Track Name: restaurant
And I’m driving in my car and I know that I can’t go very far ‘cos the dash says
so, I’m low.

Well I coulda told you that, I coulda shown you, that but if I opened up I might
swallow you whole.

There’s a restaurant I really want to go and I will sit and order so many dishes I
couldn’t possibly eat them all.

I’ve been a parasitic kleptomaniac when I’ve lacked but I’ve always kept my head
above the brim: the meniscus.

And I wanna go where nobody knows me.
To feel the liberty of sweet anonymity.

And my dress size shrinking down as my hunger’s up and the puddles seep onto
my feet, they get cold.

Well I coulda been a star, I coulda gone so far, but if I opened up they might
swallow me whole.

There’s a woman who I really hope to know, and I will sit and ask her so many
questions she couldn’t possibly know them all.

I’ve been a Clytemnestric femme fatale, behind my suitor’s backs I kept my heart
beneath the brim, the meniscus.

And I wanna go where nobody knows me.
To feel the liberty of sweet anonymity.

I wanna go where nobody knows me…
Track Name: bring her back
You are seventeen minutes late,
I fall down with the worry waves.
I cannot reconcile the fear,
that one day I won’t have you here.

Bring her back, bring her home,
bring her safe and bring her close to me.
Otherwise my heart will stop,
and no one will come close, you see.

Bring her back, bring her home,
bring her safe and bring her close to me.
Otherwise the world will stop,
and everything will cease to be.

I’m on my knees making deals with God,
and my belly’s in tangled knots.
And the panic will not be still,
worry waves thunder on until you,

Bring her back, bring her home,
bring her safe and bring her close to me.
Otherwise my heart will stop,
and no one will come close, you see.

Bring her back, bring her home,
bring her safe and bring her close to me.
Otherwise the world will stop,
and everything will cease to be.

You are twenty one minutes late.
Track Name: sleeping conniptions
Come on then stars,
come on then stars.

Several severed old connections,
are never getting fixed,
they’re never getting fixed.

Several sleeping old conniptions
are never getting fits,
they’re never getting fits.

Come on the stars you showy little suckers,
perforate the dark I dare you.

And then I wonder why
it is I lay down dry.
I am a pendulum of mood.

And then I wonder why,
it is I lay down dry.
I am a pendulum of mood.

Come on the stars you showy little suckers,
perforate the dark I dare you.

And then I wonder why,
it is we have to die
I am a pendulum of mood

And then I wonder why,
it is we have to die
I am a pendulum of mood

Come on then love, and bring me all your aching,
permeate the dark I dare you.

Come on the stars you showy little suckers,
perforate the dark I dare you.
Track Name: ancestors
I break bread without you,
I am without cause.
All the spring my middle eye and me,
we sit and see through walls.

And I’m sure our Ancestors didn’t get it together just to
Spawn are lovelorn and drifting endeavours gonna,
Find some reasons behind these darn rhymes,
Do some just to my bloodline.

I lose faith without you,
I am without name.
All the while my sense of self and me
We turn black in flame.

And I’m sure our forefathers didn’t cast their shadow just to
Lose our way and belief in the quid pro quo,
I’m swimming hard in a sea of mediocrity,
‘Gainst a ruling fat cat majority.

I break bread without you,
I am without cause.
All the spring my middle eye and me,
We sit and see through walls.
Track Name: isobel
Baby Isobel,
grown inside a shell.

Made of loving angel bites,
gums of beauty bright.

In their proud eyes dear girl,
you are a shining pearl.

Tiny backbone in his hands,
toes like grains of sand.

Baby Isobel,
grounds for hearts to swell.

Boys will brighten at your side,
won’t walk from you but glide.

In her grown bones dear child,
the earth was harsh and wild.

Since you smiled and grabbed her hair,
the earth has been repaired.
