It only takes one burr
under the saddle.
And you and I babe
oh we do battle.
Seems like we're just too,
thinskinned,
thinskinned,
thinskinned,
thinskinned.
I've got my brother's car for the weekend
a full tank of gass.
Let's drive north
till we hit the river
then let's head west.
This old coast town
Is full of taverns and motels.
Let's stay here for a while.
Now, I'm doing my best
to see your point of view,
If you can do your best
to try to see
that I'm not such a bad guy.
I'm just a little
thinskinned,
thinskinned,
thinskinned,
thinskinned,
I can't believe it would be better
if I was hard as nails,
and you were tough as leather.
Oh no,
I can't believe it would be better
If I was hard as nails,
I can't seem to find
Anything to take my mind off you.
There's too much open space,
There's too much sand in my shoe.
There is no saving grace,
It's just these crashing waves of truth.
It's just these beachcomber blues,
It's just these beachcomber blues.
I watch the weatherman,
And I follow every pressure change.
'Cause when the change comes,
My beach is filled with our debris.
I walk this ocean shore,
Don't know what I'm looking for, it's true.
It's just these beachcomber blues,
It's just these beachcomber blues.
I walk this ocean shore,
Don't know what I'm looking for, it's true.
It's just these beachcomber blues,
It's just these beachcomber blues.
When the sun comes up,
I step out and meet the day.
I let the rising tide
Rinse off this deadened motel haze.
I'll never settle down,
I guess I'm always passing through.
It's just these beachcomber blues,
How is it we have just known of each other
And we talk like old friends
And we kiss like young lovers
And we have nowhere to stand
Except next to one another
How, how, how, how, how, how is it?
How is it that just weeks before we met
We dealt with all our bullshit
Turned the page on pain and regret
Our hearts exchanged blank checks
For any amount to cover any debt
How, how, how, how, how, how is it?
How is it that we swim and drink pink wine
The richest kids without a dime
Our bank accounts are filled with time
Plenty of trips and country rhymes
Whatever you wanted
Whatever you needed
Whatever you asked for
You received it
Whatever you borrowed
You tended to keep it
Whatever you told me
I believed it
And, buffalo gal, don't you go out tonight
I'll do my best to keep you inside
Away from the rest of those looks that you get
From the boys who are passing you by
Passing you by
I don't blame you
For retreating
I couldn't sustain you
Or keep you from leaving
And I was a fool
For ever thinking
I could change someone
Whose affections were so fleeting
So, buffalo gal, don't you go out tonight
I'll do my best to keep you inside
Away from the rest of those looks that you get
From the boys who are passing you by
Passing you by
Buffalo gal, don't you go out tonight
I'll do my best to keep you inside
Away from the rest of those looks that you get
From the boys who are waiting in line
Heather, I'm on a plane that I pray won't get off the
ground
It's a perfectly clear day, but I've got storm clouds in
my mind
So foolish, why I do this, why I'd do it all again
Heather, remind me how this ends
Give me a few days and I'll be feeling fine
I can't stop moving, I move backwards in time
To where I left you, it was so good, we both pretend
Heather, remind me how this ends
When I call you up, check the timbre of your voice
Don't let it drop when you hear your little boy
Send money every Friday, on that you can depend
Heather, remind me how this ends
Heather, remind me how this ends
I drink one bottle of wine each night
To help me get over you
And I've grown quite fond of what
One bottle can do
Puts me sleep
Without a dream
Without a thought
Of anything
And when I wake
Day's half-way done
It's time to start
Another one
So, i drink one bottle of wine each night
To help me get over you
And I've grown quite fond of what
One bottle can do
And I go beyond
Where the tears come
Way past the urge
To just pick up the phone
My mind's a blank
It's better off that way
Whatever it takes
To feel okay
So, I drink one bottle of wine each night
To help me get over you
And I've grown quite fond of what
One bottle can do
And I've grown quite fond of what
Autumn ends, winter comes
And everybody's gone
Days grow short and pull apart
And now the nights are long
We winter wrens have made amends
With the silence and the cold
So leave us to our own device
We winter wrens are fine
So, just leave us to our own device
We winter wrens are fine
'Cause there's no mistake of the call we make
When there's no one else around
'Cause there's no mistake of the call we make
I'm quittin and givin' up on bein' good enough
My body is bones and blood, my heart is pure
And when the rider comes and tells what I have done
I'll gladly sing along, won't change my tune
And in the end St. John says all things shall be revealed
Like violence, like violence
Like violence in the snowy fields
And on a night like this when nothing stirs about
