Pet the Bunyip
07:03

House on the hill in the candlelit bog
She sings in the attic a ritual song
The heat of the summer is dancing and dripping along
Bugs are so loud and the nights are so long
She knows it's ending
Casting the shadows back to do her bidding
Scratching her symbols on willow trees
She knows it's ending
As winters finger inches on through the meadows and pastures on it's way to you
A funny feeling comes along that it's not gunna make it
get it's thumb on you
Cuz you know
You're petting the bunyip starting something new
As winters finger inches on and no it's not gunna make it get a hold of it
You think you got it oh but no, no it's really not out there get control of it
Cuz you know, you're petting the bunyip starting something new.
Hung like a shroud over native lands
Lupine sickness sweats your weathered skin
Crack of the hip at the moonless grin
Of your friends and anxious freezing kin
But the woods dont care what your mind says
You go deeper in there quite a distance
By the time anyone looks you in the eyes again there's almost nothing there.
They see you, swallowed in the gates
Didnt need you anymore, thought it too late
I swallow myself in the fallen leaves
Did it inside of your head
Asked you so bluntly the ones you loved
Didnt know what you had said
I didnt think twice about what I had
Found it inside of your bed
Asked you so bluntly the ones you loved
Didnt know what you had said.

Island Red Medicine

Under the cabin
The ship's stern down
You're sitting heavy
You're breathing loud
Until you, you pray for whats a candles length
"I didnt wanna have a face"
Out of the seaweed
Above old town
The fog is rollin
Your dreams burn proud
Until you pray for what's a summers length
"I didnt wanna have a face"
Still you're feeling all the bad time summer vibes
You see it in the drunken zombie eyes
You're the kind of girl I want to recognize
Oh You
But with the sunlight
The breeze blows round
Your motivations,
Your powers bound
Until you, you see the grins the night ones chase
"I didnt wanna have a face"
And in September
The streets calm down
The waves are warming
The Spirits out
And so you
You laugh at what you used to sayj
"I didnt wanna have a face"

Beldam of the winter glides in
Kneels upon the stomach of him
And he knows, What it is
Ancient Weight has ripped her from good dreams
Wicked fevered kaleidoscopic mind tease
And she knows, what it is
Still she cant seem to lose it all
Living in the world to keep quiet and be alone
It's him
Can't win

The Rotting Public

Slow is our thinking
Stepping and abiding all the rules
Going in to the pictures coming out with Goo
Lame is my posture
Crickin and a cracking as I drool
Clever words dont mean nothing when they're spoke by fools
I gotta say that I think you've all been dumb all along
To do, everything they tell you that you need
and stay in the room you built with love and a bong
And watch everything they tell you that you need
Swift is the survey
Daddy wants his data it's his tool
Save a boot for a lickin
Get the lavish Ghoul
Cover your ears kid
No one likes a hero it aint you
Take a dive trustin that the systems made for you
Fantasize the things you didn't do
You'll do them in your dreams while you, keep staying in
And I, Wont think of you

If you need to
Defend your head
If you need
If you want to
Expand your head
If you need
Stop keepin on giving in
To all the freakish ones
If you wanna look into the truth side
Baby it's a think for me
If you wanna look into the old lie
Baby it's a 1,2,3

Dusk with Frau Gula
05:55
|

Snuck out the window and
Met down the river path
In the nite
Why do they come for you?
We'll show them what they are
Make it right
In the deep moon
Foetid cold nite
When the trees move
Gotta hold tight
Wouldn't you please grant me your healing
Please just reveal the signs
I know the need to convey what you're feeling
Show me the piece of mind
Be what you came for
Love one and only
Learn from the evil
Be what you came for

Clue
03:08
|

Swell of the distant lonely
Could you see?
Merge of the big and only
Is it me?
Corpse in the masters chamber
Could it be?
Hair withered back so ugly
Is it me?
I thought you had a clue
Murk in the mask so holy guaranteed
Sweat beading up so slowly
Is it me?
It's not like you were my friend
The moon shines while you're in bed
The snakes bite could clear your head
A dark night swift wind instead
I thought you had a clue

Pesta on the Path
06:47
|

Creeping nearer, she steps on
With your town clearer, the fear spawns
The feeling in the air
Becoming what you fear
Smiles turn to dread
Choir of the dead
But if you show her meaning stay strong
Cuz if the fog's not clearing
She stays long
So take care of what you can
Fight her with your head
Intention calms the dread
Dancing of the dead
In the place where the golden beat is
Look around just to see what follows
There's a chance they could plant the seed here
Into the eyes of the corpse that swallows
And if you need to know
How to keep her from your head
Look to days you've spent alone
With your world inside again
In the summers grips
Where trees reflect the difference of the people
In their words and all
She'll come around
And with the changing of the season
Comes the feeling that the people fall
She'll come around

A Kiss in Terror Tower
04:44

Bare feet across a midnight land
I'd do it just to hold your hand
Moon daughter with a mystic glance
I'd do it for a kiss in terror tower again
Lonely Lonely I'm looking for love
Keep climbing the staircase
The love is above
Terrestrial maiden mother crone
Sings me her elemental poems
Sings to me when I'm all alone
I'd do it cuz the thought of you is all that I know

I listen anxious for your ring
I know it's wrong to think that way
But then the voice I hear it sings
It doesnt sound like me you say
You mentioned voice haunting screams
I didnt know I'd be their prey
If you'd wanna chat a little while
What you'd do to make a mothers child
If you'd wanna make it through to me
What you'd do to make a mothers dreams
Living is hard when you see it through
Loving your people in a purple hue
If obscurity calls and you're feeling bored
Just twiddle your fingers around the phone cord
And if you wanna chat a little while
Then stay, cheat monotony and crack a smile
You'll see if you wanna make it though to me
Then break the empty glass and make a scene

Wax Divination

Didn't mean to light the wick
But baby did you know about it?
Lessons learned with just one drip
And baby did you know about it?
Under the candles whims
Listen to the candles click as wax reveals the truth inside you
Ceromantic Water trick
Your left directions that will guide you
Under the candles whims
And you know you dont have to be anyone
And with each drip, it's clearer that you're not alone
And they see you, they're watching from the spirit home
And you notice your candle dancing all around
And it sooths you, you're moving to the spirit sound
Magick, see it in the sunlight
Be it in the dark night to be
One of us til someone
Finds you in your world and
Pulls you in the moonlight sprinting baby
