Luminous

still hear the voice of rael
remember the lamb lies down
the inspiration of wish you were here
close to the edge
nervous in my heart
the sunsets loop unmade
the neurosurgeon’s
cutting out the heartbreak
that helps us create
all the art that’s never realised
all the films that are never shown
all the visions of making real life
luminous
undercover man
you never sold out your soul
lady supermarket and the moonshake
of tangerine dreams
soft machines in traffic
king crimson all out in red
the silent corner and the empty stage
supper’s ready
all the art that’s never realised
all the films that are never shown
all the visions of making real life
luminous
deep god just flies off
failures on my watch
the art’s switched off
something feels scrambled
sound waves are black paint
the arthouse is closed
pictures and heart waves
shut down
layers and slipstreams
broken up
fusion of checkmate
played out
the gates of delusion
closing now
closing now

we are going too fast
driving past everything
out of sequence
untitled rhythms of harm
in klimt’s car
all the songs we love
unknown pleasures
her username is anarchic curves
but we don’t know where she is
the password no one knows
she’s always on her own
starless changed everything
they don’t want you to know
home made models
play their games
dancing in a cage
of nostalgia
something flickers
across jodie comer’s
face unlocks
her orange lava
her username is anarchic curves
but we don’t know where she is
the password no one knows
she’s always on her own
starless changed everything
and now they’re something else
the starless play their song
they’re going to change the world
the newness will be gone
still lives of john lennon
meaningless meaningless
a batik of the hourglass
meaningless meaningless
a boutique called progress
all the music and art
all the cinemas lost
on the highway
forget everything you loved
useless junk
the defunct god of inner meaning
her username is anarchic curves
but we don’t know where she is
the password no one knows
she’s always on her own
starless changed everything
and now they’re something else
the password no one knows
she’s always on her own
starless changed everything
and now they’re something else
the starless play their song
they’re going to change the world
the newness will be gone
still lives of John Lennon
meaningless meaningless
meaningless meaningless
meaningless meaningless
meaningless

Cogs
06:47
|
|||
cogs in the wheel
mean nothing to me
schizoid worms
in the gallery
toxic germs
and emotional thieves
if you’re not useful
you’re no good to me
your secret flowers
mean nothing to me
who cares about context
i will trash your dreams
useless deadbeats
culture freaks
you’ve lost the battle
lost reality
use the media
we are shoreless
imagination’s dead
bleach out every single inspiration
the purpose is to switch off
who they are
dress it up
like it’s something from the heavens
make them feel they’re individual
industrialise the misery
map out the spectres
to destroy their dreams
track down the freaks
and their heresies
make them bleed
in their recipes
use the media
we are shoreless
imagination’s dead
bleach out every single inspiration
the purpose is to switch off
who they are
dress it up
like it’s something from the heavens
make them feel they’re individual
dangerous
dangerous
individuals
dangerous
dangerous
individuals
they will corrupt you
they will debase you
challenging the world
questioning everything
bleach out every single inspiration
the purpose is to switch off
who they are
dress it up
like it’s something from the heavens
make them feel they’re individual

the bands are on the run
and there’s nothing
that can save them now
they’ve all been shocked and drugged
all those memories lost
their nightmare has begun
all the loops of biased data runs
cuts deep in the brain
their programmed soul is tamed
pillbox and lollipops
the groupthink of always lost
starstruck and starless
drunken night skies
in the propaganda afterglow
the brain’s been washed clean
of its dark lust dreams
they love the lies
they are happy in the system now
realities are locked
social media is god
pillbox and lollipops
the groupthink of always lost
starstruck and starless
(Chorus)
hijacked and hypnotised
the wonder that’s monetised
the playlist of lemonade
space without memories
half floating confessions
space without memories
half floating confessions
lost touch with reality
lost touch
talent for tyranny
the backdrop unnoticed
strange psychosis
no sense of focus
dead dark of lollipops
all singing all dancing
the doctrine protects them
space without memories
half floating confessions
space without memories
half floating confessions
lost touch
lost touch
lost touch

