DEATH OF A GALAXY (Cashew Body 2017)

Death of a Galaxy 

Released March 2017

This album is about how it feels to be a mall, and how a mall would feel if it were a person. This album is a letter to the galaxy about insanity, society and wishes. This album isn't fair, and it's one of the most important things I have done. 

Glass boat

Crooked cracked, lines in hands

Holding on to what you have

It takes some to make some, everything you think is sad

She left home when she was young

And slept in a glass factory

Day by day and month by month

She made a boat for you and me

A glass boat

Made of glass and photographs

They pushed it out to sea

A glass museum boat out there

Is where she lived where she will be

Slept against the cold glass floor

Watching fishes all night long

She looked for monsters in the boat

She sent him home and sang this song

“I won't be there when you need me

I'll be caught inside my net

I can't be trusted for the big things

I wish you'd treat me as a pet”

Animals

Days and days of holding my head

Wishing that my house was a bed

Cleaning out my mind is hard

I'm living like an animal today

I want you to walk down to the store with me

I might lend you a way that you can see

Forget this day when i say so

I'm nothing interesting any more

If only i could wear these clothes again

Sit on top of an upside down bin

And clap my hands like an animal

And don't look down and never fall

Dust storms in the bear enclosure

Squinty eyes and dirty coats

Big box full of mammoth cakes

Dinosaurs swimming in these lakes

Step down from this, it hurts far too much

Walk into a shop with lots of clocks

Fix it all up with magic words

And pretend that me and you are extinct birds

Snake ladder

Why did you break today

When yesterday was so far away

All the animals saw what i did

Can you please fill out this form

I like you and the tiger tails

Falling from trees like jesus wood

You seem to have gone away

Staring at me in my head

There's a clubhouse that we built

In a tree out there

All the snakes will protect us

So we don't need no clothes

Fingers wrapped around all of this

And lakes filled with monster tears

Someone stole your mind today

All these things are packed away

Thank you for the dance tonight

This basement doesn't feel quite right

Your heart talks to my pharmacist

Convince me to brick up this hole.

Teeth

Teeth teeth teeth teeth

I got teeth inside my brain

Fight with, fight me

I'm gonna leave cuz i can't stay

Long fingers in my ears

Picking out these teeth to sell

A million dollars worth of teeth

A million years of hell

Biting down inside this head

Feet are moving fast today gloves with fingers all cut off

Giving up on what you say

Werewolf brain attached to me

Killing all these memories

We pile inside an old man's car

And none of us have any keys

Teeth are on the floor again

and put in drawers and in my eyes

and spike this fist and wrap me up

and sleep a million million days

Talk to Ghosts

You are going to be okay one day

Though I’ll let you know, not for a while

You're crashing through things thinking you're right

You want everyone every night

It's okay to get so sentimental

The things you do are that important

Hold every hand that comes near you

Write it all down your mind will fade

I wish you could open your eyes up quicker

She'll stay your friend forever you know

When you get punched in the face for being you

Thank this world instead of falling down

Light these things you see on fire

It's funny plus it says something

Drink as much as you can now

In the end they all drink me

Fists are bloody and full of answers

Cleaning up a china doll

Face the wall and talk to ghosts

And wake up in a shopping mall

Giraffe Attack

This wasn't worth writing about
This isn't worth speaking about

Jumping on and off of moving trains

People experimenting on my brains

Pulling into someone's Town

Falling off of someone's list

Hide in the tent with circus clowns

Hide my wrists and hide my fists

Stepped on by a giraffe's foot

and looked inside the hole in me

pulling out the things in me

and pushed me out to the sea

The long blue tongue was cleaning me

Make me what I shouldn't be

And pulled out all the grates with fishes

And pushed out every person's wishes

Sleep under this train tonight

With my digital watch to give me light

And read up on your history

And learn how to escape from me

Zero power

It's completely selfish to be afraid

When he's actually killing someone else

The only thing you're able to do

Is listen to the noise and walk it off

The only thing you can actually do

Is avoid the world and sit and wish

And wishes never helped before

And who will listen who is there?

He's never been around before

He left this town a long time ago

And you have absolutely zero power

To save anyone and to save yourself

And you have absolutely zero power

So what's the point of going on

And hiding in the basement now

If only you could talk today

If there was something you could say

It's howling like the blood in my veins

We all leave on a million trains

And you have absolutely zero power

To save anyone and to save yourself

And you have absolutely zero power

So you might as well just go on.

