First blush cold rush
Is it that time again
When the world’s your secret
Red wine on the lens
Feet wade fog fades
Past lock twenty four
Use the break of day
To get away from it all
Dog sweats place bets
On this pearly morn
Store your evenings thinking on the basin Don’t fade away fade away fade away
I’m awake I’m awake
Thoughts breaking
legs shaking in the infant light
The dog starts to pull
the leather wraps tight
There’s a figure bound to a tree by the mews Ropes tie wrists
Naked body in a noose
Cold to touch with a blue upper lip
You tore down the soul
Wrapped a tissue round the rips
Raw, wet, bleeding out
I wonder if he ever carried a doubt
What will the town come to think
Of the private life of a desperate kink
I see this was a desire to be
Vulnerable in a state of ecstasy
How will the headlines print their name One of mystery? One of shame?
It was an act of danger said the nova news This is the story of the morning mews

Can you see the world through frosted glass Bloodstained hands mold the grooves of the past Sign on the line with a fold in your face
Sign on the line with a blade strapped to your waist
Stand clear of the doors
Mind your head
There’s no time to be sick
You’ll be dead in the ground before it hurts It’s got us living in a hateful state
It’s got us taking in hateful way
Pull apart the heart
Taking and taking again
Like I need a reason to restart
If they jump would you catch them
With debts tied to heads
The floor is screaming with infants strapped to chests We’ll cash in a death in exchange of the best
Blue velvet sheets and a toast to good health
Can you feel it when they’re sucking it up
Can you feel it when you’re looking to duck Can you smell their skin melting into your cup Can you see the flames rising above
Using skulls like stones on their backs
Pull apart the heart
Taking and taking again
Like I need a reason to restart Taking and taking again
If they jump would you catch them
With debts tied to heads
The floor is screaming with infants strapped to chests We’ll cash in a death in exchange of the best

Buzzards Wake

Wondering if this is it
Have I missed some kind of feeling in a humid fist Now I know there’s nothing left to show
Born in a crowded room
Their feet were tapping to a pulsating womb
Now they know there’s nothing left to grow
Here comes the hum
Wondering if this is it
Have you missed the pleasure of a dying buzzards grip Now I know there’s nothing left to show
Thirst crazed lips drink from a rusty spoon
Oh what a life I hope you find the dune
Return to your hole again
It won’t ever change Can feel it again
It won’t ever change The kettle hole
The glacial mere
It won’t ever change A cast of wings
The fallow deer
It won’t ever change It won’t ever change
wondering if this is it
Have I missed the sense of feeling in a humid fist Now I know there’s nothing left to show
Its moving closer
