Ghost Hands
02:31
|
|
||
|
ghost hands burning the curtain
and pulling the strings
as the seraph sings of where next we are to go
clipping the eye and extending the mouth
we are headed south
there's been a miscalculation
the story is chosen
the party is frozen

Fission
04:40
|
|
||
|
An armed struggle between two wars
And a slipping span of retention
A jump into pools of attention
Free way to make an enemy
An arm struggles between two worlds
And the work can’t justify the cost
A lump in the throat of the lost
Freeways to dump the enemies
Into the dead skin ocean
Do you live in an office?
Do you love who you serve?
Do you live in your office?
What do you deserve?
A warm snuggle between two women
With finger guns in your ears
Unlike your good company
You can’t abort the mission
Do you live in the dead skin ocean?
Drowning in all of your actions?
Do you live in the desert?
Removed from the warring factions
And making fractions of worlds

G2A
02:31
|
|
||
|
Lose the touch, embrace the rush
Take in hush, nothing matters
Gray to alpha, stolen keys
Opened knees, nothing sadder
Working titles often stick
Changing is what makes us sick
Always sitting on the edge
Of all time
Sitting in a tiny room
Had to hang the Christmas lights
Just like every other night
For all time
Office noise, professional poise
Out of joys, broken patterns
Unknown voices, incorrect choices
Blasted poison, back to Saturn

The Yelling Wallpaper
02:42
|
|
||
|
I have found the ceiling
where the yelling wallpaper is peeling
and underneath revealing
a shrine for the departed healing
who's there couldn't hear the screaming
what's left as the tears start streaming
hope is not a straight line home but none of us are dreaming
light is not an arrow but at least it's slightly beaming

We Are The Triangles
02:45
|
|
||
|
I’m wearing red and black on my arm
That’s what was put there for me
For recognition and identification
For would-be murderers to see
You’re wearing pink and blue on your arm
We’ve been deemed a similar type of monster
In the words of the song
That we’re trying to get wrong
Says we hang at dawn
Leave our clothing on the lawn
We are the triangles
And we’re starting a fire
To keep ourselves warm
In this cold night before
Our revolution storm
Let’s start a new life
Let's start a new world

Belief
03:37
|
|
||
|
it takes years to build a fountain
it takes two days to burn the whole thing to the ground
what kind of person do you think you are?
biases rose, on with the shows
you don't have a clue when it benefits you
you're getting farther
what kind of person do you think you are?
what have you built of this to become?
a shrine for the surest of selves
you're heading farther down

Jack Of Legs
02:26
|
|
||
|
How do you stand so tall to send a message?
Someone needs their eyes to feel your shadow
Arrows give pause to the undrawn straws in the running
Burnt-in circles, dead grass in an oval
Dead deal with the headphone demon
They can’t hear you
Over and over
The sound of cold decision-making
Collar white for favor-taking
What are the odds that no one sees you coming?
Water inside the moat they keep around
Fabric over eyes to feign ignorance
Cotton in to block the echoed sound
Ordeal with the Jack of Legs
They don’t fear you
Over and over
The promise of a promised land
Gifted by a gifted hand

I Will Drift
02:08
|
|
||
|
you gave me too many chances and I abused them all
thinking this was who you really were
instinct bit and overtook my thoughts
knowing this seemed more and more like her
but things can change
wait it out and just stay sane
there will be a day
when you will care if I just drift away
experiments that may or may not work
efforts to expand my scope, try something new
I think I'm coping quite all right
why couldn't I have been like this with you?

Scrap Metal Boy
02:51
|
|
||
|
careless child with a death wish
standing right in front of the target
vessel for a mass of falling debris
breaking/splitting/cracking...on impact
nothing holding itself together
sinking deeper into the mud
dare you say for sure you care for him
as he attempts to self-destruct
scrap metal boy

101 Guitars
03:05
|
|
||
|
I heard your request
consider yourself blessed I remembered
but I think you're asking a lot for an inquiry after December
how could I please your encroaching disease of collection?
I don't know who gave you the infection
but since you started giving directions
I felt it mattered to make a correction
you're not getting all of the songs in the world
but I could gather 100 guitars and let you play along

Sleep Is A Weapon
02:53
|
|
||
|
sleep is a weapon used for control
to scope out a target, to burn another hole
fired like a child running down a train
jilted and stunned like a passive brain
tilt open the window as you're shot through it
middle of nowhere, you can't stake out forever
when the call comes, you're well as dead
and the blood pours through your head
and into your stomach

No One I Want
05:55
|
|
||
|
to be discovered
lighter than air
too passionate
to really care
there's no one I want
"more than you" is nothing
to draw a straighter line
not today, not ever
not in any point in time
what is this "love" I hear of?
a fiction to me
stone cold in a heat wave
or a widespread disease
to spend one life with one person
a futile exchange
most end before the one lives do
but no one finds it strange
