Arrival

you felt too ill too much to lie down
you won't have to make a single sound
you understood the terms of the deal
you shook the hand to never heal
we're all waiting
commiserating

Mill Village

Antique frozen in a film
Oh yeah Mill Village
Never strays from his own ilk
Oh yeah Mill Village
I don't like the way you look at me
Oh yeah Mill Village
I don't like the things you say to me
Amassed bite, show me the battery
I can't say that it feels good to me
I don't think I know what's good for me
You can see straight for a mile
Mill Village
Turkey vultures swarm his yard
Mill Village
I don't think he knows what he's done to me
Mill Village
Dying here is not a luxury

preacher says
"no, back to the walls, it's where you belong"
preacher says
"no, back to the halls, and don't move"
and when he stood up
the bus was called
and fire broke from under his chair
"we have your number, sir"
and movement stirred the room
teacher says "go back"
but they didn't run back to their seats
teacher says "grow up"
but they yearned to feel the heat
they claimed they saw his horns and hooves
and his white turned to red
but some say it was just his bones
and the blood pouring out of his head
preacher says nothing
preacher says nothing now

Cobalt Battery

|
|

|
your world mirror image
echoes out of sound
always another self
your world's a dying clone's playground
the present sees you red
the other wants your head
the present sets you in bed
the other wants you dead

No Right
02:25
|
|
||
|
who carries a lifetime of dead weight?
who marries the people they most hate?
who voices the wrong truths at wrong times?
who poisons the well with the strong-armed line of fire?
you'd set yourself aflame with no dog in the fight
you just want the world to see you in the light
it's sad, you have no right to be mad
it's sad, you don't know when you've been had
who paints the walls with their own blood
then dyes it black and pins it on enemies?
who hides behind the cameras but keeps the lens on them?

Cowardly Lion
00:21
|
|
||
|
Attacking from the air makes you a coward
Bombing hospitals makes you a coward
Tactical starvation makes you a coward
You deserve to run from yourself
"Never again" has no asterisks

I saw the people under the street again
skin like paper, eyes like crystal balls
beckoned me as larva to a ruined pipeline
cadence of dirt
running from a world of hurt
like glass to an eye
coming from a world of worth nothing
and growing
flowers of speech from the asphalt of bringing up
and pushing up
Everyone congratulates you
Leaving, sonder blown
Living until God holds you and
Everyone you know
|

Anchor
02:39
|
|
||
|
the world knew she was missing
her parents told of how they cried
every night they said good night to a ghost
no one knew how much they lied
they kept the cameras on her bed
the writing on her sheets all said "dad"
he sent out letters in her name
the voice on the radio sang "Ahead"
they found the bones in her closet
hidden by who was closest
no eyes and a knife
prepared to take another life
|

Pushing Ill
01:07
|
|
||
|
lost in everywhere
sense of direction fails
pushing ill motions
forward into an abyss
not everything is all-consuming
it just hits that weight
I can't feel my hands
|

Anywhere You Are
02:07

Dead stock baby it's out of place
Saw yourself in somebody's face
Last stop baby it's out in space
Threw the stone too far
I will not tell you when I'm around
I will not pull you out of the ground
I will make sure that I am not found
Anywhere you are
Buck shot baby it's not my fault
Dragging around in commonwealth salt
Peeling your face off of the asphalt
Locked inside my car
Once I'm sure it's all in my head
Putting on shackles that I once shed
Come to believe that I always dread
Anywhere you are
Dead stock baby that's all you are now
Once more find that you are hell bound
Get the fuck out of my home and my town
Couldn't be too far
I will not tell you when I'm around
I will not pull you out of the ground
I will make sure that I am not found
Anywhere you are

Fumble
01:14
|
|
||
|
don't dangle the rope
don't fumble the ladder
I have nothing left to hide
down here
it's too cold to let my mind sit still
|

Don't Want To Find You
01:06
|
|
||
|
Acid red, on my shelf
It's greater than myself
The ceiling always comes through
But I don't want to find you
I don't want to find you
A million ways to stay away
It took me nine fucking days
A million ways to sign through
That I don't want to find you
I don't want to find you
|

Lights Out
00:38
|
|
||
|
taking on the charge
gonna save the world
following the leader of the world
who you'll never know
you're on a farm
in the middle of the world
place escapes
its name you'll never know
taking charge
to take lights out
|

Little Rocket
01:59
|
|
||
|
Back on it, I can’t drop it
I can’t move on, I can’t stop it
Shooting off into the sky
Someone stop me before I die
Check the engine light
I don’t have time to make things right
|
||||
16. |
Always You
01:34
|
|
||
|
Brave sister, you lost control there
I can't pretend that I didn't care
There's something to be said
Everyone asked me what happened to you
I couldn't lie, they already knew
and it burned me up with dread
I live my life here, separate from the class
I keep my mouth shut if anyone asks
But they always do
Something just happened and it might destroy them
I can't say if it could happen again
But it's always you
|

No Blue Light
03:19
|
|
||
|
walking dust
the skids don't hit like they used to
tunnel fission
no shadow left to lose to
no blue light here
cage and carrier
the worry that hangs like a ruse
two words at war
and all they're not reduced to
