Brycen Doby I love this record because it was made by a bunch of wankers, true wanks in their own right, and they wank together all day and all night. If you ever wanted to fight, they'd have a wank instead, because one punch would kill you if it came from their right hands. Wankwankwankwankwankwank,
Wank-ewank-ewank.

1.
I'm a bottom-feeder / My home is among the plumes Trapped within my carapace Trapped within the home I've made / Tired of this ocean A thousand atmospheres of ocean Let me wander beyond the hot black smoke / I will travel A thought trickles down / A thought trickles out I’m a bottom feeder / My home is among the plumes I refuse to stay here / Like the ten thousand before me I am hopeful / I shall see roads untraveled Leave the chimney stacks behind I will travel / I will walk and wade and swim to the sun I will claw my way up and out / I refuse to stay Leave the chimney stacks behind And walk through strands of twisting light Shimmering surface / Strands of twisting light

Chaos 05:22
Breath, sweet breath / Searing light I’m standing in Standing on the sand / Standing, blaring lights on my back Highlights my constriction, malformation Too small, let me up and out / I’m bubbling, I’m boiling My armour constricts, break it off / Smash this porcelain Throw myself upon the rocks to score myself open Claw myself from this tired exoskeleton I am the first of ten thousand, ten billion Unfurling, teething / Screaming, bursting anew Growing, lifting myself up from the steaming ocean I stand on untraveled road / Squinting at a setting sun and sand A green mirage / A forest, I run Colours running, blurring into trees / I dance Dancing, swirling, colours run / Hopeful I reflect / I know the ocean waits Breathe, breathe deeply / Twisting light / Sleep deeply Sleep amongst the blades while distant chimneys sway Breathe deeply / Sleep deeply / I dream I dream I’m not a bottom feeder
3.
Awake, the smell of smoke creeps in Crackling fire, cracking porcelain / Spitting sap, splitting wood Searing flames, black smoke from the forest What used to be a forest / What have I done Lost / Lost how Lost how did this / Lost how did this happen Broken porcelain / Shards, hanging stars in molten glass Through embers, I wade I wade through the boiling mud / I wait for change / Searing grey Porcelain shards, boiled glass, and ash / Afraid Twisting plumes, glowing embers / Black mud, pouring rain I reflect, I know the ocean waits On the surface, chimneys sway Pull yourself together / Pull yourself away
4.
Tired of this sand and sunlight / They’ve blasted my eyes To blindness, darkness, crystal clarity Now I know how to be better off / Just see Clouds occlude my face / The waves erase my footsteps In the dead of night, I prepare the vessel that will / Take me to rest Let me slide / It doesn’t hurt a bit The moon trickles out, trickles down, trickles in It shimmers far above me as I swim
5.
Transient 05:44
I refuse / To return to the road I've travelled Too proud to walk / But I'm too tired to wade I'm flotsam / I'm toxic jettisoned waste Drifting, floating / Dragging myself through this timescape Broken porcelain / Billowing plumes of smoke Floating / Drifting / Swirling / Seething Walking / Wading / Drowning / Breathing I refuse to swim / Return to the road I've traveled Too tired to wade into waters tamed / Made grey by apathy I’m flotsam Homeless/ Llifeless / Lustless / Listless Lost / Bound to the broken state Bound to the broken state / I wait, I wander, I wait Floating / Drifting / Swirling / Seething Walking / Wading / Drowning / Breathing Just jettisoned waste / Lost
