Downward Is Heavenward


Isle of the Cheetah

Chance brought me down on your side
She's just along for the ride
Wings melt and we hide
And all this means nothing to the sun
Are we leaving this one?

Mine comes true here
Bruised, expanding clear
Mind full of you here
I won't claim losses in the sun
Are we leaving this one?

And swift out, she goes to the last frame
Short lives and long days and if I stay
Then we'll lay way to you

Your ocean spreads out on sunbeams
Radiant, knowing
And your hand looks so nice in mine
And it's been a thousand new scenes since inception
And you're radiant, glowing
And they say that you're doing fine

Your ocean spreads out on sunbeams
Radiant, knowing
Your hand looks so nice in mine
And the new construct will have both of us
Stapled to the island for awhile
And they say that we're doing fine


Comin' Home

We're two points collapsing
Supercharged from the storm
Sun-drenched in our faces, too deformed

Bliss with intent to see us peeling locust skins from the locust tree
Hang on to these places she says to me

Clearly in this afternoon
Clearly we will have to turn and come home soon

She fell into me a point collapsing
With her lovely face in the snow
The mission could be corrupted, and we wouldn't know
(And we wouldn't know)

My baby reaches for the sound
I've got my feet against the ground
My baby reaches for the sound
I'll take you anywhere you know

Loving me more as you see us
Peeling locust skins from the locust trees
Hang on to the faces she screams to me
Too clearly in this afternoon
Clearly we will have to turn and come home soon

Clearly in this afternoon
And clearly we will have to turn and come home soon


If You Are to Bloom

I'm thinking of your wide open eyes
Smiling as they feed the nerves
That push the field of silver and the colorful lines
That only you could see, like only you could do

I'm picturing a forcep in ice
That you would see if you could reach
And reconnect the ends into the delicate threads
But I just sit
And wait for a blip to break the perfect little thin green line

I dreamt of jet this high
Seeding clouds from the other side and rolling softly until the underbelly shines
And the back skims through the steam
Feeding upturned mouths and sprinkling awake
Like a dusty sleep you took too soon
And you, you need watering if you are to bloom

I'm thinking of your failing green eyes
Smiling as they greet the day
But they can't see me

And now I'm picturing us opening wide
And drinking down our days in haze and bliss
Together till it tumbles aside
But I just sit
And wait for a rhythm in a perfect little thin green line
It's true, so soon

(And the coil speaks) I'd like to see us together
I'd like to lay my head low
I need to lean on a soft one
And bring the spin of the world to appear slow

(And the coil sleeps) You've been gathering angels
And fading further each day
I love you now as I never
Remember my face as you quietly make your way

I dreamt of jet this high
Seeding clouds from the other side and rolling softly til the underbelly shines
And the back skims through the steam
Feeding upturned mouths and sprinkling awake
Like a dusty sleep you took too soon
And you, you need watering if you are to bloom


Ms. Lazarus

I come to you all dressed in sound
With bluebirds stripping wires to the ground
Connected to a time machine that will not power down

Set the crosshairs back on one
You said we'd only die here in a sun
The way your headstone shines
I only wish that it was mine

So set the crosshairs back on one
I nail the loop that brings the second run
Past the wished on charms
And through the lens back to your living arms

This time machine won't power down
And this time machine won't power down

And still the crosshairs rest on one
And still you rest there in the morning sun
Still I fumble through the pages of constructions on the ride

I like the blown out sound we've found
I like the way it feels here coming down
The way your headstone shines
I only wish that it was mine


Afternoon with the Axolotls

She hits the plate with both hands high
Downward is heavenward, and we are not alone
Condensers on and a drop is found
A fingertip trace says to me I can see you
And you are wet

A bed of dead leaves grace the ground
A quick glance to the other side and we will not be found
Symbionts in haste command come close
Screams to me I can see you above the rest

And through it all she seems secure
Downward is heavenward, and we are not alone
Head thrown back, a sickened sigh, her eyes shut
Beelzebub, can we do this without a net?


Green to Me

The morning image from the satellites is all blue and green
And we've all got wounds to clean
Here's a rag, here's some gasoline

She wakes up fine and rested well
Released at last from in the sleeping cell
Breathing comes with ease
It's a sweet revenge
Built on a chemical ride
My medicine man is the best wires to the temples
Lace them on, let's see how we sound

It's all green to me
What a sweet revenge
It's all green to me

See them lift off one by one
I see a cool spot here, let's bring her down
Level to the ground
A lovely mess that I am blessed to see
Of me, of me

She lifts her wings up high
Sensors show a lifetime until we die
And all the dreams' details perfected in the colored sky

The morning image from the satellites is all blue and green
And we've all got wounds to clean
Here's a rag, here's some gasoline

It's all green to me
(Lift up your skies and all the other times, you realize)
It's all green to me
(It lifts up your days in a single phase, I felt your hand)
It's all green to me
(Lift up your skies and all the other times, you realize)
It's all green to me
(It lifts up your days in a single phase)


