Outskirts

the blood has dried
the broken glass gets swept aside
I am the mud that plugs the drains
I am the rug that hides the stains
on the outskirts of the storm
I form the flood the dam contains
it rains here every day
at least it feels that way
I fell behind, but my brain looks
better dressed in grey
I'm unknown to you
but somewhere, some day soon
from the outskirts I'll arrive, fists high
and then I will break through
I'm on the edge of something big
I'm on the edge and looking down
I'm on the outskirts of your life, are you prepared?
I'm on the outskirts of my mind and skipping town
you'll find a crime that pays my friend, and so will I

Seize Control

seize control
seize control
but I can't, not here, not now
seize control
I knew a man, he was a friend of mine
until the sickness got him, too
he bought a room atop the Tower of London
just to improve his view
he said, help us help ourselves through
help me help you
and when we've helped the very last straggler
we'll start round two
he's a parasite born of slime, just like me
it's their contagion that makes them celebrities
celebrating their disease
seize control
their god's got a tail, it leaves a telltale trail
of sacrament, watch out behind their monuments
you might step in it
I knew a man who tried to take that shortcut home
but it swallowed him whole
here we are, we're the children of discharge
here we are
here we are, we're the children of the stars
of the stars
by the light of the moon, they feed
in the frenzy we call them celebrities
celebrating their disease
seize control
my limbs were fins before I crawled ashore
before the sea recedes to distant memory
before the awkward lines a child writes
before all this became the life that I would lead
my only wish: to be a fish
seize control

Bion Boston, Massachusetts
Stripped-down progressive rock that's heavy. Weird enough to keep us interested for at least 45 minutes. Best enjoyed live... or at least alive.
