Sinner
04:08
|
|||
|
The Forest floor is a blanket of ash and my hands are stained soot black
if only i were a nihilist with meaning to lack
it's all out there i'm just looking in the wrong spots
speed limits are a suggestion- smother your heat and gain my breath again
sorry, baby- i just don't know what's up with me
You know? I swear this has happened before.

Bird Bones
02:32
|
|||
|
You ever feel like you're narrowly avoiding a dark fate?
The worst is yet to come and I'm too late- always too late.
I think the sky is falling
I'm content with just watching
I'm content without fighting
I think the sky is falling
the sun is out and shines like a gem but feels like a miracle
weakness witnessed in your fully eclipsed pupils
she says she's got a theory that my bones are hollow
says i bruise like fruit but never rot out

Sleep
04:34
|
|||
|
I kept the quarter from the turnstyle and rode for free
dropped my hand and ran through clouds away from me
undone glasses screw in the reflection of your eyes i see
another lonely kid running late with nowhere to be
everybody's always saying everything
i hide in the corners of your dreams
i get high, yeah higher in my sleep
i don't want your sympathy beside me

Time
03:21
|
|||
|
If they held a funeral I doubt anyone would show up
so cremate what remains of me and spread me where the sun
meets the Mississippi under the bridge, my distant memory
"Oh God, what a bummer- I'm so sorry!"
Rock Island dirt must be so lonely
I'll get it done, I'll get it done
just give me some time- just give me some time

New Violence
03:03
|
|||
|
You fell from such great heights
like sudden rain from a summer sky
regulating creation like a victimised God
I got more the less I thought
I got less than I could ever want
I hid you from the sun and the moon
and got locked in your Scorpio tomb
shackled upside down by her legs in your room
brain hemmorage of the womb
Less sex, less violence

Perfect Circles
03:55
|
|||
|
I'm walking toward her with my eyes closed
permanent perfect circles incised and incensed
"it's getting colder and darker by the second, you know"
and the fog is clearing out the streets
now all that's left is subtle petrified heart beats
frozen solid and silent save for the chatter of teeth-
release! release!
the street now quiet and dim
Living in still silence again-
they're killing on the corners near where you live
and you're blindfolded following residual presences
and you're praying for release! release! release!
oh darling, it never ends if it never begins
I'm afraid the disease is spreading
release
the streets now quiet and dim
the fog's still rolling in
release! release! release!

Dissociation
07:30
|
|||
|
The sea will swallow us up
It's too deep and dark to see
sinking like dew on morning leaves
shaking, choking - overdose of apathy
comfort can not be enough
this is everything i know
this is everything
i'm always talking in circles with you
a short leash - a shorter fuse
the woods are dense and dark
have you ever been this lost?
can you feel their spirits rising up?
this is everything
this is everything
this is everything
this is everything
it's forever and this is all there is
this is everything
this is everything I know
