Liar Fire

So what? You’re loved
You’re uncomfortable as anybody ever was
Fear not, dull tug
Stuck in soul repeat of sophistry and Well because
You are alright
This is the reason that you wanna fight
Pale wheat sleeps to dream at night
Praying to wake up in different light
Taken to write
These are the reasons that You wanna fight
To surrender to the Amen breath
Give up the old and leave a soul at rest
Staying buoyed on the hope
While the other ones, keep you afloat
Eyes set on a red wine barn
The crops are dying tend the farm
The Longview honey everyone’s alone
Not for long
Giving spirit to the other one
Glowing and bright
Someone crept in and set the field alight
The exorcism of a poltergeist
Taming the beast with each and every slice
I spy a thief
A stitch gone amiss within the pattern weave
Kept your hand held to the candle,
For as long as you could handle
One, Two Three,
Cry aloud I see a scandal
Someones a liar
Eyes set on a red wine barn
The crops are dying tend the farm
The Longview honey everyone’s alone
Not for long
(Floating in love)
Giving spirit to the other one

Atlas
04:05
|

Brief smille under sullen eyes
Oh, to know, what makes us happy
Dead weight in a broken pile
Have, the heart, the hands are clasping
Sick wound covet your admire,
Oh, to need the want of something
Bent breeze on exhausted fire,
Oh, to know, to know.
Sow the rope, the rope it works
All the hope, the hope it hurts
Earth, the scope, the pain it’s worth
Fight it hurts, to not is worse.
Oh to know what makes us happy.
Damn it all to habit, The shake of a fist
Atlas of the attic, the weight of a kiss.
I think I’ll never let it go
Answers tripping down the aisle,
Haunt, the halls, for ears to meet and
Brush cheeks of addicted smiles
Greet the calls the aim to reach
Oh the youth, the youthful hurt
Earth, the sun, the scratch of dirt
Such, to come, the seek and learn
Love, and run, and then return
To never match the gravity of this.
Someday I’ma have it
The moment to miss
Maia making habits
With the flick of a wrist
Everybody wants it,
But this isn’t it.
Someday I’ma have it
The moment to miss.
All of it and
Everything all at once.

Beaches
04:17
|
|||
Tender rough shoulders, visions of an older
Freer being (To this I’m dedicated)
Vessel or holder, focus of a soldier
Let it be (To this I’m dedicated)
I’m collecting lives from the beaches
(Every part of me wants to say)
Save behind the eyes any keepers
(It’s okay mumma it’s okay)
Waves cover the moss like a carpet
(I try to offer all the same)
Hiding all the mess from the house guest
(Gentle gesture, for your pain )
Artifacts for a half-page writ
(What secrets lie on letters page?)
A thousand dreams in a stream of spit
(What’s to say mumma?, it’s okay)
Maybe give a little lift
with my
Maybe give a little gift
With my words.
Carnival scream for the half thought maybes
Reading tarot cards to babies
Telescope dream of a life I’m craving
Give it everything you gave me
Drink it in
I’m collating sounds from the sea shore
(Sought out a stranger here today)
Shapen into nouns for a verse four
(And today I’ma, try the same)
Spy a Cheap sunrise on a t-shirt
(A simple portrait full of grace)
Carcass of a lie in the dry dirt
(Caught some truth mumma, in the frame)
Vestibules through an idea tract
(I walk the streets here, feeling brave)
A thousand truths in a lunch unpacked
(On my way mumma, It’s okay)
Palms command the sand to a new shape
Ushering the man through a doorway
Whispering on the wind hear myself say
I’ll be you someday...

Are You Laughing?
04:03
|
|||
Board up the casket
Straighten the blooms
Let some Light in the room
Smooth out the blanket
Tend to the grooves
There is life in this room
Semi symptomatic
Sew a thought reap a habit
Is it over so soon?
And it always starts this way
You are always making plans little one
To prioritise the plans number one
Is it ever as you planned little one?
Can I make you happy
Go
Three sheets to the wind
Am I fucking you up?
Do I make you happy
Go
Three sheets to the wind
Are you laughing
Or just breathing in?
Speak of love not
result of love softly
Speak of love not
result of love softly
Sight of a shadow
Waving away
Is it aiming at him?
Is it a warning
Or simply to say
You should try coming in
Cause it all begins this way
Does it make him happy
Sure
How deep is the thought
Is it heavy enough?
Is it gonna last More or
What does any more
Can we hurry it up?
Can you hear the clapping
Bring soft heart for the whim
Are you letting it in?
I can see us happy oh
To end or begin
Are we leaving, or just moving in?
If you would just allow
Give up of an hour
Candy in the air
Even over there
Heaven in the stare
Lover tip wing

On Time
02:16
|

Oh won't you come
Bring a note, take a seat, give a gift, of the weather
Inviting one,
Full of hope Will it be? Is it me? for forever?
Save for the heat
Smooth as silk, soft as milk, fresh and bright, crisp and clever
Favour the sun
Hello You, is it true? How are you? Are you better?
Pregnant with plan
Gift me a can - Do
Never spare a metre square
Crowded like a supermarket
It remarks of nothing there
To be free of, mad and barking
You fall into Despair
Of nothing there
Bloated and thin
Gaunt and bone, Stomach groan, Hunger owned, Empty sweater
Exasicate skin
Brittle nail, sallow pale, vein and veil, fleshy Leather
Temperature grief
Lacking heat, ten degrees acquiesce, Scribble letter
Pressure Relief
Jump ahead Meat and eggs, maybe then make it better
Dizzy confused
Make it better
Blood pressure blues
Make it better
You slip into present tense
Wash away a day that's leaving
And then to “remember when?”
“A day was had that left me Grieving”
Then fell into
Not there

