Hope A Softer Thought
06:19
|
|||
There are some people in this world that want hurt you.
When they think of you in their mind they forget who you are, who you really are.
You can say you're upset but they wont hear you, you dont need reminding that you are nobody.
You dont need to think that their hate is truthful
You dont need to think that their hate is somehow more truthful.
I am pregnant with rage.

Sounds Outside
03:56
|

I've been listening so long to the sounds outside that i think that they're here in my room.
I've been sleeping so long with the sounds outside that I think they're here in my dream.
Where we drive across America.

Mother Rain
05:54
|
|||
Where are the borders where I end and the rest begins?
I draw rivers in the dust and wait for water.
I can barely wait.
The man next door keeps handing me pictures in pieces
Handing me pictures until Ive built it.
And although you are in the same room you wont believe it.
I can barely wait.

You Weren't So Kind
07:54
|
|||
Before the last berries go brown
hold on the wedding bells are rust the trees are dribbling
and after you the senses did flee
and your fire a scream on a wire
When she opened her soul
minutes before
your hand, your hands, your wretched hands
sounds grim
we collapsed in fray
You weren't so kind
Your hands collapsed
after the wrath
timber to the ground
all so fast
dried red flecks
on a board of chess
is that it?
Now the mother she breathes
You weren't so kind.

The Green Dream
03:56
|
|||
In the end it was just like this
a man had passed away in the early hours
lying in a woman's arms
Inside the old oak bed frame
They were both dressed in long
coasts made of fields and hills
tailored patch work green on green
resting like Egon Shiele
In the beginning it was like this
people all moving so quick in the street
my mind is stuck on just one thing
did they all have the green dream
everywhere you have been
you have been everywhere
When else can you lay beside death
and for it to be alright
In the green dream.

Hear the doves cry from the borders
olive branches burned for insulation
as the crow flies over fences
three white poppies in isolation
coldness seeps through sodden blankets
remembrance of the trenches inconvenient
but your wallet is full of money
boundaries of duty become apparent
There's no place
time of space
loud or quiet
driver crashes
As the crow flies the driver crashes
all the lives on edge now separated
broken rifles and cranes of paper
three red dots of the pax cultura
There's no place
time of space
loud or quiet
driver crashes
what would you do?
Hear the doves cry.

Constant State
06:20
|
|||
Bird beak break neck underwire
blue bird limbo sang a while
when will ugly be just fine
constant state of desire
a constant state of desire
falling down from fifty flights
ice, stone, hand bone holding tight
constant state of desire
sweating perfume weights the air
pulse of death flows through her hair
constant state of desire
Doctor, husband, passers by
shadow cast not recognised
wind swept voice to baby's cry
constant state of desire
a constant state of desire.

Crystal
03:39
|
|||
feeling not limited to a childhood memory
sitting in the long grass never ending days
it was now too
every moment seems to drift away in elastic time spacee
crystal freshness
hearing normal sounds people moving all around
like cool water on a baby's face
crystal freshness
on a baby's face
Looking up through the sky light at the peeking beech leaves
lorry reversing sounds the closest air
aeroplane comes into land
distant motorbike leads the way in a siren chase
crystal freshness
hearing normal sounds people moving all around
like cool water on a baby's face
crystal freshness
on a baby's face

Feathers Brushing Steel
04:52
|
|||
Here is my body
like a resting lake
a kind of universe
it doesnt mean to cheat
what's in my skull
different flight paths crossing in my skull
birds and planes go both ways in my skull
metal shells and fine bone under wings
feathers brushing steel
Here is my watch tower
always looking out over the land
into the nights dark wishing space
its not meant to be watching me
different flight paths crossing in my skull
metal shells and fine bone under wings
feathers brushing steel
