Howl

I was there at the birth of infinity
subatomic particles, dark matter couldn’t limit me,
blessed at the dawn of space, time and symmetry,
destined to be formed in the belly of divinity.
A symphony, of celestial mechanics
Asteroid moons pulling tides across granite
A gravity sparked fusion of interstellar parts
exploded in the hearts of long dead stars
I was there when mother earth was just a daughter
came up from the darkness the life force in the water
crawled out of the ocean in microscopic form
amongst the spiders and scorpions I was born and transformed
all the secrets held in the double helix
waiting in genetic mutations to reveal its
Most exquisite artistry on the horizon
all the beauty and complexity of consciousness arising
You think that I would run
You think that I would hide
It’s only just begun
and the now is alive in my Howl
I was there when the first heart was beating
ape women was walking, on the forest floors eating
plant forms from the cosmos, the magic in the spores
vertebrae un-arching, marching towards
ice ages, starving in the plains
sparking up fires, carving artworks in the caves
I came though like a spear, clear as the target is
fought wolves and hyenas over animal carcasses
harnessed the power of the shaman and the raven as she sings
yeh we saw the spirit in every thing
I was bound to domains, slaved for the privilege of kings
I prophesied that the poet carried freedom on her wings
You think that I would run
You think that I would hide
It’s only just begun
and the now is alive
I’m your burning sun
I’m your turning tide
its only just begun and the now is alive in my Howl
Howl
I keep it on my wings, love
as ancient as the stars above
and the now is alive
You think that I would run
You think that I would hide
It’s only just begun
and the now is alive
You think that I would run
You think that I would hide

It’s only just begun
and the now is alive
I cast spells in a sisterhood surviving slaughter
In the violent transition to the capitalist order
Subordination by class, wealth stolen from from the earth
I’m the seed of all the witches they burned
Recognised my body as a site of patriarchal control
Reclaimed my self, the one thing they can’t touch is my soul
The whole of history is where my story begins
a moment in time and the birth of all things

Mirrors

No playing nice
As you were
I can’t survive on duvet days and self care
Your frequency
it’s warfare
Devastated that we followed it to nowhere
Opened
three quarters
Maybe the chemicals muddied the waters
Still somebodies daughter
I’m the rose, I’m the rose, I’m the rose
And I don’t wanna heal, I’m sick of healing this
I’m an enclosed animal born into service of the capitalist pigs
No I don’t wanna feel, sick of feeling this
Oblivion is looking like a really good gig
These mirrors of you, they’re mirrors of me
Just want me to do, don’t want me to be
Shadow me,
opening doors
I can’t survive on therapeutic metaphors
self critic,
Picking flaws
Disassociating on the dance floor
Are these delusions
I created
Maybe this mortal life is overrated
Burnt out
My appointed angels
So it goes so it goes so it goes
And I don’t wanna heal sick of healing this
I’m an enclosed animal born into service of the capitalist pigs
No I don’t wanna feel sick of feeling this
Oblivion is looking like a really good gig
These mirrors of you, they’re mirrors of me
Just want me to do, don’t want me to be

These mirrors of you, they’re mirrors of me
Just want me to do, don’t want me to be
Give me some respect
Don’t treat me like a stranger you know the taste of my tears
Give me some respect
Or I’ll settle for the closure yeh its been a hard year
These mirrors of you, they’re mirrors of me
Just want me to do, don’t want me to be
I cannot see through, its too fucking deep
There’s puddles of blood, from the heart on my sleeve
These mirrors of you, they’re mirrors of me

Became

Open your curtains to the outside
Its such a freaky show
And we’re all living with our hands tied
Cos this is freedom don’t you know?
And we’re all witness to the violence
Cos its the only thing we know
And we’re complicit in our silence
As we watch this thing unfold
Became the seed
became the sky
became the bird
Became the wolf
became the bones
become the earth
And its for Land money power
And that’s the truest why
And every second minute hour
Will never satisfy
The black hearts of the war men
As they launder genocide
And the weak hearts of the law men
With power on their side
Became the seed
became the sky
became the bird
Became the wolf
became the bones
become the earth
Became the seed
became the sky
became the bird
Became the wolf
became the bones
become the earth

