Take a walk through the walls, ears awash in roaring Particles brush the skin, the shadows pour in Moments drift on by, the stillness races faster (The coming tide is rarified) All this world is in motion, elevate in rotation All's aglow with a fire inside

I swept down the Mongol Plains on a steed so true Synaesthesia is a right real bitch when all you hear is blue It's like a whistle on the Neva River back home in Petersburg But right here, all I taste is red, the color of the horns I heard Oh, on I ride, on Mongol Plains In the dark I climbed a hill and smelled purple on the wind Tomorrow there'll be heavy weather, I'll don my ibex skin It feels yellow, like the golden fields around Nizhny Novgorod But right now on the Mongol Plains, the horns are blaring red Oh, on I ride, on Mongol Plains Oh, on I ride, crimson-eyed My sorrow stains these Mongol Plains

Climbing heights like a terrene Icarus The water below is deep with myths I dueled with Death on the Orrico Cliffs Now tumble down like the fated poetess I'm Gravity I'm Eurydice No amnesty Look out! You're chess like me The terrace in the late afternoon heat Think about what's under your feet Mythic vistas blossoming sweet Leave behind the Land Between The Seas I'm Gravity I'm Eurydice No amnetsy Look out! You're chess like me Balancing atop A brittle outcrop I give my pawn To the last rays of dawn I'm Gravity I'm Eurydice No amnesty You're chess like me

Get Mental 05:03
You – are you and not me But I have a query Where would that border be? I – is a word, not a soul And the mirror is just a hole Yawning in the abyss Blink and you will miss A life is just a piss Do you want it now Then let me hear you howl Get mental – cuz nothing is a temple And not one of us is that special You – are pretty stylized But look through squinted eyes Everything is just color and line I – D. I.D. indentity Is black as the sea Yawning in an abyss Blink and you will miss A life is just a piss Do you want it now Then let me hear you howl Get mental – cuz nothing is a temple And not one of us is that special Feeling in and out of tempo Communication is an echo Slicing through a dusky fading hue Keeping balance with aesthetic Execration of the synthetic What does it matter if the ego were to shatter? Do you want it now Then let me hear you howl Get mental – cuz nothing is a temple And not one of us is that special

Icy stares and a blood-red glare in the tinted glass Fiction lies through slit-line eyes, call it a holograph Raining down like a votive of fire The hollow heart of a ghost empire Savage heat and deathless deceit in the aftermath I call him Dolos He calls me human lice Artifacts of highwire acts now span empty space What remains scatters to the plains like some feudal waste The master has been called away And Veritas is carved from clay One walks on while the other is gone like the empty vase I call him Dolos He calls me human lice I call him Dolos Staring back with undead eyes Stuff him in the tholos And dance upon the muffled cries

about

Dave Harvey Olympia, Washington

Solo tracks recorded in a 1/2" 4-track analog studio in Olympia, WA. Sometimes rock'n'roll with synths, sometimes a hybridized electro-rock man-machine twist, and usually a dose of psychedelia.
My more publicly performed bands are Nudity and Госкино. Find them in the links below, as well as my film photography and motion pictures. I also produce and engineer other bands at the studio High Command.
