Ghost

---Ghost---
I am the ghost in the garden
I’m not on the guestlist
I was born in the wrong border
And, boy, I’m paying for it
I am the bride in the branches
I’m wild in the grasses
I sleep step by step
To the sound of windows slamming
I am the kid at the picnic:
the pixels in your rockpool
That didn’t make it to print.
So, read my lips
I am the bull in the ballroom
You cannot ignore this
I will charge down every hallway,
Send all your chandeliers shattering
// Well, we got this wrong ten thousand times
We watched ten thousand flares
Fall fathoms down //

---Winter Hunter---
Between the sun and shadow, you wait
Bringing up the arrow to the eye
You’re a hunter hiding like a lion in the grass
You are winter waiting at the back
Between the deep and shallow, you stay
Circling the bodies and the bones
// You are my winter hunter //
Between the frost and fire, you stay
Lining up the crosshair with the heart
You are winter waiting with the shadows at the back
You’re a hunter hiding in the grass

Vandals

---Vandals---
We were born with rights to raid, to wreck and take
We are masters of our trade; the getaway
Pull down the moon - why wouldn’t you?
Cos they made it just for you
Go kick the stars - don’t stop at half
Be a vandal, make your mark
For the scandal, jape and lark
Be a vandal, make your mark
// Go get your fill, go guzzling, go get your fill!
We all want it all //
You were born a bullish brute, well lucky you!
Always smash before you grab and don’t look back
Go get your fill, go guzzling
Fill your pockets, fill your boots
Come crashing through
Pull down the moon – why wouldn’t you?
Be a vandal, make your mark
For the scandal, jape and lark
Be a vandal, make your mark

---Massa---
Well I got it wrong
I jumped the guns
I stepped out on something
It wasn’t strong enough
And I waited for the waves turning wilder than before
And I dreamt I was a child drifting blindly from the shore
// Will you stay with me while I fail completely? //
I got it all wrong you know
I faced the sun
And I told it plainly it hadn’t shone enough
And I waited for the flames burning fury from the core
I dreamt I was a child sleeping soundly through it all
// Will you stay with me while I fail completely?
While I fail… because I need you now //

A Muscle Marked

---A Muscle Marked---
// How you hold my heart
It’s a muscle marked //
How you hold my heart
A muscle marked, a moving part
How you test my tongue
You take me on
Take me apart
Bring me brightly back
A bag of nerves as hot as wire
How you hold my heart
A piston starts a signal fire only for you
// How you hold my heart
It’s a muscle marked //
How you sketch my skin
My limber limbs leaning in
How you make my mouth
Shout it out and breathe it in
Bring me brightly back
A cell of cells that spit and spark
How you hold my heart
A moving part, a muscle marked only for you
Now you’ve built my bones you can’t leave me alone
You hold my heart, spit and spark
Now you’ve built my brains it’s like ‘never again!’
You hold my heart, breathe it in
// How you hold my heart
It’s a muscle marked //

Bar Fight

---Bar Fight---
Cold on coastal skin
I’m out on a limb, here
Bold and soaking in
You’re covered in codes I can’t read
Come on come on come on
Run on and on and on
You know I told you I miss you twice
Come on come on come on
Run on and on an on
You said ‘I know, let’s not twist the knife’
// Tonight, let’s have a bar fight!
Split our lips and knuckles open wide
Let’s have a bar fight!
Bring me the best you’ve got
Hold nothing back inside //
Gold and racing green
Your sycamore eyes still shine
I’ll show you what I mean
Remember the curve of our spines
Come on come on come on
Run on and on and on
Just don’t look so serious, now
Come on come on come on
Run on and on and on and on
You’re making me nervous

Young Blood

---Young Blood---
Be good, young blood
Your father would
You say you’ll try, you dare not lie
Shore up, be strong
Your mother tongue makes a blur of words
You’d better learn
// Part of me waits //
They see like saints
It’s funny how they know
You’re no born bully
But they won’t let you go
So show them you’ll shoulder it, you’re up to it
If you say you’re sure
You’d better know
// Part of me waits //
You say you’ll try
You’d better win
You say you’re sure
You’d better know
Young blood, don’t let us down
Young blood, you won’t let us down
// Part of me waits //

---Twin Sinner---
Cold summer
At the end of every calm river we lie
Hot fever
While I know I’m just a cut flower in their eyes
Cold summer
At the end of every calm river where we lie
Don’t be long
You are my blood brother
You’re the muscle in my mind’s eye run riot
Don’t be long
You are the only one
Cold summer
At the end of every calm river we lie
Hot fever
While I know I’m just a cut flower in their eyes
Cold summer
At the end of every calm river where we lie
Don’t be long
You are my twin sinner, cold summer, hot fever, calm river
// In our ritual fixed in orbitual grip
And we won’t let this slip from our priestess’ lips //
You are my cold summer, twin sinner, hot fever, calm river

Go Golden

---Go Golden---
Be here, be there, be laid bare
A landline
A lifeline
To exactly where we came from
We use our mother tongue
To reach back down the umbilical cord
To call, fall, crawl into an empty belly
Separate, don’t obliterate
We belong to both
We belong to both here and there
Recollect
Reconnect
To exactly where our bodies began
Play our favourite song
Hear the beat bounce back from the street
Where we take our turn, learn, pay as we earn
Correlate, don’t eradicate
We belong to both
// We’ll run dry, we’ll run dry, we’ll run dry //
Be here, be there, be one
Separate, don’t obliterate
We belong
// We were born bolder than this or than this
Can we go golden to gather, to give? //
Be here, be there, be laid bare
Get told
Take hold
Of exactly where we lost track
We bring those echoes back
To throats that call over sea walls
For borderless orderless coordinates
Navigate, don’t dissipate
We belong to both
// We’ll run dry, we’ll run dry, we’ll run dry //
Be here, be there, beyond
Separate, don’t obliterate
We belong
// We were born bolder than this or than this
Can we go golden to gather, to give? //
