No Drinks Tonight

"No drinks tonight, just worries
Come on down and I’ll tell you why it is
That even I can’t tell you exactly why
Perhaps because I wonder too?
Bittersweet conspiracy of wistfulness
Drug of your persona scars my entity
Dust pours over me and I look away
Taste of sour lips leave me dry
Just the same old words in my mouth
Nothing happens except repetition of age
It will all be alright again, I promise you
Draw affection like lines in the sand
No party tonight, don’t come over
I wanna be the one to question
I need to be my own best friend
If I’m gonna walk beside myself
Detoxification, public isolation
Break down the ideal and let it wither
Put it in a box and throw away the key
I told you so, didn’t I?
No thoughts tonight, just empty sky
No aching, just stillness in my bed
No limit to hopes and dreams
No worries tonight, just sleep"

"When I dream I am still awake
I would like to sing
a song about the people I love
the future and the past
society and reality
when I dream I am still awake
When you run you are standing still
Do you remember open landscape
two thousand and three
stay stay stay with me
society and reality
When you run you are standing still
Sometimes reality is too complex
for us to take
When we dream
we are still awake"

Station New City Grid
03:44
|

"Fly by bulletins, district maps, signs on marble grey. Red on white, different zones, bright lights for drowsy eyes. It's a ride through a tunnel, station new city grid. Resolute anti solitude, desolate building, straying commute, escalator auto ascension. Black rectangle, black rectangle, black rectangle, black rectangle. Corner window, sudden light behind, no movement inside flicker. I know it's you."

Time, Stained
05:43

"Time
a ripple
stained by memory
space in air
space in sky
in wood and ground
stay here for days
stay happy
stay here for days
mesmerized eyes
don’t cry for mesmerized eyes
don’t cry for you
mesmerized eyes don’t cry
unkempt precipice
the empty borders
deliberately lost
circles begin and end
precursors to pain
cut out and forget
fever pasts
future events
ragged heroes sleeping
without pace
jangly
new
plastic protein physics
hope is out
when the time is in
war is coming
give up
give in
withdraw to a mystery
running to no escape
cables plugged to walls
pavement cracks
amber skin
clap hands
close fist
shut mouth
open mind
humid face halts hazel hair
noises from below
new territory
strange days
fantasy and glory
collateral ephemeral
an unnatural guarantee
bonding and subordinate
misery without necessity
happiness within itself
I won’t ever grow old"
