my confusing conduits
I just cant explain
how it felt to traverse through yr bountiful veins
breathing in yr history
finally-
for miles and miles
and I was tearing the walls down
and there was crashing all around
and the ceilings they were bowin' down
to the breaking tide inside
my mind
and I've heard what they've said
about you
but its simply not true
oh its simply not you
for all the burnt out beauties
there are pillars and arches painted in colors of grandeur
towering to take our breath away
and I was licking the walls down
and there was crashing all around
and the ceilings they were glistening now-
awash with my tears
and such demanding sound
as it echoed all around
and my confusing conduits I must say I do admire you
and my confusing conduits I must say I am inspired
oh my hearts on fire
it burns with a deep desire-
my Detroit desire...

it glistens in the sun
a shining and shimmering burgundy hunk of metal
its not even really that attractive of a car
but i must say its very well kept
an attraction to cars-perhaps its because i don't know how to drive
but I'm not really seeing the car-
I'm thinking about Detroit
I run myself a shower and undress
the water cascades down my back
I am longing for some sort of caress
and I am lathering myself with scented soap hoping that it might take away
the feeling of a body wrought with the weight
of such a wait
such a weight
for after so long a foreign place was placed a blossom
my mind goes back to the car
once again I'm thinking about Detroit (always Detroit)
I can feel its haunt and cacophony tearing up my spine
and then down I lay
naked as day
(I cant believe I'm saying this)
with the water pouring down like rain-
two times, two times i came
said two times, two times i came...

The heat it was risin' (heat it was risin')
my blood was boilin' (blood it was boilin')
the seas they are risin' (seas they are risin')
and my body was yearning for it (I was yearning forth)
so long in waiting-i couldnt take it
just had to seize the moment
just had to taste yr sound
let me taste yr sound now
as it goes-the night & day
the next one comes
the next one goes
let me taste-
let me taste the sweat a rollin' down yr face
rollin' down yr face now
as i lay me down
as i lick it down
let me taste yr sound
let me lick it down
just let me taste yr sound
for the moon//the heat it is a rising
and the blood it is a boiling
and you know the seas are rising
the world is wakin'
we gotta seize the moment
((indecipherable sasserune))
(gotta seize the moment)(just had to seize the moment)
so please let me taste yr sound
oh let me let me lick it down
the sweat that rolls down yr face
and let me lick it down
let me taste yr sound
let me taste it-
let me taste yr sound
let me taste it-
let me taste yr sound
let me lick the sweat that rolls down yr face
let me taste yr sound
let me taste it-
let me taste yr sound
just had to taste it-
just had to taste yr sound...

Driving Depths

I saw the birds heard them cawing heard them calling
they were calling in the night (in the night)
and the sunset was burning my eyes
orange streaks of light like the fire of desire
that was burning in my mind (oh it was burning in my mind oh)
it was burning in my mind
so I gave in I gave in
to the sweetest of temptations
it was driving me insane (driving me insane)
it was driving me in circles all around (all around)
it was driving me in circles all around (all around) all around
so I gave in I gave in
to the sweetest of temptations
I went in I went in
I went all the way down
(all the way all the way all the way down)
all the way down
(all the way all the way down)
I went all the way down
(went all the way all the way down)
I went all the way down
(all the way all the way down)
and I could see the lights ( I could see the light)
they were changing they were flying by
as I was writhing right in time
with the syrup in my spine
melting right in line
with the changing tide (the changing time)
an unbridled storm it was rolling it was rising within me
it was driving me insane
it was driving me in circles all around
it was driving me insane
it was driving me in circles all around
(I went in I gave in I went all the way down...

