Blatherskite Complication lyrics

Dial tone beats a steady mantra at me
No transmission or message received
Engaged unlisted no connection for me
Of a purpose I have no memory now
I'm tired mother and there's nothing to see
Meaningless, flesh novelties
My Grip is slipping, there is nothing to be
There is only this silence in me...

Such clever words within attire
Frantic slaves
With gilded skin, a glowing screen
Identity
The veil is this. Behind it lies
Emperor's
Wages for sin

Frantic slaves'
Wages for skin
Frantic slaves'
Pages worn thin
Frantic slaves'
Wages forced in
Frantic slaves'
Wages for skin

All I hear…
Their jaded words from empty space
All I taste
Is ashes from a long dead pyre
All I am
My naked need and numb desire
All I see
Reflections with no source

Dialling beats inane mantra at me

Murmurs of a worn divinity
Dial tone beats a blue mantra at me
Murmurs of a blind reality

Automatons tell us what we have seen
Damned machine watches all the strings

Drown the pulsing noise smothering me
Denied the will and the majesty
Drown the murmurs from a falling me
Through sky and into sea

Destination is a way unknown
Destination is a dream of home
I recognise

Not a cipher on a screen
Not another strangled dream
Not asleep and I cannot pretend
That I'll lie down again

I must tear a way out and through you
I must not lie in fear of coming dreams

Light grows large, or am I smaller?
Walls flash, travelling down the line
To something screaming
Daddy please kill me I'm dreaming

Light and sound waves drown, and it's alright…

I stand and fade
Where the wasteland ends