Evening rotation

I think I'll be reaching soon

For something to make this stop

I can't speak at all

I need to feel something here

You might close your eyes

and see us sitting there

a gift from another world
Clipping off splitting hairs

She might pay for me

When I am what I always am

I might pay for this

When I am what I always am

Living in too many times

I both hate and love my sleep

With your back against me

I tied together every piece

Stepping into your place of work

And strapping on your face at work

And holding back your every word

And holding on to something wrong

Something is living

Walk through this with naked feet

Through the snow and through the heat

Something lives in these trees

And something died inside of me

Don't drink this water

It will make you ill

Don't hear these warnings

Don't take these pills

And climb up this hill

And breathe and scream again

And bottles by the train tracks

We'll never talk again

Something inside your hands

Tells me that you finished

And walked away from this

And walked into the trees

something at the top

the babies at your feet

Spinning in the forest

Someone I need to meet

Spinning in the forest

Someone I need to eat.

Shoes are south

Why don't you walk with me for days

Through city streets to meet yourself

And shoes with holes under the toes

And every things about your health

And stay away from me today

My tongue is made from some snakes

you'll be beaten down beside a train

That wants to take my fears away

The boxes stacked up in the basement

Are filled with toys and maps to you

I wish I could cut out my mouth

And pack it up with both your shoes

There's something out there Beyond the city

That cannot be a real thing

It's far too real to exist

I've given up on everything

Where is she

we've been looking hard

And believing in these lies again

I miss her and her lizard friends

The world is far too big today

Midnight Madness

This is what the sugar did

It made us need to come back home

We walked inside the parachute

And sat down until the parents came

Hold my hand I can't ask you

To walk in Step beside the shop

Making stories up with you

From your bottom to your top

Travel past this spider who

Has perched on top a blade of grass

He's a lookout for this place

I'm a lookout for your arse

Lying on a pavement

And I'm lying on this pavement

I think that you should tell me

About all the mail that you sent

Living in a man-made bubble

Two-way mirrors and rats

Silicon science projects

And Midnight Madness brats.

Abandoned stomp

I walked with my big boy boot

And stomped on the people

I thought they had some guns on me

I thought they could save me

I stomped on a homemade doll

I stomped on a raccoon

I stomped on a TV show

I tied up and captured you

She hangs meat up

In the living room

Wait to see

If it will dry

The dogs

From around the neighbourhood

Circle me and

Catch these flies

Zip myself up

In a sleeping bag

And watch the TV

In my mind

Sometimes when we meet up

I say a prayer and fall asleep

Pile of rocks in the bedroom

Made up stories that you can keep

Small man in a department store

Wandering around inside my mind

Wonderful life is so predictable

I can't help but stay alive

I got a message for the young people

I gotta tell it to them tonight

I got the same message for the old people

You've gotta meet me somewhere tonight

abandoned Street, abandoned Cinema,

abandoned house inside my mind,

abandoned car in an abandoned lot

A band of people follow me here

Listen People I am lying

I'm the man you want to be

I am lying to your mother's

To make them want to be with me

The upgrade

This walk is wrong

A million walks

And this is wrong

Where the hell are we

What is this place

I've been here before

But what is this place

Anything associated

Has fallen to the ground

Kicking through this mess

Whenever I'm around

What once was just a house

Has now become a city

Everything should be better

But everything is kind of shitty

I scratched a name

Onto this wall

I found a phone

So I could call

They made this for someone

Someone who isn't me

In my mind I'm sitting

And watching the TV

Work and buy and work and buy

I'm inside this machine

All these people I'm around

I want to make me clean

I know that I can't drive

This walk will have to happen

The shortcut sliced my mother

Down to something she could see

And off there in the distance

I see them coming down

Landing on this Relic

Of someone else's town

Steam Street

Down on Steam Street

The Frogman shakes

Listening to the footsteps

Behind These Gates

He's a beast

A nowhere nothing

Clipping out stories

He knows it's coming

And the kids all down there

All know about it

And No One Believes

When they shout it

And there he sits

Shaking in his shoes

And even he knows

It's all bad news

Down on Steam Street

That kid is helpless

Trapped inside this

He can't escape this

What kind of a monster

Is this kind of monster

He's probably just a monster

Who was eaten by monsters

I'm trying to walk this off

And my shoes are broken

I'm trying to shout this out

But my words go unspoken

With the power of my mind

I think I could levitate this

And hold on to your ankles

And soap up and clean this

And even he was scared

And passed me some bottles

To fill with my tears

And sell to the teachers

There is no conclusion

Just Steam down on Steam Street

She stares at the future

I stare down at these feet.
