Easy to Erase 03:52
lyrics
buy track
Out of a mist Like out of a fog Like raindrops Condensing on your arms Angels wings Like angels wings In the spring Becomes easy to erase So easy to erase Empty sounds Into an empty space But I'm skyscraping At the gates of heaven No resurrections In the dark Ooh in the dark Like heavy metal drowning guitars Chewed up words spat on the ground By everybody, by everybody Like everybody Becomes easy to erase Easy to erase In and out of love Like green gardens in the spring Those white doves in pairs of silver wings Until they're dead Taxidermy fill these birds with lead And a bag full of heads Decapitated with no frame of reference In their brains Easy to erase Out of this place Easy to erase

Taken Me Away 04:24
lyrics
buy track
Split in two Cut down the center with a spoon Scooped out some things that I realized For me to know and you to find Girl you can hunt it in the midnight Taken me away Yeah that has taken me away Too hard for me to hear you say You could hear me callin' your name Honey I repeat it everyday The things that I have visualized Love you like no other guy You could find me in a dark night Taken me away Yeah that has taken me away Too hard for me to explain Ten ton explosion in the ribs Plastic sticks reduced to shit Big damage in the midnight The price that you pay for livin' like You know what happens when you die No fun to sit hear wishin' I'd Been taken anyway Yeah been taken anyway Butcher takes the uninisides Fillets the halves of salmon spines Sacks their heads on ice to bed Distant for a while My hearts a frozen lake Frozen in a solid state With no lack for words just what I say More vacant than this fishes face

The Beast 06:27
lyrics
buy track
Forever wishin' you all of the gardens in the spring Those white doves in pairs of silver wings Forever seas of green and blue and golden suns And all my love There's cashed dispensed below the scanner with Half of my heart, half of my heart In the sun I fell into flames Coiled up, yeah I turned into a snake Broke down in gamma radiation Broke down in every situation Pieced apart the bricks that formed Massive walls collapsed in Bruges Broke in half like bones that snapped Burst apart by bombs that packed Each bruise upon each bruise Prosthetic hands they crushed it to a dime Aluminum cans dissolving by my mind Oh why I felt this stoned Just what I left back home Sometimes I felt like death Felt it like it was living breath The spine inside the back A blade it used to be attached To me I fell into flames Deteriorated instantaneous Combustive petroleum wasted A sea of linoleum wax Carries boats on floating sea tracks The beast upon the back The beast alone attacks The beast alone relaxed This beast was human half This beast confirmed the facts This beast consumed those snacks The best part of our laughs The best part of our laughs

Icarus 03:51
lyrics
buy track
Something like recurring 'secutive squares Going to nowhere A power set of stairs that materialized Pedestals into the sky A sun exists in love and disappeared Permanently un-described A ghost floated above and retrieved me from Icarus his wings were made with plastic bands No I couldn't tell you, no I couldn't tell you Roses fall down on the ground in beautiful ways No I couldn't tell you, no I couldn't tell you A thousand pounds of gold I saw inside my dream No God could speak to me Titanium steel gates built into a room That I could demonize Convergence with the sun he woke up from Darkness I realized Far down below the sun de-materialized Icarus his wings were made with plastic bands No I couldn't tell you, no I couldn't tell you Roses fall down on the ground in beautiful ways No I couldn't tell you, no I couldn't tell you

Loveless 03:52
lyrics
buy track
I don't want to recollect Been searchin' for respect I'll hunt you in you in the night Images of smoke smoking up the hall Where circuits to my mind were buried up and I wanted you somewhere inside of my brain Controls my heart and regulates the pain Images of smoke were makin' me blind Can't see with this smoke in my eyes In my eyes, in my eyes Last night I estimated the waste Burned in flames, buried in my mind Been lost in war I can't define Why don't you see, no I didn't mean To take part in a war, I didn't disarm Fought hard for a cause you'd never regard You're smoking on ashes, I'm already cashed By all of the guns smoking up Smoking up, smoking up Beep, beep, beepin' eyes I meet Blinkin' eyes I meet, blinkin' in the night Don't, don't, don't wanna recollect I'm searchin' for respect, I'll hunt you in the night I think, I think about all the times You made me feel alive, you made me feel just like Yeah you made me feel just like Machines, machines, machines they're pounding on the door They're lounging on the floor, they're sounding in my skull Attack, attack, attacker in the shell was living in myself Loveless I could tell, yeah loveless I could tell

Her Love A Burning Sun 03:37
lyrics
buy track
Hold these frames and they build up a pearl Un-insides my underworld All alive my body feels divine Shining scales across a crocodile Hides his teeth we smile together Purse my lips lets kiss forever Wanna live inside of the sun Like to burn sometimes for fun Her voice was like a verse Made up of words for what they're worth It could, yeah it could sometimes make you feel Emotional Beautiful inside of my head Forever sunbeams with no sunscreen It melts my heart of ice Gives me rainbows feels real nice Used my mouth to talk out loud Breathe in my lungs to transfer blood A thousand tons compressed in one Her love is like the burning sun Her voice was like a verse Made up of words for what they're worth It could, yeah it could sometimes make you feel Emotional Her love a burning sun

On A Verse 03:22
lyrics
buy track
On a verse I wanted these words Wanted 'em to say that it's okay Wanted 'em to sit like concrete bricks Stacked on top of concrete mix Five hundred tons of metal was A silver field made of steel A linen silk now I don't feel Now I don't feel Tonight Is the same as when The same as it's been What I've witnessed is The part of me I lost Now I don't see the way it cost To retreat into what I disappear Into what I disappear In the summer I was bad In the wintertime I turned sad In the spring I clipped my wings Then died just like a beast Time a remorse Or a brick or some kind of force That's what she told me with a look I guess that I understood Tonight Is the same as when The same as it's been What I've witnessed is The part of me I lost Now I don't see the way it cost To retreat into what I disappear Into what I disappear

Belly of the Whale 04:30
lyrics
buy track
I let these words out of my mouth To honor some dead fish who make no sounds And I made more faces than the birds above me And all of their feet are wrapped on red trees Do you see what I mean? Do you see what I mean? Rings around the sun they move my blood Just like a wave of sound My solar field In my solar field Down in the belly of the whale with Myself had talked directly to a porpoise And I can't remember what it was we spoke for To drop, to drop my gun and lay a sanction Do you see what I mean? Do you see what I mean? Rings around the sun they move my blood Just like a wave of sound My solar field In my solar field I looked out far away down at a place Dark solid lines cut into arrays Bones were green and buried in gold A house of cards, very nice homes Burnin' inside that never rewinds A marriage to death and what you would expect Do you see? Do you see what I mean?

Thunderstorm 04:40
lyrics
buy track
Black and purple circles are flashed in my eyes Around a man a sailor said that the seas are unkind Yellow-flowered daisy chains Electronic charges makes a Thunderstorm A thunderstorm Rain on the side Yeah it rains down sometimes On me from the silver sun that I've seen in the night Makes you feel as if you're only Made to live for windy shores and a A thunderstorm A thunderstorm Operate me in the dark I feel no fear for what I got Inside of my brain Inside of my brain Voice box it talks soft there's Fires on the moon and I was Born with silver knives into Some kind of midnight sky That you would call a storm Call a storm A thunderstorm Walked away with all of my lies Told myself I sacrificed A part of my heart A part of my heart Then it was a bitter day well it's Better when you understate What makes a rainstorm What takes a away for And prays to stay for A thunderstorm
