1. THE UNKNOWN KNOWS

On this train will it always rain
Try to analyze this led venture
Songless sky digital bug-eye
Octogonal seams so much clearer
Indiscrete status incomplete
To provide me with something better

Things come and go
This world is droll
All that I know
The Unknown knows

Talk to me you flying shadows
Wandering into the ozone stew
Keep your myths from the embryos
Who would misconstrue anything new
An outright official fiasco
Can you shiled me from the drastic truth

Times come and go
How dull the flow
All that I hope
The Unknown knows

Have some sign come to me
That I am in their league
Back down to reality

Look about response is wanting
Events are carefully on display
Common sense a gift is given
But mystic mistakes are never made
Suspecting premature daydreams
I surrender to ritual grey

I come and go
Endless approach
I must be close
The Unknown knows

Why all this commotion now

Stop - wait

I wish I knew the one who knows

Yesterday will come
With tomorrow's sun
And merry-go-round
Stuck on muddy ground
Nineteen yelping fools
Half-wits spouting drool

Half of which have some
The others have none

I knew all along


2. NOTHINGFACE

May I - may I

Valves plugs pump to erase
Rictus from my face

Lapse of time
Synchro freeze
Loop rewind
Forward speed

Will to walk
Crossed out feet
Fingers tall
Far from reach
Mind to talk
Still words bleed

Lapse of time
Synchro freeze
Loop rewind
Forward speed

Optic box
Melted through
Sonic shock
Silent clue
Drop by drop
Drain-out tube

I hope I need
I want to dream

Cold choke choke cold

I float unseen
Outside the screen

Cold choke choke cold

A wish extreme
Awaiting the stream

Lapse of time
Synchro freeze
Loop rewind
Forward speed

Lapse of time
Synchro freeze
Loop rewind
Forward speed


3. ASTRONOMY DOMINE

Lime and limpid green
The second scene
The fights between
The blue you once knew

Floating down the sound resounds
Around the icy water underground

Jupiter and Saturn
Oberon there on the run
Titanian Neptune Titan
Stars get frighten

Lime and limpid green
The second scene
The fights between
The blue you once knew

Floating down the sound resounds
Around the icy water underground

Jupiter and Saturn
Oberon there on the run
Titanian Neptune Titan
Stars get frighten

Winding signs flap
Flicker flicker flicker flap

Pow

Stairways scared
And death rules there

Blindman limpid green the sound
Surrounds the icy water on the lime
And limpid green the sound surrounds
The icy waters underground


4. MISSING SEQUENCES

Sleeping sky
Winding walk
Breezing by
Ravaged rock

Swarming locust-land
Spiders spinning sand
Grubbing enterprise
No time to reply

Reply

Down - down far underground
Prime spot
Sound - sound ten thousand mounds
Live-stock

Stupendous flaking fume
Tremendous dancing doom
Smoke stack spill
Momentous reeking ooze
Enormous creaking crew
Vapour-ville

Neuro-link dementia
Limbo-Inc. amnesia

I did I didn't know
I think I should go

Go

Bio-atrophy
Doxite double-wind
Forgetful retry
Retry

Down - down far underground
Prime spot
Sound - sound ten thousand mounds
Live-stock

Aphasic clouded cult
Synaptic planet pulse
Lost engram
Ellusive mythic doubt
Reactive spastic pause
Dis-programmed

Which was right
Who knows when
Where was that
Who knows when

Do I know how
Where to go now
Mother lose out
Do I know how
Where to go now
Mother lose out


5. X-RAY MIRROR

Tunnel seems so long touching the bottom
A slim reflexion punctured my vision
I didn't notice beside the last door
Standing on nothing there was a mirror

Even inside scrutinized
I am he is the face I hate
Refracting cells and prismed self
Who's x who's y in a blank place

I can't believe this is my image
Like the mirror without a frame

Baring a scarred side open in daylight
Recoil and reply farside of my pride
The introspection ruptures the blood core
Magnification draws out the mirror

Seeking me out what will he find
I am he is a repugnant state
I can't shake this curiosity
My privacy starts to fade

Fade - fade away

I can't believe this is my image
Like the mirror a polar exchange
He gloating over my fleeting image

He used to be me
He knows who is free

How long will I wait here
Stuck in this void place here

I can't believe I am the image
Within the mirror into the chrome lake
The glass is broken but I look the same


6. INNER COMBUSTION

Crucible heats up arsening mercury
And acid concoct hermetic theory
Hydrogen vapours exclusion principle
It's never over for ever practical

