My baby came home Acting shy and meek My jaw cracked the floor tiles She’d been missing all week I questioned her thorough She fumbled the plot Cause my baby’d been hanging Down at the barber shop You can’t trust a barber You can’t trust a barber with your baby...

Let’s join a cult just to feel individual Separate myself to something non-divisible Enchanted by inferior design But you are still just an eyesore Don’t stop now, you’re a diva baby Oh, you’re the verbal kind Get on it, get on it Now, you’re mine I got splinters from the timber Climbing over the fence Someone said it was better Didn’t mention the weather I got splinter from the timber Climbing over the fence Someone said it’s fortuitous to knock on the wood I guess I misunderstood Easy to please is not a fucking compliment Why don’t you take a step inside You’ll find that’s not what I meant I’ll glue to you with nostalgia too So stick it, stick it, stick it ~ You want it, get on it, The acid tongue, the formidable lung No word of a lie Get on it, neurotic, Forced conversations are where you confide You’re of a verbal kind Misunderstood, you’re misunderstood ~ Get on it, get on it You want it

Flush with red, left all other reason Please don’t think I’m rude but could I Borrow your identity? Cash our smiles for bloodshot idols, our savior Eversion therapy I never meant for lacerations I never meant for going back One time, two minds doped with elation Is that what I lacked? Matchstick tricks, diplomatic dance on the ceiling Would you dare forget to bring more luck? Ready to leave, generic genes re-seeded They’re growing well enough ~ I trust and love to hate your discretion Have some tools to build yourself a better friend Catch the bland addiction, save it for later I swear we never meant to offend ~

Mechanesque 04:02
Mesmerelical, A sudden art entwined in sheets The record spent Harbours discontent of nature rarely seen You finished all the words ate them down Half-hearted heretic I have owed I have only thanks for the love of fear intoxicating Seems it meant more We deserve them I do adore Lead us in circles I was vexed by obsessions with all that I could see It’s okay to care if you keep it secret Can it be solved? Should it be left? Well it’s all the same to me Stuck on smaller details, careless caress Let me see them all, see them all wherever they may be The sudden mystery is quite appealing Quietly deceived ~ Ruling with an ironic fist has gotten so old Ruling with an ironic fist is such a bore Even more than before The sudden mystery is quite appealing Lead us in circles
5.
Digital depressions gone Hail in the new liberated social tide Riddles for keeping occupied They’re deep as a puddle Ready to be weary but still wary of reply From a single cell, the sacred standards doubled Triple distilled, what is trouble now? There’s a break in the wall, And it’s coming to stay How was this started? Why am I lying for change Coming clean for assisted satisfaction deals The water is tainted, it’s straight from the store Disposable reaction steal I need to break free, there’s a break in the wall Is it worth to throw away For a momentary lapse of freedom? And we’ll linger on, yeah we’ll linger on it This ain’t over Chained down Deliver the noose Does it dignify my pain? Or did I take a bullet to the head? Again? ~ My sliding door got jammed open to late (Always relevant, never old) I will break the wall And we’ll linger on, yeah we’ll linger on it This ain’t over I will break the wall (Time to see where you will stand) Falling through time to see where I stand Falling through time to see that this is All vain now This is so, vain now (digital depressions gone) I am over this, so over this I will break the wall Break this wall It time! See where you will stand!

Swim little fish, Cascade over my tongue I wish for your toothpick bones Or I’ll kick you in your caviar Escape my plate It was your brother I ate Emancipate the tank, wait... The young diver he sank (Swim little fish) Lemons full of acid Squeeze them on John Dory He’ll trip every fin Hooked on the starfish limb Swim little fish or you’ll end up a dish Of mine, of mine, of mine...
7.
Who said who said there might be a trend In the morning desire? When special occasions of physical failures draw near Why can’t you be closer so I’d have a reason to disappear? Break my dependency Confidence in common sense only got me half the way Eyelash, waterbrash Most of them are innocent ‘cause the spoken word ain’t forged Scratch it in! Who said who said I was betting on interest Cause me, I’m a seller And that’s more than I would tell her Now I see that you came, neglected you gave And it seems I’ve fallen back into the shade I’m tracing steps you never even made ~ (So it goes, this road will spiral) If we could just decide to rearrange and divide By scratching it in, it’s just an itch It’s just an itch

(I think it’s) All in a day, the backstab for the building Shower cold His history melts my head, someone pulled the curtain I’m no older Stay and steal the show (I think he) Gets what he expects, but we’ll never see repeated For once (is it an) Easy fix, araldite elixir Replace arms chewed off Took eight years to grow a lighthouse build on gauze Now that’s there’s of course Patients peeled in the landfill from the window sill Stay and steal the show Is that fathers remorse? He got fathers remorse Now that’s there’s of course Took a call to the ward I forget when he rushed out, to the fall out We’re on board to restore a century of farmhouse Vacant and so... ... now that I know that we stayed too long here My, how he has grown, stuck in the mud, dear That rich kid deserves nothing but scorn here It’s an immediate bitch, just stayed too long STAY ~ (FUCK THAT SEAL HE VOMITED ON ONE)

April Fools 04:14
I feel the need to repeat myself Atomic groupings are a personal hell And try as I might to take the words from your mouth Still the look on your face just can’t say enough It’s no wonder the mood was right Pages in stages, avoiding the call Don’t think that I have left for good I was never here at all Refusing the part, it’s better to be Dead at the start, laugh terminally Cause the promise was on the premise to get shattered with a promiscuous view (kids in films get real fucked up but still turn out fine) It’s no wonder the room was bright Collisions abandoned, fucked up by a call Hopefully hindsight breaks my neck I was never here at all I was never here at all

about

He Danced Ivy Brisbane City, Australia

Imagine if you will, Incubus sitting down to have tea with Jeff Buckley, when all of a sudden, Soundgarden burst into the room. Confused, Queens of the Stone Age tried to calm the situation, before being struck over the head by Violent Soho. Smashing Pumpkins smashed pumpkins, and halloween was ruined.
Thus, He Danced Ivy.