Invisible Ricochets
06:14
|
|||
it’s van der graaf
day today
you’re running through a film
without a plot
cameras are everywhere
to track you down
the liminal space
the airport lounge
the hotel hallway in the dark at night
journeys through all the
quantum levels of doubt
in between it all
the destination unknown
invisible connections
invisible potentials
invisible ricochets of lifting veils
in between it all
the destination unknown
invisible connections
invisible potentials
invisible ricochets of lifting veils
imaginary space
forever changes
imaginary space
opens up the skies
the world is bigger than us
the nuance of feeling close to creating trust
the sensual space
forever changes
the sensual space
always new and fresh
the world is bigger than us
the nuance of feeling close to infinite touch
infinite touch
the world is bigger than us
in between it all
the destination unknown
invisible connections
invisible potentials
invisible ricochets
ricochets

Shoreless
04:43
|
|||
we’ve wiped their memories
we’ve warped them
we’ve stripped them of their culture
we’ve cut their empathy
we’ve cut up
their imagination
their ways of being
we’ve taken everything
we’ve ripped out
we’ve ripped out the pulsing heartbeat
we are shoreless
we are lollipop
we’ve ripped out the pulsing heartbeat
we’ve ripped out the pulsing heartbeat
these deviants of desire
we’ve crushed them
we’ve smashed up their burning buildings
these rebel narcissists
we’ve plagued them
they’re washed up in strangeland
we’ve taken everything
we’ve ripped out
we’ve ripped out the pulsing heartbeat
we are shoreless
we are lollipop
we’ve ripped out the pulsing heartbeat
we’ve ripped out the pulsing heartbeat
we’ve cut their energy
we’ve suppressed them
we’ve burnt all their pictures
these freaks that resonate
these parasites
they’re nothing
nothing like us
we’ve taken everything
we’ve ripped out
we’ve ripped out the pulsing heartbeat
we are shoreless
we are lollipop
we’ve ripped out the pulsing heartbeat
we’ve ripped out the pulsing heartbeat
the pulsing heartbeat
the pulsing heartbeat
the pulsing heartbeat

Moon Dust
05:51
|
|||
you can moon dust
matisse fellini hitchcock
you can draw what you see
but never erase the meaning in our dreams
it’s in the dark grooves
it’s in siberian khatru
it’s in the dna
art’s not going away
electric guitar
goo goo ga jub pulse cars
it’s the unword
art isn’t scared
kubric’s on the make
he’s hiding out in the metaverse
burgess is homeless
he’s living near the redgold river
it’s in the dark grooves
it’s in siberian khatru
it’s in the dna
art’s not going away
electric guitar
goo goo ga jub pulse car
it’s the unword
art isn’t scared
picasso is poker faced
breaking up vinyl toys
virginia woolf is in the grey rain
it’s saturday
it’s in the dna
art’s not going away
it’s in the dark grooves
it’s in siberian khatru
it’s in the dna
art’s not going away

Entangled Stories
09:05
|
|||
every single one of us
is the dynamite of new shapes
symmetries and shadow play
there are no structures there are no chains
double hunger doesn’t pay
but it’s in our blood to create
we are the wall of sound
entangled stories
entangled stories
singing out
every single one of us
is a revolution in flames
contact sheets from outer space
the mental make up that stains
we come from the faraway
the complex fault lines we create
we are the wall of sound
entangled stories
entangled stories
singing out
we are the wall of sound
entangled stories
entangled stories
singing out
every single one of us
is the future abstract in the clouds
synthesiser analogue
the secrets in your hidden dreams
brush strokes in your mother’s eyes
surreal horses running wild
we are the wall of sound
entangled stories
entangled stories
singing out
we are the wall of sound
entangled stories
entangled stories
singing out
we are the wall of sound
entangled stories
entangled stories
singing out
