The Goat

What you going to do, please say

Sold by people you knew one way

Selling souls for minor infection

There he was ready to pounce

The goat, the goat

The goat will take you for what you are, you’re harmless

The goat, the goat

The goat will eat you alive, regardless

When you walked in he stared you down

You call him “friend”, I say “devil”

This blistered hand from shattered hove’s

Some people say the church has no evil...?

The goat, the goat

The goat will take you for what you are, you’re harmless

The goat, the goat

The goat will eat you alive, regardless

I have a theory

I have a theory

That the ‘man’ will fuck you alive

To Their Knees

Black mountains and white fadings

Single vision on a double sighted view

Faculty is dead over here

No one got their thinking caps on this call

Hip bars and slick floors 

Everybody’s moving to the sound of fake halls

They stand strong 

To watch the next one fall on their face

It’s me, here

Didn’t you see? 

Broken shades on a dim lit room

Nearly there now

Over the edge now

Blurry surroundings have no pain

Inebriated in my own eyes

Startled by the lights

Careless words for nobody

Their ears up against the wall

Future, future, slow down now

Future, future, slow down now

Future, future, slow down now

Future, future slow down now

Future

Broken soldiers are failing

Seminal dreams are not on request

Mouths follow me

Eyes carry me

This sinking ship is bursting at the seems

The soldiers

To their knees 

You’re at the apex of your social life

You’re bourgeois

Ideals are

Broken with very little laugher

This is now

Not back then

Now wake up from this melancholic state

Realise that

Victory is mine

Its only a small one but one is all I need

Inebriated in my own eyes

Startled by the lights

Careless words for nobody

Their ears up against the wall

Future, future, slow down now

Future, future, slow down now

Future, future, slow down now

Future, future slow down now

...and make it last

Make it last one more day

Little Black Grape

Come on back little black grape

Initial sparkles of time tried but spluttered out

Heading back home, play this game, try your luck

Wanting to be someplace else with you, where?

Come on crazy wishful thinkers

Clinging onto over hanging ropes

Salty sea, water, fresh free on hopes

Falling into poison wells, down we go

So you knew the time had come

So you broke my imaginary gun

So you finish trapping all that can be taken

So it was what I knew all along

This pillow has an imprint

But was not made by my mind

And now the canvas is clear make sure the meaning is here

These darker days and darker nights

Are holding this little black grape

Two cascading tears from your sun bleached cheek

Your little black dress seems whiter than light

So you told me to be different

So you told me to be kind

So you told us to resent

So you give me one more time

And it’s fluxed into oblivion

This is just about time

This has taken long enough

That ticking clock has no rhyme

I love you

Love you tonight

Am I right in my mind?

Decorating In Silence

You make me feel like I need more people to be around me all the time

I need to be part of it and make more friends for my own sake

This is what you tell me

Expanding horizons to know the world

But you still go to sleep alone after all

And wake up crying on your own

Maybe you shouldn't decorate in silence at all

Expect to be alone when you call upon us

Expect to be standing there staring at the ground knowing this isn’t enough

Expect silent calls on the side table

Because you’re lonely when you’re lonely even when you think you have us lot

You wake up crying all alone

Maybe you shouldn’t decorate in silence after all 

Not at all, at all

You make dreams with silent dreams

You’re like rain on a summer’s day

So lonely, so lonely

We came to make up a game with you

You swore to make this day so true...so we’ve

We’ve done everything; we’ll try again, one more time

We came to finish your promises to...

You said this would be a long summer too

We’ve done everything; we’ll try again, one more time

Convoluted

Convoluted sun rays correct your wrong ways

Drowning spectators cheer anyway

We tried everything, we tried, we’re tired
