Keep it like a secret. Safe and warm
Lock it in the cellar.
Nesting in the shadows of your heart
Feathers bright and yellow
Until you cough it up
Until you rip it from your chest
Until you cough it up
Keep it like a secret
Fearing dawn with clenching jaws
Animal eyes and ruthless claws
Following but a trail of birds
Following but the scent of stones
Feels like a gunshot through the spine
Digs like the hunger you left unsatisfied
Homeless, unwelcome, we abide
I’m just the echo.
Until you cough it up

Born again. An open door
into a world where we are whole.
A thousand limbs embrace our flaws.
A life rebuilt. The self; forgone.
In silence, overgrown, neglected garden of the soul
Do you wanna join. It’s free. Do you wanna join.
Do you wanna join. It’s free. Do you wanna join it´s Eden as a dream
Born again, a feeble glow
Above the cinders of the mob
In silence, overgrown. A steady hand to cull the flock
Do you wanna join. It’s free. Do you wanna join.
Do you wanna join
In silence, overgrown, neglected garden of the soul
In silence, overgrown, neglected garden of the soul
Do you wanna join. It’s free. Do you wanna join it´s Eden as a dream

Footsteps dissolve
In concrete floors
two paths that turn around at the door,
(one) slips through me
Floodlit streets and
Galleries
Galleries
Open in me
Galleries
Open in me
Paint drips and sets, over the scarred and wrinkled fabric of truth.
A burning portrait
A drowning face
Galleries
Galleries
open in me
galleries
Open in me
Open and caving in
Tracing shadows
Walls
Tracing shadows
Turn gold
Glowing scales under the sun

To The Fields

One eye closes one lung sings.
One fist opens, two birds dream
And) I disappear below layers of soil
Just like a seed, I hold delayed weeds.
Rake through my flesh, body unbraced
Rake through my flesh, body unbraced
…
Rake through my flesh, body unbraced
Rake through my flesh, body unbraced
One eye opens.

To The Gallows

A coward just like me
A coward bred of servitude and loss. Hear, hear
A coward learnt their lesson. Never to bow, never to heel.
Better beast than prey; guilt to light the way,
then turn, the cheek in kindness
Blooms and pollinates, never fully undisguised
My despair a banquet for the flies
To the gallows,
in the light of day,
in the light of day
(And)
Here
A coward just like me.
A shroud of empty words and teeth.
A coward just like me.
A shroud of empty words and teeth. Binding us in grief.
A coward just like me.
A coward bred in threats and guilt
Can’t hide from me.

My remains; a feathered corpse
Taxidermied, outlines of loss
My remains; an empty home
Glass-like eyes. Gaping holes
Feigned forgiveness, awkward pose
A frozen sentence, stuck mid-throat
Take my things and close the door
I’m not gonna come around
I’m not gonna come around
Take my things and close the door
I’m not gonna come around
I’m not gonna come around
Suspended. Exhaled
your white lies carved a yes
You can’t take away the love I don’t deserve
Take my things and close the door
I’m not gonna come around
Take my things and close the door
I’m not gonna come around
Take my things and close the door
Take my things and close the door
Take my things and close the door

Miles
To go
Mail stacked Under the door
A Mountain range to welcome us
With clouded eyes. Phosphene stars glow
We pile it up as silence soars.
And disappear. We disappear.
Miles
Hands down
Face up the envelope
Hands
Hands
suddenly appears; an infant reign
With clouded eyes by childlike pain
We pile it up as silence soars.
And disappear. And disappear.
Back to back to back to back.

I’m a crutch
I’m your codeine
Bandage and arms.
Repose and vessel (I’m a crutch).
Empty, hollow, dead and dark.
(I’m a crutch)
With my hands in the earth, let me carve out a borrow (I’m a crutch)
With my hands in the earth, let me carve out a safe space, a bed, a grave.
With my hands in the earth

Obey

Wont you obey me?
Lips shut, legs crossed
If only you loved me enough, you’d do as you’re told
Your silence defaces me,
nothing comes through
Floating in ether,
I disconnect,
lost language numb
To save me. To save me from my own.
Nothing to bind me
(To) countries I’ve lost
(And) still I’ll find you here, at the center of it all
To save me. To save me from our own.
And save me.
