If We Are Here

by Undone

Michael Reilly Undone are adventurously enigmatic, surprisingly sparse and artistically challenging standard conventions and genres. Slow, shuffling beats, spoken word, and moments of pure pop/rock feature here – and it all works. Favorite track: Mimi (character assassination).

    The Sun T was designed by Andrey Janevski and further designed and brought to print by Andrej Marjanovic. A third of the money this T will make will go to our friends in Ukraine ~ Nameless (UA, Ternopil)
    it is a special limited edition and we are running out of shirts quickly
    The T runs small, so an M would be like an S. All Tz are black with print in either white or dawn

My plane was searching for you from star to star, Like a thirsty hummingbird seeking nectar. Your potion made my belly dance The rose’s thorns made my feet tap. You lifted yourself just to teach me how to fly. I believe your questions more than my replies. Silence travels in sound I forgive the truth when I see it in your eyes.

Candles 08:14
CANDLES Home is a hot air balloon locked by snipers from the clouds. Home is a coffin with a door, and with windows and bars. Home is a matchbox. The matches are cocked inside. Home is an isolation cell where the rats walk by. Home is an aquarium where someone holds my head down. Home is A sanatorium with no exits. Don’t misunderstand - It’s not an angel’s crown, It’s a loop hanging above my head. No, it’s not a halo nor a circle of light. It’s just a simple rope floating above my skull. And the necklace around my throat is not a jewel. Wrong again, you fool. These anklets at my base, are not a treasure, and the gold is not gold, it’s iron.

Ivritush 02:52
עבריתוּש תמיד הברזתי לנאמנות שלך מצטערת. לא נתתי לך לגדל אותי לשכוח מילה ועוד מילה ועוד המילים מחליקות כגרעיני לימון בורחות אל ג'ונגל הסלט מישהו אמר שחייבים להרוג שפות זרות להקריב אותן למענךְ אבל הוא לא נתן עצות לאלו ששפת האם שלהם, היא זָרוּת. שפה רפה מגששת אחר מילים מחטטת בלוע חמוץ, בחניכיים אדומים החתכים שבאצבעותיה מתחטאים במיץ לימון במקום בִּדְיוֹ סתרים. Hebrew My Pet Translated to English by Eppie Bat-Ilan I've always blown off your loyalty Sorry. Wouldn't let you raise me Forgetting one word and then another And more Words slippery As lemon seeds Slide away into the jungle of the salad Someone said We should kill the foreign languages Sacrifice them for your sake But he gave no advice To those for whom foreignness Is mother tongue. Limp tongue groping for words Poking a sour throat, reddened gums Its bruised fingers sterilized by lemon juice instead of invisible ink.

Dripping 06:14
Dripping (Riding of the Blade of Destiny) Dripping Scattered Leaking through the holes Broken Can not gather All the pieces any more People Stuck inside her Stabbing fifty time Pull them out and She'll be pouring Her blood will irrigate their lives Riding of the blade of destiny Rocking on the knife to calm down Knight of the karma brushes She is never to be found Sweeping Random visions Removing Helpful thoughts Luck is rushing Horseshoes knocking Someone else's heart pounds in her Shattered Ever spilling Organs fall apart Slices Never building It is all way too late now Riding of the blade of destiny Rocking on the knife to calm down Knight of the karma brushes She is never to be found

Too True 05:56
Too True based on a poem by Dolores Atanasova Why and How What are all these faces I've read them before What are all these places Don't show them no more All these empTV's How blind can we be Little do we see Taking it no more I raise my eye to forever My hand stops at wherever What's pain to you Can you feel something new? A feeling here and there Catching thoughts in vain Words on top of words And all these words again

Simanya 05:31
כן יהי רצון (סימניה) אתה יודע - יודע שאמצא אותך. אתה יודע שכשאמצא אותך אלך לאיבוד. אתה יודע שתראה אותי מבפנים, אתה יודע שתראה אותי מצד לצד. עמוק עמוק בּקֶרב הדפים אתה נמצא. הכריכה שלי עוטפת סביבך לא קרוב, גם לא רחוק מדי. כעת אתה רואה את כל השקרים הלבנים מחליקים בתוך האפלה שלי. אתה-אני וכל הלילות הלבנים מנצנצים לכבוד השיגעון שלך. לכודה תחת עיניך החותכות עוד ארקוד, מסביב ישתחררו סודות וירחפו עלי הכותרת שלהם יעופפו בבת-שחוקך. אתה יודע - יודע שאמצא אותך. אתה יודע - כשאמצא אותך אלך לאיבוד BOOKMARK You know, you know I’ll find you. You know I’ll get lost when I do. You know you’ll see me from inside. You know you’ll see me from side to side. Deep, deep between the pages, that’s where you are. My cover closes around you, not close, not too far. You see all the white lies sliding in my darkness. You-me all the white nights shining for your madness. Trapped under your cutting eyes, I shall be dancing. Secrets will open and fly. Their petals will blow in your laughter. You know, you know I’ll find you. You know I’ll get lost when I do.

Cuckoo Clock 07:12
Through the screen I trickle in The space between the words There I flow The clock-hands carve you on my skin The dots tattoo a tickle on my Soul Through the dam you're coming in The space between the grains there you go The falcon's trail is guessing me From tree to tree it sways before it know Listen to the murmur Time makes as it draws our lives Let my tears be your pebbles Don't blink your lakey eyes Stay still don't move forever Such a quiet game we'll play We'll see hair grows together Eternity in just one day. Where fingers make the creeks and arms Become the bays of every misty shore Where freckles mix with sand And lips with kiss horizon rises up once more The dam collapsed the promise sank The highest tide has carried us away The boats have sailed and gone again The water washed the words to cram the bay

In the morning at four Death came once more It had its hair Just like yours. In the morning at four Death came once more It held me as strong As your magnetic power. It strangles Without touching It faces Without looking It makes me tremble Without moving It makes me smile Without knowing Like You Y O UUUUUUU In the morning at four Death came once more It drank from your glass And stared right through the windows It strangles Without touching It faces Without looking It makes me tremble Without moving It makes me smile Without knowing Like You Y O UUUUUUU In the morning at four When death came once more I pretended I'm dead. Just like you.

Mimi (character assassination) I have been trying to talk to you, but you are so loud, you can't hear I have been trying to live with you, but you are so large in here Why does it have to be you or me Why does it have to be you or me Why is it so Mi-mi I know you want my end I know you want to be me instead Oh Mimi Again you kill kill kill me Again you are breathing all the air Again you make me see that I am blind Serial killer Don't you dare make it look like suicide Oh Mimi Again you kill kill kill
