"The Seer Returns"

"The Seer Returns"


Behind the veil of silver scars, there is a special inverted star
He's a greasy beast, heaving in a field of sticky black mud

I'm down here naked
There's a hole in my chest
Both my arms are broken
Pointing east and west

Your life pours into my mouth
My light pours out of my mouth
My life pours into your mouth
Your light pours into my mouth
Your life pours into my mouth
My light pours out of my mouth
My life pours into your mouth
Your life pours into my mouth

There's a jagged deep crack in the crust of the earth, spreading from north to south

Put your light in my mouth

Ahh the mountains are crumbling
Ahh the canyons are thundering
All the people are fucking
They're just a pile of writhing selfish bliss

I know I'll never die. I scream up at the sky:

You have arrived

Hey
Bring the children home

"The Sound"

"The Sound"


And wide are your delusions
Deep red is the space behind your eyes
Closed forever is the door to your room
But inside there lives the sound
You despise but I love
You despise but I love

You despise
I love
You despise
I love

Mother
I was wrong
I am wrong

"The Sound Of Freedom"

"The Sound Of Freedom"


We're standing by a river
In a place where nothing moves
And the white light in the sky
Is meaningless and cruel

And we turn our face away
From a cold and violent wind
And we bow our heads down
And we pray to the sound of freedom

With a mirror in my hand
And my eyes burned in the fire
Drunk on self-deception
And punished by desire

Leaping directly into a bright white sea
I'll keep myself breathing
And I'll swallow the sound of freedom

Nobody else can see you
Nobody knows how you feel
Go further inside you
Where nothing else is real

Now throw yourself into a pool of silence you can see
And hold the mirror before your eyes
And light the white light
It's the sound of freedom

Now time is just a picture
That moves before your eyes
And every lie that I believe
Is falsely compromised

And this is not a sound
And we are not alive
Someone else was here before
In someone else's mind

And the ground we walk is sacred
And every object lives
And every word we speak
Will punish or forgive

And the light inside your body
Will shine through history
Set fire to every prison
Set every dead man free

And the air we're breathing now
We breathed a million times
And the darkest dreams we dreamed
Were dreamed by other minds

So take us to the water
Take us to the sound
And wash my soul away
Where it can never be found

And the white light that surrounds us
Is the sound of freedom pounding
And the ground that opens up
Spits the fire from freedom's mouth

And the concrete, glass and steel
Break with a freedom you can feel
And the wind that blows through Heaven
It screams the sound of freedom

And the violence that destroys
Is the birth of freedom singing
And the lovers in the field
Make the sound of freedom bleeding

And the pain that eats my mind
Is the shout of freedom's life
And the sea that splits in two
Is the cut of freedom's knife

And the fire that burns this city
Is the white light in freedom's eye
And the white light is the sound of freedom

"The Wolf"

"The Wolf"


Now feed me through
The power line

Wash me in
Your bloodless light

To be splayed upon
Your silver gate

I am proud in flesh
I am bruised but I am raised

"The World Looks Red / The World Looks Black"

"The World Looks Red / The World Looks Black"


Push it away
The world looks red
People wish fish eyes
The ground sucks

Walk on my fingertips
Displacing the fog
The weight of my body is too much to bear
The memory drains the life from a dog

An ocean of insects works like a sheet
The immevoable fact buries my mind
In a horse-hair coat in a pile on the floor

Bury my mind
Bury mind
Bury my mind
Bury my mind

Follow the Sleeper Man
Follow the Maker Man
Follow the Keeper Man
Follow the Leaver Man

Follow the Sleeper Man
Follow the Sleeper Man
Follow the Sleeper Man
Follow the Sleeper Man

"This Is Mine"

"This Is Mine"


This is mine
I own it
I own this thing
I hate everything that I don't own

I own this
I own this hole
It's mine
Get out of my hole
It's mine
It's mine

When you touch my things, you spoil them
When things get dirty, I spit them out
I own this
I own this
It's mine
It's mine

"Thug"

"Thug"


The only real thing's misery
Submission means you get murdered
You get revenge when you wait for it
Frustrated means you're insane
He's a dead thing under the sheet
Causing pain. sex turns impotence into decay
Unconscious repression degrades the real thing
You can't kill a criminal need
You're polluted with fear you need comfort
You can't kill what you don't see
You cant' think what you don't own
You can't rub what you don't recognize
You don't get what you really deserve
You can't fight if you don't feel it
Obedience pays if you use it right
You degrade yourself when you hide your fear
When you eat your pain you keep you nerve
Use it right
Or don't feel it
Use it right or don't feel it

"To Be Kind"

"To Be Kind"


To be kind, to be kind
To be real, to be new
To be sung by a song that's untrue
The falling sun, the fallen one
In a bed, painted blue, touching you
Listening, just listening
To the rain, to the wind, in the field
To be kind, to be kind
To be lost, in a bed, touching you
To be lost, to be lost
To be found in the sound of this room

"There are millions and millions of stars in your eyes..."

"Trust Me"

"Trust Me"


Because I love you
I give you this
Don't be afraid of this
You can trust me now
Though we will deceive ourselves
You can trust me now
You can trust me now
Don't be afraid of this
It's not unusual
It's not unusual
Because I love you
You can trust me now
You will never know
You will never know
You can not trust me now
Don't be afraid of this
You can trust me now
It's not unusual
You can not trust me now
You will never know
It's not unusual
It's not unusual
