a fork in the road below the fork in the sole sycamore tree the hand tilting my hips fits the glove that was left in the leaves the future tilts out alright in a wave I have yet to see and although her time was lost as light hips of a rose will emerge as the ghost of the gone she was toast so a toast to the gone to the ghost who emerged in the guise of a compass rose in my mind just this one time through the night dont cry cause your fingers split in five any hand will keep them together and our wooden teeth that bite into our roots will shoot into a younger forever forgot the way of my home on return to the fork at the sycamore tree a hand was severed and tethered to webs hanging blood in the leaves but oh her cut-out love rides on a wave pain that I’ll never see and although her eyes were storms at the time thoughts down the road made a stand she arose for the ghost in her mind wore freckles just like mine on the nose I wonder should I go left or right well she didnt give up at the drop of her diastole whats left of her life is a white glove thrown to the other side whats left of my life I feel I stole try but Ill never make up all I owe you as the guide to the other side cause I left you indebted forever hear laughter never get to tell you you were right dont cry cause your fingers split in five any hand will keep them together and our wooden teeth that bite into our roots will shoot into a younger forever

arboreal you can be just give me your nervous system arboreal we can be cutting through the nervous tension arboreal you can be just give me your nervous system arboreal we can be cutting through the nervous tensions between I keep it to myself for you might be a bit nervous knowing somebody out there wanted to touch your hair as much as I really do yesterday was read verbatim pages from the DSM-V I admit I regret my sentience sometimes somedays so full of feeling I can make a living selling my saliva to the sociopaths as a vaccine somedays affects found misplaced look inside all that empty space am I a shell of me? you told me life on the outside leaves a mark on the inside says its time to ring in the new year of hollow fears I took a page out of your bonzai abandoned better off stopping the wanting for feeling nothing or something arboreal you can be just give me your nervous system arboreal we can be cutting through the nervous tension arboreal you can be just give me your nervous system arboreal we can be cutting through the nervous tensions between

Tree Spirits 04:04
excavate my face to find iron wills on root will die when mining veins start caving in its too dark to see to where do I begin? course too fine to polish shine and papers only scraping by and now my wooden nickels spent on pockets of sawdust but wheres the face on it? what I needs a tree to climb to sing outside myself a while a song to tow out on a limb when under the path I walks a spirit wearing thin so fight the means to ends in sight and tries to make a mirror make light of this mangled situation cause silence says the most to you friend cause silence says the most to you friend cause silence says the most to you friend

Ether 05:05
I know you through my nightmares I caught em through thin air you always skip the ether in favor of the chair those braces make you smile then you put down your hair the timber line is more alive than garden dreams so I take only what I need of ether breeze I’ve never loved a thing that doesn’t frighten me I’ve never loved a comfort I could call my own easy no poison in your nightmares nightshade’s the iris night terrors we were just sitting there caught glazes in your stare the timber line is more alive than garden dreams so I take only what I need of ether breeze I’ve never loved a comfort I could call my own easy I’ve never loved a thing that doesn’t frighten me the timber line is more alive than garden dreams so I take only what I need of ether breeze I’ve never loved a thing that doesn’t frighten me I’ve never loved a comfort I could call my own easy (uproot your toes to the farthest they will go and you’ll tease out your soul ‘cause the concrete it dulls the sheet metal cold so it reflects no soul) (uproot your toes to the farthest they will go and you’ll tease out your soul just give up your home) it’s easy

color guard of cold leaves the autumn oak green to fools gold mines never letting go always a ritual right color guard of cold rouge running rogue up the cheekbones of mine love now let it go waiving the ritual rights even the evergreens succumb to some disease sometimes I know but I can’t let go so kill me deciduous if in the ritual midst take my pigments and paint the autumn bold

about

Mobilis Columbia, Missouri

Mobilis smash electric-acoustic paintings to beautiful bits in their basement particle accelerator.
What began as a bedroom experiment converting 19th century sci-fi into indie-pop quickly expanded its sonic and thematic scope.
Mobilis kicked off 2015 with the release of their first EP, “Arboreal”, a proof that bands needn’t sacrifice musical diversity to produce immersive, cohesive records.
