I buried my teeth beneath the ground
My spectres coalesce now
Feeding on empty light
An ocean in your mind
Fingers in between my ribs
No matter what, you won’t get in
And I would damn myself
To unending isolation
Oh father, tell me where it hurts
Oh dad, tell me where you bleed
Because we’ve been numb for so long
And I want to get free
Tell me, what does it mean
To be a man
When we can’t stand
To keep our hearts open
And if you were set up for this
How do we unravel it?
Shelter thin and thread gone bare
But you are no longer there

Falling into cycles
We are only flesh, after all
Tears inside my father’s cup
I crawl like a child once more
I can feel the gaps around this pain
Small colours feel new, new again
Again and again
Gentle, open possibility
I can get back the things you took from me
Grief orbits like a comet
Scoring elliptical across the pink sky
And the black dog is still in view
Waiting for the inch that might end me
But I am an alchemist,
I can transform even this
And the question is a needle in my skull
Did I come this far to let you break me?
With every arc of Sun
I stoke embers in my veins
Did you come to extinguish my flame
Like prey?
No
I am the hunter
Ride the danger on the brittle breeze
There’s no blood left for eulogies
Like the anchor of gravity
I can get back the things you took from me

Old dogs in my dreams
Am I becoming one of them?
The ache of forgotten feelings
They spring up like blood in my wells
At my throat, and in
The cracks of my palms
Lie all the ways we did each other harm
This body is too small
My frame can’t bear the force
Of an inferno
With my chest as the source
Darkness settles on my skin
See my halo blister into dust
The sun is going out
And having to let go of you, my spark
Is the regret that will mark my heart

I saw the long night
The sun turned away from us
Steeped in dusk
Dusted with pine needles
I prayed to a forgotten God
Arched moon, arched backs
Tender brittle bones
Erosion’s gentle collapse
A rotten house is not a home
Whose truth is truth
Whose intentions are pure?
Cracks of light chime in the distance
Let instinct be so sure
To guide me to the glow
(A whispering light
A cumbersome spite)
To pierce with crystalline shards
Of light
Three dogs, three castes, three tempers
Going for the jugular
But you were meant to be the anchor
And now
A lost cause

Dust off the garden shears
You’re teetering on the brink of tears
Snip away
Tear out that bleeding heart
Trust that you won’t fall apart
Snip away
Snuff out those blazing stars
Press purple tails in your memoirs
Snip away
Let the coral bells rain down
And gift the earth a silken gown
Snip away
She’s deadheading again
She’s deadheading again
Maybe you don’t even know
If that garden or those dreams will grow
Snip away
But you know you have to dream
The light back around in little beams
Snip away
Wait for hate to leave you
Believe that life will breathe you
Snip away
Wait ’til liars fear you
Wait for love to hear you
Snip away
She’s deadheading again
She’s deadheading again
She’s deadheading again
She’s deadheading again
She’s deadheading again
She’s deadheading again
She’s deadheading again
She’s deadheading again
She’s deadheading again
She’s deadheading again

The waiting room.
I’m drinking coffee
I’m waiting
I’m sitting
I’m drinking coffee
Where the radio waves don’t reach
I’m drinking coffee
And I’m waiting
I’m drinking coffee in the waiting room
I’m drinking coffee in the waiting room
And I’m waiting for the future
Yes I’m waiting for the future
Yes I’m waiting for the future
But where am I now?
But where am I now?
And where are you?
Rain’s gonna wash away the hoods and the umbrellas
Rain’s gonna wash away the keys and the locks
Rain’s gonna wash away the walls of the hospital
Rain’s gonna wash away the hours on the clock
Rain’s gonna come
Rain’s gonna come
Rain’s gonna come
(Do you have a mirror?)
I’m drinking coffee
Rain’s gonna come
(Do you have a mirror?)
Rain’s gonna come
(Come on)

Come and sit down
With us
Come and be here
With us
Breathe
Breathe
Breathe in
Breathe out again
Breathe your breath
As we circle the star
Raise up your hand
If you want to come out
Breathe your breath
As we circle the star
Raise up your hand
If you want to come out
Come down and sit here
Come down and be here
In this garden
Under the sky
Beneath the moon
With us

Three Blind Mice
One of them’s got a gun
They race out of the bank to getaway car
They’re gonna have themselves some fun
Three Blind Mice
They’re beaten, blood-sodden and bruised
But they’re speeding along at a-hundred-and-ten
They’ve got nothing left to lose
Three Blind Mice
There’s a code that they’ve got to uphold
Everyone’s got debts, even farmers and vets
And sometimes they’re best paid back cold
They’ve crashed the car now
They’ve set it alight
Three silhouettes scurrying away from the blaze
And everything will be alright
The dream is gone
But there’s no-one to tell you you’re living it wrong
The dream is gone
No doubts, no fears
No eyes, all ears
Tonight
I’m collecting the tales of Three Blind Mice
And I’m dreaming a story of three wise men
Will somebody please help me take off this mask
I think it’s happening again
The dream is gone
But there’s no-one to tell you you’re living it wrong
The dream is gone
No doubts, no fears
No eyes, all ears
Tonight
I’m a man in a mouse mask
And in my trembling hand is a gun
I’m pissing myself and I want to go home
And I’m blinded by the sun
Three Blind Mice
They know tonight is the one
They squeeze each other’s soft hands one more time
They’re gonna have themselves some fun

What an absolutely extraordinary listening experience. Not for the squeamish or faint of heart, the influences run deep here with strong intonations of early Legendary Pink Dots and Roger Waters. It’s grainy, it’s noisy, but it’s expertly done and utterly captivating. Don’t miss out on this one, folks; grab your CD or tape while you still can.
