Boltsnapper

Have you ever walked across a bridge and found that a pair of lovers have engraved their names onto a padlock and fastened it onto the fence surrounding the walkway, as a symbol of their everlasting love?
I see this regularly whilst commuting by foot across the Sydney Harbour Bridge.
It’s all well and good that they do this… but have they ever stopped to think about what will happen the day the council worker comes along with a set of boltcutters and snaps away at their love?
A young man
His sleeve without a guard
Validating all he’s ever known
A young girl
She waves a kindred arm
Letters on the lock she draws

The Tree That Took My Love
November 23rd, 2008 Posted 11:04 pm
*you can download a demo recording of this song here
Lay me down in fields of green
The summer sun, it tastes as sweet as you
Fruits and flowers surround our dream
Our wish for native beauty has come true
Grounded now I heard you spoke
Your burrowed seeds, your barren throat
Godforsaken tears, they choke from you
Our undergrowth is drying up
And I’ve had enough of this
Photosynthetic mindfuck
Burn it down, the branches wasting
Ashen ground incineration
Leaves of brown reciprocating
Resin from our hearts
Wrath of life reduced to stumps
A hand for hand, a trunk for trunk
It’s killing me, this tree that took my love