Shine on

Been a flower in bloom
Be a seed again soon
You know love be the food
Give me faith give me room
I will bloom again
Pain illuminates
I will shine on
I was made to shine on
I’m asleep in my enemy's dream
climbing monolithic pyramid schemes
singing life isn't quite as it seems
would this flesh pass the test if I pinched it and screamed?
I see a white dove caught on the wire
I see her branches on the funeral pyre
I stole the ashes from the mouth of the fire
built my bricks out of this and I carried them higher
on and on as the machine droned
as the masters of war traded blood for gold
prescribed beauty to restore my soul
so I cut diamonds from the stones and i swallowed them whole
washed them down with the dirt and the grime
I mined for days in symbols and signs
cried with the colonised child of my bloodline
about the tale of the earth and the last paradigm
Been a flower in bloom
Be a seed again soon
You know love be the food
Give me faith give me room
I will bloom again
Pain illuminates
I will shine on
I was made to shine on
I saw that trauma was a coin with two sides
that could open up portals in the subjects mind
and that the diamond was a jagged pill
that the thrill of the beauty was conjoined with the ills
I spilled tears for the cage that we built
and all the resignation all the visions it killed
but that’s the seed that oppression plants
when we believe these sycophants
I saw the strings of the devils dance
bout every man for his own advance
held the mirror and the shadow cast
I sent my dream to the prophets past
there with the cards, falling fast
13 hearts, on the mast
and the charts, unsurpassed
I fell hard and I asked
Been a flower in bloom
Be a seed again soon

You know love be the food
Give me faith, give me room
I will bloom again
Pain illuminates
I will shine on
I was made to shine on
And it starts to bleed, it starts to grow
It starts with me, it starts with no
To not turn cold, to not be owned
I will not fold, I was made to shine on
Steady as the workers, steady as the rain
Steady as the serving, steady as they came
Steady as the turning Earth, disturbed with the
Factories churning, dearth of enjoinment
Citizens yearning, dissidents stirring
Blurring the visions of the civilised vermin
Power subverted, struggles converging
Merged with the flame of a revolution burning
not feeling powerless
in the face of wickedness
Political cowardice,
taking care of business
When they should to empower us
Fronting for the villainous
let the rich devour us
And were so dangerous
They could be labour-less
So they're containing us
their culture’s flavourless
We’re the antithesis
We could be limitless
We could be growing on the vines in the vividness
Been a flower in bloom
Be a seed again soon
You know love be the food
Give me room
I will bloom again
Pain illuminates
I will shine on
I was made to shine on

Rise

Don’t let no other crush your spirit
There is no limit baby child
Now with your heart already in it
A new beginning to recognise
These storms will roll out with the tide
That’s when you find that you can rise
Come in from the sane world’s

Shining underside
Eat the hand that feeds you
Leave the rest behind
Setting in the amber
Splitting at the seams
Send it to the black box
Turn it into seeds
The vision comes from your desire
So feed your fire honey child
Now with your eyes already in it
A new beginning to recognise
This flame will burn until its fire
That’s when you'll find that you can rise
Come in from the sane world’s
Shining underside
Eat the hand that feeds you
Leave the rest behind
Setting in the amber
Splitting at the seams
Send it to the black box
Turn it into seeds

Washed in Blue

I thought it was me,
burning through the night,
souls caught a light,
and the fire was brighter than the whites of her eyes,
tighter, let you hold on tight.
I had to believe,
the truth in your stare,
not a wish not a care,
it was there, that I fell in the in rush of your tides,
when you pulled me in it felt so right.
With the moon keeping watch,
in the hands of gods,
we were lost in the moment the magic of the night.
You would, say forevers, washed in blue,
tender, as your lover coming home, home to you.
I’m hung up on how,
your love turned to stone,
the time spent alone,
did your heart fill a hole,
was it bigger than me?
and I’m left like a ghost at your door
We’re alive and it’s now,
the world could be ours,
Jupiter, Mars, and the stars and the cards that we didn’t play yet,
there’s a set with our names on I’m sure.
With the moon keeping watch,
all the hands of the clocks,
will be turning until the time is mine and yours.

