1.
La Danza 03:55
Each step is a secret Each step is locked away Unsaid but not uncertain A hundred shaking shapes Stock still within the frenzy Stood staring in dismay And shrill the pangs of envy that we can never join in with the dance Dance step semaphoric Dance bringing in the night Dance calling to the water Dance boil beneath the light We few the rhythm tortures Fall silent to the floor A hundred weird walkers On the wall participating in the dance Three figures dance a fortress Three faces turned away Three voices never call us We have no passion for the dance Each step is a secret Each step is locked away To never know the language of A hundred shaking shapes
2.
When daylight waits Into your eyes Kept still alone at night There is no hide Keep still inside The years are cold at night Was it a stage? Embrace the voice you craved For so long before What is expected now to wait No time for remorse No looking backwards for the words When I could believe you You cannot feel What calls to you In photographs of truth You fail to see There's room to breathe With photographs for you Was it a stage This illustration sad So soon is the change "Bring me the suit" she says Tear another page no looking back it's far too late And I don't believe you
3.
The Sentence 04:47
She waits in aging shade Blazoned bold Here where there's passion's tears And nothing more A mirror A pair of eyes The attribution now has Passed me by There once was movement So I am told Breathed from the warm air That bathes in cold An eyesore A profound gaze It's understood now when It's yours to take I wander through daze How could I have left you? A hundred blue moons Would never dissolve
4.
Chastised behind your own eyes Capsized in visions of demise Franchised from head to thighs Baptized in frustrated sighs And all that remains Is a taste, is a texture You play the waiting game Refrain from making the first move Chastised behind your own eyes Anaesthetized Your prize is poison in disguise Cutting corners, weaving circles Bruises fade from blue to purple Keep pace, never triumph in the race Dawning truths, nothing matters Don't ask the questions that are left unanswered Embrace voids of horror in your face Pull the covers, dim the shutters Eyelids flutter Can't face what's taking place Outside your pillow case Fearful shadows, they seem to mutter "You're doomed to failure, why even bother?" Erase, becoming empty space
5.
Distance (free) 04:20
A curtain in my mind begins to frail A window opens up and what's unveiled The motions shape the life I once admired At distance from a moment of desire I lost you and you know I lost you Through the distance and the means to follow truth Tangled, I am now tangled once again In the distance that remains inside my head Closer, am I closer from the fire At distance from a moment of desire I watched you and you know I watched you Through the distance and the means to follow truth Remember, I would remember what has left Where once was emptiness now fills me with regret
6.
Amorous hearts are said to flutter Gulping valves mutter Consonants of stutter In it's quickened rate Adored cheeks are said to blush Blood to head is said to rush It's nothing but a hot flush Our bodies disintegrate What was once consumable From pot to rot it made me ill Seems oddly inconcievable To have is to hold And behold, the sentiment is getting old As we twist away and fold Our words annihilate There is no choice to voice concern It's nothing but a part we learn And yearn And still and shrill we say we will Lips that part can't state the art Of will In all the rumoured ours We pore we paw We count the hours In lustless silences Can't get back to where we've been The walls keep closing in Can't seem to keep from drowning in These lustless silences
7.
Statue 04:11
Was it a story? "Wish it was", she said "I wish it was a story, though", she said Then she float into the other room With marble statue in her hand In water up to your eyes Blink twice all dry again Under a fading sun That is failing to dawn "It didn't happen quite like that", she said "No, not like that", she said, "It didn't happen" Like glimpsing blood in a mirror And not feeling anything Within a broken hour That's still failing to dawn Heart lines that you hold tight to All will be compromised It should be obvious Yet it's failing to dawn
8.
Concrescence 05:32
Cog within cog Actuator in waiting A fulcrum looms Like a sansui painting The twisted alloys ache permanency Resulting only in the temporary This involute tooth Slipped of era It's origins antikythera Angular answers to circular problems Push on the shapes the voids condemn Anaerobic dawns, metallic concretions Inverted multi-storeys Hung from glass ceilings And what we can't find at all Is a nucleus A palpatating heart Inside these city walls The insectile glimmer of a thousand marching drones Reflecting in the prisms; floodlit conditioned pawns Glittering against the neon of a hundred computer screens Littered from the penthouse to the subterranean Echoes from the subway, the thunder of machine Propels us slowly onwards, to the rhythm of our memes Too scared to pull the threads that unravel from the seams We stare to broken mirrors seeing pages of magazines Words that break the silence range from trite to the obscene Yet are the only things we have outside the gristle of our dreams
