lyrics

It was rhythm that began me
felt lapping at the skin and heard rippling
sound introduced the colour like a feeling in the dark
then all was colour
it was all I could see
until the language of the world took over in solid lines to describe me.

I was born with a chemistry set for a body
I consume time, space, mass, oxygen and energy.
I make heat, carbon-dioxide, feces, piss, saline solution, acids (amino and other) magnetism and electricity.

A trail of dead.
I trail the dead.

This language of form makes a fence of a body.

Sound awoke into shape, sun to skin so you can see the boundary.
Cells are swelling in my brain so all I have is the skin of my memory.
When I was young I feared leaving myself behind.
Then I discovered all the things that have no need of discovery.

This language of form makes a fence of a body.

Look at us pressing these bones together.
There'll be nothing but dust left by morning.
We press together past flesh and into bone until we pass through
to the other side.
We'll grind one-another away.
But I'm a lightbulb, a bright lightbulb a-buzzing for you.
