Lyrics / Arrangements:
Moss Green
MAGAZ (featuring
Andromeda Winds)
2 in the morning hotel / heavy chains on my eyes / choking on a sulfur
smell / like in this room, somebody died / two shapes float over my
feet without a sound / lucky I didn’t shut my eyes / I might
have never known / spinning my arms and chest together they crawl
inside my throat / breeding a million parasites that feed on my fading
sense of hope / I’m too scared to leave them behind but its
all in my mind / if they stay with me, I know I will never last til
dawn / been through all this trouble to stay alive / and now I see
I may be eaten alive / absence of confidence begs me ‘what are
we here to do? what can we give?’ / in two days, I’m leaving
this place without a sign / if they stay with me, I know I will never
last til dawn / been through all this trouble to stay alive / and
now I see I may be eaten alive.

TELEVOLVE (featuring
Jen Wood and Gymi Slezinger)
turn up the Jurassic coal / remove all the liquid soil / batter cracks
and tongues / cycles spent / this is the mouth that 85% of the nails
drive though / televolve to the world we once knew / a tourniquet
idol became our pitiful hero again / straight as an ace you hid /
the sedation makes you sick / crawl us down the pipeline til we burst
/ a kick in the mouth / a backstab magic trick of the traded in /
plastic bagging dreams made in japan / a tourniquet idol became our
pitiful hero again / wide as a mouth of absolutes / that’s playing
catch me if you can / I hope I learn / I hope I have a chance / a
tourniquet idol became / tourniquet idol became / a radical ideal,
defense / our pitiful hero again.

FOIR
this is the point where life returns / into the earth returns the
metal / the vertebrae compress the leaves / and grow new eyes that
breathe life / incredible as equal eyes / incredible the crush of
heaven / inverterbrae compress the leaves / leaves out eyes so I can
see for miles and miles / is it a burning star / is it a field of
asteroids / is it a filmy foir / is it a jet compulsion?