If I hear the hoof beat pounds I will not turn
I will not be afraid of how I spent my days
I may go down in flames but I shall not burn
And in the end St. John says all things shall be revealed
Like violence, like violence
Like violence in the snowy fields
And in the end St. Johns says all things shall be
revealed
Like violence, like violence
It wasn't my fault
She led me here
Canadian plains
To disappear
It started one night
When I'd had too much
Of being alone
Of collecting dust
So I went to see her
Like a thief in the night
I gave her my death
And stole from her life
And it killed me each time
That I saw her man
A friend of mine
If you could call me a friend
And on Sunday morning
The preacher preached on deceit
He spoke of a fire
Of unspeakable heat
So now I drive
Cross frozen plains
Nowhere to hide
Just to escape
I traded it all
To match my desire
I traded it all
I traded for fire
I traded for fire
And Father forgive me
Because I knew
What I was doing
I set a snare
For myself and fell headlong
Into ruin
Don't let me settle
Down in a small northern town
To die
Burn my lips
On the way, on the way down to destruction
There are places where I find my rest
Make no mistake, make no mistake of my intentions
Your arms are the place I like the best
I cannot lie to your face
Your lips your skin, your face, your hips
Or your waist
I do not dare to journey there
When I do, I find no means of instinct
On the way, on the way down to destruction
There are places where I find my rest
Make no mistake, make no mistake of my intentions
Your arms are the place I like the best
I have tried to run away
But I am so unhappy when I'm alone
So here we lie, another night
I am a fool when I walk back to your door
On the way, on the way down to destruction
There are places where I find my rest
Make no mistake, make no mistake of my intentions
Blow in through the door
Like a ghost that is nice
My crosshairs align and my grip is tight
My friends are bullets
That I shot at tin cans
No feathers no wings
No feet and no beaks
And no place to land
No place to land
When you finally come home
Don't be surprised
If there's rust in my throat and red in my eyes
My friends are knives
That cut out my tongue
No songs and no beats no words left to speak
Just utters and grunts
Utters and grunts
Drive ten thousand miles
Just to tear off your arm
Just to play the guitar and recite a poem
My friends are bottles
That I dropped on the ground
They shatter and break
And they always take
Too long to come home
I was there I heard the crackling of the palms
He came upstairs and had the curtains drawn
This is my body
Keep your stomachs full
This is my blood
Let's get drunk on soul
Got me in a sleeperhold
And you won't let me go
Blessed are those who have no clothes
For sunlight is their fashion
And blessed is he who sleeps on the streets
But his roof is sheltering sky
And blessed be the broken one
For whom grace daily unfolds
Got me in a sleeperhold
And you won't let me go
I was dropped down on a dirt brown field
I watched the sun rise over me
I wanted the heavens to open like a saloon door
But all I heard was a cock crow
What have I done? I cried inside
And my spine turned ice cold
Got me in a sleeperhold
And you won't let me go
I'm tapping out
I'm tapping out
I'm tapping out
Cause it's all too beautiful
I'm blacking out
I'm blacking out
I'm blacking out
But I don't want to go
I'm blacking out
I'll take you out again tonight when you get off I'll be outside, outside
Turn the key and head downtown find a new place honey to hide out, hide out
Bad habits aren't hard to find nice dinners and the import wine, white wine
New blue jeans and leather boots slender means brings burgundy blues,
Burgundy blues
Burgundy blues, burgundy blues, burgundy blues
Burgundy blues, burgundy blues, burgundy blues, burgundy blues
I got a lead on a long shot colt he's got speed and he's just been broke,
He's been broke
Take the money that I set aside walk up to the counter honey it's post
Time, post time
If we catch a break we know what we'll do it's our chance to take we got
Nothing to lose, nothing to lose
Nothing to lose, nothing to lose, nothing to lose
Nothing to lose, nothing to lose, nothing to lose, nothing to lose
Unfazed by pain, unfazed by love, unfazed by rain that won't let up
Unfazed by debts I'll never pay, unfazed by blonde hair turning grey
Unfazed by dreams we left behind, unfazed by jokes there's no punch line
Unfazed by death she's my blushing bride, unfazed by living until I die
We'll take a handful of quarters from the dresser drawer
There's a bar around the corner with no cover charge, no cover charge
They can't kick us out till half past two
We can dance all night if we fill up the juke, fill up the juke
Fill up the juke, fill up the juke, fill up the juke
surely there is a mine for silver and a place where
they refine gold
iron is taken from the hills and copper is taken from
the ground
(chorus)
so where is the place of understanding and where can
wisdom be found?
