The Resurrection of Marvina Dame

marvina dame,

set her house to flames,

walked out into the lake,

left ghosts in her wake.

when her house burned down,

they found the marks on the ground,

rumors going round,

never found.

but I've seen you out there, in the mayfair shades,

like a cool breeze in the night air, marvina dame

marvina dame,

is a whispered name,

some had her a witch,

as they pick up every stitch..

she only came out at night,

when the "timing was right".

whispered tomes to herself,

not well.

but I've seen you out there, in the mayfair shades,

like a cool breeze in the night air, marvina dame

marvina dame,

set her house to flame.

rumor has her a ghost,

but I know.

but I've seen you out there, in the mayfair shades,

like a cool breeze in the night air, marvina dame

but I've seen you out there, in the mayfair shades,

like a cool breeze in the night air, marvina dame

Giving Up the Ghost

fairbanks, north dakota

went head first over the rail,

didnt take long to flat line

and i never did make bail.

dont have much to tell you,

about a heaven or a hell,

no such thing as time now,

just a cold december gale.

all my sins and suffers,

are painted on my skin,

i can take the long walk,

but i just cant make it in.

show me the setting sun,

i thought i'd see you again.

just one thing to ask you,

though it doesnt matter now,

back in oklahoma,

why did you let me down?

Night-Scope Cherry

i want to see your face,

when second sight lets you down.

i want to be in place,

when your cathedrals come down,

down.

youve been slipping through the cracks,

we have come to set you back.

i want to clean the slate,

leave your motions unsung,

i want to be the mistake,

that will leave you undone,

youre done.

you've been slipping through the cracks,

we have come to set you back.

you've been slipping through the cracks,

we have come to set you back.

i want to see your face,

when second sight lets you down.

i want to be in place,

when we subtract the one,

the one.

you've been slipping through the cracks,

we have come to set you back.

all of this will soon end,

we have found you Markasan.

The Night Walk

gather up your second best,

say a prayer under breath.

meet me in the Mayfair Shades,

when the lumens begin to fade.

it's been raining.

with constelations you align,

the night-sky clocks will soon un-wind.

A Fact About Darkened Views

Epson Stan, went to sea

and came back with a brand new plan.

he helped a friend, remember things,

and took his life for 40 grand.

Annabelle, wasnt meant to be,

she picked the wrong road into town.

Epson Stan said, "Walk with me."

and in the morning they found her drowned.

hid intent, seal the vents, came and went, i'm in on the take,

see the mob, be on top, but please don't dolly in my way.

Alison, of Nappanee,

caught up with Epson Stan,

a drink laced, and car keys,

subterfuge, a new dead man.

and no one knows

what ya sow

and know one knows

what ya sow.

The Solvency of Worker Ants

best forget,

what you know.

cause they got you outside standing in the fucking snow.

all along,

your time was sold.

its either who you use or better yet who you know.

then one day,

theyll bring you in.

cut you loose,

or slice you thin.

theres no time,

to be cool.

theyre on the phone with who there gonna sell you to.

then one day,

in the nest,

the shoe will drop,

the queen relents.

enter the need,

of the mouths you feed,

obey the queen,

for solvency

Nothing in Particular

hey, smell the thaw.

ah, taste the air.

feel the earth under your feet.

it's the lazy days of sleep.

and thoughts of nothing in particular

walks for miles and miles.

thoughts of nothing in particular,

waking hibernating smiles,

feeling nothing at all matters.

it's getting harder to see,

through the trees in the distance,

cobweb fights & darkened nights of,

slight of hand indifferences are,

giving less and less resistance,

to thoughts of nothing in particular,

burning in the sun,

thoughts of nothing in particular,

all feeling as one.

feeling nothing at all matters.

cycled moments, phaze and hours.

hide the guidance of starry skies.

bring age to ages, life & ash,

mono-nostic fools

bleached and burned by the sun.

the sun.

Old Country Doktor

for many days i have traveled this trailside,

so many ways for one to despair

should i just wait on a star like the magi?

should i deprive the ill of my care?

tinctures of vellum and tangible dioxides,

populate the bag that hangs by my side,

an artisan with faith in the dry rites,

an artisan unplaced and untied.

remove the mirrors and blacken the windows,

take a deep breath and close your eyes,

at first a slight sting is to be expected,

followed by the colour, the solar light.

we cannot repair,

the damage you've done.

Lom T. and The Placebo Kings

petty, filter of the scene,

for his tired read, beat boss.

theres so many ways to lose oneself,

so why dont you get lost?

peel away the veil, for a lighter shade of stale.

clickish, modern-retro troupes

think they are the sauce,

theres so many ways to lose yourselves

so why dont you get lost?

peel away the veil, for a lighter shade of stale.

play a happy, familiar tune

so we can all get off.

theres so many ways to lose ourselves

so watch as we get lost.

peel away the veil, for a lighter shade of stale.

Tresti: The Brotherhood of Trance*

keep your voices down now,

the walls here have ears,

cause there are many slivers,

who have much to fear.

we tricked the limbic reflex we,

made it clear and wide,

theyll be here by morning unless

treason breeds tonight.

synthesized in Tresti by we

the brotherhood of trance,

laced with tall objectives,

by our brazen, soiled hands.

the halide compounds missing,

and i know, everything,

and i know, everything.

the halide compounds missing,

and i know, everything,

and i know, everything.

we win,

we win.

