Lyrics for Track Five
It's a starving reflection If he dies in the night Listening to the increase. It cuts out your likeness In blood circulations Suspended beneath a release. A low volume force feed Lower than pity Slips across under the heart And your hostage rewinding From every eclipse Rolls in the voltage Run-off rain on his lips. We chew up the blackness To some high sleep Travel a faster silence. One to go long again In the going – – Gone again. Full stare passages Striking less face; Outside on the move A shattered heart pace Greases the fade; Sinking the blood back Breaking to where loaded icons wade. Eyesides catch far awake In a cols sanctuary. Pain sonics eternities All through themoves. A first communication Tears loose undelivered And swims unassigned In your dimmed latitudes. And the heat from the shore Melts down to recieve us; Floodlit foreheads Howled open and so nearly blessed As they soften round dog-joys Of unfinished strangers Rubbed out on a point Afterburning
