Neurotransmissions - Amplified Thought Chemistry (demo)
1. Aeon in Cinders
Words by Kvohst
Washed in weeping
Aeons of ashes
Pull a curtain
Across the sky
Cadavers crawling
Like creatures intrigued
Living like fossils
In pools of kerosene
Getting to know well
The geology of hell
Mapping the porous moon-
Leprous dermis of life
Terror and dread
Sick to the teeth
Perish the thought
Die or dream
Set it all ablaze
Set the world in flames
2. Radium
Words by Kvohst
Devoured heavens that haul the shores of my thought
In the empire of night I’m a victim of an audible heart
The building’s nuclear gleam
Cruel houses of lost prayers
In temples of a nervous breakdown
I tread the boards of a dream
I kiss the mouths of dust
Radium
A spiral of human continuum
Radium
Occurs in the alkaline of imagination
Radium
Radium
The corrugated emptiness of magnetic lonely locusts
That catch my breath
Like daydreams of chattering aspens
At an opulent hospice
We’ll nurse our hearts
From the fallout of sunsets
Radium
A spiral of human continuum
Radium
Occurs in the alkaline of imagination
Radium
Radium
Sometimes startled by our own darkness
Death has neither an end or a beginning
I must be dreaming, because I need myths and sickness…
A father must feather his followers and feelings…to manu-
facture and create nuclear fusion in the minds or radiation therapists
I can’t think anymore
I can’t dream anymore
I can’t love (you) anymore
3. A Cloud Formed Teardrop Asylum
Words by Kvohst
Tired souls hunched in familiar bricks
Drowned in sleeping sickness silver skeleton palace of mist
Heart-shaped carnival of sores locked up in cupboard doors
Looking up at the starry sky won’t make your scarred life
Light up bright
A thirst for questions have their black reply --
Hide in cloud-mouthed skyscraper
Haven for no thoughts but mine
A muscular memory of February
When proud absence left me
(We are alone amongst millions…)
Subway stations filled with forced equations for my earth to burst
The retina is so hungry I could eat a hearse
Peeling adverts perfumed with roman numerals
As we shuffle off to our jobs like funerals
Drawn by wounds to the throat of ghosts
(We) lost our way back to the vault of youth
Codes forged in my minerals when the earth grew old
Love’s labours lost back when lives for lies were sold (our lives were sold)
Kodak coloured souvenirs
From a furnished furnace of fears
For learning to be mad
Is the poverty of happiness
And I know that it is clear
That I’m not here
In this cloud-formed invisible asylum of tears
I am ready to face my fears
As my consciousness disappears
To the internal sanctuary of seers
Where the clouds last for years & years
“I placed a blue death mask there in my book of hours
that those who dream of an earthly paradise may read it as men”
4. Pollen of Black Plume
5. Ghost Formula
Words by Kvohst
Heaven-sent sunset red
Spin in the evening under the windowsill
Hawthorn valley floor
Rain beaded grass
Soft breath, motionless and wet
Empty jaws of the rivers maw
A backwards memory
Like Arabic writing
Tears of diamonds
Vanish into the gardens
I remember once when I was young
Something was wrong
Under an old fence
The unlit labyrinth of nonsense
Unformed nouns and vowels
Drip into the floor
Like insects from the nest of my skull
The light looked different in those days
As if an idea could imagine for itself
And in the afternoon
We all took off our skin
And set sail for Neptune
Using our flesh for a sail
The drizzle of wheels in the heat
Summer is the cruelest city of deceit
That pains that you claim will reclaim you
That gains that you gain will regain you
I’m making ghosts out of clay
To scare my past away
