Bone
01:47

Bone provides structure from the base of the brain
all the way down to the toes.
Bone provides structure from the base of the brain
all the way out to the stone.
Skull shoots out teeth past tongue
and gives us words we can say.
Skull shoots out teeth past tongue
to chew through the rest of the day.
The structures we build model us
from blood and bones to shapely nose!
The structures we build model us
but who gives a fuck about those.
In hands take mud and shale and clay
and shape it into toys for play.

Brain

Workday plugged in,
brain buzz humming,
war cry interrupt.
Rhythm hits
so you don't get
past where you've had enough.
Brain buzz never
takes a break, though.
Slowly creeping up.
Entertainment,
food and fucking,
sleep, intoxicants.
Work-life balance
frees the brain
to smile, supplicant.
Reproduce yourself for profit
keep your comrades close.
Not so near
you can act collective,
self-care's quite enough.
Subtle strains of tumbled pop
lurk in the back of mind.
Factories still make the soundtrack.
Noise is mighty fine.
The brain's a bone
big as two fists
kept meaty by your blood.
It thinks of stone
and how to trick
the world into a flood.
Resultant mud and shale and clay
the brain can take in hand.
And shape it into toys for play
and homes upon the sand.
Shift has ended, time for eating
sleep and then go back.
Stories help beat back the buzzing
brain goes silent; lack.

Blood
01:44
|

Warm rush.
Brain touch.
Bone.
In blood
cold clot,
stone.
Thick pumps
til vein's
blown.
Seeps out,
not your
own.
[Chorus]
"No hay
banda,
and yet"
Blood music's
persistent.
Illusion
must go on
City, body,
song.
Skin turns
purple,
black.
You stay
silent;
tact.
Brain goes
silent;
lack.
Stone shifts.
Pumping's
back.
[Chorus]
A minor
heart, a
tack
The flow be
gins to
roam
A silly
fluid
sack.
A body's
not a
home.

Stone
01:44
|

Driving down a city street
your tire kicks up a rock.
It fires off a hundred feet
toward an apartment block
The edifice is made of stone;
it bounces harmlessly.
Blood and bone led on by brain
Have built out this city.
Streetlamps rush by in a blur
until you pull up, stop.
Head inside those neon lights
and order up a shot.
"A body's not a home," they say,
"take this establishment.
"Brick by brick, stone by steel,
"that's how your money's spent.
"These painted walls, those neon lights
"the booze and that there brand,
"There's not a thing within your sight
"Weren't made by someone's hand."
You pay your tab and hop back in
so you can head back out.
The highway's tongue laps you right up
and chooses your new route.
Past homes then farms then fields then hills
past cows and trains and bees,
even the wilds are nothing but
avenues all lined with trees.
