Barometrics (A ****** of Fates) By Andrew Robinson [Solo intro] [Clean Phase I (instr.)] [Clean Phase II, verse] At the blistered contacts At the suit of flies Come to recover Come bite to pry Careful corrosion Ornate rusts, they run The rotten circumference Expire in change The fade verse subsides As wounds bleed their age Lacquer sick on the flesh Drunken fathoms Drink me! [Clean Phase III] [Distorted Phase I over distorted Phase III] [Distorted Phase II, verse] Seeped warp of walls A sanguine distance Steeped liquor, combine An astral chance With combustion and form Fevers masked in blood Calls dissonant pulse Drag our sour roots Throats of the rip tide Choke lecherous grooves Bore forty knots haste Set bones with the mud Come Skye! [Distorted Phase IV, chorus] Over the silence Nerves contract Over the sun The waves sing back From the rubble I’ll come home, to you [Distorted Phase II, verse] Wet mottled and suture Yet the coursing ache Brims ******* flotsam Pulls at our wake My contour dissolve Key strokes soak Color! Me a new world [Distorted Phase I over distorted Phase III] [Distorted Phase IV, chorus] Over the silence Nerves contract Over the sun The waves sing back From the rubble I’ll come home, to you Cover the oceans In ashen stars Cover the night Our tempest hearts Somewhere I have a mind To hold on to! [Cesura] [Distorted Phase V, bridge] She wanes Wading out the shallow Of the lights, an engine of ink ‘hind my eye Due depth Shake horizon’s fray Withered wind of the sea My decay [Clean Phase III, bridge cont.] When hell wakes And manifests the clasp Of the calloused oil In my hands And the blade I’ll send my pride and crass Beside my crimes and guilt Out to shore With brittle oars [Distorted Phase IV, chorus] Over the silence Nerves contract Over the sun The waves sing back From the rubble I’ll come home, to you Cover the oceans In ashen stars Cover the night Our tempest hearts Somewhere I dream of you In tides! Oh, in tides! [Clean Phase I over Distorted Phase III; slow and fade to end]

There’s no way out of here alive With molten fever consuming my fraying mind Bound fragile to flesh cast cog Bound to sprocket and brittle bone This hollow machine I call my own Harbors both frontline and buried home Thickly sick in uncertain, clogs A riddled complex bleached with textureless rooms Where, scrawled white, scribbled deep, the walls sputter Void of voice and prop yet choked with clutter None window, none door, save intangible lover Offering both belief of choice and doom Her name wanders worlds to haunt my lips But only death and delusion come to meet my kiss There, splashed and splayed through blistering ash Dripping sparks from horizon’s blazed ceiling I’m thrown ‘gainst the frame, my heart reeling So the earth holds me to the floor, both of us bleeding I, within, myself, side foiled folds and crass Lo, her silent beauty weeps and screams Siren! Angel! Demon! ; So I’m Pygmalion’s craze And her, his pride to leave me razed Then I, her bird, braves her play and blade That carves my fall through trap-rapt dream For her and I, on wings; hopes tried, To wake and break us out alive.

There’s no way out of here alive With molten fever consuming my fraying mind Bound fragile to flesh cast cog Bound to sprocket and brittle bone This hollow machine I call my own Harbors both frontline and buried home Thickly sick in uncertain, clogs A riddled complex bleached with textureless rooms Where, scrawled white, scribbled deep, the walls sputter Void of voice and prop yet choked with clutter None window, none door, save intangible lover Offering both belief of choice and doom Her name wanders worlds to haunt my lips But only death and delusion come to meet my kiss There, splashed and splayed through blistering ash Dripping sparks from horizon’s blazed ceiling I’m thrown ‘gainst the frame, my heart reeling So the earth holds me to the floor, both of us bleeding I, within, myself, side foiled folds and crass Lo, her silent beauty weeps and screams Siren! Angel! Demon! ; So I’m Pygmalion’s craze And her, his pride to leave me razed Then I, her bird, braves her play and blade That carves my fall through trap-rapt dream For her and I, on wings; hopes tried, To wake and break us out alive.

Tell me it’s alright Tell me I can unwrap my eyes Again And witness the sun Rise against Your shaking skin Shaking in The warmth And gored glow Of the fire that you lit At the frayed ends Of my nerves, of my hollow At the throb of my heart This world is mine now There will be no apologies There will be no regrets This world is mine now From all your pooling blues To all your scream drenched reds Tell me you’re coming now Follow the blood Back home Don’t weep at the grave Of deception There you’ll dry out, all alone There is an art In my destruction In your tragedy Tell me you see Tell me you understand All the beauty still to come, So come with me This world is mine now There will be no more sadness There will be no more mistakes This world is mine now Anew for your wonder To wander its place Awake Awake Awake And you’re mine