Gruesome Mechanisms
05:51
|
|

upon the cliff I hear it sigh and I sigh with thee
a river flowing before the sunrise carrying the heaving
breath of deaths industry
and engines these days take minutes that pass like hours
to warm
as my own exhaust it sputters between my frigid fingers
its 6 am and only 4 degrees and were just waiting
to be able to see clearly
that bad hearts they struggle to beat
as sad hearts they curl closer to machine
oh bad hearts they struggle to breathe
as my sorrowed heart curls ever closer to machine
let me pull close yr blanket of numb all around me
as I disassociate and disassemble the very fibers
that speak of what it means to fight or flee
that speak of what it means to be awake or asleep
no I don't sleep no these days I never sleep no no
for I've seen the symbols and I've crawled inside
the shimmering facades of false promises and false gods
heaving breath through rattling lungs
sucking through their teeth and speaking in tongues
as the sun sets to bid adieu another dawn
I see the shimmer shade and shine
of a glory long past its prime
I see the shimmer shade and shine of the disassembly
line
as bad hearts they struggle to beat
and sad hearts curl closer to machine
as bad hearts they struggle to breathe
what you breathe into me
wrapped up yr numbness so sweet
can it be that I cant love people like I long for machine
(no I cant love people like I long for machine)
and I'm always doing this to my soul
throwing myself in wholeheartedly and letting go
always getting so lost in it so caught up in it
whatever it is
and I got caught up in yr spokes suspended in my
minds eye
as I drilled my pupils down through to
the deep voids of yr cemented centers
I picked up all the pieces and played myself a pawn
through the kingdom of my own emptiness I earned each stripe
one by one
as you breathe through me something like exhaust
my heart curls closer to the grand mechanics
of bad hearts struggling to beat struggling to breathe struggling to breathe
my eyes flutter my body shudders and turns the key
oh please let me see these gruesome mechanisms and what they mean
breathe unto me an understanding
breathe unto me an understanding
oh please breathe unto me an understanding
of such a gruesome machine...
|

I am staring into the depths
of deaths mouth
agape
laying before me
and I
cannot escape
this incessant sound
it was very soon then thereafter--
the moment
the motors all stopped...

don't drink it down no
don't you drink it down
don't drink it down
don't drink it now
don't drink it no more
don't you drink it down
don't you drink it down
don't you drink it no more
don't you drink the water now
(don't drink the water now)
a stones throw says its time
too much whiskey too much whiskey and wine
but from frazzled nerves it pumps rust
through corrodid veins
all along the forgotten alleyways
and thoroughfares
of an infrastructure crumbling
beneath the weight of mourning the weight of mourning
oh...
forgotten children foraging for what remains
of a purity long since lost
amidst the exhaust of the exalt
and a poisoned prime
oh...
so don't drink it
oh no don't drink it now
oh no no no no...
oh no no no no
don't drink it
don't drink it down
don't drink the water now
(don't drink the water now)
don't drink the water now
don't drink it now
don't drink it down...
don't drink it now
don't drink it no more
those forgotten children
foraging for what remains
of a purity long since lost...
beneath the weight...
of mourning...
of mourning...

Sweet Renaissance
03:34

and excuse me if this seems out of line
but i've been dreaming of you all of the time
in the twilight upon shaken scapes and bridges
I see the fog in their seams
as behind you glimmer
through the tears I weep
just for you
just for you my sweet
its only you
only you I think of when I fall to sleep
just for you
I long for you my sweet
its only you
I think of when I crawl between the sheets
oh please oh please
oh please give me
your haunt and cacophony
oh please oh please
bathe me in that chaotic sound
pumping like a motor all around around
let it resound now
my love for you it knows no bounds (it knows no bounds)
and Ive never felt like this before
never felt like this before...
just for you
just for you my sweet
in the middle of the night
its for you I weep
its only you
its only you my sweet
only you
only you I think of when I fall to sleep.

my confusing conduits
my confusing conduits
my confusing conduits I just can't explain
how it felt to traverse through yr bountiful veins
breathing in yr history finally for miles and miles
(for miles and miles)
and i was tearing the walls down
and there was crashing all around
and the ceilings they were bowing down bowing down
to the breaking tide in side my mind (inside my mind)
oh...
and i've heard what they say about you
what they say about you
but its simply not true no
its simply not you oh
for all the burnt out beauties
there are pillars and arches painted in colors of grandeur
towering to take our breath away
and i was licking the walls down
and there was crashing all around
and the ceilings they were glistening now they were glistening now
awash with my tears and such demanding sound
as it echoed all around oh it echoed all around
my confusing conduits i must say i do admire you
my confusing conduits i must say i am inspired
my hearts on fire it burns it burns with a deep desire it burns it burns with a deep desire it burns
with my Detroit desire
my Detroit desire
