Movement One

you’re not the first to feel this way
and you won’t be the last
but you’ll feel like this every day
until the moment’s passed
you’ll never let it go as long as
you control it right
and you’ll crawl into bed regretful
every single night
nothing takes to fight it
no mistakes to right it
only realign yourself
with the troubles that you’ve made
nothing stands to lose it
no reason to choose it
losing guard to movement
losing god to movement
losing all
stands in our way
an obstacle to be opposed
a broken law to be upheld
an object to be held
and to beholden
to begotten
one not forgotten by
by love
by time
by pain
it’s like you can almost see it
like you can almost feel it
but you never can you never will
a touching display
of heartfelt affection (of heartstrung battlefield)
of constant self-affliction (a bloody canvas painted where)
movement won

watch me love soft smoothly
love slowly for you, oh
watch me blind light through me
light through me for you, oh
oh I could watch you sleep
forever forever
oh I could watch you dream
forever forever
wait for me I’ll beg you
I’ll wait for you I know
wait for light I’ll love you
I’ll wait for you I know
please let me in your dreams
forever forever
please let me in your dreams
forever forever

there’s an effigy that looks like me
floating above the wading pool
it’s stained with teenage blood
and charred remnants of an old high school
waits for the copper flood
a blinking red light starts calling numbers
I look at the cards I’ve been dealt
know my time’s a long way away
crawl back into my shell
I’ve been having trouble in bed
nights keep getting longer and longer
you spend a third of your life sleeping
if I chip it away will I get stronger?
patience short, cards folded
supplies are limited
and I’m awake all day and night
demand better answers for this
as if I’m tested and nothing’s shown up right
force me to face the light

The Future, It Looms
03:06

can’t find a spot to land
to gain the upper hand
if not I’ll soon be canned
it’s as if it’s been planned
for all the flames be fanned
and all reviews be panned
how and where I fly
to reach the open sky
where I may surely die
future’s much too high
stay grounded for a while
fake with an empty smile
the future looking out for me, I wish it would
bad decision prevention, I wish I could
just make it matter for a bit, I guess I should
just give one shit for a second
I wish I could disappear like that
into my witch’s hat
fly like a witch’s bat
into the magic that
could reshape all my wrongs
write accessible songs
to make them dance and sing
just like everything
everything I don’t touch
sometimes it’s just too much
avoid the golden touch
above the golden touch
the future, it looms

I know I’ve been struggling
I know I’ll make it out
I’m taking it day by day
every little step of the way
sometimes I’m close to giving up
resigning myself to a wall decoration
feel my form devolve into
abstract designs
into
two shapes
one on the left side craving death
two shapes
one on the right side hoping I’ll stay
a well-crafted game I’m not skilled enough to play
both in arm’s reach of a punch in the gut
but too far away to land it
you knows it feels fucked
I spend all my free time worrying
feeling like I should be hurrying
every week feels like a day
every little step of the way
lights off at 4 lights on at 10
don’t know how I’ll make it through again
in need of something to say
every night my dreams display
two shapes
one on the left side craving death
two shapes
one on the right side hoping I’ll stay
but never coming up with a refreshing way
to convince me to be out there, avoiding retreat
while I’m content here, collecting defeat
I know it’s better if I ask
but why should I be put to the task?
it’s not like we have much left of these days
every little step of the way

This is a great album. Kinda like if Guided By Voices used GarageBand instead of a 4-track.

Ten years may have passed since the last Bellini record, but the math rock group sound as fierce as ever.

The enigmatic Frank Ene's solo record lives in a magical world where Serge Gainsbourg fronts Yellow Magic Orchestra.
