Stand down
This isn’t what I came for
I’m the man who hides from love (hard love)
Step back
It’s easier at distance
I can only take so much (don’t touch)
It’s all because of you, my love
You fucking broke the trust
So, I’ll hide from love once more
Eyes down
The crocodile tears fall
In an Oscar-worthy turn (bad burn)
Fall back, Your garrison of lovers
Now I choke on bitter pills (you make me ill)
It’s all because of you, my love
You fucking broke the trust
In shadows
It’s all because of you, my love
You went and broke the trust
So, I’ll hide from love once more

Russian Doll

Eyes of steel and cold of blood,
I can be serpentine in your neighbourhood
A long time past, the spy broke food and
Fed it to hiding wolves in a greener wood
Anarchy takes time (did it cross your mind?)
Poison seeps from the Russian doll
Anarchy takes life (Heaven, heal my mind)
Poison leaked from the Russian doll
It’s cruel inside, the lips won’t dry
Passing the orders down to the little guy
A benchmark spill; I avenge thy will
Stripping the cordon down for another try
Anarchy takes time (did it cross your mind?)
Poison seeps from the Russian doll
Anarchy takes life (Heaven, heal my mind)
Poison leaked from the Russian doll
Red reptile, you shed your skin to infect me
Red reptile, you took your bite but I still breathe
Anarchy takes time (did it cross your mind?)
Poison seeps from the Russian doll
Anarchy takes life (Heaven, heal my mind)
Poison leaked from the Russian doll

Infinite

I love your rivers of hair that wind
I love the drape of your limbs that bind
Ungodly hours hail you to storm my dreams
I love the way that we breathe at night
I love the way that you hold on tight
‘Sensual’ defines our theme
You’re the infinite girl when you shadow my world
Now your body’s entwined with your beautiful mind
I love our ethical empathy
I love the pathways of symmetry
Our train of thoughts thunder parallel lines
I love the way that you shoulder me
I love the way that you count on me
I’ll love you through all time
You’re the infinite girl when you shadow my world
Now your body’s entwined with your beautiful mind
You’re my infinite girl, you empower my world
In your body combined with your beautiful mind
Perfection draws a critical line
You’re perfect for all time
You’re the infinite girl when you shadow my world
Now your body’s entwined with your beautiful mind
You’re my infinite girl, you empower my world
In your body combined with your beautiful mind
Beautiful

Loving my ghost in a place where the dead breathe a sigh
Tasting the rain from the window, it keeps me alive
Slave to the gods of the fear and the call of the wild
Lost in her ghost, you save me one day at a time
Lay my head and rip my mind
Exact a place and time
Chill their milk with toxic ice
No one can own your life
Tracing my heart with a finger that once knew the sun
Light on the flesh to perform an uprising of one
Caught in a trap with my ghosts of an era that’s gone
Cursing my captors, I live for the day we are done
Lay my head and rip my mind
Exact a place and time
Chill their milk with toxic ice
No one can own your life

Estrangement

I remember all those winter nights when you came over
I really liked them
And I recall I loved those melodies we wrote together
I really liked them
I think you liked them too
Time goes by
Estrangement took my mind
Would you change it?
Time goes by
Estrangement shook my life
Would you change it?
I remember all that laughter we invoked together
I really felt it
And I recall all of those memories we stitched together
I really felt it
I think you felt it too
Time goes by
Estrangement took my mind
Would you change it?
Time goes by
Estrangement shook my life
Would you change it?
You took flight with no goodbye
You didn’t write; a cold-heart night
I couldn’t guess what I’d done
And now I find I think it’s time
A wrong to right, well, you might not like
Where I’m coming from
I remember all those summer nights when you came over
I really loved you
And I recall all of those melodies we sang together
I really loved you
I think you loved me too
Time goes by
Estrangement took my mind
Would you change it?
Time goes by
Estrangement shook my life
Would you change it?

Learning lines in the rain
Special effects by Loonatik And Drinks
The graveyard scene
The golden years
She's in parties
It's in the can
Freeze frame screen kiss
Hot heads under silent wigs
Fall guys tumble on the cutting room floor
Lookalikes fall on the cutting room door
She's in parties
It's in the can
Learning lines in the rain
Special effects by Loonatik And Drinks
Freeze frame, screen kiss, hot heads, lights and powder
It's patently obvious
She's in parties
It's in the can
Hot lines under a rain of drums
Cigarette props in action
Dialogue dub, now here's the rub
She's acting her reaction
She's in parties
It's in the can

This is Earth and I forsake it
Will the Earth cry when I'm gone?
Here on Earth we war in isolation
Planet Earth has left me numb
I'm in love with TRAPPIST-1, though I'll never see your sun rise
You tore imagination a new hole
I'm in love with TRAPPIST-1, but your children have a dark side
Got a Hippocratic conscience to uphold
Caught in calm, perpetual twilight
Forty light years seems so far
Do you feel the same? Because I cannot breathe
Distant loving breaks my heart
I'm in love with TRAPPIST-1, though I'll never see your sun rise
You tore imagination a new hole
I'm in love with TRAPPIST-1, but your children have a dark side
Got a Hippocratic conscience to uphold
Aquarian sun, give me TRAPPIST-1
As the feeling burns and the dreaming yearns
Aquarian sun, give me TRAPPIST-1
(I'm in love with TRAPPIST-1, though I'll never see your sun rise)
As the feeling burns and the dreaming yearns
I'm in love with TRAPPIST-1, but your children have a dark side
(As the feeling burns and the dreaming yearns)

Until The Next Show

It’s a matter of how you perform, we open Friday night
The thundering hooves drown out the carefully-mused
What a strange animation to draw; I had to time it right
And now a vision of you flips my mind
I’m wise to the people leeching colour from your eyes
I’ll write you a sequel you’ll care about in time
The cries of hyena, as they worry lambs at night, won’t flow
Until the next show
Insomuch as I’ve been here before, my focus stays in tight
Pulling shards from my hand, I’m a lucky man
Two heads are better than one as our darkened words shed light
Come and play with my friends; they won’t bite
I’m wise to the people leeching colour from your eyes
I’ll write you a sequel you’ll care about in time
The cries of hyena, as they worry lambs at night, won’t flow
Until the next show
High time we broke the mould
To my mind, you’re a physical soul
And everyone wants everyone
Time behaves when we least need a pause; the end is almost nigh
Teasing scraps from the bone, we hate to be alone
Sharp lines have an angular cause and I cut them with your knife
Should we bleed for a week or for life?
I’m wise to the people leeching colour from your eyes
I’ll write you a sequel you’ll care about in time
The cries of hyena, as they worry lambs at night, won’t flow
Until the next show
