The Dial 04:15
adjourn the all incumbent cries i'm fixated on a certain dial that represents and misinterprets everything we see as perfect while and while the crows stood still like plastic bags covered in fur and angel hairs thrown in the bunch a battery between two magnets time to pick your first new born son I am a fool, as I wait for the tides to pick up with my feet in the sand, I cry even when the knife's in my palms I am the one, getting slain on the kitchen table are you happier yet? running everlasting laps sugar water running from the tap I found happiness in greed sheets and sheets of golden plaster I'd touch the sun if I didn't know better time to pick your new first born son I am a fool, whose been waiting for the tides to pick up with my feet in the sand, I cry even when the knife's in my palms I am the one, getting slain on the kitchen table are you happier yet? sheets and sheets of golden plaster I'd touch the sun if I didn't know better if i didn't know better

Halo 02:41
I like the way things move a quiet hum evokes a churning ruse subtle thoughts, the choir starts to flirt cue eluding ambience and muse my halo bleeds into this world of angel wreathes on every door oh my halo bleeds into the hungry lambs will never leave the zoo yet their mutter is provocative and cruel my halo bleeds into this world of angel wreathes on every door I stumble as I roam the neighbors lawn well oh, my halo bleeds

Like Violins 05:13
born on the edge into the estuary a slow descend I left my senses at the door a heavy rain what is even happening? do you hear the preacher smack his muddy lips? as we corrupt sick ligaments engagement rings on parcel worms and then beneath the dirt, my fingers squirm like violins, they're cutting in a wave and while my limbs are growing short I play pretend like someone's watching from the shore but I can not leave these ropes are out of reach hold your own, while I feed the ghosts that i have left behind, in other lives I didn't try to run, I didn't try to run I swear, i'd never leave and you call this home, all i see is cemeteries and the family room is an obituary like violence, the cradles here I looked into the microscope to find that everything is dead or alone it starts to really hurt as I scream, these walls have ears but they're not listening the vultures are circling in flight the cue cards are turning the vending machines have started on fire tonight, i'm only screaming i'm lying here for hours but I barely breath in the corner of the room, to myself, i mutter and repeat it's not my fault

ripped from their beds the newspapers blankets scattered in a mess don't blame yourself just blame the weather a good samaritan who are you? what are you? lets laminate these dirty dishes and hang them on the wall would you litter your soul if nobody noticed just to hold your own who are you? what are you? how far will craved mouths wander in the burial grounds? see how your paws turn into casket ladles I just wanna go, fishing either this or drown whose in command? and are you my leader? the podiums up for grabs well this is my life, but this is your body what if nothing's left? who are you? what are you? Is it food? How far will craved mouths wander In the burial grounds? See how your paws turn into Casket ladles I just wanna go, fishing Even if I drown I wrote a letter to myself and signed it, "how are you my friend? this life is difficult, I understand your pain, but it's coming back, it's coming back how do you sleep at night?"

We Are Soil 04:01
well i don't go outside and I won't be picking up the fire that you left on the side of the road covered in smoke fold well I don't go to sleep and I don't want to talk about it these spots are unique colored and toned fold let it wind let it wind let it wind well these coattails aren't free it's like your mouth is slowly running out of water if I am what I eat then I'm a child let it wind let it wind let it wind
