Bloody Drips

Bloody Drips

There's something warm as bloody drips
When we are touching fingertips
And running through Dunedin ways
With burning neon for the day,
Where all about is whirling light
I think I've drunk enough tonight
To be my own self undilute
And tell you that you're more than cute
But that's just bloody drips and booze
'Cus being horny's never news
For all the chemicals we buzz
We're little more than monkey fuzz
And though this night is going well
I know I'll wake up in a smell
That makes me want to grimly boke
And so I'm glad we've never poked
For life is nauseous twisting mass
And we're reflections in a glass
Of moulding faces leaking spores
And that's why I won't taste your ichor.

Sinkhole

Sinkhole

Memory's as dark as pitch
With a sinkhole for a head
Well I try to fill it up
The bottles crowd my bed

People come and go as dreams
Or nightmares to be drowned
And drinking alone through the day
Is the only peace I've found

In my dreams you're still wriggling
But my human being has died
And in the place of myself
This toxic dump abides

People come and go as dreams
Or nightmares to be drowned
And drinking alone through the day
Is the only peace I've found

Let me sleep an alchie's sleep
Bring me the pill-head's crown
Let me fall into the world
For evermore down

As Shadows The Sun Bred

As Shadows The Sun Bred

Prepared for
My night's work
Killing like
Hare and Burke
Smothered till
Blackness comes
Deep abyss
I'm your son
In my dream
Altar's laid
Virgin's called
To the blade
Sacrosanct
Murder scene
Rubbed down with
Vaseline

Fools fools fools you bloody fools are gonna die
Fools fools fools drooling fools

A lesson
In justice
A talent
You'll witness
As shadows
The sun bred
We'll be cast
By hatred

Worship my
Collection
Waiting for
Perdition
Missing folk
Some surprise
In a blink
Of my eye
Once you pass
Through death's jaw
Stripped to bones
By my saw
Early morn
Surgery
We'll be cured
You and me

Fools fools fools you bloody fools are gonna die
Fools fools fools drooling fools

A lesson
In justice
A talent
You'll witness
As shadows
The sun bred
We'll be cast
By hatred
Like echoes
A voice rings
You'll vibrate
On my strings
As day breaks
So will you
Stood in light
I'll be new

Fools fools fools you bloody fools are gonna die
Fools fools fools drooling fools

Thousand Year Syntax Tree

Thousand Year Syntax Tree

Subconscious automatic membrane pulse
Aphasic mumbled belief in choice
A thousand year syntax tree
Dropping nodes sporadically
Recursive scan through the grammar
Beating iron with a hammer
Till it comes, total control
And the beast has crept out from its hole
Its muzzle digging for the fruit
The one obsession claims the brute
With reddened eyes and shredded paws
The blood drips slowly from its claws
Taking control through sacrifice
To jolt the wheel and load the dice
Erase compassion, halt your sighs
And fix the dealer with your eyes

Waster

Waster

Waste shoots down municipal tunnels
Gargles through holes
Is stirred with chemicals till sterile
Then pumped into the waters

I dwell on the thought that my molecules
Will return pristine to the biosphere
The recycling gives me comfort

I will become waste too

Opioid Receptor

Opioid Receptor

I feel those endorphins exploding now
Roaring up my spine
The blackened sea dividing right before my bow
Now the ocean's mine
My skin is falling off like a banana peel
In this caustic tank
The rush that follows suffering on its heel
Spins my cogs and cranks

We all try to touch them in so many ways
Some of us take drugs
Your brain produces chemicals every day
We're living as bugs
You can stop the paranoia hammering in
As you grab the knife
Write yourself a love poem in your skin
Seduce yourself with life

Your Love Has Been Cut

Your Love Has Been Cut

Your love has been cut with inactive dust
And when I take a line this thickening rust
On my heart doesn't crack so thin is the dope
Yet my need for it is wrapped around me like rope
In rings and in knots I wait for the waves
Of dopamine shots for I am a slave
To euphoria, the prime mortal bliss
That I do not feel in the void of your kiss
