Mycelium

Mycelium. Mycelium. Mycelium. Mycelium…
I ain’t a bald primate
That tongue does not relate
Man is done
The ape is dead
Lungs of the planet on a golden thread
I ain’t debating
I’m a mushroom, ok
I spread like lava
Rise like bread
Currency of decay
Amongst my kin, I extend acidic salutations
Exhale the dust of seasons
Inhale the breath of civilisations
I grip with devils fingers and stroke the green curtain
We, the thoughtful element
Dumb rock
Unthinking ocean
Network of the wood
Tannin of the evening
Synapse of the bush
I disappear amongst my kin
Mycelium. Mycelium. Mycelium. Mycelium…
Mycelium. Mycelium. Mycelium. Mycelium…
I ain’t a bald primate
That tongue does not relate in any way
Man is done
The ape is dead
Lungs of the planet on a golden thread
I ain’t debating now
I’m a mushroom, ok
I spread like lava
Rise like bread
Paralysed agaric fungus
Fed back into the, the bourgeoisie
What the hell is happening to me?
Mycelium. Mycelium. Mycelium. Mycelium…
Paralysed agaric fungus
Toadstool dome grown humongous
Stomach knots and purple skin
Mirrored faces doubling
Bursting beams of hopping rabbits
Organs bleed with sucking maggots
Metallic teeth
Ancient Goblet
Increase the dosage with a droplet
Blackened gold beneath the surface
Dark horse undermining and amorphous
Fed back into the bourgeoisie
What the hell is happening to me?
Spore filled breath
I’ll spread myself over the forest floor and infest the elk
Feasting on decay and sprouting anew
I’ll make my biome part of mycelium
Mycelium. Mycelium. Mycelium. Mycelium…

Ice V
10:15
|
|||
Ice V. Ice V. Ice V…
Ganymede princess with the tongue of death
She smells what the wind says with the lava forked pincers
Ganymede princess with a lungless chest
With her tongues forked pincers she smells what the people says
Ice V. Ice V. Ice V…
Monoclinic
Crystalline
Spears of death shoot down the line
Autocratic and quantised
Land mine meteorite
Lost in transit
Obliteration
Disconnected correlations
Lucky 7
Ace of spades
Double down
Checkmate
Ice V. Ice V. Ice V…
Ain’t getting out of here alive
Ice V has arrived
Pimple puss
Crop circle pit
Oozing out of crevices
Sentient toadstool throne
Crooked sceptre
Alien bone
Frosted pistol
Loaded spite
Shooting rays of frozen light
Feel the doom of flashing flood
Crimson clouds are raining blood
Will we survive Ice V?
Ice V. Ice V. Ice V…
Queen of ice
Suffice to say
Engulfing all in crystal dismay
Freezing whims as the sun dims
The pressure tearing limb from limb
Earth born cities stripped away as the ice queen hypnotically sways
Queen of ice
Suffice to say
Engulfing all in crystal dismay
Ice V. Ice V. Ice V…
Ain’t getting out of here alive
Ice V has arrived

