I Love You, Animal
04:44

I hope you find love
and stare into it's face long and hard
to feel it break you down
the rawness of it's power pulling you apart
I hope you find love
and I hope you lose it once
to understand the power
you hold to be the giver and the bearer of
This feeling that you keep inside
bursting out and terrified
wounded and so fury-eyed
innocent and scrutinized
but we step outside into the light
we're naked and we're frightened by
the world that we're surround by
their names we give it to define
this curiosity that's buried
deep within the words we write
to pin down the ephemeral, the inexpressible
so I just say I love you, animal

Neon Fires

Airline flights that line the skys
thunder with the weight of gravity
neon fires that burn your eyes
pulsing light in rhythm speaking coded texts
Time will take, time will take it all
Time will take, time will take it all
even as I ask it why
Time will take, time will take it all
Eroding tides and sulfur smiles
divide the well trained humans from the pets
hallowed spires and rotting mines
the butcher keeps the bones and licks the fat
Time will take, time will take it all
Time will take, time will take it all
even as I ask it why
Time will take, time will take it all

The Mirror Blinks Twice
04:48
|

As you look into the eyes searching behind the mirror
remember that you're stuck with them
maybe it's best to just think something nice
or not think anything at all
you are who you are
you are who you are
The incentivizing contradiction is that you are better now
when better is no place and time forever bound
to the predatorial ways of it's opportunism
I am the history of acts propagating an evolutionary genocide collectively called now
you are who you are
you are who you are
Movement is the state that the body is in
and fate is a pathway to the ground
The mirror blinks twice in agreement
and I go back to living somehow
you are who you are
you are who you are
you are who you are
you are who you are

I lie awake in the ocean
I lie awake in the ocean
remember
to remember you
remember
to remember you
I lie awake in the ocean
I lie awake in the ocean
remember
to remember you
remember
to remember you

Valley of the Dolls
08:45

I walk past car fires
that line the streets and our faces
golden in the setting light
riches in the darkest of places
in the valley of the dolls
in the valley of the dolls
Starlight forms a pattern
for spot lit street lights to recede
into their ritualistic voyeurism
watching takes place for seeing
for streets kept clean for the passage
of the economic drum like a cannon
shouting with the beat of persistence
empty but the echo of it's once presence
in the valley of the dolls
in the valley of the dolls
in the valley of the dolls
in the valley of the dolls
But life thrives at the cracks
on the outskirts of fallout
caught up with the gutter trash
where insect prey not the moral fabric
cut from the clean and sadistic
haute couture dressings that distinguish
privilege on sale for the masses
in the valley of the dolls
in the valley of the dolls
in the valley of the dolls
in the valley of the dolls
War is peace and peace is time for action
take flight with their wings sewn of passion
seething in displays of their omissions
but they cause
and they pray
and they bend with the light
preaching like the ammo from a cannon
silent and swiftly cut the ledger
laughing at the belly's distention
in the valley of the dolls
in the valley of the dolls

I taste the summer baked into your coffee cake
warm as the bed I wake in early mornings
and wait for your eyes to play hide and seek to run away
from facing the galaxy embracing all that you are
all that you are
I felt the sun, it kicked up with the wind
that brushed you face
escaping your lips said
the trick is we're all made of stardust and memory
her words worth repeating
the trick is remembering
who you were
who you were
Laughing like crazy
it's so irresponsible
listening to music and dancing to radios playing
our hearts loud with screaming
and everything spinning
the galaxy whispering
you are
you are
you are
you are

LAMINATE PET ANIMAL
by SNOWMINE
This is the first in a series of weekly album reviews published by Andrew Dubber. If you haven’t already caught it, please check out his introductory post. There’s been talk of an 80s revival of one sort or another since long before the 80s even came to an end. Some long for the angular rhythms … Continue reading Album of the Week: Laminate Pet Animal →
