lyrics

Just damn
Getting through the cracks.
But it’s gotta be done sometimes.
I figured after so many hours.
Days.
Clocks.
Ticking along.
Trying so blatantly.
To Move.
Move it said
(different voice) “Move the large hand against the short hand.”

Or figuring that time and clocks and it and going and gone could be.
Once I saw it.
Just sitting there.
Violently clutching the last seconds.
Tick.
Just a Tick.
And all these scurrying rodents never knew what hit em.
We couldnt have gotten far when these benefactors latch on to thoughts like laws dissolved.
Never trusted myself. Never trusted others either.
Never myself though.
Never
Couldnt.
Never.
The big T.
Taught
teaching
thought
Training.
Telluride.
Tick
Tick Tick
It was a tough day.
At the plant.
Budapest
Walking through the white doors.
Blocked by the sun.
Cracked wall paper down the front.
Levelled at the corners where the two walls meet.
I never could see through em.
They were there though.
Grafted like a tattoo.
DAzed.
I’m DAzed.
Good riddance.
I jumped into my el camino and headed for
(yell) wild country!
(Different Voice) “It’s just a spa”
Lose yourself in the doors.
Shining like light against the dark black boots of stomping feet crushing underneath.
The broken leaking remnants of guts remained.
Lastly they like roses in a shop filled with utensils.
Stabbed and bleeding and soaked through.
Skin just at the surface.
She measures me.
The sort of measurement one did once to determine what bled.
Taking these experiments to the soaked tshirt where her dark red spots can be seen.
A large scale demise.
I tried teaching them.
And then deciding.
IT wasnt worth it to me. Or her.
This is.
Spaaaaaaaa. (whisper)
This is.
Spaaaaaaa. (whisper)
If they’d just listen.
Spaaaaaaa. (whisper)
I could
Spaaaaaaa. (whisper)
Regain
Spaaaaaaa. (whisper)
Regain
Spaaaaaaa. (whisper)
Tick
Spaaaaaaa. (whisper)

Such an interesting style that I've never heard a band have before. Sounds so cool and weird in an almost lovecraftian way. Awesome! lord_dorogoth

all of it good: the whimsy, the drama, the wild, the cosmic; deftly dancing the line between order and chaos, between the sublime and the vile, between the fathomable and the ineffable. puts the listener in a liminal limbo you don't get to be in (and still enjoy!) often. Tim Patterson
