I think the best way is the most natural way
I know why you're here and why you don't want to leave
It's not too late for us,
but there will be accidents;
things you can't control
like missing a piece of the puzzle.
Forgive me
I have forgotten my place
We are made up of a lot of different stuff
I belong to another world
and I am one of the lucky ones.
I'll wait it out until you give yourself away
It's a shame to end it here but we will not let them
Now prove yourself worthy
of my affection
but I've built up a wall
free from all parabens

I'm giving you the option to be big
to be yourself
I want you to be large
I want you to get well
You're either domesticated or feral
I feel a little bit helpless
I wanna approach you all the time
This is an extreme case
and we have a lot of work to do
I'm giving you the option to be big
to be yourself
I want you to be large
I want you to get well
There's a hole in the wall that I'm guarding
The hunch that I'm working on
the gauntlet needs to be removed
I wanna see you being comfortable

The calm before the storm
out of the blue
you get torn up
maybe it's your own fault
I mean business
and not in the mood
for your games
back off and I'll come to you
We are social creatures,
but I want to disappear.
This love has potential,
but I've cried genuine tears.
Pull the wool over my eyes
you can try
but I'm the one who scrutinizes.
Choose your words over your friends
another dead end
but here is your event to lament

Aping the big guys
I begin to recognize
I'll hold the mirror so the visions
(can come through)
I'll hold the mirror so the visions
(can come through)
Meanwhile, my sapphires are watching you.
Clues hidden in plain sight
I dramatize my own life
I'll hold the mirror so the visions
(can come through)
I'll hold the mirror so the visions
(can come through)
Meanwhile, my sapphires are watching you.
My hands start shaking
just when I think about it
I'll hold the mirror so the visions
(can come through)
I'll hold the mirror so the visions
(can come through)
Meanwhile, my sapphires are watching you.
Your number comes up
and you've hit the jackpot
I'll hold the mirror so the visions
(can come through)
I'll hold the mirror so the visions
(can come through)
Meanwhile, my sapphires are watching you.
I've been watching you from a distance
seeing you, judging you, I'm watching you

You said you would change for me
and I believed you,
because I wanted to.
Being deprived of your validation,
harkens the end
darkness descends.
Sometimes it all feels like a dream,
no matter what happens
I'll remember you
I realise now that I knew nothing about you
I've been knock, knock, knocking on a stone-cold start
performing CPR on a mannequin's heart.
Everything that's happened to me
has built up to this point
And yes, there was a point
Even if I have to lie to myself
I'll get through this
pure kinesis
No matter how much I change
I can't cut the cords
Can't trace the wire
back to the source.
I realise now that I knew nothing about you
I've been knock, knock, knocking on a stone-cold start
performing CPR on a mannequin's heart.
I realise now that I knew something about you
I've been take, take, taken, taken apart
I've finally met my counterpart
Just between us
I can't handle the pressure,
but I am the great persuader

Anchor

Me, me, me, myself and I
I point at you
but you walk on by
Slippery, tongue in cheek, so unique, mystery alibi,
could've fooled me that the end is nigh
Sink deeper
You've been wearing an anchor haha
Think harder
You've been pranked by a trickster haha
You, you, you, yourself and yours
Lifting up your pinkie has become a chore
Mockery, slobbery, snowflakey, hamming it up du jour
kiss and bandage up and then beat me some more.

Something For Us
by Suzanne Bonifacio
Music from another galaxy; spaced-out, pysch-electronic production with eerie, anti-gravity vocal melodies.
go to album
Satelliti's brand of frenetic prog jazz is hyper but also spacey, hard hitting and yet organic and improvised.
