The Desert
I'm the second to heave the sigh
Leave the world behind
Left carved on water
A message to my mother
My soul will rise from the sand and stone
Aloof, alone
And god will take me home
The desert's a holy place
A perfect place to stay
Stay true to your mother
True to the father
My soul will rise from the sand and stone
Aloof, alone
God will take me, god will lead me home

Dust
All when dust settles from the barge
A bonnet cleared from the wound
Collapsed walls, collapsed
Collapsed roofs, collapsed
Collapsed incidentals
And fog from the pieces of your home
Left broken and inhaled
All when dust settles from the barge
All when it settles, all when it settles
Till cleaned and gleaming
Unwrought from the ceiling
And washed down the drain
And fog from the pieces of your home
Left broken and inhaled
When dust falls, it settles
When dust falls, it settles

Ghost Town
Roll into town
With hinged feet swinging
Something unspeakable has happened here
A mountain
There once was life on mars
As there one was life here
Born in the bowels of the dirt
Of horses and cockroaches
Of horses and cockroaches
With heads cut off
Buried face down in the ground
It's time to move on
Break teeth with bullets
And move on

Elbow
Sing, for the blood on the air
Up the length the devils arm
To the tips of his sticky fingers
That scrape the heated tar
All along the side of the road
Sing, for the smoke burning tires
That flies up flared nostrils
And out white widened eyes
Till god deems it fit
To carve this hell on earth from the hills

Orion
I flee
Past the upmost breath of the atmosphere
Past the colours of the night sky
Past the tether of the world
That will hold me down
As my lungs slowly fill with fluid
And the beating of my heart
And the shaking of my skin
Lets me know what is still happening here
I need to calm down
Teeth clamped down on the Belt of Orion
Move on
Teeth clamped down on the Belt of Orion
I flee
Past the snap of sonic boom
And the cracking of my spine
As my head falls of forwards
As I burn through re entry
To a black little sliver
To be poked and pulled and prodded
On a cold hard bench, I'm singing
Need to calm down
Teeth clamped down on the Belt of Orion
Move on
Teeth clamped down on the Belt of Orion
Whittled down
Screaming in the night

Dip ur Toes in Water
Dip your toes in water
Let the dance a silver silhouette
You can drop down to the bottom
But you might just get a little wet
You can drop down to the bottom
You can drop down to the dirt
But I wont believe, I wont believe
You can drop down to the dirt
You can drop down to the silt
But you belong on the skin of the world
So dip your toes in water
Underneath the sunburst reflection of the sky
You can drop down to the bottom
But it only takes a drop, only takes a drop
To drink
