glass house
(hendrikse/douglas)
i live in a glass house for my own safety
its spacious and comfortable and it just suits me
the stones that i have are smooth and fast
i throw them at people as they walk past
my family cant get in - not even my wife
but that dont bother me - theyre not here for life
tinted so dark that no one sees me
sunrays break in when i take out the key
so dont look too close as you walk on past
i know how to aim and the pain will last
i dont care if they want to retaliate
‘cos the glass i use is strictly bulletproof plate
dont try to touch me
its not as easy as you think it is
dont try to touch me
its not as easy as you think
dont try to judge me
its not as easy as you think it is
dont try to judge me
its not as easy as you think
theres buildings and vaults and submarines and
creatures that hide in their shells in the sand
jumping on fringes of life so surreal
nothing to covet and nothing to steal
bleeding and sad its all the same to me
glass house anaesthesia, im painfree
my message is clear and you’ll catch on real fast
i call what i see and i catch with each cast
so dont waste my time and call me a liar
i speak only truth and it burns like greek fire
how do you tell whats hidden from life and light?
a good man keeps his enemies in plain sight

Present Past To Be

the present is the past to be
(hendrikse)
you have purchased my life
i have hurt for no cause
they were silent all those days
see the wrong that was done to me
the true are loving sometimes
but they kill those close you see
you can run
and I can hide
and live vicariously
should I scrape you off my shoe?
did you buy a ticket for the ride?
is there more that you can do
to make sure everyone is on your side?
do you live for the now?
or live in the now?
do you know how?
i dont know how
i can see that youre confused by everything I say
but thats the best that I can do
its one time at a day
im amazed that you still choose
to live your life this way
you can ride on my shoe but dont forget to pay
i go back and forth
in lifes rocking chair
this takes all my energy
but I still go nowhere
this has got to stop
but what more can I do?
apologise
make amends
and scrap you off my shoe

kerouac child
(hendrikse)
she was living the miracle
largely denied
blind to the inevitable
her god on her side
her one-life stand
her hands werent tied
we all stood and watched
her brain being fried
her brain being fried
her brain being fried
shes the kerouac child
mad to live
mad to talk
mad to slave
she never learns but she burn burn burns
a fiery flame
shes guiding the blind
her life was unholy
she lived in her grave
one divine loser
a corpus christi save
a corpus christi save
a corpus christi save
hey mum where ya been?
on montmartre hill?
the sacred heart sin?
your dissolution with contempt
engrossed in your in bones
youre waiting
youre waiting
youre waiting
wasted

my last line
(hendrikse/douglas)
the dust
the dust
judas
the sky is cream
and the ground is salt
my life is peppered
is full of tumult
im living on starving sidewalks
im sleeping in stagnant sickbeds
i needed enthusiasm
only losers win
i love my life when theres nothing else to love
where do I begin?
here for a lifetime
not a long time
feel the sting of lime
hear those church bells chime
this is my last line...
the dust
the dust
judas
just like the earl of greystoke
im learning a brand new way
and like the cathar treasure
you are lost to me
i needed enthusiasm
but where do I begin?
i love my wife when theres nothing else to love
where do I begin?
the dust
the dust
judas

a hair of the beard of the prophet
(hendrikse)
heart to heart
whole heart
sick mankind
have a heart
a heart of gold
deceit on its tongue
the heart of your mouth
poison on its lips
venom in its words
mankind is your god
heart and mind
your heartbreak
your heartbreak
your heartbreak
will be perfect
your heart will sink
your heart will sink
your heart will sink
in its grave
living on
living on
living on
in faiths grave
in faiths grave
you have the knowledge
you have the knowledge
you share the knowledge
he will rescue us
he has rescued us
he will rescue us
my moral sickness
my heart of stone
my heart of stone
i have a hair i have a hair
a hair of the prophet
of the prophet’s beard
(A living dog is better off than a dying lion)

I Love People

i love people
(hendrikse/goodinson)
i love people
but i cant get away from human nature
its their pettiness and insecurities
that ruin it for me
why are we so dishonest to ourselves?
what is the point?
you only deceive yourself
to most of us transparent like a piece of glass
sometimes opaque
they can still see the shadows moving behind
but i choose to ignore it
in the end it comes clear
just like looking through a window
its just like looking through a window
and i see i fooled myself
it was always there
but i ignored it
i chose not to look
i am fooled again
i love people
but i cant get away from human nature
its their pettiness and insecurities
that always
always
always
ruin it for me
i love people
not human nature
i love people
not human nature
i love people
not human nature
i love people
not human nature
i love people

pi
(hendrikse/douglas)
i perform my own lobotomy
kill the feelings that are plaguing me
with my drill and my 5ml bit
i know you watch me constantly
dont want me to damage me
with my drill and my 5ml bit
just like those before me
mortensen and kennedy
some were forced voluntarily
it’s a personal dichotomy
to desire emotional poverty
to climb anxietys pit
I perform my own lobotomy
kill the feelings that are plaguing me
with my drill and my 5ml bit
you think im mad i can see
destroy my self mentally
but you dont know the half of it
i perform my own lobotomy
as you take a sip of your green tea
with my drill and my 5ml bit
