you were not there at the start
you were not there at the end
anything that you can know
superficial/relative
nothing left to dance to
anonymous/malignant
orbit after orbit
so far from home
seeing all within yourself
afraid to die alone
molecular configuration junkie

wearing the same disguise
imperfect/torrential the path
function amid the blood
silence is fun in the end

born on christmas day
what a gift you are to me
and i feel you/in every girl
you train and send my way
sentimental nothing
squeezing hand degrades
flamboyant end
refracting through your tears
well of course i love you
you’re my splendid bitch
well of course i love you
you’re my splendid bitch
houses full of holes
illusive bricks are meaningless
misery/you talk too much
i’m in a desert of mirrors
sentimental nothing
squeezing hand degrades
flamboyant end
refracting through your tears
well of course i love you
you’re my splendid bitch
well of course i love you
you’re my splendid bitch
your love is realized
in the presence of death
terror lies/acceptance wakes
make my darkness conscious
well you know i love you
you’re my splendid bitch
well you know i love you
you’re my splendid bitch

where i am i don’t know
i’ll never know you must go
in the silence i’ll never know
you don’t know i will go
look outside have a dream
look inside wake arise
insomniac irritates
in the wind fly and fly
helpless brain behind the eyes
and to hell with being free
intimate hesitant
hear the radio it’s not the song
it’s the recording of the song
children taught their history
sequence of violence spectacle
my hand is pierced my heart is caught
sun shining on nothing new
death inside i can outlive
try again fail again
try again fail better
being broken reassembled
all the plants and minerals
subtle pleasure the last time
close her eyes i’ll never know

if there’s something comforting
in the unfamiliar
when you advance/no more to fear
write a phrase or a letter
there’s no real direction
in a chaos of whims
my petrified fountain of thought
there’s no cure for that
horrified by the cruelty
sucking life from these flowers
bury forever/all the dead things
we carry ‘round inside
there’s no real direction
in a chaos of whims
my petrified fountain of thought
there’s no cure for that
the solitary tiger
mixed in with a pack of dogs
they poisoned him/with smiling teeth
begin to cease to be
there’s no real direction
in a chaos of whims
my petrified fountain of thought
there’s no cure for that

don’t worry about
looking for answers
nobody comes
no one goes
don’t try and make sense
of the irony
it’s all a mask
just peel it off
just ‘cause your heart is beating
don’t mean you’re living
like thinking/like praying
like talking to a friend

fallen sparks
within the heart
are as great as the universe
now we gather
to go back home
no such home
only millions
of last moments
kindest/bravest
warmest/most wondrous
i’ve been loved by something strange
now we gather
to go back home
no such home
only millions
of last moments
novelties
all that’s now
never get to touch the master
carnivorous
flower at the
end of a stalk
transparent
fire

my face is gone
my shadow self
our bones ache only
while the flesh is on them
infiltrated/atrophied
infiltrated/atrophied
jupiter gives wisdom
to those he would lose
dance first
think later
the limit of love is
always needing a partner
light the candles
light the candles
they’re in love
fuck the war
freedom is violence
raspy incurving
i’m on the trail
of the unknown
