The Aisles 05:17
orioles hang among the telephone wires i'd be a liar if it wasn't so cruel spending your time arranging nickels and dimes i know it's hard but you must play by the rules watching the trails derail the picket fence markets i know these targets aren't of very much value you only needed a confidant have you forgotten what it means to be sane? is this a new friend, a best friend, or not? i will meet you by the parking garage lemonade stands run by the filth on their hands do you remember how things used to be fun? popcorn machines run by the risk of disease do you remember the salt on your teeth? pissing in cans because you'll do what you can the smell begins to burn out your eyelids you only needed a confidant have you forgotten what it means to be sane? is this a new friend, a best friend, or not? i will meet you by the parking garage roll the carpet cover up the fingerprints jump in circles registrate your confidence burn the folders contemplate your ignorance breed an angel no misery or suffering open angles opening the dissonance fear the aisles down the line with nitrogen rediscover how to intake oxygen redeliver your newborn self in retrospect

we'll climb twisted ladders to reach golden standards money plays no factor we can make them faster even if the wheels, they make us turn around the silencing of seals, they make us happy now and i don't even care about the turning out of this served on silver platters ready for disaster my hands torn and tattered my thoughts will meander even if the wheels, they make us turn around the silencing of seals, they make us happy now and i don't even care about the turning out of this we'll rule the world into the ground and then we'll feed them to the hounds so when they fall to their knees they will become one with the trees we'll climb endless ladders built in pretty patterns my voice filled with slander all the children scattered even if the wheels, they make us turn around the silencing of seals, they make us happy now and i don't even care about the turning out of this we'll rule the world into the ground and then we'll feed them to the hounds so when they fall to their knees they will become one with the trees hey, how, you know you got yourself into this one again and then you do it to yourself we'll rule the world into the ground and then we'll feed them to the hounds so when they fall to their knees they will become one with the trees and when the choirs begins to sing we will deliver to the king and set them down at the throne so we can cut

In Caves 04:34
oh boy, perception is the key oh fire, the shadows dance for me i awoke, to recognize an unfamiliar place i exposed myself into the puppet show parade tonight we'll pull the strings together these curtain walls won't hold forever the sun above the mountains head a freshening luster mellow and though the trees are long and dead leaves are still green and yellow oh child, dreams are what you eat oh liars, cutting up your teeth i misspoke when talking is a feat that isn't reached i'm a ghost that isn't dead but has yet to be seen tonight we'll pull the strings together these curtain walls won't hold forever the sun above the mountains head a freshening luster mellow and though the trees are long and dead leaves are still green and yellow and though the time for us has ended we will sleep for hours cause i awoke one day and i saw myself i said i better get away before i hurt myself well i only got a glimpse because i didn't wanna look i said a rape is a rape but they still misunderstood that time after time, if it's still in the books well a crime is a crime if the criminal's a crook well the question is whether we should guess for the answer or in the question the problem that started the whole matter

i just want to feel the sunrise let me understand the moonlight feel anything, feel anything at all teach me how to read the surface listen to the burning furnace feel anything, feel anything at all cool breeze, moons are glowing red breathe teas, follow to the shed lay down, river's rest your head maybe if i turn a table search for all the hidden labels on everything, search anything you find drown myself into a puddle the burning in my chest is subtle to feel anything, to feel anything at all i wish that things were easy but obviously i'll never get what i want it's only been like two weeks but it seems like it's been going on way to long cool breeze, moons are glowing red breathe teas, follow to the shed lay down, river's rest your head let's go to the telephone booth where i'll talk with myself and i'll try to get loose but i can't so i will, understand how to fill this glass canister where i take out the roots seeds breathe too, seeds breathe too way out way out way out way out

headless horses sway to ringing cellos i have spent my time within the gallows in your arms, we will never be the same holy roses dipped in chocolate fountains fondue remedies to heal the cut skin in your eyes, we will never be the same bury all my bones fill me up with stones see if i still float watching the towers devour these holes in this boat is it time for us to eat our supper pull our chairs out, let appendix rupture in your scars we will never be the same like a tyrant, we've got bloody fingers stretch these rubber gloves and send a signal in disguise, we will never look the same bury all my bones fill me up with stones see if i still float watching the towers devour these holes in this boat

Feed 05:12
lets perform a private operation duct tape the walls with plastic fabrication, to drown the noise i'll chop you up in cubes of meet, in piece by piece, the dogs to eat but don't forget it comes with a vacation, to paradise hey, you only wanted me to fall down to get to the middle, and throw it up again cut, just cut away upon this half cooked steak to the bloody middle, and let the juices stain elect yourself, your own inauguration loosen up your tie and learn of relaxation i'll cut your knees, in symmetry, 90 degrees, fold at the creases but please don't hold yourself on complications, what's to destroy? hey, you only wanted me to fall down to get to the middle, and throw it up again cut, just cut away upon this half cooked steak to the bloody middle, and let the juices stain step over the line just one more time for us to feast i don't have time for riddled lines and twisted leads step over the line, just take your time to feed the beast i don't have time for pity lies and blasted hey, you only wanted me to fall down to get to the middle, and throw it up again cut, just cut away upon this half cooked steak to the bloody middle, and let the juices stain

Animality 04:11
and i will wear a suit of rooms with vacant walls where colors bloom speaking with a subtle voice not enough to make a choice and i know that things will end this way through the chemicals, it's rising and we all fall but please don't forget to leave me stranded on the roof if only time creates itself a silver moon well please don't forget to leave me hanging on the roof i don't want to fall watch the wooden panels stray let the fabric tear away dancers run and children scream i've forgotten how to dream and i know that things will end this way through the chemicals, it's rising as we all fall but please don't forget to leave me stranded on the roof if only time creates itself a silver moon well please don't forget to leave me hanging on the roof i don't want to fall not to go out of line i will not comply
