1.	Summer's Mouth, Swallowed Whole 05:22	lyrics	buy track
Lustre might have faded Vision on the wane Loss of several dental Still so much to say Full size, dull eyes Carbon date If the air Has the same smell and taste Sulphur, lye, and ginger One more day Yeah First the acid Then The indellible Stain Wiped out the Shine But didn't stop When Will I return Who Is inside me Words Are stupid things Slugs left a Viscous, sodden trail in my mind Going nowhere Never too far Going nowhere Always so close Going nowhere Always speaking Never leaving Always right beside you
2.	Sunspots 07:01	lyrics	buy track
The waves collide under the zenith The wavering binaural tone Within this time defined subsistence How could a moment mean so much Heat dies, follow Wind falls, follow Frost breaks, follow Earth returns home An ever present force of nature Depending where the pieces fall And in the place of non-existent Still there is one more yet to come Ever, follow Never, follow Always, follow Walk in circles Faded stone, sediment Barren world, sifting grain Take what's there, left to decay Can't sustain, can't remain A brand new world We won't see A backwash earth Shakes us free Wheel returns Back again
3.	Under The Thumb Of The Altamont Werewolf 15:19	lyrics	buy track
Scars, frogs, claws, teeth So confined, sweat, transform, feed Instincts, need, desire, crave Hippie blood, warm, receive, flood Complete, stains, suppression, grasp Vengeful, scream, fly, squeal Comply, fresh, meat, starve Sweet, aroma, squirm, cavort Bursting forth from skin and denim jacket Scurry, dance, and run around Shine a light within you Mapping out your pumping heart Latticework of veins Shimmering within the dark Lime-green aromatic Mouthful of saliva Something crying from inside Wants to see the night time Rocking to the easy beat Pulling me apart Fangs and claws they must be real Tell me you can see them Growing so much taller Never has the atmosphere Smelled so much like supper Never has a gathering Looked so much like a feast If I could just show myself Reveal my true aspect Any second now Watch, here it Comes, can't you See, you can't See? Feel cold, distant light Last time Weather breaks Wide fields See green Feeling Always Fading sun Darkened windmill Tethering breeze Too far, left here Last goodbye Am the apex, am the predator Hunt on two legs, have an endless hunger Shift into phase, second gene pool Instinct risen, calling forth to combat California, groovy scene man Flower power, knives and chains and handguns Is it something, someone new here Do you ever second guess your nature?
4.	Bicycle Day 06:13	lyrics	buy track
I left my job, latest self experiment Estimated threshold dose It started slow, growing anxiety An evil witch next door My bicycle, an April afternoon Secluded in wartime The urge is gone, standing on the precipice Eyes all out The lunar phase, phasing in and outside Never can tell what's real The winter's gone, falling maybe forever Time Shapes and lights and colours Alternating image Circle into spiral Constantly insane Willful individual, wandering eternal Set against the twilight, real-time hindsight Live within the end, no need to pretend The past has come to life, standing outside Staring through the sky, shapes fill up my eyes Everything is single-celled, pastel Driven into sleep, division completed Faded into background noise, no choice Calling out at night, midday sun is too bright Spilling out the sand, making time while we can Starting to descend, just in time for week's end Can't begin to formulate a plan And it's over Gone away Into obscurity Get away Every single time Gone astray After the end has come
5.	Hallowed Darkyard 14:37	lyrics	buy track
Swirling thresher Sweat of summer Split wide open Spirit broken Good intentions Washed out with the rain Feeling nature's strain Can't deny the atmosphere Written clear What we are Simple solitary germs Shapes grow tall as trees Set pace slow steady Bright fire burns the leaves Move in closer still How long til it turns Will we all find favour Who gives unto us These gifts left as blessings Same blood month Murder prayer - SEND DEATH Crows wings Fit through a jacket and great coat We'll never remember We do not deserve this We'll always return here Time's bloody spoke I will follow the cubes Down Where we gather round Several stones in place When the hour has come Trace a hexagram Weather lends an ear Never recreate Bend just like a reed Move to break in two The weight of what you saw The weight of what's around you Believe in what's before To ring the bells for future ghosts Endeavor to delight By welcoming the fire bright The greater given song A fate for all the unseen hosts A spark from flint and rock Ignites us into flame and ash and dust

MIKE
by Major Entertainer

supported by 5 fans who also own “Fading Sun”

Mike H is a fantastically unique (major) entertainer! His sound resides in the overlapping Venn diagram of the Residents, Japansese pop, and maybe even a splish splash of Geza X. Such a fun album! K Gerard
