about

From the 2006 EP "The Urgency of Fleeting Sound".

lyrics

Pyrometric (Cornetta/Trainor)


The fire seals the glaze
And defies the earth in vitrified betrayal
And tired of the race
Is your finish, patina, faux?

Panic incubating
But don't call it an emptiness
Not a vacuum
A nebulous cloud

Entire seams evade the eyes of most who will appraise

It's becoming all to clear
That I must choose, that I must pick
One job, one woman, one street, one house, one life
And I don't know how to do it
No resolution fits in my iambic pentameter

In this centigrade circumstance nitrogen will repent

For in its neglect and arrogance
It has become unwanted
And its collective benefits
Will be overthrown by creation

Panic incubating
But don't call it an emptiness
Not a vacuum
A nebulous cloud with shrapnel fired
Across teeth and lips
An idea imprisoned
An emotion with insomnia

Once the fire seals the glaze
And defies the earth in vitrified betrayal
Entire seams evade the eyes of most who give praise

Once kaolin so fragile while so thin
Translucent
Blessed is the pedestal caught reveling beneath
This synthetic rebirth

And what about the pages?
Has their potential been met?
Can the tenants afford the rent?
Is this just another squandered opportunity?

Found in this and measured at higher cones

The fire seals the glaze

And provides the earth with hope
