water on chrome can you feel it in the atmosphere? this place is lit up like a chandelier and i'm on the outer rim torn in two in the outcome of an avalanche when can i return to a normal stance? cos here i don’t feel a thing i’ve been in orbit for a century but now gravity’s pulling me from you i’m losing signal i’m losing signal see me drift off let me shoot an sos leave me floating out of range out of sight out of range out of sight water on chrome can you feel it in the atmosphere? i mean it’s pouring its from the apertures of this lonely craft well i thought that you had seen me fire a flare into the sky i was waving from the cockpit i watched you pass me by and dissolve into nowhere see me drift off let me shoot an sos leave me floating out of range out of sight if i could shoot an sos, if i could shoot an sos

alison oh alison i keep my friends close my enemies closer and my lovers even closer still to my chest all locked up play my cards pretty tight cover all the exits and practice every line but now ive finally met my match hes always ten steps ahead of me and science and philosophy aint gonna save me this time alison i never should have gone im sorry that i left you i never should have gone alison i estimated wrong the angles of the axes i was balancing us on hes a liar hes a liar hes a wizard and a spy looking at you with those greedy eyes and i know that you wont come back now that hes caught me out again what a fool what a bigot ive been with all my theories of affection and rational intentions i never gave you love alison i never should have gone im sorry that i left you id been lying all along alison i estimated wrong the angles of the axes i was balancing us on alison oh alison alison i never should have gone im sorry that i left you id been lying all along alison i estimated wrong the angles of the axes i was balancing us on oh alison i calculated wrong the elements and accidents that i was anchored on oh alison the stringing you along is the single most damned selfish thing that i have ever done

john fowles “the magus” a revised 1977 version of the 1966 original vintage books london can these pages help me sense what life was like for my mother in her youth? or my grandmothers memories help me understand even a little her life at my age? here is an old saying if a tree falls in a village but years later no one can remember it did it ever make a sound?

smell of disinfectant and a saline drip looking for the man that i had grown up with inside the hazes a history of faces a mental fortress lock without a key reliving younger years up on repeat photographs of strangers spread out on the tables an empty bedframe where your lover lived she died in april but you dont know it no you dont know it every time i see you im looking for the real you i know you know me i can tell you know me deep down inside you where you used to know me making visits on the weekends up on the third floor in residential care are you content in being unaware? i long for the moment when it triggers, when you tell me that you love me and then it fades away what if you never remember me one day? memory it is a fragile thing are you yourself without it? will you be you without it? momentarily you break out of your cage and recognise me only in what is temporary and now the present is your past the distant memories theyre the ones that last your military stripes and your football vest is this a lens into my future? how much of you is now a part of me? will I endure this sickness that I see? will it take my memory it is a fragile thing are you yourself without it? would you be you without it? momentarily you break out of your cage and recognise me only in what is temporary memory it is a fragile thing

Canary 03:06
i'll be your canary living in the tunnels where i can sense the venom when it's all around you i will light the fires and decorate the beacons and i'll go first silent as the alpine my feet are getting weaker as the air is getting sweeter right before i pass out i'll illuminate the way out and see you go first i could light the way up for you venture first into the void before us i'll be your canary bird i could take the punches for you make myself into a shelter over you i'll be your canary bird seasonal affective underneath the covers like hibernating brothers seven months of darkness tunnelling the gutters and holding out for summer and it goes on i'll be your canary we can fight the winter if we ration all the tinder canvas all the shutters and sing a little song and it goes like this i could keep the cold out for you be the lamp that stays alight all winter i'll be your canary bird i could taste the poison for you sing a siren song of safety to you i'll be your canary bird
