there is no gap deep enough (to keep us away) by tunnels/ by stars we follow the rhythm of a wave... gaps in the mountain gaps in the mind
2.
Gaps in the mountain, gaps in the mind stay on the trail, even though it's inclined, ooh I spent golden hours in this old wooded glade Left for the flatlands, but my spirit stayed, ooh In murky green tunnels with storm-severed limbs Sweet voices are calling me back home again Found my wood shelter with two broken chairs Believe it's still standing after all these years (or was it ever here?) Turn a stone and cover my tomb It's so moist, I'm growing mushrooms Down by the stream lies the remains of a mill Said to be condemned, but they're using it, still The stream sings the blues Sunlight cradles the pines As ages and angels pass What else will we find??? My spirit haunts these woods.

Bombless 02:19
tripping on daily scheduled fears tripping on objects in mirrors looking beyond a face that disappears... painted faces walk behind that make us laugh and sometimes cry blue drips from a governor's eye... it's a drag we just want to stay alive our bodies are bombs...nuclear arms got a call from the NRA they didn't have anything to say but in wonderland it was doomsday and these two women just happened to be in the way! we just want to stay alive our bodies are bombs...nuclear arms we just want to stay alive only a test with the Machinettes bombshells...Bikini atolls our bodies are mushrooms, death caps after summer rain delicate yet full of power and poison if you're lucky we could be a better weapon Our Bodies...Our Bombs
4.
Blistered Lotus, oh my Lotus Rarely closes Drifting, tripping, crispy, wistful Lotus time has burned us like a new brand still sore to touch Blistered Lotus heart like sunspots burned and bloodless adoremus (some things are better left behind) a crossroads in our wild and beautiful garden...
5.
Spreading like wings, water Echoes thru flooding tunnels From a starless sky Touched by angels Could we beat the storm With our expressed emotions? It's time to seek Higher Ground
6.
sweet summer rain comes into my lane as we ride across the porous, the chorus absorbs us... like dripping rock before dust we were enhydrous sweet summer rain.. as we ride across the porous, the chorus absorbs us... ...so we can make a rainbow on the outro ("use your wiles on me") - looped vocal from "Any Minute Now" original
7.
(inaudible voices and claps) in the soft vespertine glow the tuny tetraviolets grow from the blue domes to a dirty crossroad torn by stones, their petals picked a twinkle in their eye, long ago a flutter in the eye of a tornado in that wild and beautiful garden, where our dance cast a long, spinning shadow then forgotten as the land was left to lie fallow (vague hallelujahs... pink tower.. church tower) it was 2001, in a glass odyssey somewhere in the city mastodon roamed the streets through the night in a room with a 4-track and TV, the violets.. one held the sleep and one the key, but there was something missing they dug her grave then the airstrikes dug theirs THIS IS A NIGHTMARE (black and shiny, with yellow hair) of the southeast (of the land, but there is no land) when the sea levels rose up and made a new coast inlets, legs spread, swimming with Elvis to the underwater pyramid slipping the players on wet angles of the ancient arena like figureheads on sunken ships sailing on the edges of time (they all shape me) I SAW THE COLOSSUS, I SAW PETRA THEN THE TETRAVIOLETS AT AN EMPTY THEATRE ....THERE WAS SOMETHING MISSING as are the rocks shaped by the sea so they all shape me (vocals by Naomi) (claps) they all shape me
8.
Dark hearts in dew drops, take long walks Drawn-out dreamscapes and dropoffs Daisies raised, seasons fade Almost all that dies shall be remade Recycle a psyche, reap it in the next phase Moss you Mycelia, maybe will-o-feel-ya Find ya in a tunnel, philia-love eternal Daisies raised, seasons fade Almost all that dies shall be remade...
9.
there is no gap deep enough to keep us away by water, thread, and starless sky we follow the rhythm of a wave...
10.
ready to be warmed by the black sun... on a windy winter desert walk we can hear the angels talk ..you are warm, Noodle, we are not alone allow love, baraka, purpose divine time to create, ask for a sign melting diamonds in the eye of a black sun foraging jewels, left behind with crushed hopes thick clouds cover sky islands, water dripping down its slopes rattling the rhythms of change, exposing debris this is what we leave carbon lines this crystal habit out of mines, in memoriam monere fortunes made from earth turn to dust in a cemetery passed on by our lord, let its light be our ferry to a black sun I'm ready to accept love

about

This 5th collaborative song set between Arianna (Starriari) and Sundog (Clark L Trujillo) comes around the 20th anniversary of the "Sea Floor Spreading" album by "teravioles", Arianna's pre-Found Objects project.
While Sea Floor Spreading's original release was obscured during a difficult time (2002-3), elements in it echo through the present day as memories of empowered expressions of our (Ari's and Adeeba's) youth manifest and recycle in situations in our adult lives.
Singing in tunnels of beautiful, historic mountain passes, experiencing music scenes in other continents, then returning to our current home cities to work to keep up and find about "something missing" as acts of violence, destruction, and culture wars rage and remind -- these set the foundation for this "old shelter" reMade and reModeled.
This album begins with a new piece built from ambient recordings in two tunnels, one in California and one in Virginia, where Sundog's and Arianna's voices reverberate, chanting back and forth across the land mass. (The original version of this piece is now placed at the end.)
Curious exploration flows into fear and longing in rural and urban lives, a loose story told in different voices, looking back on the past era into the present. "My Spirit Haunts These Woods" is a sort of allegory for Found Objects of Desire as a musical project, while also referencing "Return to the Haunted Wasteland" from 2001.
"Machinettes," a teravioles favorite, lives on in "Bombless" while "The Porous Chorus" is based on "Any Minute Now", both originally from "Sea Floor Spreading." "Blistered Lotus" is a remodel of "Blistered Eternal Love Lies Above (B.E.L.L.A.) from "If by Thread.." (2021), and references to "No Gap Deep Enough" (2018) are present in "My Spirit Haunts These Woods" and "Two Tunnels."
"Tetraviolets" is the original name of the project which became "teravioles" in late 2000, intentionally obscured then but which now demands translucence. It's an imagined garden of earthly delight (and delirium), of flowers regrown by the seeds of our past and also of our stars.