whoo...oo...ooo...
the bird of prey has gazzed upon it nor falcons i have
seen
it's never been passed by the fierce lion or trolled
upon by earthly beast
(chorus)
so where is the place of understanding and where can
wisdom be found?
whoo...oo...ooo...
pure gold can not be tradded for it
please don't mention crystal wear
the topez of africa can not equal it and
fine pearls fail to compare
so where is the place of understanding and where can
wisdom be found?
wisdom can be found in the fear of the Lord and
understanding knows who depart from evil
(2x's)
When I have my day
I come down from the hills
With light on my face
And death at my heels
My voice it bends
But my voice does not break
When I have my day
I enter the white gates
With chairs lined up straight
For all of God's children
They wonder the last knot
"Are your fingers long enough to play?"
When I have my day
My brothers learn courtly
With daggers in hand
Hatch plans to disrow me
But my brothers are precious
And the chaft must be burned away
When I have my day
The song that I sing
Carries back to the source
And back through them and [me]
Did you know others
Your voice, your king
1, 2, 3, 4
Sometimes I try
To be a fighterpilot
Cause you can't see my eyes
Through the goggles and helmet
And I'm always right
Alone in the cockpit
If I lose my mind
I'll just press eject
And drift down like a lazy dove
Oft' times I love you quite cowardly
But I still think it's love
I still think it's love
Do you see the shadow I cast?
Or the light behind my head?
Am I your winterprince?
Are you my springtime hen?
And when I lay sick
And fevered in a bed
Would you read from the scriptures?
Repeat what the prophets said?
A voice that cries out from the mountain above
Oft' times I love you quite cowardly
But I still think it's love
I'm waiting for the train
Subway that only goes one way
The stupid thing that'll come to pull us apart
And make everybody late
You spent everything you had
Wanted everything to stop that bad
Now I'm a crashed credit card registered to Smith -
Not the name that you called me with
You turned white like a saint
I'm tired of dancing on a pot of gold-flaked paint
Oh we're so very precious, you and I
And everything that you do makes me want to die
Oh I just told the biggest lie
I just told the biggest lie
Brown grass and peeling paint
Dirty glass of lemonade
And your back's about to break
Cause it's more than you can take
Is that what you were talking to Jesus about?
All those things you can't figure out
You've been chasing those dreams for so long now
But your devotion turns to doubt
And the people you hoped you would meet
But you're still here with me
When you lay down by my side
When the lights are all out
You've got no corners where you can hide
Especially from yourself
And you kiss like a corpse
And you smile like a crow
And my threads are too short
When your wounds are exposed
And the places you hoped you would see
But you're still here with me
And I sleep with your ghost
The dotted outline of what you were
But what I miss most
Is when you'd draw near
Cause this house would rattle and shake
When we'd stay up late
And the grass was green and the glasses were clean
And these walls were covered with brand new white paint
And the person you thought you'd be
But you're still here with me
You're still here with me
But you're still here with me
And you might be surprised
By how much I love you
And the coals that burn white in my chest
And you might be surprised
By how oft' I think of you
But ambition has encamped around me
Dark toothed obsession has taken your place
Open your eyes
You are better than me
Selfish and pitied your man has become
You can't recognize
I'm too far to be reached
And my gaze looks beyond your face
And my heart has turned greyed and dull
So do not love one
Who can't love you as much
Go ahead and turn this dog loose
And do not think of one
Who does not think of you
Let this dead branch shake alone
Find another who can love you strong
When I come we are defenseless
Can't make out the features of a friend
We lie down in a bed unmade
But the darkness, it lives
When she starts to dream
Her head turns mean
Wake up baby as you toss and turn
"I had another one"
Tell me all about it, girl
"I felt those hands around my neck,
squeezin' till I couldn't breathe"
But I say, "My love, my love.
