old shame

i only learnt to see me
the way that you made me to be
and i learnt new ways to feel ashamed
before i ever learnt anything
i'd feel more comfortable here
if one of us would just choose to disappear
cos i see your face all over the place
it's always you no matter how unclear
first day out, a retreat
the doctor was up to her knees
i couldn't think and i sure couldn't speak
cos i saw him again that week
the way that it holds on to me
it's embarrassing, honestly
cos i'm sitting here after how many years
i'm still terrified all the same

i don't
need to call
we exchange
through our brains
your mind
with its eye
stares at mine
we align
there's a telephone exchange inside our eyelids
won't you patch me right on through the same as I did
i'll throw
you a bone
through the phone
so you know
the memo
when i think
what you think
i'll just blink
i'll just send a one or zero through the wire
and i'll let you take the end i know i'm higher

home movie website
i rip it all but it was all
in black and white
liquid crystal vision
tear it up inside
trace it back to ground
and i'll keep it alive
bend the bones and sell them
keep your voices down
laying low you know i keep it underground
boy i wonder what that fool is up to now
we call him family but he's not been around
vacant vapour vendor
take his collar off
let him roam around
he knows not to get lost
we trained him well but you should tell him to go soft
he's gonna go until you tell him when to stop
break their bones and gnaw them
shame he's such a fiend
going crazy for those bones
they broke his teeth
boy i wonder what he'd say if he could speak
i know that he could use a little gum relief
canine calcium cruncher

meat grinder

foreign footsteps up the bank
i know who it is but its a secret
we sit at the top of the crane
he pulls it out - 'mascot man'
which one are you having?
the dream team, it's in my nightmare
undefined but still living there
the way he asks me that question
"fit for a thing"
the serpentine letter S,
i can't catch it but he asks me if i like it
maybe something more attainable
it's not the noise it's the sound of the noises
can you tell the scratch from the itch
"don't give me none of that shit"
lean in for an itch
parting ways
leg by leg
stepping in to the meat grinder

well I'm heading out down to the dock where it's only me
and I'm floating away like the bottles out at sea
hope my messages washes up on a lonely atlantic beach
lifted away in a wave to a place you can't reach
i'm cracking like pavements i dodge on my way home
swimming with a sinking feeling pulling me like a stone
what you ask me to do you should know it will be incomplete
and the meanest thing i could tell you is the reality
i look around and see i sure got more than i need
so i throw it all out and i grow it again from a seed
i'm cracking like pavements i dodge on my way home
swimming with a sinking feeling pulling me like a stone
it's closing me in like a shell, but not like a home
summerhouse strangling me, some sick sad syndrome
well i'm working on learning my way out of here alone
and the further away that i get the more i feel at home
i'm cracking like pavements i dodge on my walk home
swimming with a sinking feeling pulling me like a stone
the further away that i get the more i feel at home
