Great Healing Machine

vibrant blood
it don’t matter baby what you ask for
it’s just luck
call his bluff
you can reason all you want
it won’t add up
go down the street
in your dungarees
& fake a smile for me
end your search
fire it up
spit venom on the deserved
that’s their lot
scream and fuck
discard every rag & every thought
darling, it’s me
a project for your mind
for sanity
(i’ll keep you sound
i’ll keep you thin)
but no great healing machine
i think i’ve hit upon
a law that keeps us tied and told
there ain’t no narrative
they could be young, they could be old
so baby cry for him
cry for him
i see it flashing now
a speck of soul beyond repair
and so little time
to ignore what isn’t there
oh baby cry for him
cry for him

The Hole
04:55
|
|
||
|
find a membrane to separate
you from it all
like a womb for your weathered heart
and soul
it glows, it glows
there's a rat and a rolling pin
it get's you down
fix your eyes on a new desire
til morning
I tried, but nothing's clearer
blue light, won't you relieve us
baby you can try
you won't fill up that hole
time to chicken out
where'd you put the remote?
maybe there's a scheme
but maybe there's not
we'll return to a maggot state
where all belong
brute wheeze and a belly laugh
froze over
I'm tired of human vision
alright, but just a minute
baby you can try
you won't fill up that hole
time to chicken out
where'd you put the remote?
maybe there's a scheme
but maybe there's not
the violent awe
despite the rest
is it much easier than I would expect?
(fall in the hole
submit to every last distraction
comedown illusion
fill the void)

Plastic/Pure
04:10
|
|

|
it’s like a holy kind of dream i had
in the bathroom at the sink in lovesick hymn
the colours of the creams all match
and i can feel the nails defeat the skin
the most beautiful of shapes
oh well i can live the plastic / pure state
all the effort that you make
just so i can live the plastic / pure state
i am alive, i am possessed
i’m an insect rising up your neck
i won’t allow you any rest
you’re a princess in that red-check dress
i love it when you scream
anchored to the porcelain
it’s everything i need
thrust before me once again
let it all line up
you know me best
give over to a holy sweat
everything is obvious
as I become
as I become
return of the fiend again
the one who laughs
the one who knocks
you can have him anytime you like
girl in lace
bursting at the seams
you’re what i was promised, what i keep
for real
you know my ways
how everything i see
is turning into meat and packaging
but you’re still here

Faceless
05:02
|
|

|
it's the break of dawn
i'm an eagle in the wind
circling your home
i am honest once again
no use giving it up to a higher spell
i'd never recognise myself
are we numb or needless
needless at the core
can't you feel it burning on?
we're just like the simple ones
with no face with no face
with no weight with no weight
evening of the storm
draw a spider on your neck
it won't take that long
for the drug to have effect
i'm not weighing it up as i know i should
i'd never recognise myself
suck it up
did you breathe it
breathe it
it's so good
can't you feel it burning on?
we're just like the simple ones
with no face with no face
with no weight with no weight
somebody enter the room
tear down all these curtains
tear down all these curtains
if you always knew
then just go and get it
then just go and get it

Did You See The Steam?
02:08
|
|

did you see the steam there?
it came off chips in the rain
like a film
like a film
i have a dream yeah
my heart is free from all the
ageing
longing
gun-shy
gun-shy
candle-reacher
all the paths trod at night
when i hug someone
and it feels right
damned fever
even laugh at bad jokes
that's alarming
that's alarming
gun-shy
gun-shy
gun-shy

Golden Hour
05:45
|
|

|
as if the heart was overused
worn like leather
beat up like a drum
could it ever belong?
of all the things i saw in you
i made you a goddess
was that so unkind?
white water of mine
i woke up way too early today
brushed off the cobwebs clouding the way
i am an architect of change
it's a long way down to the ocean floor
but i won't be there on my own
the enormous weight of a dying cause
will swallow me in
was i a better mule than you?
everything we wanted but couldn't have
saw the thing in half
i don't want your point of view
i just wanna swim in the honey light
no left or right
i woke up way too early today
brushed off the cobwebs clouding the way
i am an architect of change
if your affection's going to waste
you have to find the other way
all beauty magnified by pain
view a future like a revolving door
matter's never destroyed
the moon's an onion and i can mourn
for everything
if your affection's going to waste
you have to find the other way
all beauty magnified by pain

Ghost Never Gone
03:26
|
|

so long to the hard-earned
you should have been a father
you're a ghost
you're a ghost
and you're never gone
and i hope
yeah i hope
that you'll never haunt
shut off in a tavern
you could have tried harder
oh you took
oh you took
but you never gave
you're a crook
you're a crook
and you'll never change
there's a hate
there's a hate
that's inside of me
cos i know
yeah i know
that you'll never leave

Coin
05:01
|
|

|
coin of friends of mine
what is the cost
what is the prize?
all these images
running round our heads like kids
i want to say i hate you
but i don’t
window of a wall
who’s the saddest of them all?
or did i begin
glamorising suffering?
i’m checking every car reg
for you
can we draw a line?
can we draw a line?
nothing that i do can change a fact
& nothing that i give can ever retract
feel the passage of time
feel the passage of time
gaping as it does
even if our dreams could make it right
even if I win the fight
endless alibi
man i feel insane tonight
were we eye to eye
in a palace of denial?
oh it all collapsed
i can’t go back
is love to be the death of us?
can we draw a line?
can we draw a line?
does it get easier?
does it get easier?
feel the passage of time
feel the passage of time
gaping as it does
even if our dreams could make it right
even if i win the fight
coin of friends of mine
why not say what’s on your mind?
adam took a bite
have what the fuck you like
you’re a cancer
not a cure
me the other side
why must you define my life?
all we have is shared
cast off into the abyss
it’s in motion
i don’t know
anymore

Foaming

were you looking up to me
when i was raining down on you
when i was every cloud in view
or did you see me true
you were never meant to be
the apple of my eyes and tooth
a carrot on a string
but you're too cute
always so vital
always so vital
no you can't fight it
we are one before the moon
i can hear the sound of bees
total electricity
total illusion
there's enough of me
oh i could drown you
come back and crown you
the final form
always so vital
always so vital
no you can't fight it
always so vital
always so vital
give it no title
