NO NOW

by Clarence Clarity





1. Become Death

2. Will To Believe

Just to be seen as honey

Dripping as a pimp spunks money

Just to be cute and heartless

Flicking at a tongue-tied sonnet

And healers

Believe in

Liars!

Believe in freedom

Heathens

Dreamers

All liars

Believe In Freedom™

I changed

I flaked.

Little pink petals off my back,

Like rain

Crazed

Debased

Gold pig peppered, strung up

Like game

And healers

Believe in

Liars!

Believe in freedom

Heathens

Dreamers

All liars

Believe In Freedom™

And the heart can't always feel it

But the head can always dream it

And then stop dreaming, be it:

And I will.

3. Alive In The Septic Tank

I'll be your hired gun

The lump between your lungs

I'll be that hunk of moulded plastic

In Egyptian sun and

I am hope

I am fear

Beyond Mount Zion lies

A Southmere Lake high-rise

Where I wrote ten zillion words of Shakespeare

As they hit my white eyes

I am hope

I am fear

I'm in the falling rain

I'm in your early grave

I'm in the shit between where

Hell and Heaven look the same

I'm on the highest plane

I've died a thousand ways

I hang in limbo 'cos your

Saviour looked the other way

Preach

As mortals we can try

And oh good Lord you'll try

But you can't ever offend everyone

All at the same time

I am hope

I am fear

I'm in the falling rain

I'm in your early grave

I'm in the shit between where

Hell and Heaven look the same

I'm on the highest plane

I've died a thousand ways

I hang in limbo 'cos your saviours

They all look the same

We all look the same

And we all judge the same

And we are bound to wind up lovers

'Cos we look the same

And we all fuck the same

And we'll all die the same

And in this finite cosmos

Best believe me when I say:

I am hope

I am fear

4. Buck-Toothed Particle Smashers

Was it genetic?

Did you catch it?

It hadn't bled

Until you tapped it

She's sun bleached

And your lucks in

Whatever gets you off

Incestuous love

You didn't know you'd get infected

Late night when you crept in

I wouldn't advocate eugenics but-

Whatever gets you off

Incestuous love

Its the yin and the yang

And the yang and the yin

Life without sex

Is a life without sin

We're just buck-toothed players

Playing ourselves out.

Expect I'll get what you expected

Its benign but defected

Its the fluoride I ingested

Atoms to dust

Infinite love

I'd quit but I don't know when to stop

When the tar in my veins begins to clot

Do I sound like I mean it?

Do you mean it?

Its the yin and the yang

And the yang and the yin

Life without sex

Is a life without sin

We're just buck-toothed players

Playing ourselves out.

Its whats inside the blister

A good girl and her sister

Lovepuss filled confessor

It swells till it blows incestuous love

Pornstruck absolution

Please cure my confusion

I might need that infusion

Padre padre Absolvo te

Its the yin and the yang

And the yang and the yin

Life without sex

Is a life without sin

We're just buck-toothed players

Playing ourselves out.

5. Hit Factory Of Sadness

6. Off My Grid

Talk to me

Through a screen

Talk to me

Like I'm real

Talk to me

Like we are destiny

Waiting.

Sinking.

Stop me swallowing fires

I'm addicted to myself

Got vindictive desires

I've got off my grid

Trapped in death waves beneath the avalanche.

Sinking.

Slow the panic down

Watching time lapse ghosts

And you're watching flowers grow, and die…

We'll scatter ashes where we met you

Throw caution to wind.

You have seeds with new arms, reaching.

Stop me swallowing fires

I'm addicted to myself

Got vindictive desires

I've got off my grid

Trapped in death waves beneath the avalanche.

Sinking.

Stop me swallowing fires

I'm disgusted with myself

Got vindictive desires

I've got off my grid

Trapped in death waves beneath the avalanche.

And sinking.

In the mistrust that I lost

In the loss that I trust

In the times I collapse

It drips like dust

And there's dreams where I'm sleeping

And there's dreams where I don't wake up

Can't stop me swallowing fires

I'm addicted to myself

Got vindictive desires

I've got off my grid

I've got one hand on The Bible

I've got voices in my head

I've got destructive desires

I fell off my grid

I fell off my grid

I fell off my grid

I fell off my grid

I fell off my grid

(Breathe)

7. Those Who Can't, Cheat

The Universe unfolds:

Out the gate,

Best take me out the game

Think I'd best -

Take two cos I get blue,

Cos I want to…

Alpha male

And I'll fight tooth and nail

For nothing-

I'll slip through,

And affect you

Cos I have to…

Can I get a witness:

Oops I forgot my sickness

Oops you forgot your lipstick luck again…

And who's with us?

