Nonetheless
02:30

Sometimes I roll down my windows instinctively so I can feel the warmth of the wavering heat
There is a simple malfunction mechanically
I can follow the gallows as I make my retreat
Take me away from everything
In a field of flowers sits a single tree
It is holding an apple
It's waiting for me
I said I would never accept defeat yet I find myself spiraling infinitely
Take me away from everything
I can still smell the summer as it retreats
The wind's getting louder
It's shaking my feet
Take me away from everything

Long Pig

Amnesia woman
She wanders the roads
Separated from a broken home
Rain falls in a deafening cold drenching the few possessions she owns
I know you're a cannibal
A nightcap whiskey before bed on the stairs
Deep in the shadows who's waiting there?
Shoots and ladders with hook on the chairs
Plates are garnished with apples and pears
I know you're a cannibal
Flesh devoured after a flash in the pan
Fatty gristle from another man
His desires cannot be fulfilled
Silently plotting his next meal
I know you're a cannibal

Seven

A hand is only big enough for a handful like the handful of times that I should have died
I'll keep your secrets in my lockbox locked away beneath the sands of time
Steady is the captain of titanic guiding us safely through the tide
Buried oh so deep among the undertow lies the iceberg that split the sky
Drifting toward the shore on broken floorboards
Triumphant on the doorway of denial
Were we empty handed in the morning?
Searching for a porcelain paradigm
How we often struggle in the evenings
Prying every star out of the night
Spare me all the details of your science
Every little tooth inside your crooked smile
Reminds me once again of all your accidents
Excuse me as I turn away to cry
Sever for me the ligament of your cervix
I'll always bear the crosses of your trial

Poker Chips
01:39
|

Tell me how the mind works
i'm talking about the brilliant ones
Please a quick psychology lesson
I know all about depression, alcoholism, and my lack of ambition
So tell me why I have this fear of death?
Maybe it's because I've buried more family members than I have left
Tell me how the mind works
Oh brain, please respond because if you don't then I know he's gone.
And at your funeral all you wanted to say was "throw poker chips on my grave."
The memories that people have of you, I struggle to find
I was so young, incredibly naive
I'm feeling guilty and horrible inside

Does That Sound Fine?
02:01

The winds are blowing
They usher in familiar changes
Like shedding skin
The nights get longer
As the days grow thin
With our heartbeats rising a new light peaks in
Flush with anger and regret
I watch the smoke rise off a cigarette
I'm so tired of the rhetoric
And the classist promise of unification
The winds are blowing
They usher in familiar changes
Like shedding skin
The nights get longer
As the days grow thin
With our heartbeats rising a new light peaks in
I was thinking about your breath
How it travels through your neck
It's so easy to accept all this motion if we're unconscious
And I wonder what am I doing here?

Roundabout
01:47
|

Roundabouts are only empty promises
They never stop
Yield to what's in front of them
I'm losing out
Get out
Heading south on ocean avenue I'm airing out your vapid attitude
I'm losing out
Get out

Ground Rule Double

I didn't watch a lot of baseball this year
Now that you're gone everything's so surreal
Now that you're gone I don't know how to feel
Tell me all your bad dreams
Tell me everything that you fear

Milquetoast
04:37
|
|||
Dilate and stare into my pupils
Corneas and maps that lead to nowhere
No one says, "I'm here to stay"
Everyone will die one day
Tell me how I can change
I'm afraid of what you'll say
The more I taste the more I feel discouraged
My larynx strains to inhale any oxygen
Why am I afraid of change?
Everyone will die one day
Now I know that you won't stay
I've run out of things to say
