Bell Jar

Put your dreams around put your dreams around me
every word is a mission for intimacy
we are borne of desire and someone's idea
someone's idea of fun
put your dreams around me
and we can live there
alternating dimensions that nobody sees
take me into a place that no one can go but me
every song in your mind and word in the street
alchemizes to times when we thought we were free
come inside my desire is that what you need
flying signs in your face just to get you to see
to see what I see
if my gestures were bold would you walk away pleased
or we'll leave it alone and can study the growth
of our bell jar fantasy

Up and Out
04:28

have you been there
you know the nightmare
but you say it goes away
is it a real thing
or does it hide in what we say
our happy charade
up and out
you want it just to have it
you know it's just a habit
don't you
it's no good
reading all the wrong signs
acting like the end times are today
but who really knows the way
up and out
tell me all of your things
in star cards and smoke rings
every day you're blown away
is it a real thing
or does it hide in
what we say
our happy charade

every day retrograde
remember the way your name meant something different
than now
confusing a fantasy
is it reality
which one is happening outside of my head
every night has a face
and a spiral eye
I can't look away
from the twisted tide
alive in the quiet times
all that was ever mine
is what's been happening inside of my head

Comin Around
02:56

just a tiny taste
just enough to take you out
nothin wrong with it
hang a hundred lives in your closet
I was rich last night
growin old's not linear
take yourself apart
waiting for the sun
and we are all just anyone
comin around // comin down
thoughts to stop your heart
yeah I was a human once
they love it when you just perform
turn the sign around a while
or become a satire
comin around // comin down

what you doing where you at
I dunno I'm all fucked up
things to do places to be
lemme know if you need me
dreamed I lived a human life
in a suit of heavy skin
tho I walked the earth I didn't want a thing
remember those songs that we'd sing
I do
if you were wondering
what now what should we do next
I dunno go back to bed

Body Armistice Blues
03:42
|
|||
|
limbs in a crossfire
familiar as the desire
to lay your weapons down tonight
quarantine the carnage
stifle the damage
you don't have the means to fight
hands
eyes
mouth
night
lips
breath
words
alright

Gentle Mystic
"We forget that such a big part of music is what our minds are capable of adding to it. The particular way the human mind creates or hears music is half of what the music is. Music in and of itself doesn’t have any complete value."
