Put some chaos into the system
A piece of jungle, set your blood thrumming
...
You make this your game, life and menace twinned
You play it the same, this vicious dance, we’re in
And I couldn't care less, if I lose or win
All I need, to lick your blood from my claws and grin
…
Add a little chaos to the system
For all this order’s suffocating
Put some wild in the world’s wisdom
Jungle that reverberates like a string
Put a little chaos in the system
Naked in the dark tense as a spring
Add some wild to the world’s wisdom
Make my tail lash and my heart sing
...

Racing Heat

I don’t know what prey I hunt
Or where this trail I tread could lead
A path I blaze for my own life’s blood
To chase down and take all that I need
all that I need...
Where have I gone to? When did I start?
Where’s my finish line? Will it tear me apart?
...
Flow like a river, racing the heat
When dawn arrives I’ll be far away from here
I’ll chase all the herds, I’ll claw every tree
Till there’s nowhere left to run to
A mocking voice, follows me
Singing: mighty hunter,
Why did you take that which should never be taken?
Picked yourself a battle which cannot be won?
The course I create, roaming, running
They'll haunt my tracks but I won't look back
Dreaming a line through the dusk into another night
And waking to marvel at how I am still alive
...
Once, I lived in their world
Once, I gave them my world
They threw me away, they made my tail curl
I'm naked with nothing to run to
but all that I need...
Where have I gone to? What did I start?
Where’s my finish line? They've torn me apart!

Diamond Feather

You don't exist, you move too fast through this place
You're so hard and solid, race on solar winds through open space
As galaxies crumble, and smash together
You left me just one feather
...
If you could trade machines for wings
Would you streak through the sky like furred lightning?
If I could trade my hands for wings
Would you let me find you?
Will you stop morphing can you stop changing
Will you stop changing, changing
Will you stop changing can you stop changing
Wolf's feather, changing, changing
I can't stop changing, I can't stop
I'm lost in an odd beast that must be me
There's no-one else for it to be
...

On storm winds where do you fly tower guardian?
Will you realize the strength in your hide
When you think you're so incomplete on the outside?
Hawks and ravens, they swirl like leaves
Hawks and ravens, they speak to me
Twitching this tail betrays anxieties
Rising up high on the wind
anything but free
Hawks and ravens calling
as I'm blown like a leaf
Hawks and ravens calling
"slay your master, fly free"

On Stormy Seas
04:25

You seem haunted, left alive, by someone lethal
You would leave your ocean behind, for one much deeper
You’re the spotted tree-beast, striking from the ferns
Unchaining lands from whence you know, you can’t return
The power never fails
If you just steer with your tail
…
On stormy seas, join with me
Take us, not home
But where we need to be
Air blowing free, ours to breathe
On windy seas
Let this wet world sing
The worst of men or best of monsters
We choose our shapes
To make our escapes
The deepest dive, the highest mountain
We won't dig our tomb
Just for the monsoon
When your land's so broken
Shape yourself for the ocean
Learn and you'll never fail
Just steer with your tail
...
You never can fail
Storm’s energy runs off you like trails
The power never fails
Singing with the dolphins and the whales

Vertigo Fox Winnipeg, Manitoba
Vertigo Fox is a band made up of one mysterious, probably catlike creature.
A mysterious creature who, tired of
hearing the same themes in music year in and year out, decided to create something altogether stranger.
Vertigo Fox enjoys long walks and hikes, though the cats he inevitably encounters always tell him they're prowls.