Put you to sleep."
And I can't undo the wrong
That other men have done her
I just try to get along
And love her as no other man has loved her
When she starts to dream
She starts hearing things
Wake up baby while you toss and turn
"I had another one"
Tell me all about it, girl
"I heard those footsteps
comin' up from behind me."
But I say, "My love, my love.
Put you to sleep."
Don't worry bout your baby boy
He's asleep beside us
Don't worry bout the things we've done
The Holy Ghost, he guides us
Finds us and keeps us
Feeds and defeats us
In my still life your face in the fruit appears
You're everywhere, baby
On my bike ride your hips are the hills
I can't escape you lately
I wanted to tell you
About a bright red bird that passed my train
But you're asleep tonight
And your tonight is my yesterday
And all those blues because there's no view
Of the city from your window
You've made a nest out of credit card bills
So, honey let the wind blow
My feet have grown so tired
My legs they ache each night
Because you know the hardest thing to do
Is to dance in step in each other's shoes
We drop the beat
We can't keep time
We're standing still
So what if I told you the truth?
'bout this grey life I'm livin'
I've given myself to you
Completely without consideration
So what if you did with him then?
What would I do?
I believe in second chances
For everyone but you
I don't think you are the kind
To go steppin' out on me
But I've got a grey life in mind
Where I can see what other men see
So what if you did tell me lies?
But then told me the truth
I believe in second chances
For everyone but you
So what if you did break my heart?
I wanted to work things through
I believe in second chances
I found myself
Again on the morningwatch
For those of us who can not sleep
Just because of the things we've done
We wake up early with the starlings
And as night's sins
Fade away and
Bee stings lose their swell
So begins my day, so ends my hell
And as night falls I
Prepare my bed and
Curse the pillow's stony lies
For just as sure as my body begs for rest
I feel myself descending
The way I often do
I get the feeling that there's no ending
When I can't afford to lose
So, let me pass them by
Don't try to state your case
I've had my fill of trials
And I will be on my way
Just don't leave town
When you're down, down, down
Just don't give up
On the place you've grown to love
'Cause when you turn your back
Bad feelings attack
Come on, now, we know my hands been played out
With city lights tonight, these stars just fade out
I need to stretch my legs, I need to start running
I feel it close, I feel a breakdown coming
Just don't leave town
When you're down, down, down
Just don't give up
On the place you've grown to love
'Cause when you start to pack
So Jenny place your bets now
If you've got something
Your face says a full house
But I think you're bluffing
It's hard when you know how
To play this game with precision
I think I should go now
It doesn't look like I'm winning
And you starve me
Until I start to lose control
And I could finish my plate
But you're just serving me spoonfuls
So Jenny place your bets now
If you've got something
But don't hold your breath girl
Cause I've got a feeling
Because when I start losing
Is when I start cheating
And I work hard
To stay in this unending game
And when you finally show your cards
You'll be the only one who's playing
So Jenny place your bets now
If you feel something
Cause I'm on the bus downtown
If you are with him
If you are with him
In the summertime
You better love me in the fall
You should let me know
If you love me at all
If you think of me
If you think of me
In the summertime
Then darling, give me a call
You should let me know
If you think of me at all
I rode down to the swimming pool
Let out my breath and sank like a stone
It was dark and it was cold
So I swam to the surface
How could you fall in love with the target, when I am the
How could you spend a night with the shadow, when I am
the sun
All your attention for the corkscrew when I am the wine
All your affection for the handbook when I am the choir
Love is blind and the lights are out
You couldn't live with it, now you can't live without
I'm in love with your love, I'm in love with you now
I'm in love with your love, I'm in love with your doubt
You spend your time learning your lines when I wrote the
play
You've got your hands all over the handle when I am the
blade
How could you fall in love with the color, when I am the
How could you give yourself to the smoke, when I am the
fire
I don't think about you much these days
You gave me no choice with the choices you made
I can't seem to get far enough away
Your coat, your keys,
Your blankets and sheets,
Your favorite blue jeans
I'm holdin' on to anything
Your chin, your cheek,
The shape of your teeth,
Your voice when you sing
I'm holdin' on to anything
The longer I hold on, let you drag me around
The harder I fall, when I finally fall down
I'm holdin' on...