We're flies at the reptile party

Oops you forgot your lipstick luck again…

In my leagues of hate

I'll tick me off the page

A shakedown

One word, and you'll slip through

And resent you

And I am the girl

As far as I can tell

And I'm tripping

Too deep

Down my own hole

At the death knoll

Can I get a witness:

Oops I forgot my sickness

Oops you forgot your lipstick luck again…

And who's with us?

We're flies at the reptile party

Oops you forgot your lipstick luck again…

Trust us, we're the thorns in your crown-

Court jesters.

But the lines in the skies infest us.

And the crimes in the rhymes of the U.S

Ask the weapons inspectors.

Out the gate,

I'll take me out the game

Think I could -

Fool you, cos I have to

And I want to…

Go girl, get made

And I'll park the Chevrolet

And we'll spark the black hearts

In the theme park.

Till it gets dark.

Can I get a witness:

Oops I forgot my sickness

Oops you forgot your lipstick luck again…

And who's with us?

We're flies at the reptile party

Oops you forgot your lipstick luck again…

Can I get a witness:

Oops I forgot my sickness

Seems you forgot your lip-synced lark again…

And who's with us?

We're the life of the reptile party

Oops you forgot your lipstick luck again…

9. Bloodbarf

If living this without you is no good

If living this without you is no good

I'll step through a wormhole and a bloodbath in the rain

Because living this without you is no good

10. Tathagātagarbha

11. Meadow Hopping, Traffic Stopping, Death Splash

I was in Hollywood

At the Witch House

With the Reptiles

And the Catholics

You was in Hollywood

At the Witch House

With the Reptiles

And the Catholics

And I'll make you lap it up.

You got that nothing-something violence

I could never know but

You got my vengeance coming

I was in Hollywood

At the Witch House

With the Reptiles

And the Catholics

You was in Hollywood

At the Witch House

With the Reptiles

And the Catholics

Have mercy

Give me symmetry

Give me happiness

Give me sanity

Have mercy

Give me symmetry

Give me happiness

Give me CLARITY

And I'll make you lap it up.

You got that nothing-something violence

I could never know but

You got my vengeance coming

And I'll make you lap it up.

You got that nothing-something violence

I could never know but

You got my vengeance coming

I got that something-something

Judas you could never know but

You got my vengeance coming...

12. Porn Mountain

HD:

I'll give my legacy the kiss of death, watch me

Split it with a holy sister's sledge-hammer

Because real villains never die, no

So we can do this all night…

Girl…

So then you spin to me

"If dishonesty's not the best policy we're in a fix"

Untruth blinds our way

"If dishonesty's not the best policy we're in a fix"

Before you go

Can you feel it?

Is it violent?

Ulysses starts to see me

In silence

HD Pictures/HD Sound

The High Priest of computations,

Has enough of his temptations,

He surfs the clouds to Porn Mountain.

… So don't ask me what I'm thinking, please

So then you spin to me

"If dishonesty's not the best policy we're in a fix"

Untruth blinds our way

"If dishonesty's not the best policy we're in a f…"

Before you go

Can you feel it?

Is it violent?

Ulysses starts to see me

In silence

Before you go

Can you feel it?

Is it violent?

Ulysses can't unsee me

In silence

Jumping on my death bed

I won't fear for anything.

Suddenly!

There's a stabbing pain in my heart

Lights go out in my head

And its over.

Oh…

13. One Hand Washes The Other

With one hand washing the other…

I've conceived and achieved, and I'm bleached and I'm clean

And I eat the spleen fed back to me

And I gleam and succeed in-between white sheets

In a dream where I lie next to me

I could bleed out

Emphysema

Got both feet in a swollen fever

Hear no evil

See no evil

But I can speak

And bleat for you

When you clap, I do it

I can step right to it

When you ask me to move you

When you clap, I do it

But if I stop a minute

You'll ask me to lose

With my sides in a vice, I'm concise and contrived

And my imperfections run to me

And there's flies in a pile, where my hopes go to die

Hear my plier plucked insecurities

You're looking Godly next to me,

Pull and set us free

When you clap, I do it

I can step right to it

When you ask me to move you

When you clap, I do it

But if I stop a minute

You'll ask me to lose

I was born

In love everything

Exhausted empathy

I got bored

Theres a truth in apathy

Isolated entropy

Let's get bored

Let's get born

And feed the sickle down our throats

When you clap, I do it

I can step right to it

When you ask me to move you

And when you clap, I do it

But if I stop a minute

You'll ask me to lose

When you clap, I do it

I can step right to it

When you ask me to move you

And when you clap, I do it

But if I stop a minute

You'll ask me to lose

14. The Cute

The Cute,

The Cute,

The Cute,

The Cute,

The Cute…

I'm channelling a tunnel vision

I panic in a c-collision

I stutter in in-d-d-decision

Lie about a premonition

What?

