Animal Life-Shearwater

[00:12.93]Born inside the gates of a family [00:15.91]Hardened by a Roman machinery [00:19.11]Cast among the building sites [00:22.31]The coiling wires the shots collected [00:25.83]Called out in the wake of a lottery [00:28.96]Held inside the family gathering [00:32.34]Mirrored beams and dog-like stretch [00:35.39]A wandering association [00:38.92]Murmurs in the dark confessional [00:44.31]And rides along the road ephemeral [00:49.16]As an animal life [00:57.06]Rusting in the shade of the batteries [01:00.29]Hanging from a rope in the gallery [01:03.56]Pacing down the balance beam [01:06.56]Of half-remembered holidays [01:09.74]No rush of light no sign of belonging [01:13.33]No joy in building love in the finishing [01:16.65]Chasing down an anodyne [01:19.80]And half-reflected radiance [01:23.00]To hide below the ancient barricade [01:28.63]In chambers like the rooms a swallow made [01:33.51]For an animal life [01:37.19] [01:59.56]Charging down the maw of the ocean [02:02.65]I want to come close I want to come closer [02:06.10]I held your name inside my mouth [02:08.98]Through all the days out wandering [02:12.22]But called up from the mouth of oblivion [02:15.79]Cast away like dogs from the shelter [02:19.12]I shed the dulling armor plates [02:22.17]That once collected radiance [02:25.28]And surging at the blood's perimeter [02:31.19]The half-remembered wild interior [02:36.15]Of an animal life [02:41.10]
