Bottlenecker 02:20
lyrics
Blue eyes burning like a flame Searing through my skin, blister on the brain Always fly when the devil’s breaking bread Supper on the floor, halo overhead Sunny sky painted on the panes Shadow on a sheet, pretty little stain My oh my showered like a saint Swearing off the rust in the pouring rain One more bite with a belly full of lead Leaning on a check, belly up instead Load so light in your little hand Laying on the couch, under you like sand Black sky, planet full of rain Starving on a bet, ocean full of bait Belt your song better in a cage Hummingbird heart, feathers made of blades Building on the broken earth Believe in the bricks, stronger that the dirt Body bent, never show the hurt Tangled in the door, taking off your skirt Blue light shining on your face Slicing through the dark Sleeping on your waist Belt your song better in a cage Hummingbird heart, feathers made of blades

Bodygetta 04:07
lyrics
I’ve seen biblical men Crumble in a digital wind A decomposing myth That choked on tiny microchips They said it’s privilege I say it’s primitive We’re the coat check of the gods and galaxy heads I’ve gotten a delicate gift Wrapped in time but slightly ripped I’ve seen black cocaine Churning a neon brain Golden grenades Tossed in ghettos to the waste An electric hurricane Has flooded everything Turned the seas lame Turned it’s sailors just the same And I’ve gotten a terrible itch my garden’s growing glass and brick

Rose of Lee 05:22
lyrics
We’ve ignited into flames And the furnace is so weak The rain it failed to come as hailed So sweat falls on the seeds What we’ve grown so very slow Is trampled by relief You have told of concrete roads But came home with muddy feet The grind of lovers into each other The grinding gears of sleep The grind of takers taking daughters To a place to keep You’ll hibernate You’ll procreate And die of atrophy While skinners like me skim the gutters And fill their bags with teeth I can remember planting a rose But she dried up when the river was low God will come and the roots grown under Will pull up slow It’s this I know… The cabinets full long ago Got ravaged clean by what I love most I let it in to warm its feet And when it left, like a tornado Buried my house and scattered my clothes And I’m still blowing in the breeze We’ve ignited into flames and I hold you close to me Our melted parts a work of art I sold like novelty I float around this empty room and To put my mind at ease I map the travel of souls that dabbled in eternity She says we’ll learn to plunder, and learn to lean But we all learn to plunder, and learn to leave

Alabama Song 05:19
lyrics
The moons under the weather It’s breathing through its teeth I was wearing out the cancer that I caught in sacred sleep She sings so loud, with notes so proud Even though they’re not worth keep They fell in love right in her lungs I can hear it when she speaks She said she played the saloons Until she lost her name I sometimes play the same ones Like a demon making change I am looking for a diamond In a mine full of reminders Well she’s just a constellation That is hidden by the mountain I know I’ll die violent death Running from a squall My mother took a fall Where Jesus built a wall My father took a job Balancing balloons on a saw My lover was hitchhiker On a road engulfed in fog I am looking for a treasure In a lake too deep to measure Well she’s is just a constellation That was named on nameless mountains There are some things I should say I tilt a little more each day I flew so low, like a legless crow In every town in Ohio It’s a place I never stayed Adrianna, I came from Alabama on lease….. There’s a monster on piano With a really handsome name He gambled all his silver Playing chicken with a train She’s seen the best, this lioness I’ve ate her weight in pain She smiles slow Just to show That things could be ok… I am sailing with Madonna In an ocean of piranha Well she’s just a constellation Off the tip of tallest mountains

Acrobat 03:57
lyrics
Her dress hangs like honey Off her shoulders and across her back Her skin is glittering Her eyes like stained glass That slip is a scalpel In a chapel of broken hits It carves or it fixes But it always makes a mess My love was drug home By barbarians of debt She says I was never An acrobat of men I was baptized in moonlight The rays barely lengthened my limbs Your songs are silhouettes A parade of broken vets And the ground’s grown so soft As I fish on the river I rent It’s so hard to stay up right So I wade back through the stench And swim And I scoured the hillsides For heaven hiding from hell And I found not one noun For they both were adjectives And my love was drug home By barbarians of debt Their chains I remember The pain I can’t forget

Mirrorball 06:16
lyrics
The Ballroom is packed with wounded eagles Stitches raw, bloody claws that are barely legal She dropped in like a mirrorball in heels Always vicious in goodbyes, and easy to kneel I said when you talk it’s your tongue it never healed You wrapped your lies in razor wire for years and years And now we’re both just mannequins that feel Every night I try to seal your mausoleum Broken trust At a Broken address Half dressed shingles on a two room cabinet They say you sank slow to somewhere deeper south Selling cotton from a rotten cotton mouth I feel it’s getting close to the end And our time has no bookend or a bed It will leave you to your ledge of regret And it’s burning like a quit lit cigarette
