lyrics

Bare feet echo off a mirrored floor, skin sticks for a second and then peels leaving a faint warm print slowly evaporating.

Look up, one eye is visible as she’s softly whispering into an ear. The face obscured.

The sound of the oscillating fan hums along cold convulsing bodies knocking against bleached vinyl tiles. Across the hall hopeful legs move, soon to be left dissatisfied. A far away conversation hangs in the background. Pay attention and words appear. Forewords then backwards, moving in and out of sync like limbs, curtains caught in wind.

A piece of fruit, oozing juice lays dormant in a heavy steel bowl. Disinterested fingers scratching up thick vines, bare no flowers bare no fruit. The only sun it’s seen through a crack in the blind glimmers off a suntan reflector being used in view by a leather headless torso. Soak in the artificial bulbs and repeated fractures cause warm viscos to run down from within. Keep it in. Keep it in. Contained in a locked box, a room with no doors just soft velvet corridors. Figments of imagination, fragments of reality cut through. Can’t tell which one.

The tap drips, drips. Pouring and dribbling over chest, a companion that will eat death with full cheeks of cake and moves to distant concrete streets. The like to never see when locked in psychotic dreams, locked inside chaotic dreams, locked in psychotic dreams, locked inside chaotic dreams.

Great LP overall but Donovan’s Daughters is just one of my favourite tracks of all time. I can listen to that one on repeat for hours! Buzzario
