Well, won't you lend your lungs to me?
Mine are collapsing
Plant my feet and bitterly breathe
Up the time that's passing.
Breath I'll take and breath I'll give
Pray the day ain't poison
Stand among the ones that live
In lonely indecision.
Fingers walk the darkness down
Mind is on the midnight
Gather up the gold you've found
You fool, it's only moonlight.
If you try to take it home
Your hands will turn to butter
You better leave this dream alone
Try to find another.
Salvation sat and crossed herself
Called the devil partner
Wisdom burned upon a shelf
Who'll kill the raging cancer
Seal the river at it's mouth
Take the water prisoner
Fill the sky with screams and cries
Bathe in fiery answers
Jesus was an only son
And love his only concept
Strangers cry in foreign tongues
And dirty up the doorstep
And I for one, and you for two
Ain't got the time for outside
Just keep your injured looks to you

Well, won't you lend your lungs to me? Mine are collapsing
Plant my feet and bitterly breathe up the time that's passing
Breath, I'll take and breath, I'll give and pray the day's not poison
Stand among the ones that live in lonely indecision
Fingers walk the darkness down, mind is on the midnight
Gather up the gold you've found, you fool, it's only moonlight
And if you try to take it home your hands will turn to butter
You better leave this dream alone, try to find another
Salvation sat and crossed herself and called The Devil partner
Wisdom burned upon a shelf, who'll kill the raging cancer?
Seal the river at it's mouth, take the water prisoner
Fill the skies with screams and cries, bathe in fiery answers
Jesus was an only son and love his only concept
Strangers talk in foreign tongues and dirty up the doorstep
And I for one and you for two ain't got time for outside
Just keep your injured looks to you, we'll tell the world we tried

Won't you lend your lungs to me
Mine are collapsin'
Plant my feet and bitterly breathe
Up the time that's passin'
And breath I'll take and breath I'll give
And pray the day's not poison
Stand among the ones that live
In lonely indecision
Fingers walk the darkness down
Mind is on the midnight
Gather up the gold you've found
You fool it's only moonlight
And if you try to take it home
Your hands will turn to butter
You better leave this dream alone
Try to find another
Salvation sat and crossed herself
Called the devil partner
Wisdom burns upon a shelf
Who'll kill the raging cancer
Seal the river at it's mouth
Take the water prisoner
Fill the sky with screams and cries
Bathe in fiery answers
Jesus was an only son
And love His only concept
Strangers cry in foreign tongues
And dirty up the doorstep
And I for one and you for two
Ain't got the time for outside

If you don't listen enough
All the words in the world
Won't be leaving your tongue
If you think I'm being dumb
I wish I could clear myself
Just let me fill my lungs
Would you like to be someone where
Everyone else says
They look up to me
Actions beat your words and maybe
No one taught you to run
Just to play, just to play, just to play
Please show me where we all failed
So I can fix my words
It's time to celebrate
Would you like to be someone where
Everyone else says
They look up to me
And everything changes
But when it's quiet
I don't mind it, please just let me be
It's time for getting sleep
And all that you are trying to be
Someone where everyone else says
That they look up to me
The good dog that I am trying to be
You know that all I am trying to say was
If you think I'm being dumb
If you think I'm being dumb
I wish I could clear myself
Just let me fill my lungs
Would you like me to be someone where
Everyone else says
They look up to me
And everything changes
But when it's quiet
I don't mind it, please just let me be
It's time for getting sleep
Let me fill my lungs
Let me fill my lungs

If you don't listen enough
All the words in the world
Won't be leaving your tongue
If you think I'm being dumb
I wish I could clear myself
Just let me fill my lungs
Would you like to be someone where
Everyone else says
They look up to me
Actions beat your words and maybe
No one taught you to run
Just to play, just to play, just to play
Please show me where we all failed
So I can fix my words
It's time to celebrate
Would you like to be someone where
Everyone else says
They look up to me
And everything changes
But when it's quiet
I don't mind it, please just let me be
It's time for getting sleep
And all that you are trying to be
Someone where everyone else says
That they look up to me
The good dog that I am trying to be
You know that all I am trying to say was
If you think I'm being dumb
If you think I'm being dumb
I wish I could clear myself
Just let me fill my lungs
Would you like me to be someone where
Everyone else says
They look up to me
And everything changes
But when it's quiet
I don't mind it, please just let me be
It's time for getting sleep
Let me fill my lungs

i'm a poor boy now
You can see these scars
cut from love and ink
did you think i'd wait?
see these lungs that breathe
filled with tar and disease
slowly wearing thin
no i won't let you in
i'm a poor girl now
it's been said and done
cut from love and glue
but i never said this to you
see these eyes deceived
filled with hearts unsigned
lining wearing thin
but no i wont let you in
this places has attracted the publics attention
but why let that get
what were you doing when i couldn't see?
you took too much time
this places has attracted the publics attention
but why let that get
what were you doing when i couldn't see?

My time is over again
They want to destroy us, they've cut out my lungs
I can be star, can I?..
Your door is open and I'm ready to be, forgive me my life
But nothing, nothing like this and nothing recovers by
time
Too mu-uch,
Summer rain
My touch, my fright
My blame (stain)
My time is over again and again you're like smiling
Ghost. You're whispering carm but you'll never be heard
My time is off, is off

What remarkable defensiveness!
Anyone would think we were talking about life or death.
Oh wait a minute, I guess we are;
but if it's familiar so you dismiss it out-of-hand and heart.
So mumble something about we should because we can,
food chains and health demands.
But if suffering's unnecessary,
how can you justify it ethically?
It's conceivable that in a hundred years to come,
our descendants will look down on genocidal racists.
Sam Neil, I'd like to see you dance your way out of this one.
Think for yourself. Life begets life,

If I learnt anymore left I'd be eating dirt,
but I refuse to fall for any old platitude to peace,
a murmur heard under the din of the real world.
Those parentally invested bohemian pretensions
are wearing thin and thinly-veiled
like the hip in hippie and hypocrite.
So open-minded your brain's falling out.

