From the recording Hubris
Lyrics
Awaken in cold sweat upon zero day to the bay of the slavering bells
Retuning binaural receptors, detecting a voice offer choice
A break in the mould, set up, gone a weird way makes the brain envy hermit crabs out of their shells
As each edgy cell writhes and screams that there must be more
Box gelatine piscine, don goggles and gloves,
The mind boggles to find it divining the force of the source
Begin true existence and twist in the wind, unhindered by pins pointing into thin skin
Ten steps from the end, sever tendrils and weather the storm that informs such a wayward course
Adrift among currents of unmeasured air
Thus I must answer the call of the wild
And roam far away from the land that of late I've reviled
I yearn to unlearn all the words I've been taught and return to first principles,
Hungry and thirsty and cold
Secede from the species and voyage to places where nothing that glitters is gold
Spurning all trenchant thought, burning all I have bought from the liars and killers and thieves
Who would have you believe that you ought to grieve for the unique release that you have sought
To them you are sport, to them you are sport
Thus I must answer the call of the wild
And go far away from the land they've befouled and defiled
Retraining a cranial link in the chain, reaffirming a right gained at birth
Reviving the worth of survival, a rebirth of striving to thrive in the earth
Bewildering wilderness mimicry kicks picks and licks as the pink picnics bleed
Taking a brain off a hook, adhesed to the trees and proceed to recede
With everything I need, with everything I need.
