Crystal Toes

I can’t give the game away
at the same time every day
at the same time every day
living easy like a breeze
the ocean is emptying
the ocean is emptying
put two sea shells together
imagine the sound in there
imagine the sound in there
fallin’ from the firmament
which is backlit for effect
which is backlit for effect
will there be a shiny sky?
little flecks that catch the light
little flecks that catch the light
might gallstones come out my nose?
will I break my crystal toes?
will I break my crystal toes?

somedays everybody gets a bit beat up
somedays everybody’s had about enough
somedays everybody gets wound up tight
somedays everybody just has to try
somedays everybody takes a face from a jar
somedays everybody is finding it hard
somedays everybody feels a little unsure
somedays everybody has a soul that's sore
I’ll take the path less trodden to your heart
somedays everybody wants to skip the test
somedays everybody could use some rest
somedays everybody is losing sight
somedays everybody has tears in their eyes

Shadow Glow
04:09

if I touched a patch of shadow glow
If my hand possessed life of its own
I’ve been crafting, forging,
swimming for weeks
running round in circles
biting my cheeks
running round in circles
biting my cheeks
if I touched a patch of shadow glow
If my hand possessed life of its own
push a button, would I even know?
put in a request to tell a joke
apology poem
was overlong
that should have been diff’rent,
said ev’ryone
in this elevator
plummeting down
I hear a helluva
lot of sick sound
if I touched a patch of shadow glow
If my hand had a life of its own
push a button, would I even know?
put in a request to tell a joke

High Five Eve
03:53
|
|||
|
from fairies and spirits, we were born
but now we’re human, until the morn
plunders turned to art for our delight
each carefully crafted, a wondrous sight
this magic night
green gems to mine
treasure to find
we all high five
this magic night
green gems to mine
treasure to find
marvellous sculptures, we can't deny
It’s time to stop now, lest fun runs dry
when we’re back at where we’ve always been
we’ll recall this eve of glee obscene
this magic night
green gems to mine
treasure to find
we all high five
this magic night
green gems to mine
treasure to find
we all high five
this magic night
green gems to mine
treasure to find

Kneading Dough
03:24
|

I kneaded my dough so hard
that diamonds formed from flour and lard
but when I crushed it, the shards did cut deep
my arms were sliced off, with no time to weep
kneading dough with all my might
a diamond sparkled in the light
but when I smashed it, the shards were like knives
cutting off my arms, leaving me no lives
bread my goal, I kneaded dough
a diamond appeared, dazzling glow
I crushed it with fists, but what a surprise
the shards cut my arms, much to my demise

Hide Behind A Pixel
04:11
|
|||
|
giant paperclip tormentia
swollen shadow cast of my past
loneliest wire framed polygon
tumbling holographic boulders
a slow slaw of clouds turns to clods
breezy queasy pastoral sweep
horizons are opening up
nowhere left to wait to exist
someone just wants to be ignored
someone just wants to be ignored
try to hide behind a pixel
pneumatic ecstatic wedgies
purring paste trinket contraption
rotten sodden polycotton
some strangers familiar yelling
going about my merry way
I am not doing anything
I'm not going to get involved
I am not playing, I can’t see

I don't like it when you make new friends
I worry what you might get up to with them
I don't like it when you make new friends
while you're out dancing
I’m racing the rain drops alone again
who are these people?
where did you meet?
and most importantly
if you talk about me
then how do you speak
of our relationship?
if you had to describe
how we're living our lives
would you even have the heart?
do you show a different side
that's made of lies
as soon as we're apart?
I don't like it when you make new friends
once it's started then the fun never ends
I don't like it when you make new friends
while you're out dancing
I’m racing the rain drops alone again
who are these people?
where did you meet?
and most importantly
if you talk about me
then how do you speak
of our relationship?
if you had to describe
how we're living our lives
would you even have the heart?
do you show a different side
that's made of lies
as soon as we're apart?
do you wear a disguise
of laughter and smiles
and keep them in the dark?
is it something you hide?
do they see your dead eyes
and wonder where's the spark?
can they easily tell?
is it clear as a bell?
am I hardly being missed?
am I being replaced?
do you see a new face
when your mind is left to drift?