Aren’t we already plugged in?
Or that is to say we are the contraption itself,
contingent on the selves that lived before.
Savanah-driven adaptations overlaid on ancient biology, nothing more.
Spilling out to trace the distant shores.
The briefest knee-jerk twitch,
the anatomy of grief that fills your skin -
perfected rules-of-thumb programmed in.
In patterns and cascades, digitally-made.
Our bodies, shutting down as we speak,
sculpted by the culling of the weak.
Aren’t we behaving plastically,
but in just the way spec’ed by our R&D;?
Bilateral symmetry
tugs our limbs to march to universal beats.
And if we were brains in vats,
I fail to see us being any more empty
or constrained by contingencies.
The heat of jealousy,
soldered in by reproductive economy;
a sense of beauty,
selected for by ancestral attentional needs;
the briefest knee-jerk twitch,
the anatomy of grief that fills your skin -

For a start, the earth is four and a half billion years old for god’s sake.
That unsavoury taste is the palpable palette of your faking, faith-fucked goals.
So let’s be reasonable and not think wishfully.
Those accomplishments of ‘man’ line the upper peaks
like teeth planted deeply in the gums,
‘neath a set of stars that twinkle just for you
(apparently it’s true though -
your every molecule unfolds from stardust,
your recipe written accumulatively
over vast vistas of time).
You can euphemise these insane holy wars
to ethnic cleansings or terrorisings,
but there’s such an obvious obtrusion behind it all.
You’re just as bad as each other.
You’re just as stupid, promptly decloud your heads

I fell for it despite myself.
A trite addiction to misery, a narcotic well,
boiled to steam. Split at the seams.
Crutch cut, bonds seemingly unseemly.
Dream time's over
and eye-to-eye with puppy eyes.
Hello and surprise!
I lost my legs.
The ability to walk is totally overrated.
I lost my legs.
Standing tall isn't all it's cracked up to be.
Lying with you is all I need.
You're killing me with that look;
that's all it took to rob my feet from me.
And what a rookie mistake
to take you as a blank slate
and not gracefully unaffected.
Downtime's over.
I've got something to tell you:
I lost my legs.
You're killing me in the sweetest way
possible, with the heaviest taste,
The heaviest taste.
An exquisite lace.
You're killing me, we are erased
without a trace.
I'm completely legless, inebriated.
Satiated.
You're killing me, I'm completely legless,
I'm out of my head.

Sneaky sparks sent neatly to the seat of your'so'selfishness bodiless.
And did your ever think you were anything more?
Well you won't for long, and not for good reasons.
Stop, rewind the tape - show trials, doctored paths,
pathetically-dressed halloween attempts.
Remember the damaged man who failed to recognise the face of his wife?
Well you won't for long, and not for good rewn any better;
to when you could have stayed awake.
Stop, rewind the tape - it's a fake!

Ceaseless praise creases rivers into eyes.
Bowed down around that gash you’re so pleased about.
Submission pose.
Prone to thrones misplaced blame erected out of bones.
Upselling your life for a soul,
and all of that hope will follow
into the gaping hole
it was switched for after the bait took.
The shakes long for good slaves to be.
Forever eighty-four.
Ceaseless praise creases rivers into eyes.
Your sexuality a one-way street, razored off.
Betrayed by the ones you love,
drugged up by that heavenly con job.
Upselling your life for a soul,
and all of the hope will follow
into the gaping hole
it was switched for after the bait took.
The shakes long for good slaves to be.

Consciousness beholds the garden in its various beauty.
It's natural.
But isn't it enough without having to believe
in fairies at the bottom of it too?
Would a shred of reasonable doubt kill you?
And I know it's tragic in a way,
that we've become aware of our own decay.
A cruel quirk of fate you might say,
but hardly germane.
Complexity could never be explained by merely postulating further complexity;
an infinite regress.
And how arrogant to assume
that you stand in the centre of a cosmos tailor made for you.
You're brand new!
And I know it's tragic in a way,
that we've become aware of our own decay;
but we're so uniquely alive.
Fear of the dark talks in tongues.
It speaks. It leaks into the streets.
It becomes mass-hysterical belief.
A mental disease.

Hands soiled with ash
I drift toward the roiling ocean
Whether my legs take me
Or some unknown instinct
I prepare to drink
To swallow the foaming filth
I let my lungs fill
To rid me of these cunts and slugs
The ocean holds me tenderly
No thought given to struggle
Accept my fate without a fight
Azure sky turns to grey
Hand dig into sand
On my knees I watch the brine
Ready to take me
Hungry for my breath
My gods hold me buoyant
I dip and flow with the tide
Finally released, finally free

I started by saving you
I thought it was wise
So you asked me Why?
Why give your freedom to stand at my side?
I said It Makes You Mine
(At least it was worth a try)
We watched our behaviour
At least for a while
Until we'd had enough
You gave in completely
Eyes full of stars
Until you had to stop
The heart beats on and off
Soon you went walking
And left me to fret
I knew not where you'd been
Something about you that smells of the sea
And you say I am all sky and rain
Please don't leave me again
So, dear woman
I'll answer you now
Breathless though I am
Silent too, as a thousand miles
Empty as a hand
I gave up nothing
You gave me everything
