eyeliner stains the carpet
when she thinks that no one's there
trust just pours out her
dripping on the the stairs
her time is spent in between the good
and all that remains
a picture of nothing
mounted to a frame
it's where i always find her
dripping on the stairs
eyeliner stains the carpet
when she thinks that no one's there
dropping in on piece of mind
forgotten feelings flow
passion resisting
the doubt that will not go
freeway keeps the distance
while space creates in time
pauses for an instant
motion to the mime
living on an orchid
that's dying in the sea
of prismatic water
from your fantasy
and the wind blows us softly
through the waves we can see
land approaching
and the wind's pushed from their wings
through the clouds, mountain tops they
they are swarming
the thin
strips of tin
on the dragonflies in
their wing frames are rusted again
and the method they'll use
from the plan that they fused
god help us, is about to begin
and hope came down, crashing into the sea
along with our holymen, children, and thieves
no prayers were made or flowers laid
because there was no scene
the horror was magnified by our disbelief
the evidence is past
to the deity left last
your body
is the ship and your soul's the mast
if all is one
then all is two
you fall off the boat and i'm floating with you
and baby
can't wait to swim way
if all's what it seems
when you fall in your dreams
like they say
we wouldn't get to the day
The Trephine Demos were recorded through most of the first half of 2002 by myself and Pete Mundt as an attempt to record something "seriously this time".
Never having a proper release, it's being made available here on Bandcamp as a free high quality download.
