lyrics

one thousand demons
on the edge of a blade
hold it up close to
an endless parade
they dance a pattern
so fine to behold
stroboscopic emotions
vibrate then dissolve

one with a feathered spear
one with a mirrored face
black blood on the teeth (and a 3 eyed bag of leaf)
and a dark space underneath

when you’re the magic one
the spells don’t hurt
lift up your skirts
and sit down in the dirt
you can be your own chair
throw back your long hair
when you have spells to cast
you don’t have a to care

What do you think is the answer
That holds us in stasis today
I am the eye on the pyramid
I turn all the controls up one
prisms refracting reality

One that is torn
from the creatures of caves
one that is born from
the haze of all fate
Inside the eye of the laser beam scream
devolved into nothing but a terrible dream

I see the blinded eyes and painted grins
shrouded and sharp
with skeletal chins
we rub ourselves on the world
like dogs that roll in the dirt
we are the mess that can’t be solved
we are the enemy that you can’t hurt

about

Jody Barton Copenhagen, Denmark

Jody Barton was born and raised in the UK near London and now lives in Copenhagen. His rowdy and eclectic music calls to mind the post-punk and anarcho folk of Crass, Ian Dury & The Blockheads and just a little bit of Tim Curry. His latest project ‘Morris Maroon & Other Ballads’ is an open-ended work in progress both as a solo live set and recorded album.
