Splatter Heart
02:59

Cast a spell when you're all alone
You can try to mend your achy bones
You can needle your heart just like a balloon
But when you're splattered with blood
Where are you supposed to go?
I'm wasting, but I don't know why
Blue ashes against the sky
Bloody paint in art galleries
I watch the patrons laugh at glimpses of me
I can see their mouths open and close
But I can't turn it off
So where am I supposed to go?
I'm wasting, but I don't know why
Blue ashes against the sky
Against the sky
Blue ashes against the sky

Ocean Spirit

You're from my fever dream
where rose colors melt my head
We're starfish at sea,
turning scarlet from the sun
Clean the sea salt from your eyes
and throw away your uniform
In one misty sigh,
take a breath and dive right in
Seagulls fly low tonight
close enough to
pull them all down
Spirits ride, I don't mind
drifting here just
a little longer
You're my fever dream
Rising from the sea

Equinox

Jane rode her bike away
to a place far from here,
left the dark green hills
for some better ideas.
When you close your eyes
you can stretch the light
for a hundred miles.
Jane used to hide her face
and never come near,
when her knees turned blue
they were all full of fear.
When you close your eyes
you can stretch the light
for a hundred miles.
She glimmers, she's here
She looks in the mirror
She's noticed a change.
Please don't hide away
Clear some mental space
Please don't feel afraid
It's not the only way.

Goodboy

Goodboy does as he's told
Doesn't drool on the floor even though he's old
Doesn't dig up bones in the yard or bark at neighbors
Gold stars for his best behavior
Goodboy waits by the stairs
And he cries softly cause no one's there
When he sees someone left the backdoor open
Won't hesitate a moment
Good dogs run away, anywhere anyway
Good dogs run away, anywhere anyway
Please won't you stay, please won't you stay

I'm getting nowhere, I'm running faster
I'm breathing heavy, my head gets hotter
My temples pulsing, my ankles twisting
I hit the concrete
Wheels spinning all around
Forever and always
My legs ain't working and someone's coming
A shadow figure, he's drawing closer
I feel his cold breath, it's on my neck now
I know it's over
Wheels spinning all around
Forever and always
Second life, start again
Second chance, tell me when

Pinwheel Flowers
03:46
|

That ugly moon casts an orange glow, an undertow
He's searching for where the myrtle grows but he don't know
He's still young but why is he so vacant?
He aches, a creaking in the night
He wanders dusty on the footpath
A fly that lingers in the light
Flowers bloom, they spin like pinwheels down the silent drive
So aimless, the wind can sway them with a gentle sigh
He's still young but why is he so vacant?
He aches, a creaking in the night
He wanders dusty on the footpath
A fly that lingers in the light
Murmur in the trees
Voices in the breeze

Night Mischief
02:32
|

You look the part but I can smell
An empty husk, a hollow shell
Forehead burns and temples swell
Just cause you scream and yell don't mean that you're right
Raise the volume to start a fight
Scream and yell don't mean that you're right
Raise the volume to start a fight
Do you have something to prove?
Or something to say?
You talk so loud, but deep inside's
A little rat that runs and hides
See right through your plastic pride
Just cause you scream and yell don't mean that you're right
Raise the volume to start a fight
Scream and yell don't mean that you're right
Raise the volume to start a fight
Do you have something to prove?
Or something to say?

Medication
03:02

Feeling strange, kinda evil, undefined
So wasted I glide through the meadow
Lost in time
I need some medication for the road
I need some medication 'cause
The easy road is hard to find
on the easy road I'll take my time
'cause the easy road is hard to find
Climb so high where the crows kiss the sky
To see buildings sprawled out
For some builders to destroy
I need some medication for the road
I need some medication 'cause
The easy road is hard to find
on the easy road I'll take my time
'cause the easy road is hard to find

Wolfy

Wolfy in the hedges tonight
Whispering a secret, alright
Teeth are kinda shiny out there
Teeth are kinda pretty, I stare
We all change in different ways
The full moon shines
Wolves are mean but so am I
Fangs will draw some blood tonight
Wolves are in the distance tonight
Wolves are coming closer alright
Made a sacred killing out there
Painting with a carcass, so red
We all change in different ways
The full moon shines
Wolves are mean but so am I
Fangs will draw some blood tonight
Looking in the mirror upstairs
Teeth are getting longer, grey hair
Gotta trim 'em down with a blade
Gotta take it slow in the shade
We all change in different ways
The full moon shines
Wolves are mean but so am I
Fangs will draw some blood tonight