Magma

Magma
Fire bagwan
The all, the one and the none
Lifts rock
Makes stuff
The sleeping hawk
The ticking clock
Hair of child
Skin of bone
Gift of flesh
Exchanged for a burn
I’m a drill
I drown the earth
Tectonic romance
Infinite rebirth
Magma
Essence oozing
Molten rock
Moving fluorescence
Melting all within its presence
Forever creeping luminescence
Destroying to invent
Magma god ever present
I live in debt
I bathe in glow
Subterranean web
Infest the soul
Flying arcs come bearing gifts
Praise the return of GI Joe
Brewing beneath
The magma shifts
Heavenly bird
Luscious cargo
Digging deep
Burying gifts for the molten god that sits beneath our feet
Great abyss
Offerings burn in the pit
We console
Reminisce for the molten god that sits
He’ll accept those that commit if we dance in the shit
Magma
Subterranean tsar
The scimitar and the neutron star
Makes from ether
Basalt weaver
Obsidian cleaver
Make believer
A rumble
A smile
A red tongue
Oesophagus
A greeting
A portal
Auto-cremate
Immortal
Magma
Fire bagwan
The all, the one and the none
Lifts rock
Makes stuff
The sleeping hawk
The ticking clock
Hair of child
Skin of bone
Gift of flesh
Exchanged for a burn
I’m a drill
I drown the earth
Tectonic romance
Infinite rebirth
Magma
Essence oozing
Molten rock
Moving fluorescence
Melting all within its presence
Forever creeping luminescence
Destroying to invent
Magma god ever present
I live in debt
I bathe in glow
Subterranean web
Infest the soul
Flying arcs come bearing gifts
Praise the return of GI Joe
Brewing beneath
The magma shifts
Heavenly bird
luscious cargo
Digging deep
Burying gifts for the molten god that sits beneath our feet
Great abyss
Offerings burn in the pit
We console
Reminisce for the molten god that sits
He’ll accept those that commit if we dance in the magma

The scimitar and the neutron star
Makes from ether
Basalt weaver
Obsidian cleaver

Lava
06:41
|

Death
Smells like boiled eggs
Death
A hot stove glowing red
Lava
Sticky like peanut butter
Lava
The ultimate stonecutter
Anointed in the bubbling lake
Charring lungs asphyxiate
Unlike quicksand it’s instant
Devours whole
No longer existent
Pumice rain engulfs
A mushroom cloud brings tumult
Remains are shells
Rain won’t quell
Earth is hell
Burning flesh and melting skin
I submit to the molten king
The messiah deep below
Give my essence to the afterglow
There I’ll speak to the magma lord
And bathe in the warmth of the red fjord
Past this life of green meadows
Lava afterlife in charred plateaus
The volcano is death
The lava is death
Death is life
The lava is life
The serpent is death
The serpent is death
The serpent is life
The serpent is life
The head is death
The tail is death
The head is life
The tail is life
The volcano is death
The lava is death
Death is life
The lava is life
The volcano is death
Death
Lava
Death

Hell's Itch
13:27
|
|||
Flick the switch
Hell’s itch
Derma-glitch
Hell’s itch
Bewitched
Hell’s itch
Perpetual twitch
Hell’s itch
Why, why, why when my nail glides through my epidermis does it feel so joyous?
The deeper the cut
The thicker the blood
Subcutaneous fat feels good like that
Dancing beneath my wafer-thin crust
Teasing me
Taunting me
My unquenchable lust
If only I could locate this bug
Oozing under like a slug
I’d slice my skin to get within
Lacerate my own linchpin
Nominate my next of kin
Destroy myself with no chagrin
Find the source of this deep remorse
Buried deep inside me like a sunken horse
Rooted below in the innermost abyss is a fathomless unscratchable itch
Shed my skin if need be to suppress the itch for it would fill me with glee
Whatever is this persistent yearn to rip off my skin and stop the burn
Crawling tender temptations
Catacombs beneath layers of hatching eggs
Thunder threads
Claws enthralled in pitted keratosis
Lacerations peeling paper thin
Barbecue skin
Deeper burying
Flick the switch
Hell’s itch
Derma-glitch
Hell’s itch
Bewitched
Hell’s itch
Perpetual twitch
Hell’s itch
Rising pitch
Hell’s itch
Latent witch
Hell’s itch
Grisly stitch
Hell’s itch
The old adage: Pain is easier to endure than an itch
Shed my skin if it need be
To suppress the itch would fill me with glee
Whatever is this persistent yearning to rip off my skin and stop the burning
Crawling tender temptations
Catacombs beneath layers of hatching eggs
Thunder threads
Claws enthralled in pitted keratosis
Lacerations peeling paper thin
Barbecue skin
Deeper burying
Flick the switch
Hell’s itch
Derma-glitch
Hell’s itch
Bewitched
Hell’s itch
Perpetual twitch
Hell’s itch
Let the sun burn
Oh, my cells gurn
When the skin drips I sing the hell’s itch
Deep in the compost
Believe that the worm can still see the light
Sing the hell’s itch
I sleep with the rat who’s kiss has set me free
Oh, I sing
Oh, I sing the hell’s itch
Prick the ceramic
Bodily condom be gone
Oh, baby please be gone
The breeze on my flesh feels so fuckin’ good
Look at me now, Helen
Yeah, I’m finally red
Oh, I’m finally red
Why, why, why when my nail glides through my epidermis does it feel so joyous?
The deeper the cut
The thicker the blood
Subcutaneous fat hurts good like that
Dancing beneath my wafer-thin crust
Teasing me
Taunting me
My unquenchable lust
If only I could locate this bug
Oozing under like a slug
I’d slice my skin to get within
Lacerate my own linchpin
Nominate my next of kin
Destroy myself with no chagrin
Find the source of this deep remorse
Buried deep inside me like a sunken horse
Rooted below in the innermost abyss is a fathomless unscratchable itch

