Cassowary

|

Move on, I suppose
The host with the most
I’ll open a can of worms
And no-one learns
Got lost in a maze
Though sweeter the cold
And no more a mention of
The one-man show
I was in love with the world
We’d shoot up heaven with nowhere to be
I’ve cut all the ties with nothing left
If you’d be so kind
Abide with me
My echo (echo)
At the foot of the mount
Came wrapped and dispatched from where
I threw myself
All zealous the fans
Stream blood on demand
I fought your outrageous war
Til I could no more
I was in love with the world
We’d shoot up heaven with nowhere to be
I’ve cut all the ties with nothing left
If you’d be so kind
Abide with me
Like a cassowary
I am temporary
All that can be
Can't be done

Black Heart

Black heart tells a story
Blood and war from the battleground
Man down
In fact all around
See the dawn, though you left a trail
Who will love you now, Sailor?
Who will love you now, Sailor?
Move slow, like an animal
Diamond dogs
Merely loose change
Doomed heart
I told you not to feel
Lest the boy
Slip through your willing hands
Who will love you now, Sailor?
Who will love you now, Sailor?
Black heart tells a story
Diamond dogs
Merely loose change

Head Like A Hole
03:47
|
|
||
Face full of machines
The host of all things
Cut me, you’ll see I bleed out dopamine
This shallow, we go
Head like a hole
A new low
We’re moving into overload
In the car, in the fields, on the beach
Reach me
Unabated, elevated, denigrated
Out of patience
Half-pai century
In the bus, in the bed, at the bar
Reach me
Undercover, in a lover, flick a trigger
Automation
I’m your server: Be free!
“Lets shape that appeal!”
It knows how I feel
Tracked by the algorithms on attack
Face full of machines
We’re broken, it seems
Too much of everything at light speed

First he gave away
The clothes she wore
He couldn’t bear to see them anymore
Coz she’s not gonna wear them
One more time
Farewell, goodnight
He placed her jewels
In the hands of other girls
They’d never look as good
Under the pearls
He threw out everything
From her life
Farewell, goodnight
I said “I’d stand beside you”
You said “you’d stand beside me” too
Now I’m lost and I’ve lost you
In the shadow of your wings
of your wings
He donned his suit
From the day she took his name
And within his car
Before he slipped away
He said:
“My love is dead!
My one delight
Farewell, goodnight”

Feels Like Heaven
04:01
|
|
||
Feels like heaven when I’m with you
Feels like manna and it’s begun
Take me there
Take me there
Feels like colours upon my skin
Prose no meaning without the arms I’m in
Take me there
Take me there
Running down the hours
Just to be with you
Take me to the waters
I’d trade my life for a living well
Take me there

Death Becomes The Maiden
04:47
|
|
||
Will death become the maiden?
Swallowed in the time of tears?
Have I been forsaken?
Coz it feels like that
Crimson coloured portion
Your body is a feast
I pray
If death becomes the maiden
It’ll be ok
Through the cross I go
There to find relief
And the thing I know -
You broke in me a masterpiece
You broke in me a masterpiece
I only saw you faintly
Enough to give up everything
But shadows will not take me
It just looks like that
Walk me through the valley
Bitter waters be my name
If death becomes the maiden
It’ll be ok
Through the cross I go
There to find release
And the thing I know -
You broke in me a masterpiece
You broke in me a masterpiece
Lover, do i feel thee?
A seal of faith upon my lips
Wrap yourself around me
I never knew a love like this
I never knew a love like this
I never knew a love like this

Kamikaze Angels
03:18
|
|
||
Who decides?
A flick of a fatal dice?
Was it borne of solitude,
Or swung by a multitude?
So many voices talk like
They're right beside you
But you’re on your own
Here come the kamikaze angels
Here come the kamikaze angels
Fever pitch
Peer pressure is a bitch
Was something done wrong to you?
Were you won by subterfuge?
So many voices talk like
They’re right beside you
But you’re on your own
Here come the kamikaze angels
Here come the kamikaze angels
So tired
You feel the poison
Told lies - so many voices
Baptized, and made a weapon
Here come the kamikaze angels
Here come the kamikaze angels

Velveteen
02:56
|
|
||
I am a remnant
A seed of salvage
I spent my days on the cutting floor
I’ve been abandoned
I don’t want vengeance
For a wrong needs no encore
It feels not like a loss
It leads me to the crossing
It feels not like a loss
It leads me to the crossing
Who weighs the balance?
Who’s sworn allegiance?
These are the days when we don’t know
I am remnant, like many thousand
I see the light underneath your door
It feels not like a loss
It leads me to the crossing
It feels not like a loss
It leads me to the crossing
It’s the hard way
I’m living in splendor
I’m living in velveteen

True-ish Love
03:29
|
|
||
We all want to be free
What good’s a heart without a key?
We all want to know someone
Just to feel true-ish love
Ain’t nobody
Likes a heartache
And no mistake will do
We all want someone to trust
Just to feel true-ish love
Just to feel true-ish love
True-ish love

We Become The Night
03:27

Whither, whether
Fall together
Someone stopped the time
If loves’ indeed a currency
No heart’s in short supply
If the sky should fall
Wouldn’t feel it
If darkness struck the dawn
Wouldn’t see it
Cover me / don’t cover me
I have no will to hide
If love is strong then lead me on
For all I want is where you are
Someone stop the time
We become the night
If the sky should fall
Wouldn’t feel it
If darkness struck the dawn
Wouldn’t see it
When our love becomes a light
We become the night
We become the night

Guide For All Humankind
03:39

|

3,000 volumes of The End Of Our Time
I scattered them everywhere
In the hope that you’d find it
I battled my tendencies to rescue you all
All the way down
All the way down
Such a long way to fall
Christ encore
Life, I cannot endure it but I’m still willing to feel
Deep you cut me
I can’t make you love me but I’m still willing to bleed
I wrote you an omnibus of the end of the world!
Full of fantasies, miseries of the average girl
The singing grows louder
My canary, your mine
All the way down
All the way down
To the end of all time
Christ encore
Life, I cannot endure it
But I’m still willing to feel
Deep you cut me
I can’t make you love me but I’m still willing to bleed
There’s a Guide For All Humankind
For the cruel, for the blind
As you brandish your cigarette
I lament your demise
All the way down
All the way down
To the end of all time
