So damn nonchalant, you sign up for your battles.
Focus unshackled from altered angles
And time spent wondering and weighing up designs
Caught in conjuring an air of inattention
For all the faces around the table
Are you done gathering your validation stockpile
Injured, shy twice, defensive mood
Put up after heavy storms of misfortune
Isolated collection of your
Fallacies and anomalies, under the hood
Curt and condescending, every single time
I tangle with you, there's always an angle
While you're squandering away our tiny chapter
Feigning common ground to pave the way to laughter
Until you tire your appetite for
Cultivating those arrays of empty pastimes
Injured, shy twice, defensive mood
Put up after heavy storms of misfortune
Isolated collection of your
Fallacies and anomalies, under the hood
Furtive hold on your intimacy
Forgive our dry lips for questioning
How exclusively we came to be
A sounding board for your posturing

Timid
03:36
|
|

Timid legs and square pegs to file
And fashion my predilection to fret
Forget your paradigm.
Lucky guessing’s what you know,
You say "Right twice ain’t broke.
So let go of your eager
Penchant for conspiracy"
Anecdotes to spin and gloat
In spite of all, you just shrug and keep it cold
Swept under the rug
Of our careful masquerade
In every exchange
Riding on your brave association game
Did you not try other avenues unspent
Intuition caught in comma spouting surf
Streaming between unraveling fingers

Opportunist
03:15

|

Wait, I need more time
Computational colliding mess aside,
Preliminaries
A crate and crowbar state
Padlocked boxes in a circular array
Pasted grimacing
Palpitation
Pulpit
Framed in discrete time
Stowed away so brace for either peaceful flight
Or emergency
Palpitation
Pulpit
Consequential tendrils creeping in
Opportunist, your risk

Wireless
04:01

|

Among the wireless tendrils I see you
Across the acres of white noise
Telephone towers that puncture the skyline
Distended estuaries leaking
(Leaking)
Among the quiet, in twilight I see you
Wandering mind without institute
I cross the wires, introspect and control
Chaotic details in situ
I can think of nothing but this machine
Whether you stumble through, onwards I propagate
Under the traffic lights drilled into the concrete
After we open ourselves up to commiserate
Among the satellites strung up in outer space
Your new contraption works,
Built upon circuit boards and welded to us;
Shadow fingers tickle clouds smothering isolated words
Sung in the night at home and heard by a million

Mantelpiece
03:15
|
|
||
Face limp, mind muddled; brain on a stick
A talking tangerine
Shaking limb chassis, blessed with a
Spotlight insecurity
Twenty pairs unbroken,
Open eyed expectant gazes drill through kneecap bones And tendons to twisted tongue
Twenty grin melee
Armed to the teeth we’ll sprawl your mantelpiece
Brave candidates for a dust-caked
Display of favoured memories
Twenty pairs unbroken,
Open eyed expectant gazes drill through kneecap bones And tendons to twisted tongue
Why can’t you just function
Everybody needs some interaction in the headlights
Confidence rubs off

Platitudes
03:36
|
|
||
Polymer chains of ones and zeros
Turn all the tradesmen into gods
Crispr and leaner by the generation
Anybody's secret
Allow me to entertain and whisper
With open palms against your cheeks
Not catching on, we’ll automate the humble
You ain’t gonna need it
All of us still believe
The truth is somewhere in between
These opportunities
But lost in common apathy
All of us still believe
Virtues are few and far between
Hear my appeal, dear friends
Your platitudes burn under the lens

Percolator
04:07
|
|

Fake Christmas candlelight, and after
Frustrated evening entertainment
No green room on the side tonight, disaster
For masochistic innovator
You look so sweet in your melancholic candour,
Dropping lids in the night.
And in your dreams of augmented trees, your fleeting sleepy insights:
A little scornfulness detected
When all is said and percolated
All your antipathies aside, collected
But left without your consolation
You look so sweet and forgotten in your anger,
Sleeping inside
|

Capture
03:06
|
|
||
Capture and destroy
Arrest and dissect
Idiosyncratic go-to
Assess and reject
Backed up borderline
Your queue to analyse
With habitual composure
Arrest and correct
Claptrap confidence
A fronted element
Keep it all inside your temple
Suppress and reject
Silencing reactionary oversight for all verbal assertion
Bursting at the seams in a plastic bag
Are you still glad that you held your peace?
