Anomalies of space
Born into it.
This is where we are.
This is how it is.
There’s smoke-stacks for brains
With coal-powered hearts
Motor oil in veins
Tearing our world apart.
They will beat us
They will beat us
They will be destroyed by their own design.
I am all little kids
Struggling for life
Through abysmal dark
Through the blinding light
Close your fucking mind,
I will always hear.
I never get it right,
I never get it clear.
You will beat us,
You will beat us.
You will be destroyed by your own design
/
Black Cloud,
Daily traveling,
Through the East Van sky.
Consciously you’re flyin’,
Your design
Is disrupting up my mind

When there’s robots in your brain
They’ll be cawing and cooing,
And shape the ground beneath our feet.
I expect us all to meet
Believe yourself away
Kids, are we really dying here,
With infinity so near?
The Pacific Ocean is,
In boundless expanses.
Believe it all away
(But, I’m alive)

And I'm Not Alone
04:51
|

|
I want to evaporate up
And channel lighting, channel thunder
And I’m not alone; I hope I’m not alone
I want to fall into a fault
And feel the Earth tremble around me,
And I’m not alone; I hope I’m not alone.
I want to surge inside the surf
That floods the cities, moves the mountains
And I’m not alone; I hope I’m not alone.
I want to sail to the stars
On solar flares and splitting atoms
And I’m not alone; I hope I’m not alone
…but I’m alive
And I’m not alone; I hope I’m not alone.

The mind
Is an open door
The forest floor
Ever-changing, mysterious force
From a vortex in the sky
The light
Is expanding forth
From a single point
To the boundary of it all
To the boundary of it all
You’ve got me thinking we will survive,
Yeah, you’ve got me thinking that we won’t die,
I can’t stop this believing,
But I’m living a lie.
You’ve got me thinking “Oh my God”
Yeah, I’m always saying “Oh my God”
But my God’s within it all,
And it’s the shiningest light alive.
Let the light,
Penetrate your pours
Atomic cores
‘til we don’t hurt anymore
‘til we don’t hurt anymore
The mind
Is expanding forth
From a single point
To the boundary of it all
To the boundary of it all
You’ve got me thinking we will survive,
Yeah, you’ve got me thinking that we won’t die,
I can’t stop this believing,
But I’m living a lie.
You’ve got me thinking “Oh my God”
Yeah, I’m always saying “Oh my God”
But my God’s within it all,
And it’s the shiningest light alive.
We’re all art under satellites
Yeah, we’re all art under satellites,
Ain’t it a tragedy?

Guidance

I need some guidance,
For my love
It used to have promise, but…
I know, it’ll never escape.
Aren’t we the biggest mistake?
I know me; you should be running away.
I’m only an arrogant ape.
…And I need some guidance,
for my love.
It used to have promise, but…

Circle
04:53
|

|
Black clouds pour petrol through their pupils,
And it darkens up the snow
Nuclear winter hangover
Just where’d the photons go?
Hold on, you can’t save no one,
The light, the light, the light, the light.
There’s seagull neurons firing rhythms in my mind
And they sync in with the sky.
Our fractal scar in non-existence
Will heal up when we die.
Hold on, you can’t save no one,
The light, the light, the light, the light.
Hold on…why can I never
Hold on?

Nothingness recommends:
I'm a little biased, but I think this is a fantastic album. Caton had Colby Sparks and me play on a few of these songs, but for the most part, it's all him. Great record, can't wait for the follow up!

Some good it will come
by paul stewart
I don't know Paul that well, but I'm struck by his music. He manages to pull something really gripping out of some familiar tools, and the result is pretty flooring.

Ora's one of the best. I think her music just speaks for itself. She can take a traditional song and so thoroughly own it so much you'd swear she wrote it and her originals are easily just as strong.