I know it's wrong
I'm holdin' on
I know it's wrong
Your past, your pain
Your shaving cream
The careful way that you cut me
I'm holdin' on to anything
The longer I hold on, let you drag me around
The harder I fall, when I finally fall down
I'm holdin' on...
And I know it's wrong
But I put my fate
In the hope that you might
Be drawn to a fool not as strong
I'm holdin' on to anything
The longer I hold on, let you drag me around
The harder I fall, when I finally fall down
I'm holdin' on...
And I know it's wrong
I'm holdin' on
I know it's wrong
I'm holdin' on
I know it's wrong
I'm holdin' on
I had a true love from Hannibal
Where the Mississippi turns flat and wide
We'd lay out on the sandbars
And fall asleep to the barges and the fireflies
And I killed my true love from Hannibal
She was nineteen and I was twenty-two
Summer was ending and she was leaving soon
To study writing on the east coast
And I worked in my father's shop
Fixing air conditioners and heating pumps
Going to college never made much sense to me
I wanted to keep my true love close to me
The summers are hot in Hannibal
The summers there are unbearable
So we'd steal down to the water's edge
And cool off in the river's ebb
One night we decided what we would do
Swim to the middle 'til our strength gave out
Where the current was strong and deep
Together we'd be pulled down to sleep
So we swam 'til our bodies were weak
I watched my true love get washed out to sea
I felt a terrible grip from beneath
The river took her but it didn't take me
In St. Louis there's a prison cell
It'll be twelve more years 'til I get out
When I do her father says he'll shoot me down
If I don't do it myself
Most days I just try and sleep
I dream of Hannibal when it was in between
It's not quite day and it's not yet night
I gave you fools gold days on the weekend, babe,
The rest o' the week I'm lost.
I watched my heart collapse in another's grasp,
I haven't counted the cost.
It's just a fools coin toss,
Fools coin toss.
It's just a fools coin toss,
Fools coin toss.
I give you tumble-weed nights,
Babe, I know it ain't right to pass through your sheets as I please,
It's just a life of excuse when you don't have to choose the direction or
Speed of the breeze.
Even fools have needs,
Fools have needs.
Even fools have needs,
Fools have needs.
Take the best of what you have found in me,
*Babe, leave the rest with my love likes won't always be*
I gave you half of me then but if you let me back in
I'll give you everything,
But I should warn you in advance there's a pretty good chance,
You'll take all of me, it'll sting.
It's just a fools gold ring,
Fools gold ring.
It's just a fools gold ring,
I thought about this for some time
Especially when you're apart from me
Seemed too dark, I thought, to hurt
But then the darkness never bothered me
If you pass on, I don't want to be alone
So baby, let's die at the same time
Baby, let's die at the same time
Baby, let's die
I pray it not come too soon
I pray it be without pain
May it not be by avalanche
May it not be by hurricane
May it come to us both just as day turns into night
Baby, let's die at the same time
Baby, let's die at the same time
Baby, let's die
And if you drink the poison down
I won't forgive you my defeat
If you love me as I love you now
Then you'll save a drop for me
If we taste fire, or if we both see paradise
Baby, let's die at the same time
Baby, let's die at the same time
Your life's work, is making me hurt
Whether you mean to or not
It's your desire, that we enter these fights
And you always end up on top.
A little heartache well it's a small price to pay
If you know you can get what you want
It's just your way, to keep raising the stakes.
