the Sump 04:43
lyrics
There’s a sump inside of me And all may see the mark it leaves In colours of a bruise A tattoo that I didn’t choose There’s a sump inside of me So every thought I think Is first drawn through its stink And all may see the mark it leaves Low space, low space Low space that never drains At the lowest point in me Collected negativity There’s a sump inside of me So every thought I think Is first drawn through its stink And all may see the mark it leaves This sump inside of me Seeping to my skin In colours of a bruise A tattoo that I didn’t choose

Get the Belt 04:13
lyrics
Get the belt The belt Get the belt Leather, silver buckle It’s a long, strange trip In this wilderness I’ve found that Leather, silver buckle – get it Get the belt The belt Get the belt Leather, silver buckle Do your worst Get it
3.
the Shallows 06:02
lyrics
The shallows Unmoored, adrift This raft, keel-less Alone, at sea Landscape persists Horizon is fixed This landscape persists The shallows Sink into sand Reptilian eggs The lizard, its scales Are shed – the tail Is dropped, regrows Begin anew The shallows

Cliff Face 05:59
lyrics
I’ve been climbing this for years Through bad decisions made Interminable Irrevocable Featureless, their wall With nothing to hold onto Indomitable Intolerable Ploughing the furrow of his own little mania Prepossessed, he shapes his every word This gardener, playful, with confidence deliberate Reaches up to gain his next plateau See their anvil dropped The ax, it fell A ways behind Seconds late

Good Pedestrian 05:24
lyrics
Good pedestrian Filled with spite If this were a spacewalk We'd not survive I've been inconvenienced By other people Walking in diagonals They drift into my path I get enraged Such mindlessness Such poor pavement etiquette Engenders bitter thoughts Coffinaut Your sarcophagus your spacesuit Tethered to a satellite In orbit for all time Coffinaut, deadly spacewalk Be a good pedestrian

Black Triangle 05:34
lyrics
Draw back one curtain Face the clock to the wall Fluff up your pillow Put your sunglasses on Fasten a button Unwind your watch Take a quarter-step backwards Put your hand to the wall So that I appear It’s in your dreams we can talk Play my menial game I have access to technology From beyond the frontier I’ve so had it with this plane I’m taking off, won’t hear from me again ‘Cause I’ve so had it with this plane Look up at this time – desert sky at night Red lights in the sky, triangle on high So that I appear