Your World is Mine

Tell me it’s alright Tell me I can unwrap my eyes Again And witness the sun Rise against Your shaking skin Shaking in The warmth And gored glow Of the fire that you lit At the frayed ends Of my nerves, of my hollow At the throb of my heart This world is mine now There will be no apologies There will be no regrets This world is mine now From all your pooling blues To all your scream drenched reds Tell me you’re coming now Follow the blood Back home Don’t weep at the grave Of deception There you’ll dry out, all alone There is an art In my destruction In your tragedy Tell me you see Tell me you understand All the beauty still to come, So come with me This world is mine now There will be no more sadness There will be no more mistakes This world is mine now Anew for your wonder To wander its place Awake Awake Awake And you’re mine

Patience was late to my funeral On your casual ears my voice fell with vicious volume Bettering any necessity of childish cry Yet behind the plastic tones I am as silent as a lamb. Here heard confession: I’ve been least courteous To these young years who welcomed me over their frame With warmly bared arms, I met with fire; Over each threshold my feet held more dirt Held more scars, my veins ran rank with abuse, Breath reeked from the dead dry words that spilled Over every other girl’s neck, Over every other girl’s lips, A neat and fancy fiction I buried myself in Six sick feet under their benevolent belief Because I felt less To nothing. I crawled inside a hot-boxed bottle comfortably Hidden myself away from the unmuted madness manifesting memories That I relived each night I stared into the dark, That I tasted on every other lie; Here I lie. My rudely ignorant body is hollow At the naïve request to revel with reveries of my heart, Yet the pull tears worse through the chasm Than through any suffering flesh… And I can hear Your echoing voice Still in kiss, it keeps me still, Because it could save me From myself: You. ...of Mephistopheles

Patience was Late to my Funeral

Patience was late to my funeral On your casual ears my voice fell with vicious volume Bettering any necessity of childish cry Yet behind the plastic tones I am as silent as a lamb. Here heard confession: I’ve been least courteous To these young years who welcomed me over their frame With warmly bared arms, I met with fire; Over each threshold my feet held more dirt Held more scars, my veins ran rank with abuse, Breath reeked from the dead dry words that spilled Over every other girl’s neck, Over every other girl’s lips, A neat and fancy fiction I buried myself in Six sick feet under their benevolent belief Because I felt less To nothing. I crawled inside a hot-boxed bottle comfortably Hidden myself away from the unmuted madness manifesting memories That I relived each night I stared into the dark, That I tasted on every other lie; Here I lie. My rudely ignorant body is hollow At the naïve request to revel with reveries of my heart, Yet the pull tears worse through the chasm Than through any suffering flesh… And I can hear Your echoing voice Still in kiss, it keeps me still, Because it could save me From myself: You. ...of Mephistopheles

Nova Andrew Robinson 11/1/10 So who’s gonna watch you smile Should you ever make it home With your soul raw in full panic And feet worn to the bone I know it burns Holes through your scars I know how it Tears you apart So who’s gonna watch you fly When our scorched earth cracks asunder Not even you in flushed highs Desperately lost in wonder I know it burns Holes through your arms I know how it Tears you apart Still you, ignite Through my dreams A graceful destruction Of my everything Now I need to know What you think you see When you stare infinite Worlds through me Into the stars So who’s gonna watch you pry Your ashen breaths open From your hallowed chest who Nightmares swallowed So who’s gonna watch you cry Should you ever fall and break Within the blood and gore Of your own rapture’s wake I know it burns Holes through your heart I know how it Tears you apart So who’s gonna watch you die This time So who’s gonna watch you die Inside Still you, ignite Through my dreams A graceful destruction Of my everything Now I need to know What you think you see When you stare infinite Worlds through me Into the dark

“Parasite” By Andrew Robinson [INTRO] [VERSE] It drips right off your tender luscious lips And spills around your strangled clumsy grip I watch you lick it up, up off the floor All the feelings that you have out worn It confuses splinters And buries itself Impatient shakes That carve your hell I watch you paint it on Over your skin All the feelings That swell within [PRECHORUS] So you are When you fall Divine And you are When you’re gone Still mine {VERSE] You burn right up through all your colors Blister to frays rapt like no other I watch you thirst it down affections pressed Thick in the ink your heart’s mute confess [PRECHORUS] So you are When you fall Divine And you are When you’re gone Still mine [CHORUS] Please wake me from This heartless home My dear Throw me to the stars Please wake me from This love so denied My dear Tell me you’re not far [POSTCHORUS] [VERSE] Blushed in the glow of cinder’s cutting smoke I consume the dust and you let me choke Such rich pleasure, oh, such retreat I arm my best jealousy at your feet So playful on The butcher’s block But the wolf is dead And so is the flock You splay their smiles You tear their tears But no one knows It’s you you fear [PRECHORUS] So you are When you fall Divine And you are When you’re gone Still mine [CHORUS] Please wake me from This heartless home My dear Throw me to the stars Please wake me from This love so denied My dear Tell me you’re not far [BRIDGE/SOLO] [CHORUS] So you are When you fall Divine And you are When you’re gone Still my Home, my hollow heart

