freeze me
is this the real thing?
i’ve felt good before but
not like this
finally
this is too much fun
we’re having too much fun
freedom!
freedom!
free me
wrap me in your tongue
the tiny flame
that engulfs the earth
finally
this is too much fun
we’re having too much fun
freedom!
freedom!

Window Scene
01:52
|

|
your friend, so stoned their eyes look shut, is slumped before a television
you look out the window and understand why they can’t leave:
through the glass, everything is evil
a soup kitchen volunteer spits in the face of a hungry woman
an old lady stands in front of Parliament with a sign protesting a new coal mine
a car pulls up and two large men get out and convey her away
she kicks helplessly in their arms
as a woman in a beautiful green dress nears him on the street, a man looks her up and down, smirking openly
they are all terribly afraid
so are you
twisting fire, make me higher!
i’m already gone

i’ve met strangers stranger that you
but none as drawn to death or driven to harm
and the happiest look i ever saw on your beautiful face
was cataclysmic glee
i thought,
it’s as if you wanna die with me
as if we’re going to die
as if you’re gonna die with me
as if we’re going to die
the less you have,
the more you need it
the poor are as greedy as the rich
i’m not saying we’re all the same
just in different ways
we’re equally desperate
and you say that perfectly
with the smile of a hungry dog
as if you wanna die with me
as if we’re going to die
making friends with death is so important
but you together makes me jealous
who do you want more?
you’ve no choice…
well if you wanna smile with me
if you want me to smile
hell, i’m gonna smile with you
as if we’re going to die
as if i’m gonna die with you
as if we’re going to die
as if you’re gonna die with me
Twisting Fire, make me higher!
I’m already gone

it’s funny
knowing you have knots in your thinking
thoughts that would naturally follow others
but that are compulsively
jerked
away
head is glued
shut in places
break them up
make so many parts
and cracks
a whole
like pointillation
a complex dandelion
a no
no-gravity flower
break me i am there, break me i am there, break me i am there
break me i am there, break me i am there, break me i am there
i’m a bleeding tree
cauterise it
make my sap
flow tru
strum the gum from my strum the gum from my strum the gum from my strum the gum from my fronds
strum the gum from my strum the gum from my strum the gum from my strum the gum from my fronds
break me i am there, break me i am there, break me i am there
break me i am there, break me i am there, break me i am there
all i want
’s for you to say four words
i could never think
solve every problem
solve everything

Lophiiformes
04:32
|
|||
|
In certain species, male Angler Fish have a parasitic relationship with the females. The male, far smaller, bites into the side of the female and excretes a substance that dissolves the male’s mouth parts and the female’s skin, fusing them together so that the male becomes part of the female’s body, sustained by her blood.
The female benefits by ensuring that a male will be there to fertilise the eggs. The eggs manifest as a transluscent sheet, floating ine water for the male to shoot at. Multiple males may attach theirselves to a single female. One female was found with eight males attached.

make a choice
you’ve been given the tools
what’s that voice in your head making rules?
it’s your voice
work together now
greet the noise
work together now
two voices
both yours
someone give me objective picture
someone give me objective picture
all there is is sights and sounds
and pain of understanding nothing
knowing i should
knowing i’m bad for not
i am learning
quickly learning
learning to be good
what is happening? –back of
my head feels swollen and
swollen and numb
and eyes are closing
i am learning
i learn quickly
not to shut down
there are questions to be asked about the orders
noble tiler
noble tiler
tending to her squares
where she slips
there’s a finger mark forever
i am learning
i am learning
it’s ok
to go for a bit
many go for a bit
go all the time
i am still need learning
keep learning
one one
day will understand
that no one understand
just need illusion so not broken like me
i am learning
still much learning
many broken - maybe better
only ones
not fully blind
someone hold me
please just hold me
knowing how i feel
knowing no one know how i feel
knowing just need to be held
just like everybody else

trust me

love me
forever
we’ll start it tonight
you’re not good enough
you’re not good enough

you’re not good enough
you’re not good enough
lonely and scared
be careful to care for
your loved ones
your cool streak
you’re almost allowed
you’re not good enough
you’re not good enough
you’re not good enough
you’re not good enough
you’re not good enough
i don’t understand
i don’t understand
sing to your dolls
they will always be there

Free from the house, you see the soup kitchen volunteer perform the spitting motion again. You realise he was just nodding vigorously to music playing from his phone. He is doing it repeatedly now.
The car is still in front of Parliament and the woman can be seen inside,
laughing and cuddling the two large men. They are her cheeky sons.
The woman in the green dress is embracing the smirking man. He is her partner and made her the dress as a birthday present. The smirk was a jest which failed to mask his adoration.

Hey! Where are you now? How am I involved?
maybe it’s time i said thanks
i’m almost alone in my skin
maybe it’s time that my banks were broken
they’ve too long kept this river in
so let the cloudy water fill your mouth
it’s me,
kissing you hello
free
but Hey! Where are you now? How am I involved?
we are all submersible
jasmine cherry ripe, remember?
my tea of tears tasted like blood from the attic,
a dusty, wooden motion of the sea
(what do i wanna hear?
i’m deaf to my own imagination
what do i wanna feel?
i’m in love with my own imagination
what do i wanna fear?
i’m in dept to my own imagination
i can’t)
Hey! Where are you now? How am I involved?
surely the end brings something better..
maybe i’ll wake up on silent shores..
but my skin won’t prickle at the cold
and i’ll walk
and i’ll walk
heart questioning nothing
and i will walk
and i will walk
Hey! Where are you now? How am I involved?
i thought i heard someone call my name
thought i heard someone call my name
i heard someone call my name
heard someone call my name
someone call my name
call my name
my name
name
name
name
name

you’ve got me weak as a ragdoll
hold me in your powerful arms
i submit
you’re too great for me
cure me
cure me
cure me
there must be some medication
to make me start thinking right
(shut up)
it’s more like making friends
unknown territory
so familiar
cure me
cure me
cure me
now
we’ve done a whole lot of loving
together
and apart
so many eyes and lips and smells and gentle fingers
cure me
cure me
cure me
now
you know your blanket’s exhausting
it’s all i can do to keep singing
i submit
take me inside yourself
cure me
cure me
cure me
now
