1.	Mae of the Molasses Fountain 07:40	lyrics	buy track
Mae, don't fight the rays The tendrils beckon You were displaced So you begin From this collagen And you will soon Be back again Take, take your old boat With it you'll row Where the poppies grow Don't get too cross This fountain's exhaust Will guide you through A world exhumed
2.	Exfoliating Luchador / Mae's Boat 06:34	lyrics	buy track
Destruction, adieu For all that we knew Green glowing crosses will bloom Harmonious doubloon Detritus, exposed Ignite us, repose Corrugation of white denim Scan the passport Insipid venom Infiltrating automaton Swindling spindle Gone and gone Crushed beneath an aura of torpor (detritus) Crossing several seams, stitched by a northerner (detritus) High rise for exfoliating luchador (detritus) Surmise there could ever be anything more Detritus

6.	Stirring Underneath the Syrupy Light 05:09	lyrics	buy track
There was no vitality Nothing more for which she could conceive Intrinsic mortality, something in this place moves and breathes You have to go back, back into the bile you shall fall Molasses crawls in quantum stacks, you rowed your best, you had some gall This is not an ultimatum, nor is it a candour of wits This is your last chance to escape from indifference in the mist The world fares you well, this earth is nothing more than just a dream Crawl back to the fountain, where you'll stay unharmed and pristine SHE STIRS UNDERNEATH THE SYRUPY LIGHT SHE TRIES TO FREE HER ENDORPHINS BUT THE MIND STAYS TRITE SHE STOLE TOO MUCH IN SICKNESS, SHE WORE OFF THE SPELL SHE DOESN'T KNOW ANYONE, SHE DOESN'T KNOW HERSELF HER VISCOUS UNIVERSE, IT STARTS TO COALIGN SHE CHOOSES IF IT HURTS AND SHE STAYS MOBILE AND ALIVE IT ENSNARES HER IN THE AIR, FOLLOW HER IF YOU DARE THIS BARRIER THAT WE SHARE, MINDS MILKY, TAMED AND FLARED

about

Over a 2 month period of time I started thinking. This music thing. I love it too much. I love sound. I love noise. This is an album constructed from those two rudimentary aural properties. This is an album about a young woman named Mae and her bizarre adventures.
