light peeks through the trees ready to visit sleep pulse that feeds me electronic soul speech drum machine dreams rhythmic voice of night manufactured, still alive throbbing lulls us, we imbibe humble sound, the spirit thrives (on) drum machine dreams

what i wrote on the mountain what i inscribed in the chasm what i spoke to god what i told satan: bare all teeth it's time to feed for the sake of argument for the strength of government for the rules of order and nature to take their course: bare all teeth it's time to feed to continue along and in life belong and, perhaps, survive to sing this song: bare all teeth it's time to feed

i used to have you and then i shared you and then you got split into two the more you survive to clean up bad times and good the more i can't believe that i've held you close to me and you never leave, you never disagree when you're wet you dry out when you're a mess you clean up but how much can accrue? what would i do without you? don't say "replacement" 'cause that makes no sense don't say "you'll live" 'cause the future never exists as planned BUT i'll keep you on hand to keep me dry and ready you're the one that helps me forget about time you're the one that helps keep the frost off my mind

each one leaves a cut in me the question is: how deep? some are knives some are needles some scratch the surface and some go deeper in time the stain on the flesh spreads wider in time the deep wounds cave in they become you each one leaves a cut in me the question is: how deep? you are: the avalanche of body in the beginning and the end you are: all the cuts you're given in the beginning and the end how deeply you are moved by them... in this way they never leave you some are knives, some are needles each one leaves a cut in me the question is: how deep?

do you suffer? do you decay? do you brown around the edges? does your skin turn to leather and your fat into slime? will you relax and walk with me a while? dance and walk with me a while? the fruit born from the spit in your hand the naked truth wraps its thighs around your head i dreamed i dreamed i never dreamed again. what did that dream mean? have you ever been there? i have been there have you ever seen the crystal ocean? or walked beneath the diamond sky? did you drink fast the potion? have you ever bled white? did you scour the interior to find all that you left behind? where will the next portal open? how much life do you need to stay on this side of the grave? where will two paths meet, both parallel and complete? without my eyes i see you in my sleep before sleep you were drawn to me i dreamed i dreamed i never dreamed again. what did that dream mean?

your vulture portrait was hard to take your vulture portrait was hard for you to shake your vulture portrait precedes you you picked our bones until we were see-thru picking bones in the summer sun picking bones when the winter frost comes without you we would rot complete not torn to shreds by a razor sharp beak your vulture portrait was used as a warning your vulture portrait woke me in the early morning i was afraid you would come for me and pick my bones as i tried to sleep

Clouds 3 04:56
the clouds are woven together they let down their hair they let down their hair the clouds are woven together a frock of storm a frock of storm the clouds are woven together they fray at the seams they fray at the seams the clouds are woven together the clouds are woven together the clouds are fucking today their hair is all over the place as rain