Your in love with the thrill of the hunt
But it stops tonight, for these wounds have yet to heal
To call out into the dark, and get no reply
That's something you should feel
I've moved along, packed up my shit
If you find anything I left behind, well, you can have it
Let it clutter up your life, the way you cluttered up mine
I can't explain this threshold for pain
I have to believe, it came from a love
A love misguided it's true, cause it was guided at you
I had no idea, what you were capable of.
I walk away, I don't have to explain
You know good and well how you treated me
So move along and call off the dogs
Go ahead and find your next prince
Cause it stops tonight, though these wounds have yet to heal
To call out into the dark, and get no reply
That's something you should feel
I have moved out, packed up my shit
If you find anything I left behind, well, you can have it
Let it clutter up your life, the way you cluttered up mine
I stand on shattered mirrors,
Petrified, absorbing, reflecting, transmute,
...In dreams where ardent shapes cover the barren
horizon, For a sudden moment i saw her,
Wearing no veils of illusion, hidden,
manifested but unseen
...To experience the inmost bloom,
One must pass the guardian of the threshold
And approach the locus of bone,
Are our dreams solely wandering
A Part of Darkness
Restrictive,
The gods below,
Hear them lie,
Forever by my side,
Restrictive,
Consumed upon the abyss,
Devouring,
Devouring their souls,
Live far behind,
Live far behind.
Awakening decay,
Follow me,
Real laughterdead,
Walking dreamers,
Why?
Hear.
White lies,
The bleeding rain,
Rough dreams,
They burn sour skies,
They burn sour skies.
Awakening decay,
Follow me,
Real laughterdead,
Thousands of bayonettes,
inside my chest,

Uncommon pain,

Inhale, waken, exhale, escape,
Upwards, higher -
follow the cosmic horns towards zenith,
Ascend, along the sacred centers,
The whirling discs of energy, follow the solar path,
The path of fire, penetrate and absorb,
Reach the fire which burns not -
To hunger nothing, but the absolute, invoke the north,
Invoke the heights, fire from above, falling fire,
Red as blood, heart, cosmic fire, coiled serpent,
Purification, regeneration, downwards, deeper -
Follow the roots towards Nadir, descent,
Along the sacred centers, the dynamic centers,
Follow the lunar path - bath in silver, trail of bones -
Fluidity of forms, spirit-water - water-wheel,
Breaking the barriers of the two-eyes
...Open...
To hunger nothing but the absolute,
Invoke the south, invoke the depths,
Now encircled by all the awakened beings,
Enter, into a new circle of absolute being,
Eradicate and reform the internal Mandala,
To not journey is to decay,
Now here, now there, not there, not here,
Ascension towards the eternal,
Those so warm and emotional ways of your life i shall meet with scorn,
And finally my body and soul will be forgotten by you
Who desperately tried to corrode my visions. . .
A pale figure, impale the space,
Split in two, double-coiled - enter, into the womb,
1000 arms reach out, ash-trees, ash-three,
1000 eyes gaze upon you,
Step forward and join the fog,
The silvery space, then,
Share a moment with the dark ones,
A black lotus, facing downwards -
The flow of seething visions, the chameleon from an abyss
Which all things come,
The great one whose name has no end,
Impale the pale, impale the essence,
I shed off the chameleon skin and open the atlas of
being, 1000 arms guide from chaos to clarity,
What is rational for my mind,
is not,
is not,
is not,
for yours,
I have closed my eyes,
with my hands I feel,
the gleaming rays,
horizontal,
vertical.
I don't want,
rays,
I don't want,
with those rays,
I don't want,
with those rays,
I don't want,
with those rays,
gleaming rays,
horizontal,
and vertical,
I don't want,
with those rays,
I don't want,
with those rays.

My mind.
I am here,
to walk alone,
I am here,
to walk alone,
I am here,
to walk alone,
walk alone,
I have closed my eyes,
with my hands I feel,
I feel cold rays,
gleaming rays,
vertical,
with those,
with those rays.
I have forgot those teachings,
those truths,
absolute truths,
I have forgot,
my own past,
my own truth,
I have forgot,
my past,
my past is lost,

(The song consists of two vocals bein done at the same
time.
One whispered in the foreground and one spoken in the
background)
(whispered voice)
Cold,
it's stone cold,
still I hear,
where mornings will never touch me again,
I falleth,
I falleth.
