Black Begins 03:46

Music by James North & Lix Bacskay. Words by Lix Bacskay © March 2008. When black begins And breathing in and out sets in I don't know where you came from I just know that you're gone Pistol in my mind I found you Holding up the light I found you Water in your eyes But tonight We'll lay it on, we'll light it up, we'll bring it back... Tonight We'll lay it on, we'll light it up, we'll bring it back to life When truth descends And beating of this pulse kicks in Can't recall how it started I think I know how it ends Pistol in my mind I found you Holding up the light I found you Water in your eyes But tonight We'll lay it on, we'll light it up, we'll bring it back... Tonight We'll lay it on, we'll light it up, we'll bring it back to life When seconds turn Into years and then the lifetimes burn I saw your beacon in the dying dawn I woke up with my best dress on Pistol in my mind I found you Black begins the night I found you Holding up the light I found you Water in your eyes But tonight We'll lay it on, we'll light it up, we'll bring it back... Tonight We'll lay it on, we'll light it up, we'll bring it back... Tonight We'll lay it on, we'll light it up, we'll bring it back... Tonight We'll lay it on, we'll light it up, we'll bring it back to life

Human 03:26

Words & Music by Lix Bacskay © February 2007 I’m so human I live my life online I got my skin on backwards I’m on the wire I’ve been hoping For a singular line I’ve been waiting for the system To click and rewind I got two strong hands, if you fetch me a nail I got long toes and a twist in my tail But I, can’t do nothing ‘bout this jones for you I’m so human, I’m so human... City streets talk to me like they know my disease Human heat running through me ...running through me I feel the sweet sensation of your heart beat Running through me at velocity I’m just a shiver On the tip of your tongue I’m a word unspoken Where a deadline belongs And if you break it Before the morning comes Illegal operation Won’t you click and be done I got two sharp eyes like there’s nowhere to hide I got two of every animal and one locked inside But I can’t do nothing ‘bout this jones for you I’m so human, I’m so human... City streets talk to me like they know my disease Human heat running through me ...running through me I feel the sweet sensation of your heart beat Running through me at velocity (...I feel your heart beat) I’m illusion I’m your shoelace untied I’m the Sweet Caroline to your Hot August Night I’m the neon In your Tokyo sky I’m the rain that escapes As the sunlight arrives I got two for the show and there’s no way to know I got three to get ready and nowhere to go ‘Cause I, can’t do nothing ‘bout this jones for you I’m so human, I’m so human... City streets talk to me like they know my disease Human heat running through me ...running through me I feel the sweet sensation of your heart beat Running through me.... City streets talk to me like they know my disease Human heat running through me ...running through me I feel the sweet sensation of your heart beat Running through me at velocity

Breaking Days 03:34
lyrics

Words and Music by Lix Bacskay © April 2007 It’s not an ordinary teapot It’s not china, it’s a virgin vessel waiting to be dropped And when it shatters in the half light Flocks of birds and long-toothed mice come out to pick it up Slow chimes in single file ring longer Breaking days will only make them stronger There’s no desire but to surrender No requirement to be wholer than the hole from which you crawl And when you kneel it makes you bolder Don’t look upright for the heavens may ascend and leave you… Small dimes in single lines pay longer Breaking bread will only make them hunger Slow chimes in single file ring longer Breaking days will only make them stronger These aren’t my ordinary fingers They can’t touch it, they can’t tear it from the page or from the skin Come to fight or come to feel it They give and rest between the notes, they quiver wanting to begin Slow chimes in single file ring longer Breaking days will only make them stronger

Pieces 03:42

Music by James North & Lix Bacskay. Words by Lix Bacskay. © May 2009 Pieces of words Not like karaoke Phasers fire But we're above the atmo And if... I could build a city with you There wouldn't be a sound But for the air breathing in and out Like new And... I would die Just for a moment If you were at my side I would fight Upside of day break To keep the night alive Pieces of life Not unlike silence Punches fly But we're above the violence And if... I could build a riddle for you There wouldn't be a rhyme But for the air breathing in and out Like new And... I would die Just for a moment If you were at my side I would fight Upside of day break To keep the night alive I would die Just for a moment If you were at my side I would fight Upside of day break To keep the night alive