Carter's Dream

slow down take a break you've been on to long

sit back breath it in there's no one else around.......here

took me all this time to get back here again

left out on a shelf hide it from the kids......here

you've got to spend sometime with me here

come down from that place that whispers in your ear

all gone but there's a trace that no one can see.......here

The Luminance Find

just a minute,

let me catch my breath,

my head's spinning,

and there's panic in my chest.

a chance fission,

could help us forge the breach,

a trance vision,

could be the certainty.

luminance is found,

the stars are on the ground.

i can feel it.

topsoil, vestal,

for the re-awakened self,

the passage vital,

to the new cathedrals.

luminance is found,

the stars are on the ground.

i can feel it.

Plastic Vampire Bats

a) Night at St. Catherine's Cathedral

b) The Pale Dress

must of been some kind of man,

to snatch the bait right from your hand.

to have you always coming back,

to stop your heart from turning black.

a pale dress in sickness.

a red dress in darkness.

supplied the marks on your skin,

tales of where you've been.

does he make you feel complete?

does he lick the seepage from your knees?

a pale dress in sickness,

a red dress in darkness.

c) Thrive

tired of the treasons and the lies,

lay with me outside of the light.

only seventeen and i don't mind.

like aphids in the wind, glowing bright,

we'll wait for them like thieves in the night.

thrive with me outside the light.

Solace on the Alkaline Flats*

it's been a long day, a long day in hell.

the heat comes in waves, and I'm not feeling well.

a long pale sea, removes you from me.

but there's still a need, a wound that still bleeds.

it bleeds.

and here

i am

i've been here all this time.

i can still feel the world breathe around you.

i can still feel the world breathe around you. (siphon weighted)

i can still feel the world breathe around you.

sensory fades, as memories rust.

i'll show you fear, in a handful of dust,

of dust.

and here

i am

i've been here all this time,

on the alkaline flats.

The Cicadas of Los Valimos

came in out of the cold

when I first heard that you went missin�,

came down off of the wall

and left a hole where you were fixed in.

passing the time down to you,

they only think in black and white,

a safety net of tissue

that you penetrate just for spite.

don�t think I need

another pin cushion for this spell,

didn�t need your blessing

to celebrate my failing health.

how long i�ve longed to be with you,

in los valimos.

how long i�ve longed to be with you,

in los valimos.

how long i�ve longed to be with you,

in los valimos.

in the trees,

in the trees, (there has to be a better way)

in the trees.

Transmute*

a half-life,

ashes on the tiles.

midnight,

stay with me a while.

breathe out,

feed the iron tide,

no doubt,

ill be right by your side.

the big black,

that distills mercury.

a synapse

a photosynthic seed.

what we need is,

a little bit of truth.

what I need is

a little trace from you,

what ya need,

is to spend some time with me,

blend our cells,

become one with all in tow.

The Mantis Vox*

should've had some kind of plan,

to deal with these trembling hands,

as warm breath hits the side of my neck,

"we" is whispered from your lips.

let me,

let you,

prove me,

oh, yeah.

As I contemplate your skin so fair,

dazed by the touch of your hair

I hesitate as you grin.

will you take me to my end?

let me,

let you,

prove me,

oh, yeah.

as your nails sink in,

a revolution begins,

like the mantis we blend,

the path to god is through your skin.

im not another,

im not another solution.

let me,

let you,

prove me,

oh, yeah.

An Oddly Shaped Void*

how long will this sickness last?

can i see you again?

im a window of broken glass

i'll never be,

whole.

i hope that this doesnt show.

i never meant to be like this,

the lord of wasted time.

dear sisters of faith and bliss,

ill never be,

whole.

i hope that this doesnt show.

the sickness I cut out

The Incredible Dr. Markasan*

An old hat in a borough,

asked me for a light,

Sold me tresti's secret,

so you will be revived.

Feel the breezes, autumn's come again,

Luna, bleaches out your second skin.

Not a transformation,

not another lie,

With the alkaline solution,

you will be tonight.

Feel the breezes, autumn's come again,

Luna, bleaches out your second skin.

Ladies and gentlemen,

Dr. Markasan!

Feel the breezes, autumn's come again,

Luna, bleaches out your second skin.

Awaken Marvina, we will be again.

Vivian*

Want to purge my life from soft senseless ghosts

Want to make my soul antiseptically clean

Want to symbolize with some bleach born dove

Want to wash this smell off of my blood

Want to be with you, lose count of days as I waste away in your alms

and truth. Achieve sleep and peace, and be rest assured that I know

Want to fix the cracks that let in the rain

Want these curtains gone, want to see again

Need my mood to smile from some newborn drug

Need things buried deep to never be brought up

Want to be removed from doubt or thought reasons befriend me with thier lies, about you

Need to drink your wine possess all your time, watch large candles fade in one long embrace as I know

Want to grind old bones into to almond dust

Prolong drunken urges to never give up

I'm starring down deep dark holes brimmed with listless sleep

Want to replay verses with you in my keep

Want to be with you, and lose count of days, as they waste away in your arms, and truth. Acheive sleep and peace watch the roses bleed color into water, and hope like hell.

Everything is going to be alright.....