What you see ain't what you got

I got the block, can't join the dots

Changing colours with my mind

Been too long, gone colourblind

Not on my watch…

15. 1-800-WORSHIP

My missing fortune

Must be holed up

At the end of time

The slowest tortures

Kick my thoughts into

Another line

But if your teachings

Juxtapose with prose

From other rhymes

We'll write our contradictions

You've got yours

And Good Lord I've got mine

But I've read a few things about it

So forgive me if I sound sincere

But i'm circling my own self doubt

And I'll shout when I get the fear:

Help me to remember

Help me to remorse

Help me to remember

Help me to reform

Cos this won't do

Cos this won't do

Cos this won't do, ever.

So help me to help you

Unsung Zen Masters

Drop like flies, blinded in

Their own light

Unearth my secrets

And I'll preach it like my

Second lightning strike.

Now I've learnt a few things about this

Now she's harbouring a lump for love

My waters are clear, but I'm

Swimming in a back-stream, chocked by fear

Help me to remember

Help me to remorse

Help me to remember

Help me to reform

Cos this won't do

Cos this won't do

Cos this won't do, ever.

So help me to help you

16. The Gospel Truth

You're just a memory that you should give up

Forgotten cemetery that you should dig up

Your luck is surfacing so drink from your cup

Double-think everything, jumping the gun

Boy you know who you are

Death magnet, poison dart

You are maker of your best bad luck

And you ain't ever gonna reach the stars

I can't save myself from me

Now and then, as I feel I'm about to give up

Now and then, as I feel I'm about to give up

The disease looking at me

Scratching my insides

And haunting my sleep and

Preaching the Gospel Truth

If you're fidgety and starting to cluck

The perfect remedy you couldn't think up

And if you're hearing this voice from above

Shrink-wrap the fucker and drown it in love

Boy you know who you are

Choked up, jumped up, cock-star

Pre-teen, Spring Break sex-art

Hit that if you could just get hard

I can't save myself from me

Now and then, as I feel I'm about to give up

Now and then, as I feel I'm about to give up

The disease looking at me

Scratching my insides

And haunting my sleep and

Preaching the Gospel Truth

Holy Father, I know these are constructions

Holy Mother, been feeling your contractions

Holy Moses, ain't nothing but human

Holy Jesus, I'm glowing in your image

Crucifix in my lap, like that

A more satisfying erection

Lucifer off my back, like that

I'm the Final Revelation

Now and then, as I feel I'm about to give up

Now and then, as I feel I'm about to give up

The disease looking at me

Scratching my insides

And haunting my sleep and

Preaching the Gospel Truth

Fuck the disease looking at me

Scratching my insides

And haunting my sleep and

Preaching the Gospel Truth

17. No Now

18. Cancer™ In The Water

Before I get out

I'll put Cancer™ in the water

Before you got out

You left Cancer™ in me

19. With No Fear

Drip like summer rain

Streaming, it beckons me home again

And I'll leave my faith wide open

Just return me to the sea

They call it Key West

But honest to God, they don't know my name

I could be anyone

Or anywhere, as I fade into the tide

It never ends…

And,

With no fear, no

With no fear, no

With no fear, no

With no fear, no

Leave me be where I lie



Am I heavenly?

I promised to call you, but like hell I did…

Now that summer rain,

Will kill you

And all in its path

Will never learn

And,

With no fear, no

With no fear, no

With no fear, no

With no fear, no

Leave me be where I lie

For all the hits I swerved round

For all the loves I walked out on

Leave me be where I lie…

Your perfect fit, my imperfect fears

So we never did re-invent the wheel

Leave me be where I lie…

Leave me be where I lie,

To die…

And with no fear, no

And with no fear, no

And with no fear, no

And with no fear, no

Leave me be where I lie

20. Now I Am
