Under My Skin

Under my skin
Ask me again
For water and bread
Ask me again
For none
Shall pass
For sleeping children rest
Under my skin
There's a black future ahead of us folks, and we're headed right into it. Right now we're gonna take a little trip down to the bottom of the ocean, man, so hold on tight.

Comets Came Down
04:15
|

Then a still white dawn
Grips claws inside
Til the sun warm and bright
Holds me still, calms my fingertips
Still I'm here
Still I'm breathing now
Still I'm wide awake and stumbling

Every Time
03:58
|

Every time that I looked at myself
I could guess what old age would do to me
And listen for any sounds inside
But in the end what was I
Looking for when I started life anew
See I went over the mountain top
And I came back with a plan

Sat On My Back
04:21
|

I sat on my back
Watching the waves burn
I sat on my back
Watching the waves yearn
Violet patch of warm skin
I woke up screaming
I can still taste the fog of the night
And the dew on your skin shines
I live underground
No light no air no sound
[Shaken by the dust and overhead I cannot see the windows there's no light
There is nothing left to taste but red
Where did all the sun and the forest and not of one but there's still sand]
I can't see my own reflection
I can't see my own light

Sf

Between the fireworks and the coroner who speaks my name
'Tween the sparks and all the failures that I have suffered at the hands of you
I will have my revenge on him
I, garden voice, witnessed fire fold upon itself
Of the cure to all extinction: the fear of moving from where we have come
For the voices in the sun, my God, I wish I'd found someone like you
Come Father Time, I find myself underground
Regretting what I did, and growing in the end
Yet the sun is coming out, you see the answer: it's all someone like you, someone like you.

Banana Song

I was born away from here my darling
Closer to the city lights
Closer to the dancing
of a thousand brilliant nights
In the streets I saw the heavens singing
With our swords unsheathed
Silver gleaming
And the pounding drums
Resounded through my hair
The mountain sounding coming through the distance
Not like this
Dust engulfs this town
And the violins
have all but left
Replaced by firing drones
And under almond trees
I remember
Long before the days
His voice came running through my tree
Reaching for me
Before fire
Before it burned
Before the heavens existed
Before poison
In a pill
And I swallowed to my death
Before the sparks
And the works
Before women burned in hell
With my little
Forgotten children
With all my failed addictions
Before lightning
Before listening
Before love

Shells
05:35
|

I guess after all
Leaping off was a bad idea
You're losing sleep over pointless things
Timed departures never ring
How many times
You wash yourself to remove the stink
A warm summer day by the emerald lake
Picturesque pier and lots to sink
But it's all okay
I never really left I'm here to stay
Appear in the rooms of those I lost
Waiting by the fireplace when everything's gone
Whispering wind

Undercover
08:30

Blink, rub my eyes
Get up and I'm alive
I see to my right
Light shine through my windowpane
I can tell
This is a moment
I'll always remember
Whenever I go to sleep
Yellow light
Something's on your mind
It's whatever happens
It's wind on your shoulderblade
Lost again
In the memories
Before the sun comes in
In the night
Freezing hits the hands
Still bound by a staple
So close to the fingertips
Melody
Something in the trees
It's holding your name
It's showing it to the world
