Avoiding Black Holes Yes, there are quite a few things I regret Like turning down a night of complicity, for small talk Or wagering all on a life between ledgers All my energy sublimated into everyone else The gradual disillusionment Of the last too many hours Of which I have nothing to show But a pen pressed to hard into paper Why couldn’t I just say no? Why go on like this When the city is illuminated, briefly precious Why go on like this When the perfect words are tattooed on your palm When I think of the covering white lies Avoiding black holes Accepting just that little bit less All that time eaten by hesitation Why couldn’t I just say yes? Why go on like this When the city is illuminated, briefly precious Why go on like this When the perfect words are tattooed on your palm [hide] embed code Put the clip of this song on any of your html web pages.

Keepsakes I’d never numb my demons they are needed To settle old scores Slashed across my cheek The glow of acid revives and plays Across old stages Taking curtain calls Are you my lithium A trip to calmer seas The dark full and warm Tucking me in More I could tell you As I hover awake With your peaceful face Fingers play over keepsakes Tarnished and unsteady I have slipped away To turn old pages From alkaline to acid to rise inside of me Inside of me Are you my lithium A trip to calmer seas The dark full and warm Tucking me in More I could tell you As I hover awake With your peaceful face How completely delusional To think that justice comes to those Who wait in your arms Are you my lithium A trip to calmer seas The dark full and warm Tucking me in More I could tell you As I hover forever awake With your peaceful Your beautiful, beautiful, beautiful face.

Corridors If your parachutes Could hold you in their arms Help you walk on air And tell you You’re the only one Would you still sink Into cumulo nimbus Drink in acid rain Fade away For a minute short of forever, you wait To throw yourself against the wind Between this world and the next, you hang Then swallowed by the storm It’s the corridors I fear It’s the smell of tears And when the silence weighs I can tell you You’re the lucky one For a minute short of forever, you wait To throw yourself against the wind Between this world and the next, you hang Then swallowed by the storm If your parachutes Refused to open And you missed the ground And fell further [hide] embed code Put the clip of this song on any of your html web pages.

An Overlong Welcome An iceberg in a city A desert in a teacup A plane crash in winter A final reprieve A statue crying Footprints on the ceiling An umbrella indoors And then you Won’t it be lonely I wasn’t much I know A head on backwards A silent schoolyard No more life left on earth A final reprieve A cold phosphorescence A warm shining sea One last breath of air And then you Won’t it be lonely I wasn’t much I know An overlong welcome Never knowing when to go Won’t it be lonely We weren’t much I know [hide] embed code Put the clip of this song on any of your html web pages.

The Last Of Her Blue Eyes In the very last house Shuttered and eaved I promised my dearest one Away with ease He stroked her tear stained cheek Patted his knee The last of her blue eyes Last traces of her warmth on me When my love agreed to dine To redeem all I had lost I pushed away with one hand And held on with the other Door slammed and I’m on my knees A heathen praying Resting on a hair’s breadth All resolve swaying When I’m alive once more Her blues are now red Glassy gaze pierces me And she’s drawn to the dawn of release When my love agreed to dine To redeem all I had lost I pushed away with one hand And held on with the other When my love agreed to play I realised what I had lost As I pushed away, pushed away with one hand And held on with the other When, my love?

Ransome The moment she was kidnapped She knew that she was wanted A sensational bounty In a mobile home She’s on the common tongue More than just a passing feast A scandal in a chocolate box That you can bring home Isn’t she beautiful? In the dark, in a moment, all alone Does she suit your fantasy? Isn’t she beautiful? In the flesh, in full colour, all alone A woman that can never be After dismantling her robes And inspecting her wares We really did not expect, we did not expect Such a steal The moment she was kidnapped We knew that she was what we wanted The linger of her sparkle Mix business with a smile Isn’t she beautiful? In the dark, in a moment, all alone Does she suit your fantasy? Isn’t she beautiful?