Music by James North & Steve Pope. Words by Lix Bacskay © June 2009. Scientists all in a row Lily white coats in stereo Counting lights and frequencies Confining supernovas burning up the night when you're with me I blew away there was a white light An open door but it was alright You were the news some kind of symmetry I was the drama Kabuki theatre comedy A painted face beneath the spotlight An open book Could read you all night You were the news some kind of symmetry I was the drama The in between Journalist at the window Filing cabinets, radio Marking words in dictionaries To write a story on the way you look when you're with me I blew away there was a white light An open door but it was alright You were the news some kind of symmetry I was the drama Kabuki theatre comedy A painted face beneath the spotlight An open book Could read you all night You were the news some kind of symmetry I was the drama The in between... I blew away There was a white light An open door But it was alright You were the news Some kind of symmetry I was the drama Kabuki theatre comedy A painted face Beneath the spotlight An open book Could read you all night You were the news Some kind of symmetry I was the drama Kabuki theatre comedy

Words & Music by Lix Bacskay © January 2007 I try to speak to you Nothing comes out right So far removed From your humid night I can’t get to you Even if I flew tonight Right by the Priestess And her watchful eye She’ll never see me coming She’ll never see me go She’ll only hear the humming As is grows and takes a hold hmmmm mmm hmmmm mmm You hear me in the silence You watch me in the dawn I see you when there’s nothing And no one there at all I can’t get to you Even if I flew tonight Right by the Demons And their boot black eyes They’ll never see me coming They’ll never see me go They’ll only hear the humming As is grows and takes a hold hmmmm mmm hmmmm mmm hmmmm mmm hmmmm mmm I’m a deadman for a blues scale Between the flesh and the strings Even on a bad day Your fingers make me wanna sing

Fable 03:30

Words and music by Lix Bacskay © December 2006 I am a Mustang and my wheels are spinning in the dusty dirt I am a shiny thing of power, useful goodness and of worth I am freedom from a stationary life and from the hurt I am what separates the dream from the machine, I am her I am her I am the keys in the ignition of revolution's birth I am the smell of oil and leather, the metaphor of verse I am the rumble of the righteous, I am voices unrehearsed I am the life inside the living and the souls of all who were I am her I am a dealer of desires beneath the bedclothes of unrest I am a grand excuse for conflict, an amendment to the first I am religion in the absence of the thought of something worse I am unleaded and unburdened of the future, I am her I am her I am the excess of a generation lost without the earth I am the ancient fire still burning in the bellies of the cursed I'll drain the oceans and the deserts as they supplement my thirst I am the blind man's cane, the headless horseman and the hearse I am her I am a Mustang and my wheels are spinning in the dusty dirt I am a shiny thing of power, useful goodness and of worth I am freedom from a stationary life and from the hurt I am what seperates the dream from the machine, I am her I am her

Words and Music by Lix Bacskay © February 2007 Sometimes I try to pretend That I don’t know you You’re just a spoon that I bend in the night All these means and their ends They make us older And everyone else is just tryin' to get high Feels like I got no brains and no command over These emotions and my hands I hear the keys click and my wheels stick I just wanna get back from where… I got no brains and no command over These emotions and my hands I hear the keys click and my wheels stick I just wanna get back to basics Some days I try to defend My right to burn this You’re just the ash that I left in the fire All these tears that have dried They make us colder When everyone else is still tryin' to get high Feels like I got no brains and no command over These emotions and my hands I hear the keys click and my wheels stick I just wanna get back from where… I got no brains and no command over These emotions and my hands I hear the keys click and my wheels stick I just wanna get back to basics

Music by James North. Words by Lix Bacskay. © April 2009 Wax and feathers drop to the ground These things that go up It's only a matter of time Before they fall back down Fickle and fabric we move to the sound Of crayon to page On thoughts drawn of flying machines We're floating on down to the ground Of evils and kisses I dreamt things anew We folded our paper planes and we flew Like heroes of circumstance King and Queen of a passing glance Lions and tigers told tales and told truths Floating on paper planes I fell for you My hero of circumstance I'm the Queen of your passing glance Hearts and pennies drop without sound These pages we fold Are only a matter of fact When they tumble on down to the ground Of evils and kisses I dreamt things anew We folded our paper planes and we flew Like heroes of circumstance King and Queen of a passing glance Lions and tigers told tales and told truths Floating on paper planes I fell for you My hero of circumstance I'm the Queen of your passing glance Lions and tigers told tales and told truths Floating on paper planes I fell for you My hero of circumstance I'm the Queen of your passing glance

Medollic Brisbane, Australia

Once upon a time in the Land of the Long White Cloud, at the very bottom of the world, there lived a girl with a guitar and a vivid imagination. One day upon her travels she met two boys, one with a room filled with wondrous musical instruments and hands that knew how to play them, and the other with a simple pair of wooden sticks with which he could spark rhythms that made the world turn in time. ... more
