Am I right?
Am I right?
Am I right?
Am I right?
Am I right?

I’m here
I’m here I back I’m here

White
Translucent
Light entering through opaque glass
Light reflects off the surface of water
Things come to pieces
And rebuild themselves into completely different objects
White tinged with sepia
With an encroaching darkness
Autumn leaves blown on the breeze
Heavy telephone cables
Twisted like creepers
The sound of crows
Invisible birds
A bedroom carpet becomes an Autumn forest floor
A pair of lips
Nothing falls down
Everything falls up
Objects start rising from the floor to the sky
Claustrophobic
Something massive encroaches slowly
Arrives across a stark landscape
Dry
Arid
Arcing electricity flashes
A smell of carbon
Sunlight filtered through a sandstorm
Delicate dancing in heavy boots
The power of you when I let you in
The responsibility and potential for damage

The whole image is suddenly cut
By a straight diagonal line into two
Each half slips against the other
Each half goes out of sync with the other
Duality of time
Existing in the same plane

A wooden room
Heavy
Dark
An overdose of brown
The room has invisible edges
Fades to black
Begins to float
To dance
Dead birds begin to rise from the floor of the room
Into the sky
The sky is black
Vibrating
A trembling pool of oil above us
Copper wires dipped into it

Better than Diamonds
What’s with the tattoo?
Better than Diamonds
Who’s it for girl?
Better than Diamonds
Body art for someone
Better than Diamonds
No one, anyone random
Better than Diamonds
I seen the one on your ankle
Better than Diamonds
On the escalator
Better than Diamonds
Am I the one you put it there for?
Better than Diamonds
A stranger?
A messenger?
Better than Diamonds
A signpost?
A key?
Better than Diamonds
A clue to the secret you?
Better than Diamonds
The one we’ll never meet
Better than Diamonds
And never did the first time
Better than Diamonds
But if I did, what then?
Better than Diamonds
Breathing underwater
Better than Diamonds
You scare me girl
Better than Diamonds
Dialogue
Better than Diamonds
Ink it out!
Ink it out!
Better than Diamonds
There and back again
Better than Diamonds
I’m a bag on wheels
I’m a stick on rails
I’m a playing card that has no meaning
Better than Diamonds
Whose time is it this time?
Better than Diamonds
Is it your time or is it mine?
Better than Diamonds
Whose boat is floating?
Better than Diamonds
Whose bread is toasting?
Better than Diamonds
Who’s among the palm trees?
Better than Diamonds
Whose siren is wailing?
Better than Diamonds
Whose rocks are cutting?
Better than Diamonds
Who’s calling homesick mariners?
Better than Diamonds
To their eternal bliss
Better than Diamonds
Whose words are these?
Better than Diamonds
Written on your ankle
Better than Diamonds
Whose time is coming?
Better than Diamonds
Who’s fanning the flames?
Whose names
Whose names
Whose names are these?
Better than Diamonds
And what’s with the tattoo?
Better than Diamonds
Who’s it for girl?
Better than Diamonds
Body art for someone, no one, anyone random
Call me some…
Better than Diamonds
Time
Better than Diamonds

I seen the one on your ankle
Better than Diamonds
Coming up the escalator
Better than Diamonds
Am I the one or is it a stranger?
Stranger than me
A messenger
A signpost I should not have seen
A key
A clue to the secret you
The one I’ll never meet this time or again
And never did the first time
But if we did
What then?
Better than Diamonds
Your scare me
Better than Diamonds
You stole it
Better than Diamonds
And I didn’t believe that it was…
Better than Diamonds
As simple as that in the first place
Better than Diamonds
So why did I get in there?
Better than Diamonds
Would I?
Would I?
Would I?
Better than Diamonds
At the temple of…
Better than Diamonds
At the sacrifice of…
Better than Diamonds
You charmed me blind
And I couldn’t hurt anyone
Even a fly
Tell me I’m crazy!

Rub me up
Better than Diamonds
Banana skin
Better than Diamonds
Baby sleeps in daddy’s arms
Hold on to your apples
Witness the kindness…
Better than Diamonds
Of strangers doing something
Better than Diamonds
Something for nothing
No prize
No certificate of excellence
No Aggravation
Dressed in black
Taking care of everything
For a little kindness
No art
No random kiss