Dreamboat

You swore the earth was round
And you said that there was no upside down
I hit the starship's left
Let the parallax flip like you showed me in the lighthouse
I did the math and it came up ones and O's

I know a girl who makes me shine
My dreamboat's leaving on a submarine
She packed a second set of tanks
And all I ever want and need
I know a girl who makes me whine
While my dreamboat scatters all the sub-machines
She packed a second set of tanks
And all I ever want and need

And you swore the earth was sound
And you said that we could go upside the ground
But the starfish sends in a message
In a code that you can't see from the lighthouse
And we will dive in the afternoon

I took a simple time to wander
Engaging twilight through the trees
And she needs help among the kelp-ways
And I'm not tied to these
No, I'm not tied to these

I know a girl who makes me shine
My dreamboat's leaving on a submarine
She packed a second set of tanks
And a solar powered lung for me
And to the girl who makes me whine
While my dreamboat scatters all the sub-machines
She packed a second set of tanks
And all I ever want or need
For me, for me, for me

The Inuit Promise

I took a worn out strand of your cellophane hair
And stretched it sideways
And oh my, my
Slip though between the seam with me
My brain stopped working from the cold
I sort of strayed from what we know

So I'll be like you and do what's right
And win a love I don't deserve out on the ice tonight
Teach me the bluest song you know
The moon ain't comin' up
And I swear to God tonight it feels like snow

I'm glad we got your hands warm
So my arms can feel like trust again
I can promise true waves when the summer comes
The world still fits the same form we engraved when it all began
Maybe catch a new wave
Feels right, feels right

So we ride whales and drag race time
And knock the fires from the traces of trilobite hives
You sleep like God inside her womb
And you see clearly to the silicon wasteland they left inside my mind

I'm glad we got your hands warm
So my arms can feel like trust again
I can promise true waves when the summer comes
The world still fits the same form we engraved when it all began
Maybe catch a new wave

We've lost the road now
Injecting charms and we care for all of ours

We stand in rows now
Transfer alarms just like the Inuit with the promise song
To come down and see
To come down and see
To come down and see
To come down and see

(Your solvents frozen here on the petal rung is all we have to see, enlarged inside as we espy the warming sea)
(Your breath diffused and never realized, aside from where the panicked hide, and I, just a subtle lift provider on the other side)


Apollo

I'm thinking of a number between everything and two
I'm thinking of a number between everything and two

She said you can find a space between my arms
If you will stay
Like if we ignore the systems
They'll just blink out and quickly go away

She said I'll keep all the signals that you send home to me
And I'll meet you back here on the ground
It's lift off, lift off again
She's pissed off, pissed off again

Moonlight brings me back again to stay
And I know if she had a way I'd always be through
Tethered to a glass ring she keeps beside the phone
And never ever stepping out into

Blankness and darkness, like underneath the leaf
Have settled on me here and scraped away the sound

She said you can find a place inside my heart
If you will stay
And I need you back here on the ground
It's lift off, lift off again
She's pissed off, pissed off again

Moonlight brings me back again to stay
And I know if she had a way I'd always be through
Tethered to a glass ring she keeps beside the phone
And never ever stepping out into

I'm thinking of a number between everything and two

And moonlight brings me back again to stay
And I know if she had a way I'd always be through
Tethered to a glass ring she keeps beside the phone
And never ever stepping out into

And moonlight brings me back again this day
And I don't feel a thing here anymore
The strings of information slowing to a stop
The tether's end is slipping from its knot
I'm stretching out in two

I'm thinking of a number between everything and two
I'm thinking of a number between everything and two
And it's molecules of you


The Scientists

Electrified and lit up by an outline of herself
And smiling now as only she can be
She said I made some new connections to astound them all
In ways we've never dreamed about
Her lovely hand is glowing from a light inside itself
From soaking in the esters stacked for miles on a single shelf
Holding my eyes still
So she can see all the super-undercover custom hybrids got to me

It's too much, here too late
I want to see it all again
She says keep this benzene ring around your finger
And think of me when everything you wanted starts to end

And I saw living lusters form in pools beneath her feet
Invertebrates that only she can see
And I said, what on Earth are all these ampoules for?
She says exactly, we're not gonna wait around here anymore

Systems back down slow, watch the dust cloud we send
And I will keep you
I will keep you to the end
Set your head back low, watch my ears ring
I will take care of you
I will take care of everything

Systems back down slow, watch the dust cloud we send
And I will keep you
I will keep you to the end
Set your head back low, watch my ears ring
I will take care of you
I will take care of everything

It's too much, here too late, too much, here too late
Piloting my head spins to the ground
And I think I see myself again through the pinhole
But the pinhole captures all of you
And the pinhole captures all of you
And the pinhole captures all of you
And the pinhole captures all of you
And the pinhole captures all of you
Too much, here too late
Too much, here too late
Too much, here too late
Too much, here too late
