Governor 02:46
lyrics
Wait... Theres something up ahead I've seen its claws I can see the marks it left Well fed and eating with a thousand hands This coma of factory and bars won't last it's numbing power and it's never-ending winding heart So climb what you can before its gone... And always carry in your lungs the prettiest voice from drowing as you drag this swamp 'cause the smell will stay with you for so long The past can only stretch for so long... The last can only stretch So long... so long... so long... So we wait, untill it's overhead Untill the sky falls and the sun takes us all

The Old year 04:32
lyrics
She leaps higher than the scale and then falls like iron and screaming air,right down in front of me I don't know how it came to this I am so scarred up with cigarettes... Cigarettes and leaks But I know I'll always stay possessed like some preacher to a crucifix if you drive your nails into me We're sitting on the floor in a pile trading our arms for some wings of harm I am god dammed Been blown from the hinge And I can now barely stand Oh Jaelyn I can Oh I can feel you like the wind The beatings that rotation brings has us bedding down on anything But as our shrinking lives collide and ring the sound is beautiful and learn I never planned to live like this empty vaults a rolling kiss Oh I never plan on anything Sitting on the floor in a smile I'm tearing apart Like poverty art you are God sent Been blown from the hinge And I can now barely stand Oh Jaelyn I can Oh I can feel you like the wind I fear its getting close to the end I can feel it in the warm ailing wind She says I don't want to think about that cause I am married to imaginary friends So come on... Come on in

American Low 03:45
lyrics
Oh this hurricane's blowing us thin This never ending swirl of American sin Where I strayed on my knees to a bottomless cage Where they throw dollar bills and hope to be saved The poshest scarf on the warmest day Its enough to make you give up...she says... I know I know I know it shows As we sleep in this broken Cadillac We watch the world leave it doesn't look back I gotta say that when my heart attacks Don't return it...it will fire right back... So let's just lie here as they paint us black Oh this earthquake is shaking our hands Free at the wrists just as we started a dance The hardest thing next to diamond rings Is the coats we have to wear just to make ends meet I got this year and fifty more to beat Its enough to make you give up...she says I know.. I know ..I know...so let go The nervous ticks only the holy get The country treats as the cities get sick The lunatics and the Harlem tricks The country treats as we all get sick

New Jerusalem 03:32
lyrics
She keeps a bottle hanging like religon right underneath the bed She pours it in the sheets and vents... Combats the awful things we did Snakes and Plagues and her former slaves are arising from the dead... She grinds her heels as we bottom out... ..the horrible years we were fed... And as the lights double back again... We curse the man who invented them I see a little bit of you in everything Blowing up like jerusalem in me How I'm in love with everything.. The girl with the golden back Give me love in a telescope and beat your heart like a marching band oh I could bludgeon it or bottle it... or beat it back to bed... But bleeding bleeds much safer streets so pick up that bandaged dress.. and put the polish down and leave the crooked ground.. You look infinite at best... and as time gives god a rest.. we better bind our better halves... I store a little bit of heaven everywhere Even with the cabinets so dirty and bare How im in love with everything The Girl with the golden back

Tin Man's Throne 03:42
lyrics
Father time fell ill to night Fight the war with the windows tight And my tin throne's blown to kingdom come Now I need you here so I can I move my bones For all the horror, for all the stains All of over the walls All of over my brain... Father time fell ill tonight The fire waters burning all too bright But she knows that and knows the path The roads I run have drilled a hole in the world The television paints a tunneled picture So pile on the bend as the walls grow thicker And carry on the end.... Father time is shivering cold Searching the hills for sex and gold I ran my body straight out my soul It hurt so bad I sank into her And got lost in the weight of one Father time took off tonight Left mother nature to grow and die The rain machines now raining fire I sold all my water just to stay alive And I am feeling so, so tired And I am feeling so....

