    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

I’m a silver machine
Feigning sleep in the next bed over
And if you sit here with me
We can sink to the belly of the earth
And every uncertainty
Disappears in a perfect incandescence

Alive
He lifts his eyes
Fixed gaze
Discipline
Turn the page
Flip it back again
One face, two face
You fake your face

There is nothing we need
We bring nothing when we are buried
Not a gold figurine
Not the piss of a homeless Roman
Of what interest are we?
Our old toys have no use for our stiffened fingers

The pedophiles creep up with their cure-all fixers
Love elixirs
Innocent games
Maybe make it to sunup
And suffer your day

But every nightfall
It calls to you:

“I’m a silver machine—
I’m an infinite vista opening”

Set a minute aside for the things that matter
Pitter patter, pitter patter
