Fish Scales

When the aircon is broken
And you’re sweating thru the trash can
When you see me on the streets and
You can’t shake the eyes
And the lampshade is dimming
You’re mother never warned me
About you
Your’ mother never warned me
You’ve got a hammer and everything looks like a nail (x2)
You’ve got a jacket and everything seems straight
You’ve got a jacket and everything seems straight from here
Even Houdini couldn’t get out of this one
You’re mother never warned me
About you
Your’ mother never warned me
When the sockeye are swimming
Upstream fucking living
Set your sights on place of shiving
But your face is growing fish scales
Fish scales
You’re mother never warned me
About you
Your’ mother never warned me
About you
You’re mother never warned me

What is the voice in my head?
I can’t seem to let it go
You said you can’t see the sky
From underneath - under the sandbar
What is the voice in my head
I can’t seem to find the progeny
It’s only time
I said we gotta get out of this place
Why can’t you figure it out?
You said we gotta get out of this place
Why can’t I figure it out?
We said we gotta get out of this place
Why can’t we figure it out?
We said we gotta get out of this
We can’t get into our house
We can’t get into your effects

Side Effects

What did you do with the sleeve?
I’m sure you feel better now
Look at the stethoscope
Look at the scope of it now
There are side effects
I’ve never worked a day in my life
I lied
I’ve never lived a day in my work
I cried
There are side effects
And when the time comes for caution
And when the mind numbs
You know it’s only time
You know it’s only time
High crimes without misdemeanours
High times without the time
There are side effects

The gaudy horror of the amp light
With the coming tide of dawn
You’re alright
Hello?
Who’s there?
When does it get better?
What do you want now?
I need you to not be here right now for this
With the shallow urgency of meaning
And the typological demeaning
And the body horror of the evening
When do you want from me?
“Shake it off with a stick,” he said
Sinking at the arena x2
The body horror of the evening
And the common horror of the creeping
With the coming tide of dawn
You’re not right
Ramp it up from here

I don’t see why you have to go
We can’t stay in this type of time anymore
When the lever hits I can’t cry anymore
Why does the earth sit and wait on the plane?
Is the quick painted red in your dreams?
Why is this lottery on everyone’s scent?
We are one and a half in the sun
We are 3 in the pottery run
When I get the urge to walk in reverse
And the lopsided fountain comes to the purse
Step inside and take a slip
This house is imperfect
It sits on a sink
I saw my future son
In the green, green jungle
Wearing a bandana
I don’t feed you
I don’t feed you well

Yes Not No

Have I ever told you
about the time I stared?
Have I ever told you
that there’s a need to swear?
Have I ever sold you
a dirty dirty pair?
Have I ever sold you
down the riverbed?
(Chorus)
Nothing ever happens when I daydream
(Verse)
Have I ever told you
that you don’t need to stare?
Did I ever mold you
right down to the nub?
Have I ever sold you
right down to the nub?

Fireplace in 4K
03:54

I watched a spark just the other day
I saw it jump in 4K
I felt the ember next to me
The carpet went up
In flames
Alarm set off
The power
Off won’t work, won’t work
I called the firefighters
No one’s here
This place is burning down
The screen won’t quit
I saw a spark just the other day
I watched it all in 4K
I saw an ember fly
Fly into my mouth
It went down
My throat, my throat
It rested
In the deepest depths of my bowels
I called the doctor
No ones here
This place is burning down
The screen won’t quit

Thousand Yard Stare
03:42
|
|||
|
When science lessons got too real
And the golden age got gutted
Take your pick of the litter
You never ate the money
You never cared
You never see the funny
Thousand yard stare
“Where was I when you picked your favourite spot?”
I thought back then
You feel aloud it breaks my mouth
Go away and stay for a while
See what the tv screen is doing
You never ate the money
You never cared
You never see the funny
Thousand yard stare

I wouldn’t do that if I were you
I wouldn’t say that if I were you
Let’s leave the gas-line alone
Don’t meet the woman after 8
Put pressure on the wrist
I wouldn’t say that if I were you
I wouldn’t do that if I were you
Come down
Come down
Come down
Come down to my level
Where did the time go?
I really should be going
Please be careful my brain
One little tap and it comes undone
Come down
Come down
Come down
Come down to my level
I wouldn’t say that if I were you
I wouldn’t do that if I were you

Letgo
What are you doing here?
Jet lag
What is there left to fear?
Water
Drips into the tub
Blood
Hangs from a bag up there
And the oculus
That we found that day
And we’ll never speak
When our mouths are stitched
What a slime that day
We just had to seek
And the occupants
Reached the text

Ghost Is Slit
01:52
|
|||
|
When you head to the store
Pick me up some yellow
Why coming home to it?
The ghost is slit
Come home to me
The scene is free x2
It’s always in your hands x2
Send your antidote to me x2
Come home to it
The ghost is slit
Come home to me
The scene is free x2
But the act will cost you so
You’re always in my head x2
I’m looking at my mark

When the light is blinking red in my eyes
I see you in my head
The Envelope is silently vibrating
it opens up my palms
Hands thru
This chest
Look at my tailor
He’s eating from my jar
Canned fruit
Liquid
soap from the jailor
We’ve enter in the smoke
(Chorus)
When your sense of place goes out the window
Temporary light
And you hear the chatter of the moment
And you vibrate sound
(Bridge)
Send (send)
Your (your)
Skin (skin)
To (to)
Me (sleep)
When the crowd is thumping in unison
It opens up my head
Heading out to drive without my high beams
It’s gonna be okay
Hands out
Projection
Is a mirror
Follow it thru
(Chorus)
When your sense of place goes out the window
And there’s temporary light
When you hear the chatter of the moment
And your vibrate sound
When your sense of fear folds in on itself
Nothing rides the wake
When you feel the moment in the matter
It shatters when it shakes
And your skin vibrates sound