(Spoken voice in the background)
You,
culmination of vermins,
I don't need you,
mornings will never touch me again,
you,
culmination of vermins,
I don't need you,
mornings will never touch me again,
you,
culmination of vermins,
I don't need you,
Drift in silence,
Dressed in darkness,
I have found the place where my screams exist no more,
Where my weary eyes can't see the sense of incarnation,
There's no need for consolation,
There's no need for you,
Before me opens an ivory path that has no name,
Is this the crossing of everything, nothing
The further i proceed the less i am,
To see without seeing (...revealed only to closed eyes),
To do without doing (...backward-flowing / circulation),
To move without moving (...swallowed by the shrouded
Passage),
To be without being (..the heart is the fire),
Without beginning, without end, without past,
Without future nothing to look at, nothing to hear, No-
thing, only a vast space that has no limitations Thoughts
without language guide my roaming,
The seeker must seek,
I follow the ivory artery,
To cross the spiritual wasteland,
...Gaze reversed i touch the ultimate emptiness
...Revealed only to closed eyes
...Backward-flowing, circulation
...Swallowed by the shrouded passage
...The heart is the fire, to follow the feather-covered
path that has no name, finally, to overcome
The limitations of time and space
Is this vision of no-limitations
Just another limited vision, from orgy of visions
To flowing direct awareness
1 - 0 - 8 - co-il-lusion,
Stellar-gleam, the further you go the less you will know

Am I here,

Through tunnels of misunderstandings you all crawl,
never will you be able to see the other side of the
grey rain,
you are not worth to know, to feel, to see,
Through tunnels of misunderstandings you all crawl,
never will you be able to see the other side of the
grey rain,
you are not worth to know, to feel, to see,
Through tunnels of misunderstandings you all crawl,
never will you be able to see the other side of the
grey rain,
you are not worth to know, to feel, to see,
Through tunnels of misunderstandings you all crawl,
never will you be able to see the other side of the
grey rain,
you are not worth to know, to feel, to see,
Through tunnels of misunderstandings you all crawl,
never will you be able to see the other side of the
grey rain,
you are not worth to know, to feel, to see,
Through tunnels of misunderstandings you all crawl,
never will you be able to see the other side of the
grey rain,
you are not worth to know, to feel, to see,
Through tunnels of misunderstandings you all crawl,
never will you be able to see the other side of the

No heavenly light to blind me,
Leave me alone,
Let me wither away,
To the temples beyond on the fields of dark the temples of beauty,
Among the hills of spirits,
Drape myself in blood,
Behold, the skull-bearer -
The one who illuminates the sacred balance,
He has returned,
Black stars mark his way through the eons
Lie down and he will sever your ties,
His dance the movements that lack directional
Orientation, in trance
The intensity of ecstatic stimulation,
Immersed in frenzy
Submerge and feel the pure, unrestricted force,
Feel the force vibrating through spirit,
Re-behold the black stars,
For they embody the essence of thunderbolt
Behold, the architects
The creators of passages
That connect all the spheres and worlds,
Like swirling hexagrams above the skull-bearer
The absolute halo is awakening, their dance
The diversity of movements that pierces all the
Limitations, in ecstasy
Penetrate through the somnolent flames that form
The circle of bliss immersed in frenzy submerge and Feel
the pure, unrestricted force, at last,
people who live in the illusion of victory.. the first
MANIFESTATION of the disease... HOLOCAUST of the causal
reflection...... Colourless WORMS coming out from the
depths of my MANGLED soul.. IDEOLOGICAL DIMENSIONS
collapsed..... I am not any more a prisoner of my
hANDs,
eyes,
mouth,
sewed shut,
by substance,
without FORM

Pale shadows at front of me,
Colours that i cannot perceive,
So silent,
Yet so attractive,
Desolated colours of life i forsake,
Falling leaves conceal me,
This monotonous voice of my soul,
Take me,
To the place where those mirrors shine no more. . .
Eyes bleeding. . .
I look myself,
Those collapsed mirrors,
Stare me, stale web,
Around the poisoned pillars. . .
