Earth-soak in Succumbing

Zebba Whitsen:

This is relinquishment
Generated an oblique percent
My rapid rivers running

From the sky
Past my window
Finally earth-soak in succumbing

I Was a True Infant

The StarFlower:

I was a true infant
Placenta the infinite
Strained in distant

Make a Sudden Whimper

Parsven Undertoad:

Make me out
For another doubt
I'm not done

No
Not yet
I have still got some debts

Lollygag Brutus:

There is a tree with a tunnel
Underneath its trunk
If you go there the sun will shrink away
And your pocket-watch will have shrunk

Zebba Whitsen:

Gobs of gooey sugar blobs
They don't eat out at the fast food places
They just take it to the hip street races

I think they might want to reconsider
All things concerning the outward appearance
'Cause inside

They might hide
A new sort of carnival ride
Where we can all decide how to live our lives

The Memory Holder:

Temper, temper
Never let a widow goose
Make a sudden whimper

Without your mind you are merely limping limbs
Do you mind if I dust off these microscopic gems?

Perpetuate

The StarFlower:

Help this lad for he is puzzled
Many of his masks look like his face is troubled
Is he terribly held captive by his own emotions?

Should he plead his case with a jury of himself
In the court of the serene?

Zebba Whitsen:

How am I supposed to find myself?
I'm trying desperately to hide from myself

The StarFlower:

Perpetuate
It perpetuates
Yet man cannot breathe life into and thus create

Itself
Perpetuating the cycle of man
Increasing in nature

Developing culture
Industrializing nations and mass-producing
Sensationalizing headlines

Young lad, it is time for beddy-bye

The Memory Holder:

Where
Where do you go when you sleep?
Do you dream?

Or do you dream a false dream?
Of lying awake in bed
Rubbing your eyes until they are red

Are you asleep yet, kid?
Is it your nighttime fears you just cannot be rid?
He says he is not so sure about energy so pure

He would rather think it over
But it could be over the longer he thinks
Everything so precious, gone in a wink

The StarFlower:

Waking up from newly implanted dreams
Everything is not exactly what it seems

The Memory Holder:

Have all of yesterday's thoughts been retrieved?
So again they may be reused
For we would not want the lad to be relieved

Vestaisiax:

They are zeroing in on all of your fears
They are crunching numbers
And turning your fierce gears

The Memory Holder:

Soon you will be just fine
Lad, I think you will have a wonderful mind
Yes, you came to the right place

Where zeroing in on the fears you try to escape
Is the name of my game

The Wax Galaxy

The StarFlower:

Here is the new galaxy:

Grass jumpers on a stealth parade
Wax dummies coming to life
Ready to finagle the frightened senoritas

And steal their Spanish dialect

Parsven Undertoad:

Don't be surprised if a wax dummy
Were to come up beside you
And whisper sweet nothings in your ear

While adversely trying to suffocate
Your knowingness of stability
To make your reality as his

To make your reality turn to wax

Sure Glimpse

Zebba Whitsen:

I spit my lip and
See it drip the bit of the
Cosmic ships sure glimpse

Memory Folk

Zebba Whitsen:

We have come to find the man
Who holds the memory to our lives
The key is in his mind

Lollygag Brutus:

The key is in his memory
Without our memories
We are like sailors lost to the sea

Sally Astronomicle:

We shall find this man
Who has our thoughts locked up
He has own personal spaceship

That is where we will look
And we will find our minds that he took

Vestaisiax:

The flames of anger
Against the Holder have been stoked
In the fire of lost knowledge
He will have to cope with memory folk

Just Where We Are

Zebba Whitsen:

Driving down the road
Daylight shines across the windshield
The faces that you goad
Are looking at us like we're not real

I think you know just where we are
It's a stumbling step
To where the spaceship is kept
Can we make it there that far?

And once we make it to the foreign island
Will we understand the native tongue
Or will we have to run?