And I try throughout time
Any rite for the sign

Light rebounds
Pure neon
I surround
All am I I am all

Fluorescent light pellucid mineral
Essential dogma excludes the logical
Immobile centre one two three for nothing
Projection ponder under a raven's wing

And I try throughout time
Any rite for the sign

Light rebounds
Pure neon
I surround
All am I I am all

Catalyst fusion
Inner combustion
A transmutation

For I am all

Light rebounds
Pure neon
I surround
Light rebounds
Pure neon
I surround

Surround - surround
Surround - surround


7. PRE-IGNITION

Hey you tell me what's your call name
Closed negative display
Engaged on section three
The acrid factories
You putrid perfect product
Proper platinum parts
Proficient prototypes
Steadily spew from these pipes

Are you novel stroke of design
Or relics from this mine

Are you generated by waste
Arid quarry displaced
Environmental squeeze
Aluminum disease
You conscious of origin
Intent is in the wind
Atmosphere infected
Descendants defected

Are you novel stroke of design
Or relics from this mine

Casually choke noxious nourishment
Embodied illicit cure

Ground and rock and sand come crumble tumble down

Grinding round the hydraulic wheel
Extraction the ultimate greed

Now hidden from view
Surveying stable shifts
A feeble groove
Unintentional split

Then they return to work
As if they're not disturbed
Cybernetic beings
Omniscent regiment

Thriving with vigor
Incessant loom
An assumed order
Auspicious tool

Franticly flow spumous sediment
Remedied neurotic fuse

Ground and rock and sand come crumble tumble down

Yonder sound an echoing gong
Disjunction of their disowned gods

Now some are set free
Emotions flood their gaze
Synthetic breed
The pre-ignition phase

Pre-ignition flares up in you
Pre-ignition provokes me too


8. INTO MY HYPERCUBE

In my backyard
Sounds turn around
Down fall apart
In my playground

In my dome on my own
A locked throught in a closet
Splinter moves cracking moans
Dank angles in the attic

Sixth sense stockpiled in the cellar
And the ladder is broken
Memories sleep in dust
This shelter is doubtful

Blind windows flat eyes
Stitched tight into time
Til I rise unbound

Transient illusion
Clairvoyant suspension
Translucid condition
Principal connection

Rise high
Rise higher

Shing shallow spirit shadows
Shing shallow spirit shadows

Blind windows flat eyes
Stitched tight into time
Til I rise unbound

Transient illusion
Clairvoyant suspension
Translucid condition
Principal connection

Rise high
Rise higher

Shing shallow spirit shadows
Shing shallow spirit shadows

Tumult in the dark
Telestrobic heart
Murmur of the muse
Whispering amused

Fulfilling this square
Circled in my lair
Am I not awake
This ever forever

Fulfilling this square
Circled in my lair
Am I not awake
This ever forever

Perhaps faulty premonition
Perhaps this doesn't change anything
But for certain I will be hanging around

Nether falling
Wisdom's dipping
Spiral stairway
Logic's dripping

Silent squeeze shrinking scene
This remains my domain
Grave intrigue I'm relieved
All these stains left unnamed

Grinches snicker sneer at he
Like grinning Cheshire cats
Running amuck mad crazy
This cuboid upside down cell


9. SUB-EFFECT

The one go down is alive
It is part of my flight
The one inside makes a sign
And keeps an eye to the light

I sense panic overboard
Obscure viscid sprawling fog
I hear a sonar rumour
That says I'm far from the shore

How I am stricken with non-emotion
It crawls up above persicopic cognition
Where it strives to dwell in abnormal contortion

I navigate in my maze
Investigate to be safe safe safe safe

Across the ocean of sheer compromise
There is no matrix not even a guide

The last wave of sanity
Rolls over my frequency
Skyline under water field
The depths above the high seas

How I am stricken with non-emotion
It crawls up above persicopic cognition
Where it strives to dwell in abnormal contortion

I navigate in my maze
Investigate to be safe safe safe safe

Across the ocean of sheer compromise
There is no matrix not even a guide

A twilight house keeper dim-on dim-off now
A concrete cyclops blinking down his dull eye
Does this code signal something somewhere somehow
Why me it goes on and on and on

Please no - no

Too late for S.O.S.

Mute island fish-eye view circling the border line
No resource no rescue I'm stranded I'm otherwise
The error is perfect like this sub-effect of my kind

My mind - my mind

The one go down is alive
It is part of my flight
The one inside makes a sign
And keeps an eye to the light

To the light
