funny (intro)
02:33
|

|
your hands left soaking wet, i would like some room to breathe
"breathe!"
look at you turning inwards, sparing no breath for me
said "funny isn't this just like you?
funny how your temperament changed
funny isn't this just like you?"
the outcome's always the same
how could your pride be absent? you're the one pulling the strings
strings!
each part of you and me lies alike in entropy
said "funny isn't this just like you?
choking on your own chains
funny isn't this just like you?"
the outcome's always the same

swallowed sword

this is no way to behave
an antelope with a bite in her leg
awful
scrambled guts and brain
the wrong blood in every vein
awful
but there's a time and place for you
though the means have been misconstrued
i wanted more than i could do
there's a guillotine with your name printed on the edge of it's frame
swallowed the sword that burst through you
down to the open callous picked off
you're following means of no escape
god, i don't know why you chose this starless night
and i got all the awful messages, reaped all benefits
left no bread to break
god, who let you turn the earth and pour it dry?
i found out why the seas which you emerge from receded into me
and this conduct begs the question of our posterity
as if i'd kiss this hollowed floor
what was that for?
i watched the sun set, you were the one who pulled it down
candidly i thought you were waiting for the one who found you out
it's a cardinal sin under someone else's skin
these are recent revelations, and i can't wait to begin
but what of the one who found you out?
what of the one who let you down;
down to the open callous picked off
you're following means of no escape
god, i don't know why you chose this starless night
and i got all the awful messages, reaped all benefits
left no bread to break
god, who let you turn the earth and pour it dry?
swallowed the sword that burst through you
what was i supposed to do?

long pressed pillow kiss
03:01
|
|||
|
catching up forever but still wide awake
spinning down the interstate
found your three wishes but turned them away
you and i are the same
bring out your dead, you and i are still friends
if i buried your likeness and found you instead
you and i don't have to make amends
later, i'm off to bed
there are no places but distance remains
between the blips in time and space
the same door you opened has weathered your face
they all treat you the same
but i wonder if you've heard tell-
if there is one i'm going to hell
on behalf of the selves i have given a long pressed pillow kiss
bring out your dead, you and i are still friends
if i buried your likeness and found you instead
you and i don't have to make amends
later, i'm off to bed
with one soft kiss i'm frothing at the mouth
you can pick up the pieces you found
and put them back inside out

every light on earth
03:06
|

every head turned the same way
we all occupy the same space
every string since came to fray
i'm afraid of the stones i've placed
if it's a gamble, i'll call
we're all evil after all
if i don't receive my retribution in time
i'll find a catch, we can have ourselves a life
if i could be every thorn i've pressed in your spine
your weary hands, i could press them into mine
but i won't
i've been floating in the cambrian sea
i've been having such awful dreams
in dejection veiled as apathy
weren't you the one who was behind the sheet?
but if it's a gamble, i'll call
we're all evil after all
if i don't receive my retribution in time
i'll find a catch, we can have ourselves a life
if i could be every thorn i've pressed in your spine
your weary hands, i could press them into mine
every light on earth lit up at once
every hand on earth was yours to touch

wicked as these heavens get
i hadn't seen real evil till you made me understand
a call to forsaken eschatology inbound
everywhere i go, i hear the sharpened sound
hey you, weird avarice, we meet again
heard you befell some awful fate
hey you, weird avarice but to what end
could you be the one that did me in?
judgment descends in it's own way
that no senses could ever explain
till then i'll follow the cue cards, hunter brandishing a knife
there is no way we're getting out alive
judgment descends in it's own way
that no senses could ever explain
till then i'll follow the cue cards, hunter brandishing a knife
there is no way we're getting out alive
i am horrified of you

