black hole
oh, zero
bore straight through you
nothing to it
hero; heroine
we love you alone
all alone
keep your eyes on
the horizon
keep your distance or else
be cut by the edge
mother
you've got one in the oven
it found you
like a stream to the ocean
and your child
bullseye
baby's first tooth
canine
oh, keep your eyes on
the horizon
let it go to your head
be torn to shreds
once you get too close
it don't let go...
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
dissolver
now that you've finally got it all
so proud of what you have become
i'm up to my eyeballs in the code
designed to dissolve you and implode
winning me over would be dull
i'll have to demote you as result
the gawking vultures are displaced
darling, let me hold you as we're erased
now we're real
and now that the closure is appraised
this overexposure will take all day
i'm glad you're not going anywhere
we're about to vanish into thin air
remember
when we dissolve
we're real
real
and now that we've got that through you're skull
you don't have to feel so all alone
a wave, a particle or ray
will find a use for you someday
remember
when you dissolve
you're free
free

artificial resuscitation
we are frosty silence
too cold
we are glossy vibrance
to glow
we are acosted science
to know
we are a cross alliance
to gold
so artificial
so superficial
we're living instead.
we are telescopic violence
to show
we are a prompt defiance
too slow
so artificial
so superficial- are you still with us?
so superstitious
cutthroat and vicious

genome II
spend an hour or two
trying to hammer it out
don't amount to wings
though you get a star for effort
spend an hour or two
trying to hammer it out
finally got your wings though
you're no angel
it's the same thing as before
spend an hour or two
looking at my time
held on for way too long
held on for dear life
spend an hour or two
looking at the world
you're not anything that's alive
you're not a ghost
it's the same old old
i got it---
it's the same old old
spend an hour or two
trying to hammer it out
you'll make dust fom you're bones
trying to figure it out
spend an hour or two
trying to hammer it out
and if you feel you're conscience
abandon, run
it's the same old, same old
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
underwing order
just one glance into the box
leveled the temple and law
and what you idealize
have all become lies
while you were laughing it off
i don't bite
first person facade
tired and let down
howling out at night
pulled in undertow we can drag it out
for a lifetime
for so long
well i'm impressed
if we're not in love
i'm gettin' my best- don't doubt it now
just one more drink and i can hardly think
you got it all
move in close
whisper your name
your porcelain hips
your heroin lips
aching
flaming
sinking ships
one leg up above- no, that's not love i'm thinking
you're letting my head go
well i'll be damned
warning light in your head goes off
and i go mayday
could've been the long afterglow

groundhog's lament pt. I
oh, the others other than i don't be afraid now you wear your cloak you know we're right i see a shadow right between you're eyes
are you aware of what it takes? your autograph and two more weeks now you are locked in a room so act your age you are running out of space
now where'd you go? underground? you never rise
this feeling changing shape will you know? when you swap out hearts again will you know? the slice lines will you know? the way to die the talk the walk because.

get to work [it's a priviledge]
forget the floor it never happened i'm getting lost in three dimentias
a garbage fly don't have a hobby we'll be standing by incase the spiders fly they're just standing around what do i pay you for?
it seems you're face is a bit out of place no extremes tastes like mystery soon you're star struck- open up open wide
so suck it up time is money; you're expendable it would be wise for you to embrace a life of misery so drop the fight
stay strong no you're not wrong pray you're faith is strong not lies
get back to work don't solve nothing with words you know you've got to stay right here you lost the fight play strong fake it till they say so lay strong, go

the other side of the glass
where you never go in the back of your mind there's that little voice the one that's not so kind in the dark in the morning in the sad hours of the day in the dust in the floodland in the lust of the day you'll find me
through the placid eye in the blink of an eye you pretend you're an island reliable, right?
but you will never find me in the garbage in the grass in the winter that passed in the dirty glass
in the land in the timeline in the dust of you and i in denial of your love of heights you'll be there lizard eyed
don't you wish you could fly?
bring on the fear how they lied. brother, how they died. how they died

phantom lobotomy pt. II
you say you have dissapointment without a doubt we can smile and we'll be o.k. let it out, feel down, or let it all hang- better that than this virus thing that entered my head that's why i don't really say more than enough lies i know thy name no you don't call it out call it alright
high fly cry
what are they doing you brought it up and brought it on, why? without a doubt, you rotted out and robbed it all blind we'll write it here don't know who will get it all right my mind is this- one egg sunny side up on cast iron
don't let on you just say you want it all right but on the day that you lose you're not at all high no not insane girl, no lord, not at all high no not insane still one phantom lobotomy
the ball you dropped, yes on and on in your terrible mind rotting flowers crawling up on your leg what a neat little veil for all you know you don't know why
-=-=-=-=-=-
angel of the state
say that i don't care still remember the moray there's a lemonade behind you there so you know it's okay
turned around
we all rely on enlargement but now that i'm dying for a little light we put it in a locket we're gonna have to go about it right
gold is glittering lies and flies grow around your eyes
put a little on and you'll learn i'll bet you thought about the boy you like put a little out and they'll know about you
so high a mallet only knew proud and so divine and all is riding on the angel of the state
an eye for an eye.

you can lead a horse to water...
archaic tree is falling for me last week filled up my machine and i can't lead a blind horse to water but sadly he's calling to me
he's staring at me with that hollow horse eye his bones glow green i wonder how he died he's lying to me through his rotten horse teeth but it's pointless you see to kick him when he's deceased
oh, horse skeleton why do you vex me so? it's been weeks so i can sleep- will you please cease your glow?
he's talking to me 'bout his pasture pals and toxin teas; how they lost a few cows but it's hard to believe all the stories he tells let alone how he speaks without a fleshy horse shell

man eating bananas
they give bananas pets open to baseball keep an eye on it- monkeys can't talk
now his evil powers grow is this your world?
can't you stay? we'll get to man eating bananas let the monkeys plan safe in their hideout don't you want our own safety? oh man. i wanted bananas
well i tell you what- you can't roll that coin try talking backwards i can't do that when i'm sober
in my ballcap you waste your snail spitting glass
it's all over boss throw the peel
they gave me a good talking to someone should've come up with a better word for you
they can tell the difference between circles and squares they can tell the difference between apples and pears they can tell the difference between a man and an ape
man eating bananas 1, 2, 3- totally unreal bananas

new EP
the EP is done, and boy are we excited about it!
copies will be available very soon for the incredible price of $5! that's a dollar a song!
here at ocelot corporate headquarters, we are committed to giving you the most bang for your buck!!!
we starved a drunk and set him to the many, many tedious hours of tedious mixing. we paid him nothing as he worked tediously, night and day, until, tediously, he emerged with a sonic trip through time and space, a record with depth and color, expansive and experimental.
anyway, that's our pitch, buy it!
