Cowboy Song 04:02
In the morn is when I mourn you most In this way we’re always doomed This face of mine won’t be around To see what remains of you I drink your shape like the wind that’s left In the forests growing dry I drink til I’m swollen like a wound to see what remains of you I loathe the sound of the quiet place that haunts me now you’re gone Brokenly I hear your breath where once there was a tongue Oh brokenly I hear your breath where once there was your tongue Oh brokenly I hear your breath where once there was your tongue Oh brokenly I hear your breath where once there was a tongue Oh brokenly I feel your breath where once there was your tongue

Two Holes 05:28
Even from a distance I can feel the pull Of two holes like beacons The fog in your breath Pulls your world around me Makes me blind for a sec Makes me reach towards you Makes me breathe in your scent And I taste lychee I won’t be alone Not in this mess of traces Not in the way I move and shake and tremble Can’t see where I’m turning I can’t be alone How did I fill up on nothing? I can’t be alone Not in the way that I’m turning Drawn like spires That stand tall in their yearning I’ve spent hours Blurring my boundaries Do you see my holes? Is there fog where I’m breathing? Does my world surround you? I won’t be alone Not in this mess of traces Not in the way I move and shake and tremble Can’t see where I’m turning I can’t be alone How did I fill up on nothing? I can’t be alone Not in the way that I’m turning Two holes, two holes Even from a distance, I feel the pull Of two holes, two holes Even from a distance, I feel the pull Of two holes, in my holes Where you suck the air out Suck the air out Suck the air out Suck this air out

Impossible 02:38
Suck the air out Suck the air out Suck the air out Suck this air out Suck the air out Suck the air out See this godless ruin shine in the sunlight My whole mouth roars in the sunlight As it opens to write your name Til you suck this air out Suck this air out. Even when I’m at your door Something remains impossible Even when I’m at your door Something remains impossible See this photo blow out the corner See this frame go right beyond the corners

Portal 03:38
It’s only my new name on your lips but that’s where I wanna be You come and go as you please and deepen your impression on me The mark of your teeth like a sigil underneath my skin A circle in the shape of a portal, where the future pours in A burning at the surface where the circle is the shape of a portal A penetration into the nape in the shape of a portal The hunger for another Turns my wound into an unholy portal Pull me through I’m in the attic Open and ready To take in your size I want you to turn me Cold under my surface Stretched up to your height But you keep me at the surface just the shape of a portal Frozen in the posture of waiting to be pulled into a portal Not like you I’m in the attic Open and ready To take in your size I want you to turn me Cold under my surface Stretched up to your height A burning at the surface where the circle is the shape of a portal A burning at the surface where the circle is the shape of a portal A burning at the surface where the circle is the shape of a portal A burning at the surface where the circle is the shape of a portal A burning at the surface where the circle is the shape of a portal

Perfume 04:25
As I approach him he looks as if to say “why?” I am the intruder, you look and tell me what you like. Hungry like a ghost I scratch the surface. My hands in the earth, I hear sky I know my purpose now Sing me an arrow my Lord I know my purpose now Sing me an arrow, line of flight Maybe you could know who I am All this perfume Enters my room You move me by rune Shape me anew All this perfume All this perfume All this perfume All this perfume

The Hunger 05:34
Fill my maw with milk Fill my mouth Blur my edges Leaking milk abjectly Drink my life out Let me pull your life out, Lord Hungry to be just like you Just like you dreamed Just like you Pharmakon Portal for your gaping size Stretch myself to walk at your height Hungry to be just like you Just like you dreamed Just like you
7.
Familiar 05:15
My blood is yours & your tongue is wet You can tell from the way I dress Pull the collar off to show my neck Hope I’m still fresh when you waste my breath I will stay til you fall asleep Underneath Climb the stairs to the morning heat Over & Over & Over I make new with the old connection I think I know my right direction That when you wake I’m the sole selection I am that undivided suspension of attention At the surface you know I’m sweet Let the vessel press up to meet At the dusk of eternity Over & over & over & over Your tongue is wet You turn my head I show my neck & slow my breath You carry me From underneath Prepare to meet your lips, my heat Every cell in me opens wide Perfect symmetry, perfect life Every piece of you comes inside Colder & Colder & Colder
8.
This little stream These eyes rolling back This turn of the head I fill you up I make you strong For the both of us Long night alone Thinking only of my blood inside you Naked in the attic Hoping that you feel it too Godspeed Godspeed He enters from the window Stake in chest, raining blood singing me a portal

Undead 04:37
The sanctuary’s white columns Each with a letter Spelling his name Like the cubicle door - 0 4 3 1 3 0 1 0 9 1 - its numerology, some measure of God Like how you let the car run until you’re smog And I’m the distance And from afar, the glint ricochets Every surface curved so the light could be from anywhere. A lens is part residue, part threshold And this is where I find you, limpid, crystal Limpid, crystal Limpid, crystal Limpid, crystal You have his mouth Talk with his tongue Can I call you dead? Limpid crystal Limpid crystal Limpid crystal Limpid crystal Bathe in the milk Of your becoming Can I call you undead? Limpid crystal Limpid crystal Limpid crystal Limpid crystal Gouge out a way Right through the skull Can I call you dead? Limpid crystal Limpid crystal Limpid crystal Limpid crystal See yourself dead

about

"A vampire must be welcomed into a space to enter it; always standing at a doorway, on the periphery, on the edge. The human familiar also waits at a border, literally edging, waiting for the promise of penetration. A witch’s familiar is usually an animal, like an owl or a cat. To the vampire, there’s no difference between people and pets. You become a little doggy, tongue out begging at the back door.

For a vampire, blood is a treat, a lubricant, a dressing. Puncturing skin breaches a boundary, sucking a future out from two holes. In gay porn, a bottom might scream “I’m a faggot sir I’m just a hole I’m nothing but a hole sir to serve you”. A vampire familiar begs for broken boundaries, but must be held at arm’s length; to exist is to be denied. It’s stasis; the future can’t pour in if you’re closed off. You stand at the door, even when you welcome others in. I’m open and ready, waiting at your door, but I remain impossible." - Angus McGrath
