Morning
09:54
|

|
Your heart is open, and mine is a fallacy.
I’ve been consumed by the fear of transparency,
Waiting for God to come send me a picture
Of what I might look like in 10 years’ time.
Your love is like a tornado of happiness,
My love is caught up in so many yellow-brick roads,
Trying to pull itself into the future
Before it’s decided which way it should go.
Everything I ever wanted is golden now,
All I ask is that you are with me.
Everything I ever wanted is golden now,
All I ask is that you are with me.
Morning has broken, I can’t peel the sheets away.
Morning has broken, I don’t want to anyway.
Morning has broken and I’m still inside of my head,
Can’t get out, I guess I’ll look around.
What are you saying to me? Feeding me apathy…
I lap it up and I finally find:
I’m in love with my own melancholic behaviours,
And happy to dance with the fear that I know.
Everything I ever wanted is golden now,
All I ask is that you are with me.
Everything I ever wanted is golden now,
All I ask is that you are with me.
Your heart is open, and mine is a fallacy.
I’ve been consumed by the fear of transparency,
Waiting for God to come send me a picture
Of what I might look like in 10 years’ time.
Your love is like a tornado of happiness,
I can’t control it, it blows my heart from my chest…

About Time
04:26
|

|
You first wanted me to go, and so I went there, semi-stable.
Crowded eyes, and fast below into the depths of your appraisal.
Telling signs, to tell the tale,that came too tall to trail.
Collapse into a pile, under a floorboard, cold and frail.
Too late now to ask, the moment's passed.
Took my time but I'm here now, I forget how.
Suffering insomnia that I would dream away,
If I could sleep forever, I could make it through the day.
Take me up to heaven with you when you go away,
I love you and I always will remember you this way.
Too late now to ask, the moment's passed.
Took my time but I'm here now, I forget how.
Drifting into other worlds to find out who is here,
No one thought to save the words and at last they disappeared.
Travelling for hours under the starlight free from fear,
I felt your hand above me, you were smiling ear to ear.
Too late now to ask, the moment's passed.
Took my time but I'm here now, I forget how.

Something Natural
03:48
|

|
Dragging my tongue across the leather, I thought you’d never come.
Separated for worse for better, academically evacuate our home.
Do it again give it gravity, don’t let it follow me, neatly detain what looked fatherly.
Practice preaching open policy,
Til we do,
We'll never lose
Our faith
Give me something natural.
Be still, embrace the thrust.
Don’t stop until you have it all.
Stampede, shake the dust.
Set her up straight towards the window, I can afford to wait
Better off late than accidentally asked to be in charge of the gate
So positive that it posits a relook at the bargains they disposed of as garbage and threw away.
Facets of a frozen foreign aid,
Thanks to you,
We’ll paint the room
Beige.
Give me something natural.
Be still, embrace to thrust.
Don’t stop until you have it all.
Stampede, shake the dust.

Put Me On Ice
03:58
|

|
Put me on ice to protect me from you,
Tell me you love me then don’t follow through,
It serves me right trying to be bigger than you.
Take me to bed just to tell me your name,
Look at me still like I’m ten foot away,
You’re kinda dead in the eyes anyway.
When you left me for dead in the woods,
That was not what I meant when I told you to be good,
And you left me for dead just to come back again when you remembered
That the past isn’t always the pud.
I wonder how much I might love you,
If only you’d had the same dreams I told you to.
And I wonder how much I might love you,
If only you’d been the same person I told you to be.
I know you’re not the messiah,
No you’re not even close, you’re a dirty little liar,
And when you empty yourself of desire,
That’s when I’m told that the good things come.
When you left me for dead in the woods,
That was not what I meant when I told you to be good,
And you left me for dead just to come back again when you remembered
That you never expected you would.
When you left me for dead in the woods,
That was not what I meant when I told you to be good,
And you left me for dead just to come back again when you remembered
That the best things are misunderstood.

Began, walking backwards, through the sweaty underpass.
Saturday night’s dressing gown.
Saw a plum on the window sill, beckoning me, to draw all over it.
Pictures. Ambrosial nectar. Butterflies sweeping through.
Sweeping through medication, sweeping through. Sweeping through my cabinet, sweeping through you.
I dreamt I saw a purple butterfly sweeping through the plum pillow of my ambrosial nectar, squelching. squelching. Squelching purple ink into my orifice, squelching.
Squelching through my medicine cabinet, squelching through you.
The Saturday night sun shone down, through my dressing gown.
The Saturday night sun shone down, squelching through my dressing gown.
The Saturday night sun shone down, squelching through my dressing gown, and I drew you, I drew my medicine cabinet through you, sweeping through the butterfly’s sweaty arms, underneath the rose purple plum, filling the surface of my windowsill, squelching through you, squelching through my cabinet, squelching through you. I turned my back for a moment and you threw, up. Purple liquid squelching out of your orifice. Seeping onto the parchment. Seeping onto the plum. The plum filling the carpet with its sweaty juices. Butterflies becoming numb. My dressing gown. Dries.
I wish I could’ve known you,
I wish I could’ve known you,
I wish I could’ve known you.

What We've Learnt
03:11
|

|
We will be happy together,
Until we remember the words
It looks like we’ll have to reverse.
Sirens we thought were defected,
The silence affected their nerves.
You told me you were in Sweden,
and I had to shout to be heard.
When will we know what we’ve learnt?
When will they harvest our lungs?
I hatched a plan to conceal them.
I built a fire but it burnt.
We will be happy together,
Until we remember the words
It looks like we’ll have to reverse.

So Long
06:23
|
|||
|
There is a way out of here, I know, I made it.
Patterns flow back through a hole I created.
Send me your love in a
note, scented with roses.
Sentence my life to behold what it exposes.
And I wonder, how it is that you
Could wander, without making it through
For so long, it all seemed so new.
So long, farewell, adieu.
Left foot right, right over left foot and right foot.
Left to fight over enticements that I put
In the back of my mind, no I don’t mind chuck.
Your excitement is a
lifeline or a fly-hook.
And I wonder, how it is that you
Could wander, without making it through
For so long, it all seemed so new.
So long, farewell, adieu.
Fly away, I’ll take a ride out on my lifeboat.
Seems the weight of the horizon’s held my eyes shut.
To escape only extends the time that it takes me to wise up.
Show me how it is when a fire starts to ignite stuff.
And I wonder, how it is that you
Could wander, without making it through
For so long, it all seemed so new.
So long, farewell, adieu.

Tori Kudo is genius... his work plays joyously and expertly with naivety creating a language of expression like no other.

'Guys let's try to be nice' - Witold Snorbok's work poignantly expresses outsider art in a way that's both moving and fun.
