    Compact Disc (CD) + Digital Album

    This very limited deluxe version, in an edition of just 65 copies, comes in the form of a “Time Sensitive” hardcover book—embellished with clock parts/faces/hands on the outside and collaged inside with antique, blue tinted engravings of Greek and Roman statuary that have been modified with gears, springs and other horological workings, in a pseudo-steampunk fashion. Each of the initial 65 copies has wooden edging, vintage wooden instructional musical note blocks corners, and comes with factory pressed disc and hand printed insert in a mounted, midnight black envelope.

lyrics

He is so Deft With Language
And so dedicated
Meanwhile the pole I am humping
Sinks into the earth

What dollar do you trade in?
With what silks beladen?
It goes a long way down
What seems to be worth

Motorcycles charging
Like a baby’s snarling
Phantom ill sensation
Welled up dropping from a dream
And falling to its
Fatted collarbone my
Heavy-heartedness
I’ve just now seen it happen

He is so Deft With Language
And so dedicated
Meanwhile the pole I am humping
Makes a dent in the earth
There is a faint sucking noise
As the grain soaks with mud
What a cold lie we live in
To conceal the labor
I’m a stuck pig
In a sense I’ve nothing left to lose!

Laughing businessmen amused
A woman’s fooled them
Like the fish breath of a whale
Says who’s consuming whom
And while my ship’s harpoon
Aims silently for
Heart fat ready to be spilt
Into the changing tide
A bird is crying
Nauseous circles flies above
But that’s his problem
Why’s he flying like a bird?
