Black Hole 03:41
New York City of the second sight Have no pity ladyship of light Sweet and sticky, and a heart beats in the night Sitting pretty renaissance hermaphrodite Television in the afterlife Indecision of the third eye Holy vision of the mystic witness pink Gold transmission Metaphysical lip sync In the black hole I can see you smiling from my phone In the black hole I can see we'll never be alone And I know, I know, I know I know it's not space and time And I know, I know, I know I know it's not the body or mind And I know, I know, I know I know it's in front of my eyes And I know, I know, I know I know it's a wonderful lie In the black hole I can see you smiling from my phone In the black hole I can see we'll never be alone And when we upload to the sun Into the transcendental fun Baby it doesn't matter how Nothing can come between us now Pa pum pa pum pum…

Don’t walk away from her anemone sound ‘Cuz when she takes you in tosses you out you’ll know You only needed be decimated by a radical heart Don’t hesitate when she entices you down Because her love is like prismatic sun of fire And you’re a sacrifice and a fool to think you’ll get out alive And when she throws you back into the sea You’re just another creature she has freed So stay in her anemone sound When she surrounds you with a thousand repealing calms Give her your broken body It doesn’t matter what you believe Just be devoured by an opulent lust And be acquired by the spell of her cosmic trust And when her phases turn You’re an open wound that never closes And when she throws you up into the sea You’re just another creature that can bleed

100 Years 03:12
Hazy golden afternoon light filters down on our old battlegrounds Muted echo’d cries from way back when we were alive When the living folded us inside Beating our hearts And we grew like a strange family tree Before everything burned out and I turned 100 years old. Now it seems we hardly existed but I swear I was there 100 years ago.
5.
Entropy 02:39
Magpie… autumn sows its darkest fold Magpie… omen circles of alone Magpie… moves in for the softest parts Magpie… from the iris to the heart When the shadows come I need you by my side When the shadows come I don't know how to hide When the shadows come they find me every time Magpie… golden entropy of light Magpie… broken open morning sky Magpie… all are killers at the yoke Magpie… smelling death and telling jokes When the shadows come I need you by my side When the shadows come I don't know how to hide When the shadows come they find me every time
6.
Pink Light 01:15
I wanna go to where the blue light turns to gold and the black clouds show me who to be I wanna go to where the pink light on the snow in the sunrise sings in spite of me And there I’ll fold you in my bones for the very last time
7.
Hopeless 02:05 video
All the ways of truth have eroded from my head All the ways to you have exploded like the dead Did you finally turn away throwing up your hands? Everything is blown away Scattered in the sand All the warring tribes of the masturbation age Rip the boiled tides with emancipated rage Did a sound bewildering Dream your last refrain? Everything is billowing Left out in the rain Please don’t say that it’s hopeless Please don’t let it be hopeless
8.
Wasted World 02:32
More than anything It’s what to do with the feeling What is the pain, What is the pressure in the physical heart Tricks you into spelling it out out out out out? Bleed on everything It must be shown ‘cuz it’s a scrap of illusion That burns your bones It melts your body It makes no sense I don’t even know you How they kill you every day Say what must be said We will be betrayed It happens anyway I got this sickness Better put me to sleep Falling feels you up And then it’s gone And when you grip it It kicks you out It trips you down And then you let it destroy Didn’t you let it just tear you down down down down down? One track double bind It doesn’t matter that this thing has taken my mind ‘Cuz now I know I am alone in a wasted world All of the time now Only a mirror now Eyes that kill me every day Say what must be said We will be betrayed It happens every day I got this sickness Better put me to sleep Uh-oh-oh-oh Uh put me to sleep

End of Story 02:59
Your secret’s safe with me You’ll never see me again All is forgiven Entering the void Your secret’s safe with me Nothing has changed I’m still looking in your eyes Nothing remains Now that everything has died And set us off again End of story Your secret’s safe with me I’ll never show my face here again All we are given Takes us the end Your secret’s safe with me Nothing has changed since I told you I would always be your friend Nothing has changed since those golden afternoons that came and went Nothing remains now that everything has died And set us off again End of story
