1. Swallow
2. Love Will Tear Us Apart
3. Purple Red Soul
4. Odium
1. Swallow
for this bleeding sunwalk
we laid down besides
and a screaming sky walks
and a trigger by my side...
drowing karmic networks
sad machines inside
see the radio sky talks
under a searing heaven...
swallow
swallow
swallow
swallow the bitter taste you once craved deep
your christ, your veil, your sun
in bitter blood you lay your sleep
and keep the sun in turn
for my god, my cancer
my painful god alone
dream of plastic serpents
swallowed father take me home
close my stranded eyes now
kiss my sun goodbye
light this jesus lantern
crack my searing heaven...
swallow....
so leave in morpheous dreams
lay down crestfallen eyes
no sad farewell in plastic flowers
take this breath away from harm
as once a child in kaleidoscope mind
swallow...
2. Love Will Tear Us Apart
[Joy Division Cover]
When the routine bites hard, and ambitions are low
And the resentment rides high, but emotions won't grow
And we're changing our ways, taking different roads
Then love, love will tear us apart again
Why is the bedroom so cold? You've turned away on your side
Is my timing that flawed, our respect run so dry?
Yet there's still this appeal that we've kept through our lives
Love, love will tear us apart again
You cry out in your sleep, all my failings expose
Got a taste in my mouth, as desperation takes hold
Just that something so good just can't function no more
When love, love will tear us apart again
3. Purple Red Soul
a fading plastic sun I cry
to breathe your odour by my side
afraid a tear could fall and dry... a summer
a drying fish an aimless frown
indifferent words in velvet sound
a stranded love too weak to drown... a sailor
a dreaming plastic moon has died
no more to colour any night
hold back the solemn in your eyes... a moment
a sailing child on waters blind
elate the sundown you will find
and deep inside no sun will shine... for never
prevail my part
come drown me in your sight
this painful art
to sear me with no words
a searing mark
come drown me in my world
as like a park
asleep to hold the wintersun
4. Odium
a summer dawn, this red familiar strain
a rusty nail cracked in a wall
unreal the scene to leave with the morning train
while in crowds of grey you walk
{on and on the line}
so close your eyes
and touch the odium
in deep sea skies
the searing odium
meshworks crawl
to feed the odium
a screw inside...
indifferent eyes, a milky window pane
a distant movie worn and strung
sonambulistic tool, take a walk in the summer rain
besides illuminating songs
{of iconoclast kind}
So close your eyes....
