throughout all the mistral house
jewellight had filled my hours
recollecting
doleful as a child
-------------------------------------------
so carry us
unto this veil
and see that we should fit
among your leavened auspices
before you may still nurture this
-------------------------------------------
jumbled down to Grand Island
saw your vessel, or a shield?
a quilt amidst
the loveless rye
------------------------------------------
so carry me unto this veil
and see where I should fit
within your leavened auspices
before I can still nurture this
--------------------------------------------
all that's said
is said
all that is said
is said
last the decade
write the years
the rest of him ebbed out
in colorful tears
--------------------------------------------
throughout all the missing hours
shirley gunn was in that house
sweeping out her
motley lives
--------------------------------------------
so it will carry me/ unto this veil
as it carried her with wit
and it carried john across this space
before, you may still nurture this.
--------------------------------------------
you are encased
in me
you are you are
you are encased
--------------------------------------------
all that's said
is said
all that is said
is now said
last the decade
write the years
the rest of him ebbed out
in colorful tears
--------------------------------------------
you are encased
in me
you are you are
you are encased
---------------------------------------------

---------------------
take some time
open air
on the mind
unadorned
---------------------
spin your life
in a rising trance
on the mind
listen more
---------------------
later then
shaken thorns
in starshine
i still adore
----------------------

-------------------------------------------
your words never come off clean
stepping stones to the gloom
I pride all the finer things
couldn't they be consumed?
--------------------------------------------
i want to be someone
i want to be new
--------------------------------------------
so i bought two reversed rings
for my new iron throat
and that fixed my countenance
now i'm only what i wrote
--------------------------------------------
i feel like a Klimt girl
lying with her hair
lying through her teeth
by the pool
i wanted to be someone
i tried to be new but
--------------------------------------------
Now it's time to
chase this split decision
but that's why im
never free
Fear
is just a cost
of acquisition
so i'll wait for peace
--------------------------------------------
Alimony
wouldnt cover
what i feel for you
but for honesty
im gonna plead
To your wisdom
not an offering
just another piece
---------------------------------------------
your words never come off clean
for all your merchantry
in Venice & its harborsides
this misdirection's still seen
so i call myself
in every modern way
every modern way
that i try
when the mirror comes
i wanna be new
----------------------------------------------
[i wanna be new
i wanna be new
i wanna be new
i wanna be new] x2
----------------------------------------------
nothing to leave but the scorchedout soil
by the right hand of god
spoke on my artifice in detail
but it's still coming soon
with any odds
-----------------------------------------------

School told me
write about my life
this satin
guarantees it

Patrick
couldn't shiver right
but I
didnt want to see it.
but i didnt want to see it.
----------------------------------
Never an alumni
Empty walls stratify me
So maybe, you could fill an easel?
This could be a sequel
This could be a sequel.
---------------------------------\
When daddy makes a sacrifice
it just meant that we could see you
down in mexico you roll the shadow dice
say i gotta make a living but we're toking in the same room.
say i gotta make a living but were toking in the same room
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Growing up wished it wasn't easy
guess i didnt see this
guess i didnt see this
Piano
was my loving sequent
now it doesn't pay rent
now i have to say this

Devotee

-------------------------------------
I see the numbers this year
another live fantasy
another romantic is dead
so this is just mimicry
-------------------------------------
What does this feeling mean
like my lover is calling me
like another has fallen for me
like a lover that's fallen apart
--------------------------------------
I saw the venues decay
stirring in ecstasy
another romantic indebted
to cult efficiency
--------------------------------------
How long can we stave the sea
I'll be your devotee
--------------------------------------
Entombed your gestures were clear
to simp for some ashen figures
to pimp every sedative joy
and throw it to Casterbridge
---------------------------------------
What does this feeling mean
like my lover is calling me
like another has fallen for me
like a lover that's fallen apart
---------------------------------------
I spent the last six months climbing
through my own faults for a dime of
history, inner privacy, rising anachrony
something to line tbe coffin and
something to cut the boredom
beyond this reductive creed
--------------------------------------
I'll be your devotee
--------------------------------------

This is Not Modesty

missionary's easy when it hurts baby
my visionaries left me in the lurch
guess this isnt quite what you'd call a church
just another temple for the love we try to earn
----------------------------------------------------------
this is not modesty no
it's just my penance
so when i close this quivering sentence
you'll eat my words
this is not modesty just
-----------------------------------------------------------
a passing urge
a passing urge
a passing urge
a passing urge
-----------------------------------------------------------
i wrote this song
for the man i thought i'd be
rich and famous
no family integration
-----------------------------------------------------------
now I'm just / a sliver of it
the internet drugs and fucking
my gender problem's still a privilege
but it was a bad religion
-----------------------------------------------------------
missionary's easy when it hurts baby
my visionaries left me in the lurch

so when i close this quivering sentence
you'll eat your words
