Hamartia

Draped, enrobed in the navy blue velvet of an evening sky
Mind stopped, rejuvenating under a pagan moon
Who weakly smiles in understanding, my friend
From nature to fearful industrial; the connection I shall make soon
I am a nomad who carries his flaws in the tattered suitcase of raiva
Tears in eyes, teeth deep in lip, questioning whether they will make an appearance
Don't let him see my Hamartia - keep his eyes clouded.
I can be more than cyanide, more than a dark soul
I can dance in ribbons of another's love - it's if I can stop the ribbon fraying -
That is my fear.
He will always be there, but don't let this Man see those remnants.
Don't let the heart He held, be the one this Man needs to fix.
Don't let him see my Hamartia.

Just a hint of rapture and I'm following at your feet
So must we play the game when we know that you'll suceed?
Because every other man is cold to the touch
Now you're in my blood
Now you're in my blood
Now you're in my...
I won't ask for much to be my saviour's enough
Now you're in my...
Much more than two strangers in love
Now you're in my blood
Slow - just slow it down I'm not going anywhere
You know that I'm enamoured so why ask if I still care?
Because every other man is cold to the touch
Now you're in my blood
Now you're in my blood
Now you're in my...
I won't ask for much to be my saviour's enough
Now you're in my...
Much more than two strangers in love
Now you're in my blood

Spectrum

Friday morning, cigarette in hand and wipe away the hard-earned sleep
Fresh coffee, burnt plastic and technicolor drapery
Visit museums that smell of strawberry jam and hold my hand so gently
On the bridge I hear the great brass band playing melody so sweetly
Looking strange when walking side by side
The spectrum punk and the Pre-Raphelite
Strolling around like we own the city
No care who stares, just happy in our faggotry
Being here's so strange because I'm never one to step outside
Wiping fear from the edges as you're here and picking tulips to pass the time
Laughing at the bustle of the city and getting drunk at the riverside
Laying back, relaxed and soaking up the neon sunshine
If we're telling the truth
We're feeling old in our youth
We're pointing out what we'd fix right into the night
Barely sober- putting the world to rights

Mother Tongue
04:34
|

Talk to me so I can see into you
But those three words, much like heavy sleep, don't come easily to you
But I sleep much better next to a heart that's warm
My understanding's young
I want to taste the words of your mother-tongue
Want you to fuck me slowly in silent reserve and whisper until light
Embroider your language to my ears so I can constantly hear delight
And teach me so I can read into you
But your mother-tongue, much like secrecy doesn't easily come through
But I sleep much better next to a body warm
My understanding's young
I want to taste the words of your mother-tongue
Want you to guide me through to places where I never thought to go
Hesitancy lingering at your mouth but even so
Feed me your currency of speech
Read to me and bring me poetry as I'm curled amongst the sheets
Because I sleep much better next to a mind that's warm
Eu te amo
Eu te amo
Eu te amo

Raiva
02:35

The warming chest of raiva
Is coming back to me
The cold arrest of raiva
And red's the only colour I see
This does not feel like me
I give you no room to speak
I just shout and bare my teeth
But you love me anyway
Nothing now
You put your arms around my body
Anyway, let's forget what just happened
Is there something that I might have missed?
Get right down to the catalyst and
Calm the fear of Raiva
With just a kiss for me
Soothe my cause of Raiva
Because you truly see
You point out flaws and where I'm wrong
By sitting still, silent, strong
When I'm still going on and on
But you love me anyway
Nothing now.
You put your arms around my body
Anyway, let's forget what just happened
Because you love me anyway

To Him, Across The Sea
03:58
|
|||
|
Won't you stay one more day?
I have everything here
Stoic, stone cold tears
He's on the winds of necessity
Not because he wants to be from me
To Him, Across the Sea
Would you save all your love for me?
When you reach the barren lands
Will you speak of me?
And my misanthropy?
He's on the ebb and flow of memory
To Him, Across the Sea
Would you save all your love for me?
When you draw the netting in
Will it drag up a cost?
Will lovers truly be lost
Or did you save all your love for me?
To him across the sea

The Fox & The Star

I wake up
You're there
My paws are cold
And my fur is bare
Ears perked
Leave our den
Clear paths that lead us
From judgemental men
The light to guide me through
My happiness bound to you
Now you're gone
You're not there
My shining star
Isn't anywhere
I search round
I search low
I forage for knowledge
I might never know
Until I see your eyes
There's no reason to go outside
But my love
Look high
I'm still shining down
From the nightime sky
Even though we're on our own
You won't face the darkness all alone
