As they oxidise
I take a deep dive in
Have my lips gone blue
I can’t see them
I’ve lost my body again
But is it moving
We’re suffering
We’re leaving
You need a chorus boy
You need some fresh ones
In
Out
Let
Me
In
Number
One
Vibe
Killer
Pre-Drink
Two Can Legend
Number
One
Vibe
Killer
Pills
Smoke
Drink
Pass
Out
Oh what a sorry scene
Another casualty
You’ve lost your body
Lack of movement
Why doesn’t it move you
Mirror to my mouth
Just looking for paths through

Feel sick felt sicker
Coming up quicker
Solidly on the floor
Solidly on the ceiling
Forfeit my breathing
Keep track of what lines went unsaid
All the house plants were dead
But kept a jar of green under the bed
And set up the garden furniture instead
It’s exhausting
Constant absence
Constantly exhausted
Making contact obsessively
Broke bread with the dead and let the lot in
And sought to stem the flow with soft enforcement
Flies swarming at the stitches
Sees one the whole room starts itching
Cut the limb off it’ll be easier than living
Is what he says dark humour or grave digging
The day began and continued as I intended
The silence started and remained open ended
I can’t relate in anyway with how your feeling
Do you want green or darjeeling
Feel sick felt sicker
Coming up quicker
Solidly on the floor
Solidly on the ceiling
Forfeit my breathing
Writing my woes on a shred of paper
stabbing my self with a pen
Ink to the heart brain in two
Miss my family miss my friends

Knives out knives out knives out
pavement made for the blackout
Pass out
Retinas to pupils
Third eye incisions
Fever dreams
an exorcism
Cement between brick
Bricks upon bricks upon bricks
Catch a taste of your own breath
Catch your death
Catching eyes
Eyes eyes eyes eyes
At least 5
Never again
Take and take
Phase in phase
My drinking days
Are far from over
Left myself on the floor
Racked with convulsions
Due to a penchant for
Over indulgence
I’m fading away
Astral project from the ashtray
Leave my body
I’m a state
Paper skulls they are just ink and
Take and take
Phase in phase
My drinking days are far from over

You sold us out
A living wage
An honest days work
For a sub par pay
Another bend another break
Burn the rich
Privileged fool
King for a day
Hollow fame
Memories serve me well
The old gods of currency and wealth
Horizontal or vertical
The lines are all red
Blue bloods run thicker through hell
They shouted down and said
Let them strive
Let them eat bread
No change
No shame
Save pennies for pupils
Under the eyelids
We’re furloughed
Or just let go
I’m racking debt up to survive
I’m spending just to survive
I’m breaking banks and renting time
I’m Coasting the red line
Whether or not
You bought it or sold
Contributed to the choke hold
Broke necks and bankrolled
No remorse lost house holds
I’m feeling spent
Day one spent my whole pay check
Another bend another break

Upon first listen, the voice reminds me of Julia Holter (who I love!), but the arrangements are more organic. When the final track bowed out with a whisper, I was sad it was over. Lovely work.