You would, say forevers, washed in blue,
Tender, as your lover coming home, home to you.
Don’t you worry baby
There’s no limit to this heart of mine
I came through from the loops that we made from infinity signs
There’s no hurry baby
Fate will carry young hearts wild and true
lost in your shades of blue
With the moon keeping watch
All the hands of the clocks
Will be turning till
I come right home to you
You would, say forevers, washed in blue,
Tender, as your lover coming home, home to you.

Nothing Lasts

I don’t think I could cry anymore
My heart’s a cellar with an open door
my hand is lying with my pride on the floor
and you cant hold me like you did before
you were my 13 of hearts
loved you from the very start
showed our faces to the dark
baby is that every card?
sunbeams fell and flowers bloomed
in a moment, gone as soon
till we sing a different tune
darling mine was you
and now my bones are heavy
and the dream is passed
nothing lasts
nothing lasts
my bones are heavy
and the dream is passed
nothing lasts
nothing lasts

But curious hearts should fly away
And sunrise gifts another day
The shame came like a tidal wave
Winter passed and washed away
You were my 13 of hearts
love you though we’re paths apart
Every face both light and dark
Turned a corner every card
sunbeams fell and flowers bloomed
in a moment, gone as soon
till we sing a different tune
darling mine was you
and now my bones are heavy

But the pain will pass
nothing lasts
my bones are heavy
But the pain will pass
nothing lasts

Conjuring

If you held me love
in your opened arms
when the magic comes
would you drown in its sweet blue conjuring
let it pull you in?
took ourselves for a spin didn't we
If I carried love
all the symbols of
the book of us
where the cover’s the picture you took of us
the mountain’s hold
the moon above
would you tear it up or spit it out?
Did you forget me love?
Did you forget me love???
I was once
melted down
Body, breasts, lips, neck
cut out heart, memory, sex
thighs apart, eyes connect
the morning blush, the still we shush
I was once
melted down
spell was cast,
takes the crown
all the parts,
spinning round
dealer plays,
not a sound.
Body, breasts,
lips, neck
cut out heart,
memory, sex
thighs apart
eyes connect
the morning blush,
the still
we shush.
Whats the matter
Whats the matter now
held it in your mouth
have you had enough?
Filling up again

trace another tale
root formation love
get ready for the twist
take it as a gift its a lesson how
you’ll never be the same
not the filling of a pail
its a lightning bolt
starts a fire on
on your tongue
fills your lungs
and so what the girl has gone
you never needed anyone
kisses saved and bodies lied
lovers tongues with sweet goodbyes
so what the girl has gone
you never needed anyone
dust your shoulder
dignify
the constellations in your eyes
Would you be my peace
the ground under my feet
thats not coming now
Let the fall reveal
everything you need
is within you now
mirror the shame
swim through the frame
no resistance now
you’ll never be the same
not the filling of a pail
its a lightning bolt
starts a fire on
on your tongue
fills your lungs
on your tongue
fills your lungs

So what the girl has gone
you never needed anyone
kisses saved and bodies lied
lovers tongues with sweet goodbyes
so what the girl has gone
you never needed anyone
dust your shoulder
dignify
the constellations in your eyes
And the hurt, that you thought, meant that you were not loved, only meant that you loved, that you
loved

Ritual

You’re not the first to know regret

Just keep holding the stare
you ain’t seen nothing yet
You built a world on silhouettes
Queen of your shadow girl
I don’t know what you expect
You could turn it into ash
Minerals and glass
Thought it wouldn’t come
But now its coming fast
You came in on the clouds and ended on your ass
So ask..
Offer it and let it go, put it in a ritual
Send it to the night, burn it in the fire
It became habitual, I could never let it go
Burn it in the fire, send it to the night
Woah Woah
The night
Woah Woah Woah
Ooooh
A spell is something til it breaks
You into pieces of her holding a list of mistakes
Oh every path you didn’t take
Won’t be your saviour girl
I don’t know what you expect
You could turn it into dust
Memories they rust
Thought you couldn’t walk
But walk away you must
You came in on the clouds and ended in the crush
So just
Offer it and let it go, put it in a ritual
Send it to the night, burn it in the fire
It became habitual, I could never let you go
Burn it in the fire, send it to the night
Woah Woah
The night
Woah Woah Woah
Ooooh
Spell (burn it in the fire)
