Was it something that I said?
Tell me, what did you expect?
Perhaps you’d like to reassess how you define disrespect
And if you keep that in mind
I can talk you through the night
Pull up a seat and let me offer you a light
Look at the damage you’ve done
I wonder if it’s enough
Over time I’ve learned to live with the disgrace
Perhaps it would be more than you could take
As one thing seems to be resolved, another takes its place
And though I’m not inclined to tell you what to do
I get a sense you’d like to know the truth
Well in that case I might be just care to share my point of view
Look at the damage you’ve done
I wonder if it’s enough
To show the trick is cheap
And offers no relief
Look at the damage you’ve done
I wonder if it’s enough
But let’s not pretend there’s some hidden treasure
It’s just desperate times call for desperate pleasures
Look at the damage you’ve done
I wonder if it’s enough
To show the trick is cheap
And offers no relief
And you can start a war
But will it bear the grief
Of never speaking truth
But always being believed

Conflagration Names

Coming down
In the shadows
I speak your name
And wait for you to come possess me again
Tendons flex in the light of the flame
And doors open up into a chequered past
If your perspective will allow the questions asked
As muscles pulse
As bodies dance
And what is felt
And what is seen
Tell me what you’re desiring
You know you want it
It’s all you need
Now repeat it back to me
My spine is loose
But full of fire
I call out your name and wait for a reply
To break across the static of my mind
Is it my body
Is it a curse
The thoughts move through my brain and down into the earth
And I feel the heat come off your words
What is it you wanted
And what is your need
Tell me what you’re desiring
I need to feel this
I need to see
Break the locks inside of me
Create a hell to set me free
Come down ignite the darkness
In a conflagration of the names
Tell me how the pieces move here
Tell me how to beat the game
Now I want the vision I can feel
Now I want you to give me the voice
Distort the channels and fuck the transmission
Corrupt the power and bring us all the joy

There’s a memory
of a wound
that keeps me restless
and aware
of its presence
as I move
into positions
to keep you from the harm
that infects
all the acts that I perform
And my love
I think of it every day
There’s a lesson
to be learned
from the sorrow
but it weighs
so heavy on my heart
Can I carry
the momentum that is needed
or will I falter
and open up the scars
Please remember these few words if I fall apart
I think of you every day
My love
I think of you every day
My love
Tell me there's another way
My love
I think of it every day

Is that what you wanted
Is that what you needed to be
Check the charts and interpret
And get back to me
Is there an illusion
You could choose to believe
Without defences
Or self deceit
You said
Go find it
Is there a process
To manifest belief
Come cut the cards now
And accept how they read
Watch the candle
Burn away the seed
Of its existence
For someone else’s need
You said
Go find it
You said
Go understand
This
Unburden all the lies that
Corrupt your prophesying
And come unbound from your stars
Desire to understand that
The wheel is in your hand and
Come unbound from your stars
You said
Go find it
Go find it
You said
Go find it
Go find it

Mirror, metal, match.
Mirror, metal, match.
Fire fell and I caught it here.
Fire fell and I made it here.
Fire fell and I kept it here.
Mirror, metal, match.
Mirror, metal, match.
Mine is the power,
Mine is the kingdom,
Mine is the glory.
Amen

Bring violence
To your limbs
Hex induction
Born of sin
We form currents
Out of our will
Come phosphorescent
Divine revealed
Scarlet candles
Devouring flames
Scatter the ashes
And rise again
Flaunt your open wounds
And praise what you’ve become
My incandescent daughters
My incandescent sons
My desire is strong
But my heart is broken
Bright my vision burns
With every word unspoken
Let these limbs outstretch
Let my fists come open
All the lights proclaiming
My love is awoken
Mirror, metal, match.
Mirror, metal, match.
Mirror, metal, match.
Mirror, metal, match.

Revelations

Last call for illumination
Last call for the present tense
Burned bridges and imagination
Won’t save you from the edge
And don’t give me your excuses
That you should’ve known better
Should’ve know better than this
Wax mounds scrying no good omens
From candles burnt at both their ends
With their wicks all turned to ashes
There’s no way to make amends
And all the signals turned to static
Because I should’ve known better
I should’ve known better than this
Tear down the ground from you
And bring waves to calmest blue
Watch all the skies fade to grey
And let it burn all away
And now you've nothing
Nothing left
Tear down the ground from you
And bring waves to the calmest blue
Watch all the skies fade into grey
And let it burn
Let it burn all away

Lovers
Come down to me
Open up to me
Let me in
Listen now
It’s in your hands again
It's time to go my friends
Let's not be late
Fallen from the skies
The lighting asks for its reply
Come forth you daughters of the night
And multiply
So
Of wonder
This light will reveal
Come open
Break apart the seals
Your caged heart yearns for its freedom
And we will not kneel
Beneath shattered dreams
Corrupting in language
Dress your flesh in light
And let your sovereign colours shine
Your right to own what is divine
Won’t be denied
All that’s good and evil : it's yours
Pull apart the stars
And let the light spill from your scars
The desperate break down all the doors
That segregate this life’s rewards
And all you lovers
Come down to me
Open up to me
Lovers
Come down to me
Open up
Open up
UP
Of wonder
Let this light reveal
Come open
Break apart the seals
Your caged hearts yearn for their freedom
So let them feel
All of the light is claimed back from above
Come now destroy all your limits with love

Ashes

Setting apart
All that was left
We turned our faces away
And began to walk
Along that road
As the light began to fade
And all that I was
And all you will be
We let the fire take
To try and forget
All that we could
Without repeating mistakes
And in the ashes
I can see the truth
But pretend I was perfect
Pretend I was good
