My bright young son,
you have passed up the gold.
Come bite my thumb,
you’ll get glassed in the morning.
False start.
What’s in my voice?
What’s in my eye?
Allstar.

Tattoo
03:47
|

And we’re dying at the wrong time,
the two of us.
Tattoo bleeding in the sunlight,
punishment.
You made love to me
un-ironically,
but I will not be moved.
Townhouse burning in the moonlight,
melted us.

Hairy Scabby Back
05:02
|

Picture your hairy scabby back,
while I sit alone.
I can see your hairy scab ridden back,
while I watch the throne.
And, in due time
you’ll come to find
your possession of light
is scarce.

I cascade out in ripples upon your shore.
All you have to do is ask for more.
Wade your way through me to close the door.
I should not have spoke.
Is this love or is this plumbing?
You chew through the muck in my piping.
All you have to do is ask for more.
I should not have spoke.
Am I in the wrong place, motherfucker?
Look at all the things that aren’t mine.
I wanna see them make love tonight,
And give birth to the death of time.
I should not have spoke.
I know more than I did before,
but I don’t know how to close that door.

Love Song
04:35
|

My shield is fine,
it’s just collecting dust in the meantime.
I stand surrounded by the holes I’ve dug,
but I’ll fill them up one by one.
Cause its like I’ve finally got something to give.
In the morning, she counts the veins in my limbs.
She drives me stick.
I’ve been whining for a hundred years,
but I’ve just lapsed into silence.
For now I hear music all the time,
and I’m gently going out of my mind.
Cause its like I’ve finally got something to give.
In the morning, she counts the pores in my skin.
She drives me stick.

(The kids all need help.)
I won’t be home tonight,
I’ve got a second wind.
No I am not home tonight.

Get Born
01:58
|

A doleful look.
A past to mourn.
Encased and worn.
A mothers scorn.
The time it took
to shame or fawn.
I caught your ushered gaze forlorn.

Unsolicited Blues
05:38
|

Face down.
Don’t wanna fall in love.
I was sucking my thumb.
Blisters on my palms.
Bruises on my tongue.
Face down.
Falling from the sky.
She’d be sure to die.
What would make my lady cry?
Sword and pistol by his side.
Wedding day is over,
sinking quarter!

Wolves
04:08

My mum and dad,
the only one’s I had!
Never got mad,
with a gun in their hand.
Kiss me goodnight,
every single night!
Oh my with a gun in their hand.
And when I’m lonely
you console me!
Hold me with a gun in your hand.
I say the wrong thing,
you start reloading
and waving that gun in your hand.
Oh mama! Oh papa!
I see the wolves.
But I’m not scared now,
I know now your aim is true.
Drop me to class
driving way too fast!
Cast a wild glance with that gun in your hand.
But then I just think
of your loving!
I feel something for that gun in your hand.
And I was so young
behind your gun.
Love me with a gun in your hand.

Pendulum

And I recall
a room with nothing at all.
Pit and the pendulum.
Swinging misunderstanding.
Cuts my chin,
closes in,
tells me my name is Jim at my expense.
And I recall
a room with nothing at all.
Pit and the pendulum.
Cuts my chin,
closes in,
tells me my name is Ben at Myles’ expense.
And I recall.