Parsven Undertoad:

You may have learned
A new kernel of wisdom
But don't think

I can't take you down
The rest of your memory
May never be found

Zebba Whitsen:

My mind!

Zebbe Whitsen:

Your mind?

Swimming in Twilight Currents

Zebbe Whitsen:

O the amethyst prince
How his eyes do wince
To see your desperate retrieval
Of lost memories in time's suspense

The Memory Holder:

I implore this
O this
Enigmatic night

Sally Astronomicle:

Scattered in the
Wilderness of your mind
Are our lost memories

The ones
You have unfairly
Hid from us

The Memory Holder:

Am I not to be a puzzled merchant of sorts?
Selling back your minds that you say I've stolen
So that your minds are my minds
Could be your minds once again

We're Turning Ourselves Into the Night

Sally Astronomicle:

Medieval laughter echoes all around
You give me something
You in your castle

When you turn on the film projector
I can see so many images yet they do not appear
So clear

I looked into the eye
Of the terrible guy
He made me tremble in fear

You know what I saw
When I stared in awe
At the portrait of the man of law?
A scarecrow made of straw

Zebba Whitsen:

You make me live into the moon
I'll jump into the pruned blooms
Your my darling of the twilight

I can only see you through glimpses of starlight
We're turning ourselves in
We're turning ourselves into the night

Parsven Undertoad:

Do you know what happens to people like us?
We get put on the one-way ticket subconscious bus

We get a ride
Passing the green hills by
We can't even look at the sky behind

Vestaisiax:

Weirded out
Out of this time
Unheard of on this spatial tide

Dropped off the face of this place
Never heard from again
None of the galaxy's highway men

Invading My Mental Facilities

Zebba Whitsen:

I know what I know
And white wings are flapping so slow
Why don't you just let us all go?

Let us have our minds
We will be fine
If you let our lives unwind

Do you work
Under benevolent pretenses?
I want to know for my own defenses

Lollygag Brutus:

Maybe he's an entity all to himself
Maybe he doesn't work for anyone else
The sky eat him up!

Pigs fly on his nasal hair!
He's coming near you, Zebba
Don't let him get to you, be aware

The Memory Holder:

You're very lively without the full capabilities of your minds
I think I shall keep you this way
You may never know who I really am

But I will tell you who you are today
It is you who work under benevolent pretenses
You really have no defenses

You're defenseless and senseless
I'm going to give you the chance to change sides
But never will I give you back your artificial minds

Sally Astronomicle:

Can it be?

Lollygag Brutus:

We're not so free?

Zebba Whitsen:

Truly, can it be?

The Memory Holder:

Man, you must see!
Look what he has done to you
That's why I have come to you

This is an hour of need
When you must escape the StarFlower's greed
He is after all of your mind's power

The StarFlower:

So you have made
A case against me
You have told them

That they did not see
You are invading my mental facilities
So that I cannot receive all of what they communicate

The Memory Holder:

Do you really want
To attract my attention?
Do you really want

To attack your
Powers of retention?
Do you?

My mind
Is infused
Into you”

Zebbe Whitsen:

Infusion
Is an illusion
I'm the generic twin of

Space explorer men
Minds downsize
You're holding on to

Something that does
Not belong to you”

Parsven Undertoad:

"I will eliminate this threat
Step on up and place your bets
Because if there is one thing

The Holder cannot stand
It is a mind it cannot understand
So think one last thought and

Unrivaled Dreams

Zebba Whitsen:

On a day like today
There are too many ostrich-locks
In the garden of incredulous thought

Let's be honest
There was once a man
Who had tin pans

And he gave all of his
Gold dust to the snake men
Of the unreal sands

What was my neutral reaction
But to be a shadow, sign, sun

Bike rack has no occupants
Seed by foot
Decry baron crooks

I will not let you take away
The pockmarked beauty of walkways
And there will be great clouds of tiny

Bugs which astound us with shiny
Exploits of wings, things,
And unrivaled dreams