Platano 05:47
lyrics
I've got these hands and Ive got some oxygen... I just don't know what to do with it. Brandy tricks and treats the knees and I fell for it... Somehow they say this doll will sway and Swing between the universe and me We'll spend our days fast and grey... Trying not to drink the sea. We're so stout and double faced... Becoming prophets everyday with a gospel Of how we grooved and all the breath that it removed The rebellion is over... The colors are much bolder... And the emperor's new clothes sag... I'll try my best, I'll make it fit... But the more it grinds the worse it gets... I watch it shake my hold of it... The more it runs the more tired I get... Take all of space, the earth and how it tastes I never loved it anyways... We fought the rain with the heaviest chains Hoping to drown or float away... Everything you could have been... Has been rebuilt with gauze and tin What I want is just to get on Never get off Never move on And I don't have a single cell to pawn... To the tricks the devil trips us on We arm this room and get left in empty tombs... As the invisible break through Screaming I know how to make this easier... ...I can make it easier... I can make it

Dust Went Flying 03:05

The Gin war 04:14
lyrics
So tell me dear where is it you go from here? As you curse and peel and pose in tears Against the wall and across the hall... Across the wards as we both dissolve I have this habit of punishing things That move so fast they grow out wings That sneaks through houses as we barter for sleep... (So just let me hide) I wish I had you in my lungs Id blow you up...and block the sun To save everyone from this brilliant light we've won And our bodies got so much clearer With dirty blood and thirty last calls So fill it up and spin forever down the wall I throw it up just to watch it fall Through the window you looked much sweeter "Tell me something bout a lonely night" Burnt by the steam from a better life... But your lottery touch feels lucky enough Refugee hands from a gin war... I know a place where we can rest tonight But when the bombs start falling... you've got to open your eyes And I just hope that I have mine I just hope that I have... I wish I had one hundred thousand pounds Id crack the ground as your struggle for sound leaps From town to town to town Share your spoken wealth Share your body's health I need it more than I need myself I know you'll leave with the king's reprieve I guess that's just fine by me Through the window you tasted much sweeter

Lolita 03:53
lyrics
Lolita she's got the songs of sirens she's got it all painted so humbly over the bathroom wall but the porcelain drips and she breaks up so quick and now I'm left with the bastard of the ambassador's lips Lolita I love her she's perfect all over Built like a bridge made of four leaf clovers Throwing winks to a monster that keeps them forever to have in pockets and lockets that will float as she drowns I know that it's almost over but it keeps starting over And I know this beautiful belle that rings just for money as the sound moves her body And I hope they treat you well cause there are no words that can save us now Lolita on fire I'm feeling so old and tired But her eyes are unfrozen filled with admire She sells like liquor as the planet gets thicker It gets so much heavier the closer that we stand And i know that music is over but it keeps starting over Thats how it goes So come on come around my new engine of love Watch it roll over watch it move the ground Lolita they found her with love all around her Tied to a vile full of life's cheapest eyeliner

Boomerang 05:23
lyrics
I'm breaking up for the gravity's won before it snaps where the warm blood runs Cause it will flood our bodies soon flood this hotel room Oh blue collar ruins the rags i wear I closed the vents come and claim the air And I hope the ceiling gives in Since you got a hold of it and skinned it for the look of me I've got everything coming back A boomerang of lead Baby I've got it bad But I can't empty the bed she said The creature that roams the street at night will bite me straight in half These sinking shoes will sink me soon so hold me up intill my feet sink though And who dares such a giant leap where a giant's sleeping? I hear it breathing I hear it up above Sick in the attic with mt digital love And i fear the ceiling's rising Since you got a hold of it and skinned it for the sound of me ... The creature that's eating this street at night is clawing at my back

The Ice Factory 04:58
lyrics
A circus noose another month and the golden goose that I'll be squeezing forever oh Suzanne... it's been so long since we shared the air I need the carpet to move hold out my hands hold up the walls for you they're rented, but perfect to fill with sores I should know better than that I'm running much smoother now I bought new bones and bigger feet the biggest won't ever be missed Suzanne I'm lucky just to have your name inbounds again, again a year so pale shimmer and spill I don't live so well caught by all the audits but your audience screams so much louder than those hounds from hell a river is building from a leak on the ceiling but she's got a body holding the water uphill even the lionhearted want to lay somewhere warm and still I'm feeling much smoother now I bought new skin and bigger gifts the biggest almost never miss Suzanne I'm lucky just to have your name inbounds again
