Visions of how to get past that and amend
Fast forward flashback
Fast forward flashback again
We are all extras
In each other’s plots
We’re all expectors
Who bruise easily with cuts
You choose really nothing much
This is what happens when stills from the past that your
History is stashed as
Glitch and then snap, crack to the point of
Digital collapse
Films in a freeze frame erase in this instance
Visions of how to get past that and amend
Fast forward flashback
Fast forward flashback
No one can watch this outside of itself,
No one can watch it in anyone else,
Asking to touch it is bound to fail
This is a story that can not end well
And no one can watch it
No one can rewind
The brain as a film show
Cameras for eyes
Turning when they’re closed
Like spools, counter-clockwise

Mechanicals of Time
04:19

Creature in the makings
Destabilizations
Fictive bits of trace,
This form so fixed and scathingly stern
Anvil clouds in stasis
Stand-still crowds and faces
And in spite of changes
This bodiless creature’s return
Automatic traumatic lonely dreams on the rise
No more imagined ghosts in the machines, only sighs
Automatic traumatic lonely dreams deep inside
The imagined ghost in the machine, just a sigh
A sigh
A cry
Always just in time
Cogwheels bands and lines
What a senseless finding
Creature in the makings
Antenatal basis
And, despite these changes,
One multiform creature’s return
Failure of words
Failure of failure of words
Post-post-post-post-post-
Modernism’s ghost
Turn of the century,
Turn of the screws
21 rotations,
Finally loose
Metamorphoses, metaphors,
Change inside chains
Word after word,
The verbless creature breaks

Beta Vulgaris

Atmospheric frostbite
Wither the laurel leaf crown
And the lack of sunlight's
Reaping all that I have sown
Photosynthesizing
Every concept I have thought
Through a holy mouth which
Uttered all of my old words
For you
I can see the dandruff
Falling when you flick your eyes
In a moment's notice,
Use my tongue for your disguise
Dandelions' intent flies through
Every head you choose to taunt
Breathe it in and tell me,
Is this what you really want
For you,
For me?
Born to take what is left
Gratulate theft
Oh, they're impressed
And such it stands through twists and turns
I hope it burns
I hope they learn
Complimenting a visceral time
And all of the walls are acting like mimes
Vines disrupt my visions and corrupts the river's old flow
I fertilized my hopes
For you
The drought was always meant
For me
You never really cared at all
I lost connection to the ground
And I don't mind

There's nothing promised
Liquid depths
Desillusionment
All of our visions
One by one
Will evaporate
Now truth is flotsam
Adrift at sea
Decked with barnacles
Tell me of something
I’ll believe
Without metaphors
Oh to live
Without dreams
Words are a longing
And a grasp
That it won’t be met
There is a million
Thoughts to think
And not one to live
Oh to live
Without dreams
The more dreams you harbor
The less horizon you’ll see
To greet life with ardor
Is to invite destroyed beauty
There’s no way to evade,
To assuage, barely to cope,
Yet somehow we always find ourselves
In the grasp of another hope
Life’s not a uni-
Vocal song
It’s just cadences
Is all there is
To always sink
And not ever land?
The more dreams you harbor
The less horizon you’ll see
To greet life with ardor
Is to invite destroyed beauty
There’s no way to evade,
To assuage, barely to cope,
Yet somehow we always find ourselves
In the grasp of another hope

The Candidate
06:40
|

I tried
To catch a stream and keep it in my palm
Lost my calm
I tied
A knot and wondered if I was born anew
Soaked in blue
Run it through
And see if the collision's all in vain
Needless pain
All skewed
A merry time for your own misery
All for me
Sweep it under and share with none
It's been so long since you've been thrown
Sleeping summer, fall, drop dead
Waking in a glass-like wintry bubble
Seasons’ circles cover it
Seeing that it also is corruptible
Trying to catch a stream again,
The history will be double
Being in accord with what this song says
For all this I wouldn’t hesitate
To say you are a candidate
I wouldn’t hesitate
to say you're a candidate
Gathered dice, a million eyes
Threw them thrice and let fate be the culprit
Randomized the sum, it fit
Character encoded it and culled it
Blended it with melody and ended with this song, yes
These are the exact words that resulted
To all this how can you really say
You’re not made in the exact same way?
I wouldn’t hesitate
to say you're a candidate

