Quagmire 04:39
lyrics
buy track
In my head, I am screaming Foot at fault, at the best In my bed, I am bleeding Cower in the coming wave This is where we all get off (get on) Love long lost so what’s the use Parse the seeds, and the bees Merry-go-round ran out of juice Close the shades on perspective Solipsistic state of mind Keep your eyes peeled on the screen This is where it all runs off This is where we all get off (get on) Love long lost so what’s the use Parse the seeds, and the bees Merry-go-round ran out of juice This is where we all get off (get on) Love long lost so what’s the use Parse the seeds, and the bees Merry-go-round ran out of juice

Tabs on Your Insides 04:02
lyrics
buy track
All the cramping in your stomach All the fear behind your eyes Boring holes in tattered dresses We fuck to stave off daily life Is this real or just projection? Can you read between the lines? Have you phoned in your direction? They’re keeping tabs on your insides Helping hands Tear you down Dog ears mark the words you love Shiny lights inside yourself Barrel roll accidents Broken bones in safety nets Grains of sand Sorry sounds Sickness spreads within the leaves Spreading care infecting me I wish I could be A face in the crowd that you don’t see Helping hands Tear you down

In Your Crime 03:33
lyrics

Eminent though unbeknownst, curiously kind In your crime, sirens sound Presently I say I won’t, afraid of what I’ll find The things you hide, now I’ve found The day book that I keep lays it out These holdouts that I leave stay without Taken back by recommends, be amongst the leaves Your disease, holds me down Cloaked from head to toe in red, buckled but relieved To be seen, it all comes round The day book that I keep lays it out These holdouts that I leave stay without Oh I say it goes all uphill from here Oh I say it goes all uphill from here Oh I say it goes all uphill from here Oh I say it goes all uphill from here

Mammoth & the Rage 04:12
lyrics
buy track
So the walls advance Illuminance keeps me inside I’d fancy a phone I’m feeling verbose, old, and machined In my brightest nights Candlelight gnaws at my heart Fluorescent winds howl My Lover’s a ghost bound to my dreams Like a lantern in the haze Just a lunatic who raves A mirage of angry light Like a mammoth in a rage At home in the dark Living in my black dot Conversation’s mad as a beast Photons ring my brain I hear them out there Them sunbeam frenzies Like a lantern in the haze Just a lunatic who raves A barrage of angry light Like a mammoth in a rage At home in the dark So their mauling dance Fractured little bits of my house I’m prancing for none I’ll burn in my blood When they shine through the seams to me

Thumper 02:55

Heavy petting And happy endings Bodies wetting Moved to hysteria Naked Hades Aphrodite Give me ratings You moody invertebrate Come on, marry me I’m a centerpiece Amenities sucking on some candy Dig my hairdo While I eat you Almond soma Soothing delirium Give us animus Something animal Give me all of it I want your lunacy Come on, marry me You’re a centerpiece Obscenities fucking in the havoc Give me all of it Give me all of it Let me suffer it I want your mania Give me all of it Give me all of it Let me suffer it I want your mania Come on, marry me We’re a centerpiece Humanity’s lusting for a panic

Nova Lady Ache 05:21
lyrics

You beat on my chest In mellow moans I’m least and a little less Make me more, more, more I nest in our bed Get me stoned And warm me up nice Melt me on down Down the well Oh, well Meet me in the pines Get lost Get gone with me again in the wild And we won’t leave Until they burn us down from the stars A moon drunk in the woods Watching souls roll, roll Turn on a fire And light me up like night Surprise and collapse And in the end The bright of the black Beats on elements In mellow moans Meet me in the pines Get lost Get gone with me again in the wild And we won’t leave Until they burn us down from the stars

And Come Undone 04:36
lyrics
buy track
This is the cause we cannot cross Rented failsafes sent from high above These are the ways and means to pray A pattern quilted quenched but not allayed And come undone The flies have blocked out the sun America’s gone They’re left here feeding on our own This is the gun we give a child For school safaris, practice in the wild This is the sum of parts unknown A future vestige, seeds that are not sown And come undone The flies have blocked out the sun America’s gone They’re left here feeding on our own This is the kill that doesn’t come Void reactions, zeroes from the one This is the line of see and say Oh can you see, a banner set ablaze And come undone The flies have blocked out the sun America’s gone They’re left here Feeding and focused And reeling in locus And bleeding verboseness And seething to choke on our own

Trepidation Highway 04:24
lyrics
buy track
Corners lined with pantomimes Defending what they do A thousand bloody valentines For the dreams they let diffuse I’m out here With the bugs It’s so clear I’m static, stunned Channel change mentality Musings from the chute Trepidation highway Insipid tiptoe rules I’m out here With the bugs It’s so clear I’m static, stunned I’m out here With the bugs It’s so clear I’m static, stunned

Simulacrum I 04:23
lyrics
buy track
Gone to yellow hills to sleep on the ground Roll like thunder Making love in the crowd All splintered bones A fragile physique Some are strung up here Some just need to breathe Gone to yellow hills with mist in their mouths Some are strung out on the movement of the clouds Gone to yellow hills to see the armies ache Some have come to free the vultures of their pain Bring blind men eyes They need a good samaritan Brain-dead hindsight The weather is dead A whole world is watching Above the smoke There’s only sky Gone like Buffalo Gone like the snow Gone to flame when all the world is sold

Southsea Hants 05:20
lyrics
buy track
The smell of cigarettes is as thick As a thousand fools dancing on a cliff The balladeers describe the heat While air-brushed artists rape the meat We all drift along With sculptures in our songs We all lay blame to excuses When the sculptures slip and fall The audacity that you’d even be speaking to me cannot be Comprehended in these words To get my point across I’d have to twist, contort, and fuss In colors you can’t begin to see We all drift along No borders or canon to believe In silent relief We thank god for not existing Regurgitate my stolen goods I’ll show you what’s been hiding underneath my hood Blasting blessed archetypes With bladed soundscapes hidden in the words We all learn to spawn So the next batch can ingest And reaching out, glove in hand Under the shell in distress

Wear Their Hunger & Their Haunt 03:50
lyrics
buy track
Maim me Don’t wanna do it? Signs in from the lighthouse Flooded bare Haunting self-immolations pour down the stairs A hunger here A victim there And nightmares near An empty belly Full on market days A sycophant A jaundiced eye An anchorite Sang bright as a bomb burning black Silence As the neutron phantoms pass Down the way and by the by We fall away and slip from time
