Intro
00:44
|
|

open the curtain for this magic show
lights will be spilled and secrets will blow
your mind away with gravedigging honor
and brand-name loyal trickery
you’ll watch the illusions dangle about
and you’ll leave never having thought about
the meaning of it all
now let me introduce the star

she speaks to a lonely mountain
it’s awfully cold these days
he stands on the peak alone
takes a lot to jump down
she screams in the hopes he hears her
he’s paramount to the cause
he hopes he can ignore her
and freeze to death
white metal clad she’s trying to be glad she found him
but you lose that charm missing half of your arm in an avalanche
he’s feeling rocky today and hopes she can go away
a land of zen inside his head
violet as his frostbite
a minor cold meets hurricane winds and that’s their heaven
meet an arguing couple and it’s well well past 11
grounded somehow in figure but their words, they carry knives
they want to get past this but they want to stay alive
they’re paramount and lost
they’re power mountain lost

Zeus In Orbit
01:17
|
|
||
we talked to Zeus in orbit
about omniscience
he said it’s lonely out there
cause no one invites him to their conversations
it must be miserable, god
listening everywhere
it’s a built-in surveillance state
when the father is everywhere
watch all the little humans run
you never have time for the kids
we talked to Zeus in orbit
about his deadbeat ways
he never sees his children
kid gods run away

Needle Stars (Version 1)
02:45
|
|
||
when you find god on your patio
count your needle stars
luck is on your side tonight
when your kids have the lawn darts
they’ll be seeing needle stars
and you’ll awake to find growth
memory pulls
at every heartstring and your veins
headstrong illusion
strawberry kiwi love
down all the zealous lines
eye opening precision
in every needle time
slept in front of a tunnel
found the light at its end
and it looked back
lept in front of a pickup
life flashed before me
ignored me

Like Skydivers
03:02
|
|
||
like skydivers we fast approach ground
like skydivers we circle around
head up chin down
like academic scholars nothing new is found
every sense on high
every burned stick bright
light sky, bury us in heat snow
where the west ones cannot go
light sky, bury us in heat snow
and the east ones cannot throw
it back

How To Work A Crowd
01:18
|
|
||
what’s the fucking matter
bitter that your friends got big
why on earth are you surprised
they’re easy on the ears and know how to work a crowd
it’s all performance science
doesn’t mean you can’t sing along
might as well stop moping and watching from afar
a problem often remedied by coming along
|

grass grows in limbo today
mist over the horizon
blaring signal
source unknown
figure obscured
but at least I’m not in limbo alone
you’re my resident daisy cutter
everything in my life, blown to bits
you’re my resident one another
right up to the end in our limbo shit
shapes, buildings I’ve seen before
here yet I don’t know where
grayscale, monochrome
too far out to locate home
even leaning on its walls
you never hear me call
is this a way to exist?
blink and reset, never missed
grass grows
how come? I don’t know
misty days forever
how come I can’t let you go?

Dust
02:17
|
|
||
as time drips down
like rain on a windshield
like static falling snow
we reflect upon ourselves
a light wash over
scrubbing behind the ears
and the tires
we’re so tired
we are all dust
in the grand scheme
vice and lust
nothing they mean
we are all dust
in the long term
we will make mistakes
and will never learn
one more discovery
find this last piece for me
one more epiphany
of forward momentum
