The Haunted Merry-go-round
Your hollow eyes across the camp and I lean forward in tired motion, watching as your thoughts dance with the flames. As I'm falling ever further into which is you, a crackle from our dead friends brings me back to leaning forward in tired motion, transfixed.

The Rug On The Floor
Grey
The fabric
Creased along a wrist
Choked on aspirations
With a wish upon lips
Skyward
A gaze
With all the lights on
Long empty halls
No one at home
The fabric
Creased along a wrist
Choked on aspirations
With a wish upon lips
Skyward
A gaze
With all the lights on
Long empty halls
No one at home

To Be Higher On A Crazy Beat
If you don’t go to dreamland, dreamland comes to you.
I’ve seen how easily the mechanism for belief can be tripped and we all hit the wire. My delusions, your delusions, take them all, falling feet first, two shoes higher.
Electric dreams with divinity in our veins. The poetic illusion of love oh baby, crazy love. Ellipsing, lips syncing in the finality of a crazy kiss with my tits pressed against you. Play for life, play for our souls, play while we're falling, two soles higher.

Blue Lullaby
I've seen heaven
In your hologram eyes
Lit up with
Electronic narcotics
Heard the subtle suck
Of the abyss
As it swallows
Felt you near
Racing light tunnels
On a parallel plane
Not so far away
If I reach out
Will I find you
Will you come
Stay the night
This sick silence
Under onyx skies
Everyone sleeps
Death stopped time
All these moments
We can't rewind
Oh come be mine
Our echos
Intwined
In your hologram eyes
Lit up with
Electronic narcotics
Heard the subtle suck
Of the abyss
As it swallows
Felt you near
Racing light tunnels
On a parallel plane
Not so far away
If I reach out
Will I find you
Will you come
Stay the night
This sick silence
Under onyx skies
Everyone sleeps
Death stopped time
All these moments
We can't rewind
Oh come be mine
Our echos
Intwined

Nightshade
I'm twirling, tracing, along the veil, watercolours that drip and trail, is this world just paint by number, are we awake or do we still slumber?
I don't know why you make me feel so high, I don't know why you make me fly inside, oh I'm flying inside. I don't know why, don't know why, I don't know why, don't know why, must be something in the moon, tonight.
At the precipice of everything, nothing's ever quite what it seems, if I jump will I reach the bottom, or will I cut out, just forgotten.
I don't know why you make me feel so high, I don't know why you make...
I don't know why you make me feel so high, I don't know why you make me fly inside, oh I'm flying inside. I don't know why, don't know why, I don't know why, don't know why, must be something in the moon, tonight.
At the precipice of everything, nothing's ever quite what it seems, if I jump will I reach the bottom, or will I cut out, just forgotten.
I don't know why you make me feel so high, I don't know why you make...

Untitled Something
I don't really know where to begin but I know why the caged bird screams." Her voice trailed off as she closed her eyes momentarily. The gaping girl with the swarming bees pouring out of her mouth appeared again. Those eyes, what's behind those eyes? She sighed. "I think I'm sure someone told me, or maybe I read it in a book, to start at the beginning, so I guess that's what I'll do."
Terminal velocity, that's what's behind her eyes. That's what's behind everyone's eyes if you look long enough. A never ending speeding rush to the end of all that is. Busy bodies counting days,...

Pathology
Say it ain't so, at the edge of divided and conquered, of madness and consequences, the veil lifted, cries unfurled.
Say it ain't so, in the end I'm a million people, facets of many pieces, seeing with all the eyes of the world.
Say it ain't so, in the end I'm a million people, facets of many pieces, seeing with all the eyes of the world.

Dreamscape Architect
In bed inscribed in the lines of the ceiling, I try to remember as I pluck from the ether. Once with desire now just need, to swing together, sow a seed.
I saw the fanciful abstraction of our generation destroyed.
Give me your outcasts, give me your lonely, sullen and worn out of life.
Huddled in corners, fallen in gutters, give me your strife.
Give me your dreamers, give me your hopeless, broken and empty inside.
Black rimmed eyes and long nights, let me sing you a lullaby.
I saw the fanciful abstraction of our generation destroyed.
Give me your outcasts, give me your lonely, sullen and worn out of life.
Huddled in corners, fallen in gutters, give me your strife.
Give me your dreamers, give me your hopeless, broken and empty inside.
Black rimmed eyes and long nights, let me sing you a lullaby.

A Different Drug
Woke up soaked, drenched in sweat, rolled on over six sheets to the wind on a continental mattress. Tornado Alley, I said. What? That's the name of this train, speed devil. We go due south from here two thousand miles. I took a blot and went to the back seat. Pay the man and let's go, we're the dreamers on the grid and the ocean calls.

Dirigible
You've wandered so far
Oh little star
Woke in the unknown
All the trees overgrown
I'm everywhere at the end
Higher than the chandelier of time
Can anyone see the light
I'm underneath the wind
Born into eternal bliss
Emerge
Oh, can anyone see the light
Through needle's eye
Edge of paradise
Past faraway
That's where you'll find me
Oh little star
Woke in the unknown
All the trees overgrown
I'm everywhere at the end
Higher than the chandelier of time
Can anyone see the light
I'm underneath the wind
Born into eternal bliss
Emerge
Oh, can anyone see the light
Through needle's eye
Edge of paradise
Past faraway
That's where you'll find me

Tunnel Vision
Could you stay, while the world turns grey? On the breeze, in the air, stinging our runny egg eyes. Trinity blinded, haunted by ashen shades. Razor teeth, gnawing the gridlock, lamenting to the sky.
I'm holding on, hanging out, bathed in the moonlight. I'm gone, knocked out, through the roof of the night. I'm holding on, hanging out, bathed in the moonlight. I'm gone, knocked out, through the roof of the night
A nuclear winter, non-secular winner, inconsequential... Hollow and hallowed vessel for the stars, our tangled bodies the only memoir. All the ways at once were...
I'm holding on, hanging out, bathed in the moonlight. I'm gone, knocked out, through the roof of the night. I'm holding on, hanging out, bathed in the moonlight. I'm gone, knocked out, through the roof of the night
