1.
homage to a late moon - the wandering moon always rises too soon all his friends wrap around while he skims the ground and when the light goes behind all of a sudden realise centrifugal we spread out like ants into all of the greener plants
2.
blackbox communications from a missing space station - someone strap that baby in pretty soon we'll spin i know you're tired i know you're out of light hi! i will ask you is he ok? and i know you're lying i know you're hiding from it
3.
deceased extra terrestrial research teams final broadcast. - real tough read up on your politics eat up give in to the endless buffet every word lined out in coffee they talk they walk in the toffee
4.
ode to a skillfull line dancer. - folding and happening over and over and fielding for a new try bolder and wrapped up in envy nobody can see me forward we hide step up a warm settled end now a weeping but final bow the end of the road believe me i'm inside the greenhouse and noone can see me noone but hey a person a whole entire person drifts right across into beyond
5.
an event on the open sea - come upstairs and have a conversation with me out of the dark and into the salt below the deck is where your thoughts hang out come to the sail come to the sun move
6.
lamenting on a violent dinner party - ornamental table rug puller able its true mind killing you don't get mad at me for falling after you sweep my feet its you like an infection you stick can't get you off me
7.
a witness statement from the scene of a coastal murder from the lighthouse i saw a man drop a body off and i tried to call anyone but the cable was cut off surely thought he'd be coming for me next i think that i was wrong the lights went out no ships could see me here chaos for you next minute i wake up all a dream what a surprise coulda sworn it was real for a minute there what im ashamed to admit is that i was happy when i knew it was finished what a fun way to go out
8.
a news anchor proves a point. - "the puppet is tired of dancing" "urges aide for depressed" "a deadly scoop" "a final silence" "a station first" christine has sent you a message bold straight and clear its written all over your business in crimson smear and after your shock subsided how you all turned elastic in your spirit just like she said you love it
