Bone Awl - Lunar Locks

Standing up and Wading in
Another ritual begins
And another ends
None of us are friends

Man rises from
The water
With all his fins out

Breathe, need air
Grow teeth and hair
Nighttime rise
Starry eyes again

Open it
Let the tide in
The animals swim

Again
And again
The tide comes in

Again and again
Again and again
Sing out and along
Their amphibian songs

Even their brothers
Step on each other
Over and again Открыть страницу с текстом

Put on the fur skin
Alone for days on end
The inner thoughts of animals
Passing between them

Anything is possible
Anything is possible
If no one is there
To stop it from happening

Put on the fur skin
The spirit passes in
Become something else
The doors are held open

Anything is welcome
Anything is welcome
If we welcome them
And hold the doors open

The stones came together, on their own
Doorways to a house, that isn't there
The master sleeps in his giant chair
Once a year, only then, let him in

Brand it into skin
Our tiny tributes
Scratched into stone

The moon rises again
Filling like a basin
The circle finishes itself
Placed on the shelf

Anything is possible
If the time is right
Anything is possible
On the proper night Открыть страницу с текстом

Be absolutely still
While the sun is down
Ignore the wind
Living in the hills

Stones are your brothers
Covered in tall grass
Life is endless
Wait for nothing to pass

Predator stare
Nerves ignite the air
Live on this level
Of electrical devils

Different faces
Of nature begin to emerge
wonderful beings
Emerge into the clearing

How fear is digested
When there is no
Such thing as time though
Things move quickly

Wildnerness might seem slow
But you just don't know
What the animals dream
While they're resting

Take aim
Keep the head high
Hold your breath
Bow and arrow
Hold tight the grip
Not even a thought
Allowed to slip

Bow and arrow
Bone and marrow
The trophies we hold
Above our heads
The realm of hunting

Step from the shadows
Introduce yourself
To death Открыть страницу с текстом

Blood thirsty mobs
Wander around
The streets,
Chaos underneath

Chaos running
Underground
Gunning
White blood vessels

Unexposed belief
Not even aware
Growing wild underneath
Never touch the air

Chaos running
Underground
Gunning
White blood vessels

On the inside
Inner foundries
Meet magma
Without boundaries

Chaos running
Underground
Gunning
White blood vessels

Bloody clenched
Fist of dirt
Mineral fire
Boil the earth

Hell for those beasts
Who can stand the heat
Hard for stones to let blood
Molten ochre left alone

Blood thirsty mobs

Someone
Watches
Over
You

You

Whether you like it
Or not
Whether you see it
Or not

Has
The same
Eyes
As you

One day
You will need help
Hanging by a finger
Holding on to yourself

One day you will fail
They will carry you away
Whether you like it or not
They will lay you down

Bring you
Back to life
Like brothers
Who need you alive

They need you alive Открыть страницу с текстом

Do you know
How far you can go?
Have you tested
So cold / so desperate?

Numb
I no longer feel
Numb
No longer
a man
Do you know
What lies out in the snow
The faces and dreams
All forbidden things

Numb
My life in their hands
Numb
Nothing left alive

Have you asked the voices
Do you still need me alive?
Run into the ice today?
Hear what the voices say

Numb
My life in their hands
Numb
No longer a man

Do you know
Which way to go?
Everything looks the same
Every way is white as snow

Everything slows
Even the heart knows
You are lost
With everywhere to go

Imagine you are running
Across the backs of men
Frozen into the ice
They are holding you up

This is your family
The ground on which you walk
The voices cry out
Your frozen lips can't talk

Not a tear to be shed
Lives frozen to death
Awaken in the fire light
Reborn into a brand new life
Imagine you are running
Across the backs of men
Frozen into the ice
They are holding you up Открыть страницу с текстом

Blasted
Unhindered
By physics

Racing
In all
Directions at once

Best way
To live
Oblivious

Frenzied
Dogs eyes
Open up wide

The worst way to live
Within an awareness
Paralyzed in the present
Unable to act

He doesn't
Budge
The possum lies

Still
All of the weight
Of existence

Within
The traps
Of time

Come on
Crushing
Light is rushing

But time stops
Neurons pulled into the past
All things flattening
And smashed

Do your best
Pull yourself up
Into a moment
Where you can move
How many dimensions
Trap the dream?
As flat as a thought
It might seem

Do you want to see
How I treat time
Peer inside
My whirring mind

How does it like that?
To be run aground
In thought
Smashed on the rocks Открыть страницу с текстом

The wand is held up And encircled by the moon The shadows are filling In the silhouette The sequence of movement Is locked in light The animals are conjured The moon gains intensity The astral animal Are formed by connecting The stars even though Light years separate them The sky is opening Tectonic plate Like voices erupt Planets converse Comets cross the sky These things are not lies Symbolic otherwise Holding too much truth From this vantage The wand runs between them Making the connections The lines are traced in the air

A little of each god
In the fingers
Five different gods,
Five different shapes

Between them
A pattern of lines develop
On your palm
Warring each other

With all of them together
Within our hands
We find new ways
To do their work

Thumb god
Pointer god
Index
Pink god

Middle god Открыть страницу с текстом

Spoiled before
You're on the floor
Tongue taste
His bloody face
Teeth
Eradicate meat
Blasting
History

Man
Was all mouth
Couldn't help
But breath it out

Rancid air
Blood born
It makes a man
Out of you
But you're all
Animal
A crawling
Good time to boot

Sound
The bloodhound
Who can smell it
Miles out

Not looking
For anything else
Simply waiting
For hell

It finds you
No matter where you run
All around you
Waiting for you to stop Открыть страницу с текстом

Onto the eyes below
Cast your shadow
Into the open ears
Blowing fear

Crawl toward the edge of sleep
The stars are falling
The voices are beckoning

Stand on your feet
There is no need to be crawling

The eyes are opening
Sky voices sing
Visions overwhelming
Sky voices sing

Helped to your feet,
Sat down by the priests,
Who place the crown
Upon your head

Stand up and look around
There is no need
Get off the ground

Old suns line the sky
Burning on high
Something more
Intense than night
The stars are
Uncomfortably bright

Forming the oldest
Two dimensional language
Something truly "universal"
Spoken across galaxies
White suns line the sky
Glow by fire
Stand on your feet
There is no need to be crawling
Stand up and look around
There is no need
Get off the ground Открыть страницу с текстом

An image of the idol, torn apart
And poorly pieced back together
Lopsided eyes crossing
Between his face

Looking forever inward
Power drains from the image
As the lower forms swarm in Открыть страницу с текстом

How deeply part of me
Wants to leave
And get on with my life

In my life

How deeply part of me
Wants to dive
Into the source of my life

In my life

Drowning in the pool,
Without a choice
To be made without an opposite

In my life Открыть страницу с текстом
