Familiar though your face is
I don’t know who you are
I know nothing of your wishes made on shooting stars
We come from different places
We chased a dream this far
And I imagine we’re connected by isallobars
And now I see you through a filter
Beautiful and glowing silver
You’re unreachable, unknowable, my love transfigured
I used to think that I could know you
I spent a lifetime trying to show you
That I’m not so far below you
You’re my shooting star (the one I hope for, the one I wish for)
Shooting star
I watch you burn across the sky
With all my heart I wish tonight
I wish I may I wish I might
You are the wish I wish tonight
Shooting star

Under siege
Breaking down
Silence breeds
All around
In sublime fortitude
I'll see you now
In a strange Déjà vu
I'll take you now
Don't you fear me
I'm Broken
Words you can't see
Unspoken
You can take all of me
And more
Keep breathing
You can take all of me
And more
Keep beating
Hold on tight
Don't let go
Sip the night
Take it slow
Can't you hear me?
I'm Broken
Lost in daydreams
Unspoken
You can take all of me
And more
Keep breathing
You can take all of me
And more
Keep beating
Deceitful illusions
There's nowhere to hide
Conquer your demons
And let me inside
Don't you fear me
I'm Broken
Words you can't see
Unspoken
You can take all of me
And more
Keep breathing
You can take all of me
And more
Keep beating
You can take all of me
And more
Keep breathing
You can take all of me
And more
Keep beating

Every Single Lie
The tzippor strips
and you watch it
But it’s not yours
so let her fly
Want but don’t touch
An image in your clutch
But it’s just another lie
I’ve done you wrong
(this is not what you imagined)
But you survive
(severely lost and damaged)
We are not real
(the only way out)
Nothing to feel
(the only way out is through)
But all those lies
spoken:
i told you everything there is to know
and then i invented truths to sell my soul
from beginning to end
that was the ultimate goal
You were just you
(this is all that you imagined)
I turned screw
(hopelessly impassioned)
it opened up
(the only way out)
then i slid through
The tint has faded
and we're left jaded
Broken and empty
from every single lie

Sitting sipping cool mint tea
with the First Astronaut
in the decibel stream.
Under a Bedouin tent
on the edge
of the Sea of Tranquility.
Planets wheeling quietly
overhead.
Heavy light streams
thru thick gravity.
Been living life
near an explosive device,
the orbiter’s mind’s a
troubled tangled paradise.
Don’t let go of your hose.

Caught in a dream-memory,
looped a long lifetime ago.
Windows open on airplanes
flying too low.
Looped, flipped ‘round again
and round you go ..
in slo-mo the nights drone
and drain into another dead zone.
Dying Faces lose their glow.
It’s broken gotta let go.
Confusion is the hole.
What’s next is unknown.
You gotta let the bones roll
before the hours go.
Where did the hours go?
Looped around one more go.
Looped a long lifetime ago.
Where did the hours go?

And here we are again against the wall.
It's just the two of us.
The two of us.
Holding hands as we begin to fall
It's just the two of us.
The two of us.

Hide yourself from the line of fire
The closing of the chapter from desire
Distorted don’t know where to belong
Something plays inside me like a song
Desperate for acceleration
And Mystical for manipulation
I Woke up in the asylum
With nothing left to hear
I Crawled up from the bottom with
Nothing left to fear
I have nothing, nothing left to give
You wanted something, something from within
I have nothing, nothing left to hide
I stand for something when I need to choose a side
Try to run, got to go farther
hide from you, trip and I stumble
stagger and fall
we stagger and fall
Try to run, got to go farther
hide from you, trip and I stumble
stagger and fall
we stagger and fall
I’m just trying to hang on while the world keeps spinnin
I’m just trying to believe while we all keep sinnin
She wanted gold, and silver for a day
But came from nowhere and nothing left to pay
praying naked, cold and in the rain
To the same god that left her lying there in pain
Blow you mind with a million little pieces
Thread the needle as the lie increases
Poetic justice taken to the Exteme
The search for answers is never what it seems
I have nothing, nothing left to give
You wanted something, something from within
I have nothing, nothing left to hide
I stand for something when I need to choose a side
I’m just trying to hang on while the world keeps spinning
I’m just trying to believe while we all keep sinning
Stagger and Fall, We Stagger and Fall
Stagger and Fall, We Stagger and Fall

I pool-gazed too long,
admired my plumes all night
I flew too close to the power lines.
I foundered in black cables, entangled in dream snares darkly reversed, halo'd in electric blue-white snap.
.
.
Air sang.
Cordite scent drifted.
Wings broke and ripped out from my shoulders.
.
.
Now I walk.
My back oily with blood, my K-Armature shell cracked, exposed to the elements.
.
.
Beauty is hubris.

Song of Regret
grief is my souvenir from childhood's yesteryear
the time i spent on you although you never asked me to
again and again, i crashed and burned
you always taught but i never learned
i killed myself for you
you haunted me, i sang for you
a song of regret
a song of regret
for my love- my love
i think it's over now
i am still here somehow
the silence and the chill
i feel them now even still
hours spent down on my knees, dying slowly by degrees
and bleeding out for you
it's over now
a song of regret for love
a song of regret for love
i think it's over now and i have been set free
to focus on the emptiness left inside of me
i think it's over now but i have been set free
grief is the souvenir of your malignancy

I don't move around much,
much any more.
Shuffle through maps and photographs
on the floor.
I don't get out much any more.
Berlin, London, New York, Tokyo.
Bright snapshots of the things I used to know. I used to know.
Dawn breaks.
Seagull and cafe.
Crumpled edges start to fade.
Laughing at it all,
now I’m staring at the wall.
What's in store
is scattered on the floor.
(not out the door)
I don't move around much any more.

Sometimes the world can be unkind
You can stand up or run and hide
And nothing stays the same, like yesterday
No nothing stays the same, this will remain
Let go of all the tears you've cried
You are as strong as you decide
And nothing stays the same, like yesterday
Though nothing stays the same, this will remain
Time to tell your fears goodbye
Show me the star that burns inside
It's not the same today, like yesterday
And then the rain turns Pearldrop Blue

Nothing short of a brilliant rethinking of an already exceptional album. From start to finish, my first listen of the album tracks (1-26 of the total 37) had the hair standing up on my neck and my arms tingling with goose bumps. Playing this compilation was like hearing “The Wall” for the first time again with fresh ears. Dogtablet’s version of “Mother” is absolutely bone-chilling, but every track is a gem paying proper tribute to the source while bringing it into the 21st Century.
