Side 2

Pillars of Salt

The obvious is so hidden sometimes
Stories stitched
I saw some photos the other the day,
Connecting tissue
Of a time where I was happy.
How are you?
Chalk of my bones
I know you’re struggling.
It made me wonder if it would happen again
Begging in their stomachs
Something that reaches out to touch
Danced
Something
To remember
Again and again
Painted
We are only ever alone together.
the first two beats are slow


Wait until I find you again.
Maybe we can have a tea party in the sand,
Like old times.
Hold my hand
And say it was just a dream.
You, who always stays,
Dance the dance of fire,
Dance the dance of rain.


You, I put on my costume
anyway
for another day.


Waiting Room 2

Ah, I can swim, swim across this lake.
And he comes up to me, pushes me.
And there was this guy on this canoe, this old man,
And he says, “What are you on?”
“What drugs are you taking?”
I’d never taken any drugs in my life.
“Nothing, I’m not on anything.”
So I swam to the middle of the lake.
Had a bit a of a swim around
Got to the other side of the lake.
Then I just started running
I was so shocked
Get off me.
Don’t f***ing touch me.

Uh huh, yeah alright
You leave in the evening and arrive in the morning, maybe.


Young Joe’s Rag

and I just think he’s the bee’s knees
..but I just fall in love with him, instantly
and we’re just chatting:
Chatting, chatting, chatting.
…charging out of full forward
What did you do?
to the right, to the left
This is where it is, let’s go…
and straight through the middle.
Hah! How old were you?
Hello? Hey darling!
What? Do you remember why you left?
Pssst
Yeah
What did you do? What’s your..
Not sure.
Oh, ha!

Cooee!


Carmena

(Remember to blow out the candles).

I was at my Mum’s house.
My Mum loves Christmas decorations.

My brother comes home…
What’s that on the train tracks? Oh.

Santa, Santa, Santa…
Lots of candles…

And I lit all of the candles,
and just, psshht, passed out.


House on Fire

Opens up the door
and its just filled with smoke.
Smell smoke
Hauptmann…

Herr Hauptmann…

Just standing watching the house burn
Fire!

The Fire Brigade
So I run back in
It was pretty hot

Being in there smelling the smoke..
Oh, this is dangerous,
I need to get out of here.

All the fire

It’s just full of fire,
It’s just flames everywhere.

Hail Mary full of Grace
Blessed art thou among women
Please get me out of here
Please please please please get me out.



Fragments pieced back together,
tender with truth.

I’ve been peering out at you for years,
hoping you will finally take me in.