Please wait for me I’ll catch up soon If you let me Lace our hands, I’ll Follow you I drag my gaze As I wrap you Around my nerves Tangled and pulled close into The deepest soft purple hues Take it all off And close your eyes To truly see me As colossal stars collide We drench our skin In beating breaths From deep within Clenching onto all that’s left From the torment that we’ve kept Wake up And never look back Through the nightmares That seethe through the cracks Hold tight Onto our hearts Bittersweet dream Will fall apart Together all apart You’re always My everything Even when trapped Between the gaps in this nothing Come meet me here At the crossroads Of Never’s end Our one and only home In a world of plastic thrones Wake up And never look back Through the nightmares That seethe through the cracks Hold tight Onto our hearts Bittersweet dream We’ll fall apart Together all apart I tore forth a death tattered cry Threw myself at your soul’s side And I took on Never For us, to keep ourselves Since the shot drenched the air with fear Broke our lungs with ashen tears And you took on Forever To fall asleep Hear this madness festering Wake up And never look back Through the nightmares That seethe through the cracks Hold tight Onto our hearts Bittersweet dream We’ll fall apart Together all apart

Warm night stretches its silent breaths across these stagnant hours They ripple like an unworldly ocean that tempts a sailor’s most strained reach But my sails are torn through with a wanderer’s navigation Upon this endless sea of patient hopes and horrors And I close my eyes dream tight in sewn with such a fright That upon their parted shutters I will still see nothing Because your smile feints just over that intangible horizon so taunting Smile into the day as I pull myself through the dark So I took on the edge of the world, the edge of sanity Clutching at the crags to pull myself out of this dull droned deep hell Above the clouds into my florid reveries with fragile flight Although I lost all names and labels of retold in folded certainties I finally made it through the strong woven break But who’s to tell me when I am to ever wake? Definitely upon indefinite travel, this weary and constant sailor says Not even you.

Warm night stretches its silent breaths across these stagnant hours They ripple like an unworldly ocean that tempts a sailor’s most strained reach But my sails are torn through with a wanderer’s navigation Upon this endless sea of patient hopes and horrors And I close my eyes dream tight in sewn with such a fright That upon their parted shutters I will still see nothing Because your smile feints just over that intangible horizon so taunting Smile into the day as I pull myself through the dark So I took on the edge of the world, the edge of sanity Clutching at the crags to pull myself out of this dull droned deep hell Above the clouds into my florid reveries with fragile flight Although I lost all names and labels of retold in folded certainties I finally made it through the strong woven break But who’s to tell me when I am to ever wake? Definitely upon indefinite travel, this weary and constant sailor says Not even you.

Neptune Eyed baby I'll admit I'm Light-years past crazy I'd give The Galaxy For you Juniper Burned Haley's Comet as it Lit up our daily Blues Set in our awkward shoes Mind-tight dreaming Garnished with gleaming Silence kept screaming In hope for the breaking word Spark-wet Drenched breaths Under the tree That murdered death I'd make The sun burn For you Grass-stained Sky-dressed You leave me to My obsession's mess-y Blues Set in our awkward shoes Mind tight dreaming Garnished with gleaming Silence kept screaming In hope for the breaking word Violent heart rate In nerve-wrecked state Tempting all fates To go back on their word And I say Goodbye, Cornea, Goodbye And I say I love you, Cornea Goodnight And I say Goodbye, Alice, Goodbye And I say I love you, Alice Goodnight Mind-tight dreaming Garnished with gleaming Silence kept screaming In hope for the breaking word Violent heart rate In nerve-wrecked state Tempting all fates To go back on their word Neptune Eyed baby I'll admit I'm Light-years past crazy For you

Off this crumbling frame Chance the fall Into your gaping chest Followed my bleeding Dreams on wing To lay where you rest Slow burn With veins in the wall I’m home Nerve’s knots braved my steps This mad chase Through the maddening reign Nightmares gored my eyes I felt through To catch your throbbing name Thirsty Ink-bitten hands I’m home Of all my hours That you fill I drown My highest hopes Black and blue To keep you Throw me across the sun Ashes to ashes Blow me away Upon the beat and break Of your hell hung heart Breathe me awake If you E’er dare To run My beautiful beast With rapture blushed skin Drenched with sparks So demure in your Wild whipped temper Thick sick of dark Razor Feather sewn arms I’ll wait Come on, Hasten haste Search the threads Lies woven in your spine Rip the sutures free Will you feel Once again, in time Patience War worn back I’ll wait Of all my hours That you fill I drown My highest hopes Black and blue To keep you Throw me across the sun Ashes to ashes Blow me away Upon the beat and break Of your hell hung heart Breathe me awake If you E’er dare To speak You defy to **** death This fevered wonder Your mirror’s pride In which you lay yourself To bed and to sleep ‘Hind hollow eyes Will you E’er dare To fly
