you lost your ID by the side of the road
you can feel the change coming, it's about to get cold and
you saw it coming
cut off your nose just to spite your little face
some people never learn there's a time and there's a place and
the engine's humming
if you sell out on the good side
I can tell you what
it rips her heart
it rips her heart out
you walk along and pretend it's just a game
you never put up stakes, so you'll never be to blame and
the pain is numbing
throw yourself down with a twinkle in your eye
the trees are on fire, it's okay now you're alive and
you've seen it coming
if you sell out on the good side
I can tell you what
it rips her heart
it rips her heart out

The Pyrite King

out of sight
out of mind
tole the bell with cotton gloves
it's a lie
believe the lie
let him take everything
close your eyes
it'll all be fine
no, it won't
just feast on the thought
feast on the thought of it all
living in a hazy dream
"bleeding hearts" in slow demise
never enough
let him take everything
a figure head
only a name
The Pyrite King
just feast on the thought
feast on the thought of it all
and fall behind the endless lies that make news
just call it off
this would-be-boss obeyed you
(it's a sign)
"I can take away everything all the time"
"I can take away, and make you mine"

black box machine
it feels heavy
kind of like regret
just keep the peace
in the feedback loop
the seas will rise up
and take us all into the deep
(it's time to look up)
I don't want to go back
I don't want to go back from here
I don't want to give in
I don't want to give in to fear
no way out now
just bide your time with your face fixed inside the screen
adjust the angles
and labor over
flower crowns as mourning jewelry
(it's time to look up)
I don't want to go back
I don't want to go back from here
I don't want to give in
I don't want to give in to fear

Cooler Heads
01:52
|
|||
it's what you feel
not what you know
the facts don't matter
don't matter anymore
cooler heads will not prevail
obfuscate, pivot, flip & spin away
cooler heads will not prevail

Pangs & Schisms
02:38

I take your number and I stand in line
for a thousand intermissions
to pull the curtains
all the lights that blind
you'll be there
it's a give-in
just pile it on and take a photograph
your face reminds me
of someone else
aimless and far away
I know you'll find me
with canned applause and indifferent smiles
you must forgive us our opinions
to feed them scraps
watch them lap it up
it's not much, but it's a living
so close your eyes, it is a vision of a path unwinding
with no regrets and vivid memories, you'll stop your hiding
(If it feels right)
I see it all
you're getting further away

Christina's World '48

clouds that spiral in the air
swarming starlings dance
I'll be waiting with baited breath
I'll be waiting to see you there
to take apart the things you leave behind
all i wanted was a little time
all i wanted was peace of mind
all i wanted was one more try
straw fields parting in your wake
I know you at a glance
the air is thick with things left unsaid
I reach your hand but I fall instead
to take apart the things you leave behind

Dermatillomania

just make it shine bright from the outside
la bella figura has taken everything
just make it shine bright from the outside
tell me all your lies
I'll believe them
but you're diaphanous
I see though you
la bella figura has taken everything
just make it shine bright from the outside
just give me one reason left to trust you
I'll be waiting in that same old posture
for the words I've come to know so well
they make the eyes roll back inside my head
I give you all my heart and you ignore it
I bring you to the truth and you abhor it
la bella figura has taken everything
just make it shine bright from the outside

Adult Coloring Book

where the light bends
it makes a halo above
pretty pictures of all the faces you love
back in the day
back when it all made sense
that life is over
that life is over
now the future is a gaping precipice
without a hero to save us from this evil mess
never look back on how things might have been
'cause that life is over
that life is over
