come now, come quickly, we’re leaving the city
this time we’ve been found out
we won’t make it another day, we simply cannot stay
please follow me follow me this way now
and, and, and, and run as fast as you can
stay and you don’t stand a chance so run
come now, trust me I’ll take us to safety
I am your home now
we will travel in the night, underground and out of sight
please follow me follow me this way down

Lungs

lungs do breathe, expand and release, exhume energy
fought through all the walls of thoracic cavities
it’s in my blood so let it run
it’s in my blood so let it run
after what I want, what I want, after what I want
hearts do bleed, contract and release, steal the greed
thought it necessary to break the bones again

Gull Lake

misfired synapse, I felt the lack
the surface white, the water black
an impulse drifts about the brain
as fractals split under my weight
beneath me, ice breaks
cell bodies, give way
beneath me, ice breaks
cell bodies, give way
across potentials, fissures succumb
first comes the shock, then the numb

Give It

why don’t you just give it a chance
filed down to the wire boiled to my highest point
I found myself in a room full of mirrors
I don’t even know if I’m here
count me as a number to find meaning
you only believe what you see
count me as a number to find meaning
you only believe what you see
why don’t you just give it a chance
separate from my space atoms buzzing ‘cause I’m mad
hypotheses don’t mean anything am I in your basic theory
why don’t you just give it a…

Snow White

apple of my eye I knew one bite and I would die
you are my Snow White I’ll be your man I’ll be your guy
poison honey pie I knew one bite and I would die
you are my Snow White I’ll be your man I’ll be your guy
I see you at the party from across the room
stuck in the haze of your cigarette
the room breathes me in and it all disappears
I wake up alone in my head
the room holds me in and I don’t make a sound
visions of you on my skin
I dream you in and it all disappears
I wake up alone in my bed
mirror on the wall keeps my eyes on you
watching you put on your makeup
I close my eyes just to dream about
fortunes that aren’t even fair

Grafting
03:35
|

|
ha ha ha I told you so
are you haunted?
counting up the lines of the rings, counting religiously
pushing feeling through the phloem
and the stoma they open
and please keep this, tying up the ends of the seams
and please keep this, grafting, grafting memories
from the tree it grows, growing in the shape you are in
and the buds they open
and a heart beating from antler branches
bleeding xylem truths
and please keep this, tying up the ends of the seams
and please keep this, grafting, grafting memories
no I don’t believe this holding up the mismatching leaves
no I don’t believe this it’s dying, dying, dying on me

5, 4, 3, 2, 1
I got advantages they’re built right in
I love your vantage point
shining and sharpened and closing in
this is the closest I’ve ever been
collide, collide
art microscopic from butterfly wings
makes vision myopic a marvelous thing I’m closing in
close

Satisfied
05:06
|

|
we climbed the flights of stairs to a penthouse loft
music and dancing promised past two o’clock
it’s far too early to leave
but we don’t want to stay to see
the death of a night so alive in our minds
so we say goodnight
and we leave satisfied, satisfied
the verve was dwindling
while we made our descent
yeah it was a good thing
but it came and went
that cigarette is almost burned out
maybe you should throw it down, down,
that cigarette is almost burned out
maybe you should throw it down, down, down, down
we’re at the top but we’re coming down,
maybe it’s time to go home

Margaret

Margaret? did I say the wrong name when you called?
holding roses at the door
a mirror looking into a mirror
Margaret like things of man
holding out a hand to greet you
holding negatives in the palms of both of my hands
Margaret? will it come to such sights colder?
I am a native daughter.
I will never need to write home
Margaret, with your fresh thoughts can you?
an oasis in the grove
I am paralyzed by a past I have never been told
time moves only forward
the body remembers
knowing and unknowing
the body remembers
(the body the body)
time moves only forward
the body forgets
Margaret are you grieving?
over golden grove unleaving
leaves like things of man you,
with your fresh thoughts care for can you?
it is the blight that man was born for
it is Margaret that you mourn for

Disappear

when dawn was just breaking
my lover and I woke up too tall
woke up too wide
the rafters gave way
the birds they moved aside
our toes touched horizons
our heads scraped the sunrise
our toes touched horizons
and don’t it feel like love
to swim right past the sun
to kiss oblivion
and still and still and still I wonder, oh no
how are we supposed to get it back?
how are we supposed to get it back?
funny how it all just seemed to disappear
and I was alright with that
I still hold them tight
in gravity’s name I swallowed the dark
beat back negative space
I carved into the planets proof of my claim
but even stars die
even galaxies change

Versions of Modern Performance

Dirtbag Transformation: "What is this?" was my first reaction. But what an amazing song. It reminds me a bit of the Pixies in how it pulls together dissonance and then resolves.