Iron Lung
09:04
|
|||
Hey, oh
I’m in jail
Body failed
Now it’s me and my iron lung
Wrapped in iron
Deathless purgatory
Negative pressure
Airless breath
Wrapped in iron
Breathless purgatory
Positive pressure
Airless death
It’s a different kind of cuttlefish
Swing and a miss
Dancing with my eyes and lips
Can’t move my hips
Keep my mind distracted from the swish-swish
Staying sane and positive
Can’t crumble like a biscuit
Iron lung. Iron lung. Iron lung…
Space shuttle
Snail shell
Merry go round
Conveyor belt
The army tank ventilator
Mechanical bull respirator
Metallic cocoon boredom
Bionic boy
Pump my organs
Centre gravity
Planet me
Gimme the mushrooms
Time to leave
Iron lung. Iron lung. Iron lung…
Frog breath
Steam tent
Neck paralysis
Frog breath
Steam tent
Scared precarious
Frog breath
Steam tent
Neck paralysis
Congestion in my chest
Pins and needles like a voodoo evil
Got my doctor baffled
Every breath is an uphill battle
Frog breath
Steam tent
Neck paralysis
Congestion in my chest
Frog breath
Steam tent
Neck paralysis
Frog breath
Steam tent
Scared precarious
Frog breath
Steam tent
Neck paralysis
Sedated death
Hey, oh
The ship sailed
Train derailed
Now it’s me and my iron lung
Wrapped in iron
Deathless purgatory
Negative pressure
Airless breath
Wrapped in iron
Breathless purgatory
Positive pressure
Airless death
It’s a different kind of cuttlefish
Swing and a miss
Dancing with my eyes and lips
Can’t move my hips
Gotta keep my mind distracted from the swish-swish
I’m staying sane and positive
Can’t crumble like a biscuit
Iron lung. Iron lung. Iron lung…
Cylindrical prison
Newly arisen
Chained to a giant paper weight
Pain abates yet darkness permeates
Wallows my toes
Burdens my chest
My brain is pressed with an iron chest
Iron lung. Iron lung. Iron lung…

Gliese 710
07:48
|
|||
Melt the ice
Reheat the dead
Terraform the planet
Compress the lungs
Eat the mushroom
Cool the lava
Watch the new star dance upon the night sky
Fly my pretty silver lining
Wishful thinking
Strike defiant
Send your prayers for Gliese 710
Locked and loaded
Death descends
Alien figures stumble sickly as their planet bakes
Constellations crumble quickly
On the horizon; cosmic waves
Shooting stars rain upon a distant planet
Hadron colliding
Forked lightning
Melting the cake’s icing
Fragmentation
New permutations
Needlepoint mutilations
Stick the fork in the powerpoint to be perturbed by revelations
Freeze the water
Kill the living
Bake the planet
Suffocate the lungs
Grow the mushroom
Feed the volcano
Watch the new star dance upon the night sky
Boil the water
Bury the dead
Destroy the planet
Collapse the lungs
Disintegrate the mushroom
Join the volcano
Be a cloud of gas upon the night sky
