Sheets of White Paper
03:14

This one’s for those time honored jizz stains
poetically carved onto sheets of white paper.
Bras left by strangers on the filthy tables
of consequence,
drowning in the contents of the sink
while smoking sheets of white paper.
This one's for the backseats of taxis
payed for with tricks turned full circle
tangled in the solos the sleepers and the workers
holding up the street lights, pay her
with visions in the sheets of white paper.
This isn't for you, in your cybernetic, sociopathetic,
meandering misunderstanding of the sensual value
of sheets of white paper.
This isn't for clumsy me, my indirect ineptitude,
insisting upon marking the places I fall.
My guts on the wall are nothing next to
sheets of white paper.

refugees don’t lose hope
just take my hand
to your nuclear home
on plastic island
plastic
i’m turning into plastic
bend my bones they don’t break
plastic
i’m turning into plastic
stay so fresh i don’t age
just pile up and throwaway
just pile up and throwaway
i look so good in plastic
shine like nylon, shape me drastic
plastic
i’m turning into plastic
i can’t feel you taste your smell
when we fuck i might as well
be merchandise prime to sell
just pile up and throwaway
just pile up and throwaway
plastic
i’m turning into plastic
plastic
i’m turning into plastic
plastic
i’m turning into plastic
plastic
i’m turning into plastic

Water Outside

pop lock and drop it in the upright position
please remain calm with your head between your neighbors knees
flight attendancing will commence in exhibition
place the buckle on the border and squeeze
inflating on contact the oxygen masks
your location in the front back and wings
frequency flying nose dive relax
to make your turbulence sing
the plane crashed into the ocean
(there’s water outside)
stepped out the club and it’s raining commotion
(there’s water outside)
got thirsty pressed up against strangers
(there’s water outside)
emergency exit crossfade arrangement
(there’s water outside)
(there’s water outside)
outside the club lights
(there’s water outside)
rain clouds the moon night
(there’s water outside)
outside the club lights
(there’s water outside)
rain clouds the moon night
glisten ashtray awash in wet light
(there’s water outside)
you know you can not smoke inside
(there’s water outside)
hey girl do you have a dry dry light?
(there’s water outside)
i’ve got a fire inside
(there’s water outside)
outside the club lights
(there’s water outside)
rain clouds the moon night
(there’s water outside)
outside the club lights
(there’s water outside)
rain clouds the moon night

Xibling Portland, Oregon
[pronounced: sĭbʹ-lĭng]
Synthpunk from Portland, Oregon
"Rather than rehashing ideas already
explored, Xibling assembles their music from the core components that made eclectic synth music exciting during the 80s, while diving headlong into the 21st-century avant-garde."
