Discipline
06:55

A million chances have passed
While I've been sitting at home
Coffee in vase
Reclusively chaste
The laser beam of mind
Is focused so clearly on attacking on time
I've lost mankind
It's in times that I've missed
When I question my self-discipline
Dancing with you lips to lips
The reward for my self-discipline
Please don't take any offense
When I tell you I'm too scattered for a romance
It's not pretense
I'm making nervous mistakes
I keep on running, disconnected the brakes
How high the stakes
But when I pause for recess
Self-assured that you will be the one I address
Expecting excess
I bring you out to the floor
Pressed against my chest
As we are pushing pushing pushing pushing pushing for more
If I told you to never make a sound
Would you let me gag your mouth as you pump adrenaline?
If you need me to stop your run aground
Would you listen to me now that I've got your discipline?
If I treated you just a little worse
Would you admit it turned you on as I broke your porcelain?
If I proved to you that you're quite perverse
Maybe then all your love and hunger would drive your discipline

Can't Sleep

I can't sleep as well at night
Oh no
Without you calling to make right
Mmm hmm
So many pretty girls to choose
Oh yeah
How come I'm getting stuck on you?
Mmm mmm
A million beetles crawl my legs
Ooh ooh
Making inciscions with their heads
Wow wow
But I can't pay them any heed
My pelvis has needs
We're gonna shake it with some gusto 'till we bleat
I can't sleep when I'm on fire
Oh no
My body burning with desire
Mmm hmm
So many particles imbued
Oh yeah
How they're concerned is nothing new
Mmm mmm
The cats are scratching at my sleeves
Ooh ooh
Insist on drawing blood to leave
Wow wow
But I can't give them any milk
My furnace is built
I'm gonna roast them to a crisp before it's spilt

Perfection and Grace
04:51

Please
I've been suspecting unease
There's a change coming on the breeze
We're stuck out on the high seas
We keep on battling
Come on
I'm searching through all the muck
High and low without luck
I'm sick to my stomach
Because I'm looking for
A perfect place in time where my body is in motion
With pure heart and devotion
Oh it must exist
My baby baby baby
You're thinking of my safety
But all I'm striving lately
Is for immortality
Heaven save us from our own bad hands
With perfection and grace through to the bitter end
Science save us from the bitter end
With perfection and grace we will meet again

Richard Haig recommends:
Stunningly beautiful album. Eclectic, surprising, and challenging without ever being overly difficult to grasp. Moments sound like Arvo Pärt meets Lorenzo Senni. My favorite release in recent memory.
