Why don't you cut me in half?
Why don't you cut me in half?
Why don't you cut me in half?
Why don't you cut me in half?

Righteous Fury
03:28
|

|
I could lift the seas you see
To drown us and our sycophantic company
I could raise the dead and I did
But now I'm stuck here with their boring stories
So i'll take my heart
And I'll wring it out
Like trans-mastication
Or dry masturbation
I am chafing off this slough of old abuses
I wish that I had more to say with all these muses
It seems that righteous fury and gory imagery
Don't turn you on
But violence was just how I was raised
And that's not gonna change
I don't think I would change anyway
I feel my left arm fade away into the white noise
I feel my left arm fade away into the white noise
I felt my left arm fade away into the white noise
I felt my left arm fade away into the white noise
Like righteous fury and gory imagery
Don't turn you on
Well violence was just how I was raised
And that's not gonna change
Until the highways that I used to drive
Are marked with crosses and names
I heard you singing
Paris is burning
And when I checked the news
I saw Notre Dame was burning
How the fuck did you do that?

My Attention
02:40
|

"Get me out of here"
She finally spoke
"Get me out of here
Before these people make me choke"
You're no good for me
And I'm not so much for you
My mind keeps wandering
Blacked out from stress and overheat
Oh and I wonder—
Is the aching in your chest still there?
Oh my attention
I seem to have lost somewhere
Don't you touch me
But don't just stare
There's too much gravity
To be going any where
Oh and I wonder—
Is the aching in your chest still there?
Oh my attention
I seem to have lost somewhere

Every night as a child of three
I'd hear that woman scream
"Please I don't belong in this place"
And I could feel that too
I do
But still she was trapped in that fragile machine
Nobody visiting
She swore that someday she'd make us all pay
And I would swear that too
I do
When I was young my whole was full of skeletons
Who lost their mind some years ago
Total entropy forever
But I still hear her nightly throes
And those gnarled bones
But now she's gone and all that's left
Are her fucked up screams playing every night
In my fucked up dreams

Spunkler Keep
02:32
|

|
Leave my corpse at Spunkler Keep
Where we stacked up rocks and spoke of dreams
I think that's where our love is tethered
Where new bonds formed and old ones severed
I wonder if the water's risen
Giving way to underwater citizens
I wish that I could breathe in liquid
To fill my lungs with bugs and cryptids
We've been entangled since the dawn of time
Way before God began his designs
Every atom was clustered together
And we'll be one now and forever
But when it's time to leave you be
Scatter me at Spunkler Keep
Don't be sad, I won't be watching
There's nothing left but meat and rotting
Scatter me at Spunkler Keep
I think that's where our love is tethered
Scatter me at Spunkler Keep
I wish that I could breathe in liquid
Scatter me at Spunkler Keep
Every atom was clustered together
Scatter me at Spunkler Keep
Don't be sad, I won't be watching

Gravity
03:21
|
|||
|
Your gravity is bringing me down
Your holy place, I burned to the ground
This old grudge, it weighs down on me
The way it weighs down on you
So I've tried something new to end this cycle of abuse
To stop your plotting
Now my bloodline concludes here because I refuse to
Spread this genetic rotting
Our technology has far surpassed our biology
How can I empathize when my brain is built for a smaller tribe
Don't tell me we're not to blame
So we watch the lights go out in the sky
As the lights go out in our eyes

Places You Can't Go
04:22
|
|||
|
I can love much more than you
While yours tends to decay
But now this strange and blinding light
Will lift me far away
Which could not have been more apropos
Now you can watch these UFOs that take me
To places where you could never go
Oh the places you could never go
The places where you can't go
And lately I feel like I've been inside
A shotgun state of sunshine
A shotgun state of sunshine
And baby I have dreamt a thousand times
About the way you die
About the way you die
But from up here you look so small
And I feel no hate at all
Could it be I'm finally letting go
And all it took were UFOs
To take me to places where you could never go
Oh the places you could never go
The places where you can't go
Tell me of places you could never go
And those are the places where I will go
Up above the hum and drone
This distant vacuum's now my home
I've always feared the passage of time because
I never felt like it was really mine
Just hoped that UFOs would take me for a ride

Someday you'll be gone
Someday you'll like shadows lost in the dark
Someday not so far
I'll trace your outlines in the lids of my eyes
Where you were forgotten
Where you were forgotten
What have I done to your face?
Have I forgot it?