here lies a caveat in practice
the greatest storm i've ever seen
heaven and her riflemen laid fire on our wicked land
hell with his mouth wrapped around
here lie the sons you have abandoned
six stand here, hands empty and weak
heaven and her riflemen put fire in our wicked hands
your cruel messenger said to me
"jonah your blood tastes like sugar
jonah your blood tastes so sweet
jonah, i will pull you under
i know the water makes you weep-
but i can't let you leave"
so save your wounded pride
has humility since cast you aside?
lay on your wounded side
let's keep this between the lord and i
said "if it's an angry god you wanted, i will happily oblige"
then from the mast i saw something rise
here lies the morbid fate we're given
how our bodies give way to the earth
heaven and her riflemen speak curses till the bitter end
but we ourselves are guilty of far worse
"jonah none can stop this hunger
jonah none will wash your feet
jonah i will pull you under
rot inside of me
jonah your blood tastes like sugar
jonah your blood tastes so sweet
jonah i will pull you under
i know the water makes you weep
jonah lay your heart beside you
jonah you are so naive
jonah i will pull you under
i know the water makes weep
but i can't let you leave
down here it's dark, it's too dark for god to see"
here lies my body in his stomach
here lie my bones between his teeth
heaven fell on top of us, reduced our bodies into dust
what says the great whale swallowing me?

javelin

who was that you said was knocking all your statues down?
do you fear him?
who was that you said was pulling all of your hair out?
yeah, i fear him
but we're only human for so long
frankly, i'm impressed that you could do so wrong
but we're only human for so long
a wave of your hand and it's gone
and it's gone
who was that i met flaunting his bloodied hands around?
have you seen him?
who was that i stood over with cold steel in my mouth?
yeah, i've seen him
but we're only human for so long
frankly, i'm impressed that you could do so wrong
but we're only human for so long
a wave of your hand and it's gone
and it's gone
he said not to be so wasteful
minced my guts with a javelin

bones like drums
03:09

clattering on, you are impossible
collapsing beams at the carnival, i felt the crash and all
i learned this all too long ago, in the drought i flail about
cause i earned this atrophy in the snow
and if it's all i will ever know, i'll fold
the judgmental sound of a distant stereo
harsh white noise running ear to ear
if i can't be well i'd rather disappear into your cold arms
i burned this brand across my own skin, in this doubt i flail about
cause i'm paranoid, so i'm letting you win
and if it's all i will ever know, i'll fold
the judgmental sound of a distant stereo
far deeper than this gauze can go
so, i think i know who's really in control
we'll ride the ferry tonight
and we'll burn in red moonlight
we'll journey out of sight
starboard into the palest white
played my bones like drums at the funeral
the judgemental sound of a distant stereo

tender as a wound with bone exposed
where the fault lies i would be hard pressed to know
fester, with my back bent wide
you can pull apart strange matter left inside
would i be turned away from heaven if i found somewhere to hide?
something horrible is on my trail tonight
followed your star map so closely you didn't notice that it ends
open wide cause this is where the sheet descends
it was you all along, reach a hand out to someone
cause i thought that i left you in eden, but here we are six feet apart
it's been so long that you look like you've seen a ghost
and god knows i would know
i have been scrambled in miasma for so long
you look like you've seen a ghost
passing through the floor
that you could open up your lungs and perish on
has it been that long?
you have become unkind
you have an option here but it's not one that you'll like
"just one more song"
you waste my time
but it's not as invaluable as i had thought i would come to find
so it's been you all along, the directions were all wrong
i swear i let you die in eden with a stake to fall upon
it's been so long
i can hardly ever rest with the way you loom over my bed
so i dreamt i became a beacon and i laid your grip to rest
every light on earth lit up in my palm
so i thrust my fist through your head until you looked like someone i knew too well
hand vivisected by glass
i met my glance distorted by the chaos through the cracks
i awoke with a body, still two arms, same two hands
like a still photo, unmoving in the shadows where you stand
hateful, awful, ugly, raw disdain
your gaze extends over me all the same
but i swear to god, i heard-
"holy, holy, holy
holy, holy, holy"
but there was no relief
there was only fear

take me from the throes of evil
i know it when i see it and it's here
kisses on the foreheads of the devils
who stand in single file when i'm near
no god could save you now
no god could save you now
walk the crowded path to the middle
i'll meet you there but i can dry no tears
when lights are lowered i can still see you
unweathered by the consequence you feared
no god could save you now
no god could save you now
you sold me out
but i don't blame you, after all i did the same
strike me down
you won't live with the burdens you became
the numbers just don't add up
no god could save you now
no god could save you now
no god could save you now
no god could save you now
strike me down
