Sisyphus 05:10
lyrics

I used to rock and roll Now I’m just rolling this rock Just running circles From the hands of this clock It goes: tick-tock, tick-tock, tick-tock Tell me when it’s ever going to stop It goes: tick-tock, tick-tock, tick-tock I just keep rolling this rock My pain is glass All these little pieces keep on breakin’ Through all these years All these tears they keep in takin’ I’m the maker who’s become the monster he was making

The Empty Space 04:10
lyrics
buy track
At the heart of this There’s an emphasis On the moments when I thought that I knew you But the truth conspires to escape from behind your smile Please let the lies live on a while And the you that I imagine… Well I believed it for a while Now I know that it’s all a lie Sepulcher smiles, monkeys with fire Now I know that it’s all a lie I don’t want to ask questions I don’t want to know why I just want to see you through these eyes The empty space plays home to my delusions And the question mark, my emotions But I can’t stop this motion No Nor the you that I imagine… Just blink and it’s daylight Don’t know you at all My mind’s eye is blinded again Your truth I can see now This light’s just turned on The mystery is gone And this solitary heart just keeps beating alone…

Pop Culture 02:40
lyrics

Our culture goes pop Love clots and starts stop Well I know that we’re all great apes But you can’t just be what you imitate Get it straight My eyes are black holes Windows to the soul Infinite and hollow Infinite and (here we go) Time doesn’t end with a period They come one then another An ellipsis of eclipsing Planets that elliptically Orbit each other It’s a life sentence For circular crimes The sun dot’s my “I” (eye) We’ve all got to do time To be reborn To be reformed Got to first get formless Becoming what came before this And our culture goes pop Everyone- put on your handicaps Can’t go on- so we’ve got to go back Sealed with a kiss From apoca-lips Growing new legs In this metamorphosis Sedated and waiting For the beat to drop And our hearts to stop These symbols crash And meta-form The sound of creation Inspire and expire Reborn to resume respiration I’m thinking in tongues And I’m too young Not to die And I know that I must try To trade these alpha-males for A-men Here we are beginning at the end again Wait! Now let me reverse To the first verse ‘cause I don’t really think that I made my point heard I said: our culture goes pop

Internal Combustion 03:52
lyrics

Come on, come on Won’t you give it all you’ve got Come on, come on Won’t you please give me something Come on, come on And give me anything but apathy ‘cause it’s got me coming apart at the seems Don’t listen to these lyrics I know that you don’t want to hear it Just focus on the beat And nod your head like you agree You remind me of the bullet that was meant for my head Well you missed me baby, but I still feel dead Hey, hey, hey Let this internal combustion burst my heart into flames Hey, hey, hey I feel the same every day All beat up Just limping along Had to go a little further just to write this song I’m an earthworm Ants are pickin’ me apart Haven’t fought back yet But you know I’m about to start I’ve got this motherfucking fire burning in my heart

Halo of Light 03:55
lyrics
buy track
There’s a reason to be born It’s the reason we grow taller And we believe that we want more We reach up and we go: “Taller! Taller!” Toiling under the sun at noon On heaven bent as we build higher We pull away from this dark womb As we climb toward heaven’s fire We struggle morning, night, and afternoon The sun’s a light, an exit to this womb Birth to earth and womb to tomb Underneath this Halo of Light It’s a superficial animal Hungry and heard pressed to go on Ravening to reach the sky Each of us pushing our stone We build this ant hill taller A tower destined to fall Those waxen wings go higher ‘till flung from heaven they fall And we are ants that crawl We struggle morning, night, and afternoon The sun’s a light, it’s an exit wound Our towers fall and we do too Beneath this Halo of Light Keep on, keep on Go on and crawl

Wasting Time 04:06
lyrics
buy track
If I screamed any louder, baby Would it give me something to say? The decomposers do their dance And stability suffocates Did you feel abandoned, baby, When the umbilical cord was cut? We’re all numb as numbers here Our shadows are all that we’ve got This is how we do it in the dirt Life pulses inside of me But I’ve got all these insects to feed Decaying self, it’s so easy This body a gift to entropy The rhythm’s in the silence, baby It’s in between the beats I’m celebrating falling apart Because time is wasting me This is how we do it in the dirt Every moment you’re alive It’s a choice to let yourself die Slowly This is how we do it in the dirt Each day’s despair on my sleeve And death is grinning back at me Muscles twitch ‘till I’m smiling Because time is wasting me

Orpheus 05:55
lyrics

The memory sits in my mind like dust It yellows my thoughts We dance amongst the ashes We toy with what was lost And we embalm the living in the sweat of yesterday And we befriend our shadows Ere alone we stay Oh, my soul Paled at your embrace Sleep so cold Could I but leave this place Well I tried to stitch us together So you couldn’t run away A shadow’s lament Cannot forget Silhouette of yesterday

Snake Song 03:48
lyrics

Hey Rattlesnake, Rattlesnake I want to shed my skin like you But the sound that the blood is making in my veins Is the best music I can do And what I am is all I am A primate in the very end You’re just specimens in a jar to me I’m feeling removed like a limb It’s all in my head Wish I could take it all back out again It’s all in my head Hey Mr. Apple-pusher, Rattlesnake I see you’re climbing up that tree And I’m wondering if my head can hold the weight Of the crown that you’re offering me It’s all in my head Hey Rattlesnake, Rattlesnake You’re a spine so help climb mine And stitch my pieces back together again Except the parts that I can’t find Hey Rattlesnake, yeah Rattlesnake Who’s a monster wearing human skin? Going blind staring at the light of the sun Swallow yourself so this starts again It’s all in my head

Vitruvian Man 03:22
lyrics
buy track
Locked inside a ribcage Heart stutters a beat I swallow my pride And watch my insides Digest me What makes me tick is a time-bomb That’s going to implode This anatomy of mystery Feet walking down this road Let your pupils teach you a bit You’ll see me as I am A pentagram A son of man Five fingers of my hand That grips a bitten apple That’s grown inside my head And concentrates upon this matter Transforming solid gold to lead This semi-automatic reptilian mind of mine A sacred fire stolen by the serpent of my spine But I can be a golden spiral, fetal as a question mark Though my shoulders carry heaven’s weight My eyes exist to view its art

The 0 and The 1 03:02
lyrics
buy track
She’s moving in time with the tide Pulsing in rhythm with the sea The moon is pulling us tonight We are both “to be” and “not to be” Alive inside the open wound I could be the one for you You could be my zero tonight I’ll be the space between the stars You be the new moon We’ll both become the dark of night And I’ll be one with you Baby, Atlas shrugs And bones turn to dust Life and death are wed And they’re making love Our hearts beat together I pulse with your blood Ours is the space between Below and above

A Work in Progress 02:20
lyrics
buy track
This Life’s a work in progress Like a monkey climbing up a TREE Just breathing, repeating, going up and down This shell’s a shelter and I’ll one day leave And I’ll become the earth And all your tears will water me And I’ll rise up and grow anew And I’ll know that I’m a seed So strip the lies from your lips, baby And strip the flesh right off this bone A road to walk in solitude I’ll wander into the unknown Just like the one that’s chasing the zero Just go ahead and let it go You’ve tasted the fruit So just be still and know A sleep awaits with dreams that are Still unknown Just like the one that’s chasing the zero
