Burst and Bloom:

Sink to the Beat

The Great Decay

Tall Tales, Telltales

Mothership, Mothership, Do You Read Me?

Fairytales Tell Tales

Lyrics:

your navel is yearning for an extension - a ghost limb

it cant detach from mothers loving grasp

your starving - its burning for the nutrient it cant have

were all cut off alone and lost

calling out to homebase, do you read me?

(emergency: were floating endlessly)

transmission terminated

youve been created, severed from life and limb

stranded an infant

on the front step of the universe

infinitely searching for a warmth

once loved, now lost forever

mothership mothership do you read me?

does anyone hear my siren song?

maybe ill be rescued before too long

calling out to homebase one last time

(the signal faded out the ship is gone)

still starving for the reason

you were created

then severed from life and limb

stranded an infant

on the front step of the universe

infinitely searching for a warmth

once loved

now lost forever
