White Light
11:17

through to December a queen's fat lie
rings out a pearly gong
my word a humour bomb sound on hold
go slow it won't it won't stay long
say not a sausage timely fashion can
time is clapping time is rope for hanging too
a five fingered knife push comes to shove
boring entrails hollowing hollowing through
why ever come with wood and strings
why ever come to sad sings
why ever did the many sing
sing and shout of the few
to rhyme land and then i'll sell myself
while i pray for green through white
cut the riddles clean float the wallowing sea
go slow it's hot it's hot and tight
the time luck myth the available trend
time is clapping time is rope for catching falls
sun crashes through night bathing in the light
thaw hut choking with snow tall it's no fall
how ever does a new song begin
how ever does a song sing
how ever come the heady sing
sings and sounds out so true
all you ever see of me
is not what's underneath
all you ever seem to see
that's all you really seem to see of me
do i dare be one of those
who shines white light and wants to show
the outsider steps into the spotlight
blindingly bright it's hot and tight
the sun crashing like cymbals splits apart the sky
o violent light o giver and taker of life
the transformer summons forth another life
all too aware that all must die
from just a glint in the eye
to explosions in the sky

hey
i know a million other songs start this way
but that's okay
hey
let's put it this way
i'm game if you are game
let's play let's play let's play let's play
a little back and forth down south up north
you first me second and or third and fourth
or we can always switch
we are here now here we are
back and forth third and fourth
put this here and put that there
quick slow down quick
hit the brake before we break
if you make a mistake just do it again
they'll think it's what you meant
dancing on the ceiling
fucking without feeling
love without confusion
it's all illusion
see look at this way
the circle is a square
he says get lost, get found or get lost
or we could just get lost
if you make a mistake just do it again
they'll think it's what you meant
and if it's good do it again repetition again and again
i can hear chanting in the distance can't you?
we'll come back to that
do what you can with what you have right now
written in Infinite Jest:
"and lo, for the earth was empty of form and void. and darkness was all over the face of the deep. and we said look at that fucker dance."
it takes one to know one
it takes two to tango
three cheers for the DJ
and four on the floor
five fingered discount
six feet i'm under
seven i'm in heaven
and eight i'm on the black ball
so many plans i'm out of headroom
but deciding to do nothing is hardly a decision at all
what's a free radical to do with all these
maps and plans and charts and formulae
colour by numbers and keep within the lines
a free and independent may just choose to do so
to know's one's limitations is to have none
hey
i know a million other lives and loves start this way
but that's okay hey let's put it that way
i'm game if life's a game let's play let's play let's play
a little back to front publicity stunt
i keep thinking who's keeping score
or remembers the number we started with
we can hear now hear ye hear ye
back and forth play the ball
you put this here i'll put that there
get down quick i'll hit the spot before i stop
if you make a mistake just do it again
i'll know exactly what you meant
running without panting
singing without chanting
new days replace the ancient ways
yeah you could see it that way
but this feeling is always there
and if it's good do it again repetition again and again
i hear chanting in the distance
can't you hear it? we'll come back to that
do what you can with what you have right now
so many plans i'm out of headroom
but deciding to do nothing is hardly a decision at all
what's a free radical to do with all these
maps and plans and charts and formulae
colour by numbers and keep between the lines
a free and independent may just choose to do so
written in Infinite Jest:
"you compete with your own limits to transcend self in imagination and execution. disappear inside the fame: break through limits: transcend: improve: win. you seek to vanquish and transcend the limited self whose limits make the game possible in the first place. it is tragic and sad and chaotic and lovely.
life's endless war against the self you cannot live without."

Echoes
05:31

i'm making me over
i'm making new out of the oldest stuff
(we're all made of starstuff)
echo! echo!
with all the doubles that i've made
echo! echo!
sending out another wave
every wave that breaks
it shapes and makes
an echo go through me
it shakes and breaks
kicking through the sand
the time it's taking to know myself
is the time it's taking to go right back around to the start
(we're all made of starstuff)
echo! echo!
to make is to break
echo! echo!
and to break is to make
make the silence break some noise
every atom in me
was something else before
but every atom in me
has never been right here right now before
you'll find nothing that's done today
is nothing more than an echo of ancestral days
(we're all made of starstuff)
echo! echo!
everything that you've been through
echo! echo!
and everything you will ever do
echoes through you now
and it is what makes you you
and it is what makes me me
it's all creation
to make is to break
and to break is to make
it makes me make me