Clasp It's a warm body in the bed Hands over our mouths Fist clenched tight To hold it in I held on with every memory I had But how can you fight A well-worn coat of regret The house is painted blue And shadows finely drawn We live here still Reason forgotten I'll stay on my side And you on yours You've got your god I've got my garden Over and Over Again Her room is on the left And left in repose Hands over our eyes I can see her still We sleep in one facade We speak to conceal That I have her handprint You her curls Tell me, do you have this ache It starts from back here That comes from thinking Over and over again What's next What's next now What's next Over and Over Again [hide] embed code Put the clip of this song on any of your html web pages.

Posthumous Today was a little strange I held my own funeral but nobody came Stood around waiting for rain Certain I’m supposed to fade away. It was this time years ago At the naissance of memory In the dark where the giants wait Mouths open to swallow me Water drips on your forehead It pieces your sanity Your ears are battered It pieces your certainty Perform a post mortem Write to the newspapers The funeral is over Revival is expected Today was a little strange I held my own birth but nobody came Lay still waiting for change Certain I’m supposed to start living It was this time years ago Wearing the curse of all my days Digging for my ancestor’s bones Certain there should be wisdom Water drips on your forehead Pieces your sanity Your ears are battered And it pieces your certainty Perform a post mortem Write to the newspapers The funeral is over Revival is expected Today was a little strange Woke up and I’d faded away With so much still tangled And the building in disarray Then I realised that convictions Are dreamed up like giants And the hearse is waiting And everyone is there [hide] embed code Put the clip of this song on any of your html web pages.

Saturnalia Dreaming he cries to wake Awake he dreams Floating the impossible Beyond our reach He brings journeyings And with words like seeds or bullets He says the voyage outward Is like the one within Rest now, rest now But never dead unto the world He speaks of a one Never inconvenienced with a heart That seductive one He speaks of a one Of noble intentions That blameless one Rest now, rest now But never dead unto the world I feel my fate in fears that I know I learn by going where I have to go Rest now, rest now But never dead unto the world Here, where the world is quiet Here, where all trouble meets He knows each age a dream is dying Or one that’s coming into birth He sees time, a gift of tears Grief, a glass that ran Everyone desires to live long But no one would be old I feel my fate in fears that I know I learn by going where I have to go He has danced at the Saturnalia Now the pen falls from his hand Ninety-nine years of divination Now to burn and rage at close of day. One hundred years gone His folly turned divine All the madmen rejoice One of them is recognised I feel my fate in fears that I know I learn by going where I have to go [hide] embed code Put the clip of this song on any of your html web pages.

The Finalist Reason me and lean on me Twist and twist And I cave in Reason me and lean on me Twist and twist and twist Till I cave in Pay close attention For I am leaving I will take you home If you promise not to waste and reason me Lean on me Twist and twist and twist Till I cave in Cause I’m human Just one last word. Human. Is that the word The pressure of knowing The pressure of choosing I buried you with so much certainty So much certainty and reason me Lean on me Twist and twist and twist and… I cave in I’ve got my eyes I’ve got to change impossibility I got my senses I’ve got to change impossibility Reason me and lean on me Twist and twist and twist and twist and twist Till I cave in Cave in Don’t close your eyes Or they’ll return Don’t close your eyes Or they’ll return We hang on just long enough To tell you, how much we miss you To tell you, how much we miss you To tell you, we miss you To tell you I miss you…. Reason me and lean on me Twist and twist and twist and twist and twist Till I cave in I’m going to wait outside.

Press	'An Overlong Welcome' Suave modern rock fraught with jazz and tinged with subtlety, the debut longplayer from Brisbane-based 5 piece Mesmere, An Overlong Welcome is an ethereal exploration of texture and dynamics. From the dangerously evocative ‘Corridors’ through to riff heavy closer ‘The Finalist’ Mesmere bear an innate ability to construct off the cuff almost leeringly effective melodies whilst maintaining a deceivingly even musical flow. The rhythm guitar in particular reliably offering a succinct counter approach to what could easily be plunked out in paint to numbers manner. Track # 2, the Daniel Jones (Savage Garden) produced ‘Keepsakes’ hums along with enough pizzazz to stick where it ought to and enough flutter to suspend itself artfully. Lingering tastes here are reminiscent of a Portishead styled tendency towards soundscape coupled with Evanescence like vocal sustenance and Mesmere's own musical transgression thereof. An Overlong Welcome chimes where it should and punishes appropriately. Evan Alexander The Blurb
