escape car
don’t be late
stay outside with the engine running
fill the tank up
don’t drink the night before
keep a clear head
don’t panic
speak to no one
look straight ahead
it’s a one shot only chance to make a getaway
escape car
put your foot down
keep your head down
watch that lady crossing the street
take the next left
then the first right
don’t panic
don’t think there’s anyone following
don’t think there’s anything above
slow down
slow down
did you hear a siren ?

PURPLE TOWERS

purple towers
purple towers looking down at moving figures on the ground
transportation ready now leave on time avoid the crawling natives
purple towers the air is clean above the filth and polluted sea
you don’t mix with the lizards on the ground
keep your lungs free from disease
take the full advantage
feather your own nest again
you always take the full advantage
and feather your own nest again
you step into the world
without a thought for anyone
your emptiness is deafening
purple towers the water rising
creatures from the swamp arriving
transportation suspended now
no getting away from the hungry crowd
purple towers the air is clean above the filth and polluted sea
you don’t mix with the lizards on the ground
keep your lungs free from disease

angel on earth
sat in the back of a car eating peaches looking around
in the presence of an angel on earth driving in the sun
entrance hallway
white house opulence
painted pictures
jackie was there
alone in a hotel room
thinking of her
an angel on earth
passenger 1973
washington dc polaroid
sat in the back of a car wanting to be held by her
wanting to look at her forever in that dress
looking out of the window driving in the sun
alone in a hotel room
thinking of her
an angel on earth

STRAITJACKET
04:04

straitjacket
inside the darkened caves of your heart
walls close in and suffocate
no room to move
nowhere to run
questioning every movement
lost in the recesses of your silence
something keeps you breathing
facing the dark you say ‘no surrender’
straitjacket evaporates
daylight comes in you say ‘no surrender’
straitjacket evaporates
no straitjacket
outside the sun is breaking through the rain
you are released from demons
no longer bound and strapped up
no longer anaesthetised
lost in the recesses of your silence
something keeps you breathing

toronto
walking into the space
notice the detail
watching the tribe
reinforcing ideas
born from desires
sticking to your guns

PUMMELLED HEART
04:02

pummelled heart
make the cut
expose the organ
remove the heart
place it on a chopping block
take the implement
beat it flat
place it back in the body
complete the stitching
will you walk away from the wreckage ?
will you join another game ?
constantly fixing a broken part
looking for answers in all the wrong places
the pummelled heart clings to life
tired and bruised
barely functioning
the pummelled heart refuses to die
desperate for blood flushing through the corridors

CONSPIRATORS

conspirators
look around you
who is suspect ?
what is true ?
sophisticated friends may bring you down
protect what’s yours
keep it close
information is all you own
planning escape from the vulture
rapacious zombies peering in
conspirators
ask around you the difficult questions
who is suspect ?
what is true ?
hold your nerve until it gets too hot
destroy the details and disappear
planning escape from the vulture
rapacious zombies peering in
conspirators

CAN OF WORMS
03:42
|
|||
|
can of worms
skating across a frozen black pond
avoiding snapping serpents under the ice
performing intricate manoeuvers
staying away from areas of danger
the can sits on the shelf
next to the jar of eyeballs
the can sits on the dusty shelf
next to the jar of wagging tongues no
breaking into the abandoned house
only taking what’s needed
kicking the can around
crushing it in the vice
taking the hammer to it
destroying the jar of eyeballs
destroying the jar of wagging tongues
silencing the vitriol silencing the vitriol no

DORMANT

dormant
it’s happening again
iron ribs expanding
spine extending
here it comes !
a tail with scales growing
clawed feet
clawed hands
yellow eyes popping
can’t stop the surge of electricity
this thing inside refuses to listen
can’t stop the internal eruption
this thing inside is dominant
here it comes again !
no stopping it
here it comes !
need salt water
fifty small fins running down legs and arms
jaw bone lengthening
splitting the lips
teeth like blades
designed for destruction
