Dreams 05:37
There was a war before all of this When this whole thing blows over we can expect some kind of reward you and I can have the life of which we'd often thought never could happen, never could have happened to us There are dreams I can remember, and dreams I wish I'd had Like someday I will do something that I deem worthwhile opportunities which have slipped through my hands Like collaborations and support slots with some of my favourite bands Like a collaboration or support slot with the Dirty Three who I often genuinely quote as one of my favourite bands It's those priceless little gems that fall out of your stupid mouth that make me feel happy that you're mine at night when I take my sleep I dream of being awake and of your tender kiss and how we'll make our escape I suffer these persecutions as I sleep on my last ever night for I hang by the neck until dead tomorrow for a crime I admit I did commit these scraps of redemption I claw for are futile pieces of shame I give my word at least I'm honest oh for some mercy I crave

Gulf 04:16
there is a gulf that i have opened into which all your trust in me fell every crime that i am blamed for every weakness in my bones every death among the children every day that i'm alone i bring to you no autumn joy the wind it whistles merrily the leaves are crisp and brown and dry oh winter, oh winter wont you come on me. not so fond of talking, when I left town it was in the storm of an argument I was a glass-eyed boy and had cracked the glaze on my doll of china amazingly, the integrity intact, the doll still stands, somehow much finer What I know about this feeling I knew before i met you but it's simply that our meeting has proven all this to be true

Disturbance 05:12
a rectum of disturbance the voice of physiology the plumbing of depths a worthy endeavour delight in breaking taboo faulty to a degree ongoing and featureless relentless in it's entirety a flatness and simple clarity the tension built from knowledge a self self self self self self self self self self self self-knowledge Known to be heavy but often taken lightly a pen and ink reiteration of some decline a written word or spoken spur i left my heart in the home of your hung hopes, where your hopes were hung in the home where my heart is - in searching for the truth i was misdirect, by the sins of bleached memories friends from the east have covered their ears in my company they cover their ears as we further bastardise their already bastard language in turn they bastardise our already bastard language

Hurting 07:29
With a push or a shove or a fist in a fury I waste my friends and I claim my glory I waste my friends and I waste my lovers Push them aside for the love of others My pen's run out and my pencil's broken I can't write down all the words unspoken My hands are hurting My feet are hurting My eyes are hurting My ears are hurting My heat is hurting my arms are hurting my legs are hurting my stomach's hurting my arse is hurting my knob is hurting my tits are hurting my mouth is hurting my lips are hurting my liver's hurting my heart is hurting ...
