Cosmic Nothings (I)
02:38
|

{Behind the vastness of the universe, there is a laugh track playing}
Cosmic Nothings, finding sleep
Lost the battle while I was counting sheep
Electric fingers, that run me on,
Killed the moonlight, so I had no dawn
What's been twisting metal hearts
Years of beginnings, but they're all false starts
Cosmic Nothings
Changing truths
A few strange thoughts and I'm something new
Cosmic Nothings
I'm just future dust of tomorrow
I'm just future dust...(x3)
i'm just dust

{A love song...about eating people}
-chorus I-
{The Invitation/Awakening}
He's always sleeping 'round here
Cut off his skin, he won't even notice
Come take a taste now my dear
It will change your life for good
There's something growing inside
I see the change in your skin and eyes now
Oh what you'll do to be free
Well there's enough flesh left on me (oh Darlin')
-chorus II-
{The Hunger/New forms}
And how the blood drips on down
You look so wonderful, wonderful now
"You're such a fine, you're such a fine young specimen"
I built a heart for you, while you were busy building your garden
I think I see the truth, saw them girls kissin' in the garden, running all them bodies thru
I'm just a snowman in June, a rusting tin man waiting for an ocean
And with no flesh left to chew
Them girls left me burning with my ancient notions (ah)
-chorus III-
{Destruction/The Celebration)

{What arguments have been heard, between the body and mind, all dressed up to play their parts, as they cease to know each other}
I can see it, can embrace your love
Can you hear it, it's a thousand ways
It's a silence, as a child I am
Like a violent little lonely one
So, it goes quiet
I am more than just your home
Come, so much violence
to be held down by soft clothes
So it comes down to dirty look
Written pages on bookstore book
Like a god dammed little child
I could have scolded you, but I didn't try
It's like violence, it's like violence ohhh
It's like violence, it just is born with us
It's like violence, it's like violence ohhh
It's like violence, it just is born with us
Take your coat off, put your hot hands up
There's enough warmth here to be both of us
It is wet and it's filling me with this sort of feeling that makes my knuckles twist
There's a building "thing" in an empty space
There's a picture here, but nobodies face
Just come on
No comment..(and no colour)
Nobodies face is common, is common, is common
No bodies, no bodies, no bodies...

{Oh to know those hungry, horny ghosts, endless in form and motion}
(And) I'm talking dirty with the spirits tonight, with the spirits tonight
And I'm, talking dirty with the spirits tonight, with the spirits tonight
And it's...
(The Spirit's chorus sings)
Take my skin and take my bones
Give me flesh to make my own
First I'm here and then I'm gone
Turn my shades of green back on
Cause I'm talking dirty with the spirits tonight, with the spirits tonight
And I'm talking dirty with the spirits tonight, with the spirits tonight
and it's...
Milky legs come spill your moon
Come alive, clutch and swoon
Tear me in to tear me out
Never mind, it's allowed
Swallow sky with starlit skin
Turn me on to turn me in
Push your lightening thru my mouth
Electric tongues come pour me out

Lights

Moving mountains, making motions
I believe in bigger things
Hear them spirits calling slowly, disappear beneath these sheets
When do the lights go down
When do the lights go down
When do the lights go down
Silence runs this broken body, I become a different age
I can hear my bones all talking, take me to that sacred place
When do the lights go down
When do the lights go down
When do the lights go down
When do the lights go down

{I looked to the mountains, to the sky, to the stars, to the wild glory of it all. And to me it said "Shut Up"}
(Pt. I)
Here I grew fangs, here I grew fur
Wild like a monster I ran, out thru the mountains
Into the trees, far from myself
Here I began, I dreamed of the world
I dreamed of the world, I dreamed of the lost light and all of those girls
The lips of lovers that I'll never see
like a blood red moon cast on a dream
Here I spoke hours, I danced with the ghosts
I bled out the blood that I needed most
But here I buried my body, covered in shame
And there I lay, out in the sun, dancing for the rain
Oh how it came, oh how it fell, never a heaven and never a hell
I heard the world change in my head, but oh...
"Shut up" the Mountain God said
(Pt. II)
"Shut up" the Mountain God said,
"Stand in the silence. Begone with your head.
All that you clutch and you hold, some day will fade, be dust and be bones."
"Shut up" the Mountain God said,
"All that you are now is nothing instead. Be where you are for the signs, all that you have is moments in time"
"Shut up" the Mountain God said,
"Leave it alone, live here instead. Go find a lover, stand in the light, crawl thru the Emptiness, love what you love and be gone."

Found my love, hiding in the shadows
Pouring out my body, like a stream
Loose leaf love, and I can't quite remember
What it is or how it felt to me
And I can hear the gods off in the distance
Howlin' as they're laughing here at me
I can feel myself become the nothing
I'm pulling out, I'm bursting at my seams
Here in my love, I found my shadows
Something pulls me down and I feel nothing
Traced across my skin and thru my eyes
I'm speaking with the sound of all the mountains
Everything looks different before you die
Here in my love I found my shadows
Now it comes and now it's gone, I'm staying
Far from where I've been, it all will change
Swallow ghosts without the past or present
I believe there's something in the way
Here in my love I found my shadows

{And at the end he asked her "Which of it was really me?" "All of it," she replied, "even the parts that hurt."}
But if you need belief, then darling don't you fear
I'm just a nihilist with some big idea
And if you need release, well I will be right here
I'll hold your holy hands while you disappear
But in turn, I will warp, I will fade
In this beautiful way
All them restless lovers, all them ghosts in covers, all them wicked men
In the end, they were all just the same
All them holy words, all them gods in turn and all them sins
In the end, they were ink on a page
And all them dirty jokes, all them hearts we broke and all we've been
In the end they will change, it will fade
All things, All things end the same
