from the cd: devices.for.crisis:
trans.acting:
what
do eyes on the wall see?
shoot the thing and we'll all be ("eyes
on the wall")
it's perverted beauty
it's inverted
duty
the face on the cover ("is the")
face on the
covers
compacted and crafted
shrink-wrapped and shafted
but
still we're transacting
on base term reacting
one look and it's
full
it's simple, simple
it's time for the pull
o-speed:
out
on the street now
picking up steam now
look at the feet
now
lifting up seams now
just can't make the turn
make
the turn
lowesville:
1,2,3
now
you're me
just like that
line falls flat
just like that
line
falls flat
1,2,3,1,2,3, i can't see so well
shapes that
were playing are fading into shell
drag of the air that you
breathe i can taste
lifted from your eyes a sight from the
place
see up above, stone weathered down, one on one in one,
silent in the ground
now to rest a while, still some leave to
take, rely on constant rule, the way we lie awake
all the time we
own, fit to contemplate, break monotony, a peace will propagate
out
the other side, thread in place to see, some are looking now, and now
we know to be
anti.chorus:
struggle
for
syllable
something more
pitiful (not to)
see it there
(not to)
be aware (not to)
understand (not to)
even
care
labor now
contemplate
figure it
articulate (have
to)
push it out (have to)
end the doubt (have to)
force one
word (have to)
make it heard
complexity (of
one)
entity
complicates (what is)
meant to be
alternate
(of the)
previous
is showing itself now by
differing (one
with-)
in stays out
presenting (instant)
fix lays out
use
it now (and it)
takes away
what won't be missed anyway
when
you were green
time to be seen
taking giving
now you're
living
struggle for
redeeming
something more
suffering
(in your)
little world (in your)
fragile space (in your)
time
inside (in your)
made-up place
labor now
renovate
figure
it
move, update (have to)
decide now (have to)
step away
(have to)
figure how (have to)
stay and play
complexity
(it's a-)
trosity
it necessitates
ferocity
make you bend
(it will)
modify
means that you take to re-
lease your fear
(to e-)
rase what's here
present now (what you)
see is
clear
use it now (and it)
takes away
what won't be missed
anyway
m.h.:
i've
trained myself to get down with you in the night
i've trained
myself to get down with you in the night
here we go now, here we
go, it's alright
here we go, here we go, it's alright
we're
sinking
it's beginning
down and warm, no sound, it's warm
in this place
down and warm, no sound, it's warm in this place
we
coat each other, one another in space
we coat each other, one
another in space
we're sinking
commingle
stop the
time, wrap the time up in haze
stop the time, wrap the time up in
haze
never flip this side we're on, i don't know
flip this side
we're on, i don't know how not to pause in this phase
we're
sinking
commingle
skin.on.skin:
unnamed source
eloquent.tearing:
soft
blending chaos
get but don't stay lost
bring you the
poison
sing you the noise in
close to your order
close to
disorder
a light path i'm wearing
it's eloquent tearing
out
on top of now
yet i don't know how
happens everyday
ease and
instinct stay
flowing, streaming
i learned something new
today
create, deviate
look at all the ways
trouble
comes to me
welcome plan to stay
i've got two or three
devices
for crisis
intentions for and to free
stir 'til it blurs
own.mine:
look
in the eye
says you won't give up
look to the sky
pray that
you live up
striking through checklist with each one that
goes
another one falls in, complexity grows
now they see
you
and you're on the way (to somewhere)
and you'll have them
say (we're over)
now how do we know? (you'll show them)
and
you'll let them go
struggle
now over
new time
it's
new time
ruptured
spilled over
own mine
your own
mind
saturate
saturate
resonate
it's not too late
couture:
unnamed source
SinusOidal COurves:
sinusoidal
curves
running away
dissipating
disintegrating
the branch
that has broken
falling away
contemplating
propagating
left
in the sun
it's eating away
it can't decay
it's not the
way
to trial the path now
another day
spread the root
cull
to
suit
disintegrating
propagating
dissipating
contemplating
disintegrating
propagating
left
in the sun
feeding someone
the end that is coming
should
not deter
the reason why
should not defer
the change to make
now
is ever clear
out in front
it's not to fear
the spin
never ending
as if it were
a rule to bend
a life to mend
it
sends out on channel
something sure
the trans-descend
it
never ends
enclosure:
think
about the size of the world
when you're in an eight by eight
room
think about the size of the world
and it feels like the
womb
it's what you do that no one will know
it's what you do
that becomes the show
static and dynamic in trade
the flowing
energy that is made
confined, apply the lines
enclosure
brings you closer
define, supply, align
the closet days are
over
denied, the lie is tied
restriction now run
over
define, supply, align
the closet days are over
dinner.phase:
i'm
going to have a hot dog
yeah, a hot dog
i'm going to have a hot
dog tonight
you're going to have a hot dog
yeah, a hot dog
(with me)
you're going to have a hot dog tonight
it's all
your's