With A Lisp
03:17

Step forward and breathe
I fix my eyes on the grey
Struggle for something to say
Roll up my shirt sleeve
What’s new Today?
Feel like a child in the seat
You say The tenth one is free
Trying to sooth me
You strain to speak
Show me your missing your teeth
And you’ve been waiting for weeks
Have trouble chewing
You seem like an honest lad
Every reason to be glad
Like me
Multicolour pressure ring
Mind the sting of entering
Lightly
Friends in the place know my name like regular greeting
Plump with a lisp yellow palm wrist regular seating
A Side effect of bad habits
Willing the blood
This time it flows like it should
You say my vintage is good
I smile cheaply
Leave blue and pink
Testing for phosphate and zinc
I’m living life on the brink
Slow and degrading
Spare me the strength
You tell of cancer and bones
As your mortality shows
Your light is willing
Never morbid not your style
you prefer to wear a smile
Brightly
Wonder woman you should know
What effect the strength you show
Has on me

Is It Hard To Love Me?
03:04
|
|||
Despite a crowded inner ear
I can still hear
I can understand it clear
What you say dear
As if you’re speaking to a friend
Someone else instead
Foreign head will then pretend
No-one lives here
Gimme something strong
Gimme something strong to cry about
I say with a calm voice is it hard to love me?
Medicate a broken man
Must think i’m a poor choice crying like an amputee
I could use a second chance
Inside the origami sphere it remains clear
We’re but freckles on the heel
Not a great deal
And with perspective put in place
Try and rearrange
This pathetic looking face
That my head yields
You break apart and give away your own confessions
It’s the start of give me something strong
And the books said and the moon said
You’re a habit shouldn’t need it
I don’t remember why
I think we’re gonna be alright.

Ballet Plie
01:08
|
|||
Misery loves the company
(Sometimes there’s nothing to say you say)
Whispering silly things
(Contemplate and tell it what you think)
You still make the world go round now
You still make the world go round and round
Between a liar and the grief
(Often there’s nothing to do says you)
Find the need Puzzling
(Doing nothings often What to Do)
Today
Fumbling a ballet plie
On the stage
So enraged with the state
Of the place
Lone me to borrow some restraint
I think I’ll be okay

Lost And Alive
03:23
|
|||
Living the hard way
Stupid and small
Patient roaming hallway lost and hurting
Diagnosing himself
Dizzy and daunted
Cashews and all
Running to relieve a quiet boredom
Get in touch with yourself
Is it a phase?
Is it the method?
Alleviate
Everything’s fine your on your way
Always safe and sound within the movies
Give it some time
Babies stuck inside and hardly moving
Maybe it’s fine
To be lost and alive
Lunatic Braun says
Flexing his arm
You should crave a state of pumped and burning
Leave the muscle alone
You could have all this
Minus the charm
Skinny hanger sporting clothes preferring
To be all on his own
Is it a phrase?
Something expressive
Accumulate
Everything’s fine you’ll be okay
Is it a maze
What is the message?
Appreciate
Everything’s fine live for today
Always safe and sound inside the movies
Give it some time
Babies stuck inside and hardly moving
Maybe it’s fine
Cotton budded love within the music
Listen to Rhyme
Reason tried and tied the hand that’s choosing
Baby it’s fine
To be lost and alive

The Grief
03:11
|
|||
Wrap a ring around you like a tender arm
Glow the heaviness of some alarm
Addict on the brink
Fingering the dishwater
Staring at the sink
Did I miss the change?
Ripple in the drip water
Did I leave my things
Crippled in the last quarter
I outrun the thing
Memory wound
Like a ring stain bruise
On the arm of someone new
Understanding I don’t know
I never had the gall to give it all
To hope
Shadow of the Stooge
Cradled in a dark corner
Is it me or you
Standing in the room?
Did I make a run for it?
Did I leave my things
Did I make a run for it?
Can’t remembering
Answer I know
in the ink stained glow
and the charm of evenings wrote
Understanding I don’t know
I never had the gall to give it all
To hope
I surf the grief
Riding on the small wind of
Hope tomorrow brings
Lovely everything's

Bent spoke
Resting on a bed of
Conversation
Meat miles
Broad boat
Havoc on the waves of
Some creation
Neat smiles
I’ll be your rescue dog
Love me up some some
At the heels for another one
At the heels for another one.
You punch me
Like only a father would
And cradle my diseased feet
Limp like only a mother could
In some other hemisphere
It’s all morning
Baby all morning
It’s all morning in here
Chattering crockery teeth
Rot with internal disease
Nervously needing to please
Swelling with edema cheeks
Dim street
Lanterns on the way to
Somewhere at least
To be
A softer second thought not
Burden to teach
For a while
In some other hemisphere
It’s all boring
baby all boring
It’s all boring to hear
I’ll be your rescue dog
Love me up some some
At the heels for another one
At the heels for another one.
I’ll be your
I’ll be yours.

Daughter
02:36
|

He picks up his daughter
Honey you did well today
Wait till we show your mother
Proud as punch gonna celebrate
Nothing ever matters to you unless it matters to me first
Stick us all together like glue cause I put family first
She throws down her backpack
Runs up to her father’s waist
Wraps her arms round his neck
Melts like butter on his plate
Nothing ever matters to you unless it matters to me first
Stoic grand and full of the truth he puts his family first
All on your collar
Running like a dollar coin down a neighbours drain
It’s never coming back
This moment that you had is just a memory
Stuck to your brain
And you never want it to stop
You never want it to stop, again.

Denial
04:09
|
|||
I make a movie based on truly sad events
I don’t think I can hack it
What is a life without the habit?
The more I over think it over it makes sense
This doesn’t need to change much
It could be life if life is fucked up
Don’t cry now silly he’s a willing child
Stuck in a fascination with denial
Now now