With Rusty Wheels
03:37

A moment of belief
Vultures and worms getting me lost
A moment of relief
Letting them die out in the frost
And in the time of grief
Like a clockwork, waits to be crushed
All the writings containing some sense of anomaly
It might hit way too close to home
Repeating the same words for the sake of validity
Everything reeks of death to come
Next to none
No-one’s there
Inspired breath
Poison air
All things are text
Or symbolism
And the meanings are dead
Or always shifting
Isolated from the outside's wellknown purity
You've been drowned in your own bliss
Incarcerated in a den of all your thoughts' debris
I've waited far too long for this
Digging teeth in hopes of finding gold
I think I just lost my appetite
Look at you, your hands are filled with mold
To be frank, you don't seem very bright
And then spite is spilled with poison pens
Words sown on frozen fields of paper
Shading bright spaces and the person that gave voice to them
Everything reeks of a deathlike vapor
All you’re made for
All the writings containing some sense of anomaly
It might hit way too close to home
Repeating the same words for the sake of validity
Everything reeks of death to come

Indentity
04:32
|

Tried to build my entire life a home
Ended with a scaffold
Crooked structures and all the levels hold
Insulation and mold
Fastened onto endless process, forged with force
Indentity
Molded in between forms filled with ands and ors
Indentity
Building complex structures
Keep uniform and separate
Building complex structures:
How reality is made in our heads
And if we succeed to build constructions on a swampy mind
Or at least instigate a process where we sort of try
We try to build our entire lives a home
End up with a scaffold
Shifting structures and all the stories hold
Isolation and mold
Fastened onto endless process, forged with force
Indentity
Molded in between forms filled with ands and ors
Indentity
Houses of indented paper so deformed
With dents adorned
Slowly folded open, thus our bodies born
Identity is our shape
We stand before a storm
There’s no room
There is just yesterday’s fuming ruins
As we crumble one by one in two
Into topographic maps so smooth
And a flatland hope that what we sow will bloom

Turbo-Christ
04:11
|

Bite the bullet
High metallic diets
Tied to tubes like marionettes
Under empty skies
Desperate times
Death technology
Broken bodies
All shaped up to get in line
Tradegy
And atrocity
In hands with desires to burn
Flashing too bright
All is tried and true
The woods will continue to hide
Machine meadows
Tinfoil wafer bites
Our savior’s temptings grow
His communion is turpentine
Dead bird’s third eye
Holy protocol
Turbo-Christ, we note your call
Cross my heart and hope to die
Eyes wide open
Wandering through the words
In the flicker of a mellow blaze
Turbo-Christ is here to save the day
Too bad no one cares, never did anyways
Veins at standstill
The sanguine dream’s over
The sky is a hand that will
Keep creeping closer
Land folds over
Digits and despair
Cities in disrepair
You just won’t learn
Silver raining
Movement restraining
Inhaling the lead fumes again
You're a shadow
Of your former self
And you only got the lightbulb to blame

The Colorless
03:28
|
|||
Honed arts of many empty days
And breathing with a heavy sigh
Learned to look at the other way
Believing everyone's a lie
Disciple of nothing really great
Putting hopes and dreams into his head
Where has he
Lost his touch?
Spending all our time
Wishing for his star to truly shine
And as such
Born through grudge
You drew all our fates with pencils,
Everything, everything is just a stable
Colorless
Unused coloring books
Plain truths
The purest light, the purest dark just paints you
Colorless
