lyrics

We are not invisible
Just travelling in parallel worlds
Plug my ears close my eyes
A public soundtrack fortified by eyes
That are looking but still unseen
Smoke the leaf you rolled up tight
In the magazine dream

----------------------------------------------------

There is a hole that cannot be filled by anything
Into this hole you pour your dreams
And anything you really need
Anything you truly love
Devouring of beauty isn't enough

So I call it out to get to know it
Shadowbox the painted tongues away
And you call it out in hope of finding
Another way

Still there is a hole that cannot be filled
By the union of flesh
The motion and sweat you leave in the bed
And the hole remains at the end of the day

The body is a shell
She's the ocean's vastness
Echoing until her last breath
Tidal flows and cosmos shift
A hit

Words weave webs that catch line
The parasitic appetites of eyes on lines and eyes and eyes
Spin China plates on pristine crystal spikes
And ambition burns a wildfire
Circling steel coal eyed
And rising higher
