And were you ever glad to know I've witnessed games in every house You pose in portals all your life When they keep you separated from your mail I've held my pose behind the sky No atmosphere has asked to keep me I've held my pose behind the sky None with ears can maintain them You have appeared before the pose And many layers of my cloth (Hundreds, punch) Since you are hard to wash it down The scent of yours is pouring out I opened wide like any mouth The fullest portal is estate My light soul My light soul My light soul My light soul It's true I'm a scarf on a stake And brought to life I'll still need my coat And the ladles for the bath I've found in my hand There’s a cup or watering can The fullest portal is estate

Do it, hurry, hurry Now the star is in the story Oh what fun The star lit my best age Demigod, I've got to appear in gold and partake Demigod, I've got to appear in gold and partake Why did you mess me up (Record it to the four-foot list) Why did you mess me up (Record it, four, four, four-foot list) I come from a world Where when we die it's ‘cause we meant to I come from a world Where not one lock will give return to combination Record it to the four-foot list Record it, four, four, four-foot list Record it to the four-foot list Record it, four, four, four-foot list Why did you mess me up

Who is a ventriloquist I can't remember When was the last time I had my hand in their back I can’t consider it a harvest Till I've plucked them from the ground (Don’t tell the sheriff) (Don’t get me tested) Who is a ventriloquist I can't remember When was the last time I had my hand in their butt I cannot build a bigger building Till I know what to expect Suddenly I bloom My hand grew in you with the rest of the stool

Fenceline 02:46
I've never fallen out of wonder With the things that happened in my life That they said can't happen in a life at all But it's more remorse than wonder Most days And these common days Have taken the place of the fine ones You cannot go to the ball But you look the way That you always wanted Now beast-animal found the stairs No beast-animal to obey They’ll have at any call for watchword They’ll watch the safe Such a safe diminishes its content You cannot go to the ball But you look the way that you always wanted I'll go to shops and watch the tools It's close-by where I'm allowed to walk It's close-by where they've called me God I can never hear it enough But I do not expect to hear it on this side of the post And I have no desire to Their mouths are not for you I've never fallen out of wonder With the differences you get from one place to the next But it's more remorse than wonder That I can't be in the place I know to be the best

I'll not leave alone The promise of a new harmony All at once a hand-print And a voice who sings their speech Could you stand so closely So that they confuse us two And if I die too soonly You can clone me from the prints I've left on you I beg for you to pluck me I've been a weed in front of the whole world Could we finish our tunnel The one we started one a year ago All for teaming of the moon with day Watch for teaming of the moon with day All for teaming of the moon with day Watch for teaming of the moon with day

(First one ever of my life) (First one ever) They pass tear bowl A blue gladdon Point to all them Contact the friends He’s gone It’s news He’s gone It’s news He’s gone It’s news He’s gone It’s news (I don’t know what that sound was) He’s gone It’s news He’s gone It’s news

At the hint of her There was a prescience to cry before No open eyes could know how it’s good Lost and ever bored My eyes were not made for so much reflected light They're meant to keep inside Where the mind knows what color they are Quicker than anybody passing by But who is passing by Nobody is passing by Unless my bedroom is a public place now Dance your dance Dance your dance When I heard I was dying I needed the love left in me To grow into something I could breathe through When air took its leave The dream of ours Is a balcony to spit from But how can I spit When I know how good it is To be up beyond the rest of the crows Would a blow to my head Be a horrible thing At a time like this Or would it take me from where I am Let's stay unimpressionable Dance our dance I've won and lost as the Theion Water Pourer And all of my memories Bothered and collared Withheld by police If my vocal teacher was here He would bruise me for all that I release

Yellow carcass Rotting from its body Rotting [...] The compress is tight One wine too thick One wine too wet So figure it doesn't move Figure it as you will Dose a body still Cold configuring of my bone Stirring the gut Making to move They supposed I was pleasureless With each configuration (Where I wound up) I'll hold onto my last dark light Forever and ever Knotting and rotting [...] The necklace is tight The neckline is tied to the teeth Falling Follow me to the world where we must live So stay fine, lift me So stay fine, lift me partly I'll hold onto my last dark light forever and ever

A Truer One 01:41
To know there’s truly a truer one Disguised like all in the parking bay I’ll know it when I think it I’ll talk a lot about it I’ll make them feel excluded To know there’s truly a truer one Disguised like any I’ve met before I’ll open you up like I break an egg But far more gently than how I said... Turn my back My score is falling as you Holding awkward with this scar on my name Friendly timing makes me full too soon Come hold wedge to my closing door Could you talk them out of setting the trap I’ve stepped into every one that they’ve set Even the evils of the world listen to you You...

I pull under the bell Half full of all hope Do I cut too close (Unduly, every bud is cut) Do I cut the most Out of any of them I tried so hard to purge the thought I tried so hard to purge the thought They’ve lost all sense of self And when I come along You know I’m something else Do I make you float (Undoing every higher heart) Do I make you float Like I pulled the nails from out of both your feet
12.
I never thought over this I’ll be full of living I can have a timeline But not without you I never thought over how I can seem to outside I’ve become more conscious Of my movements And if I say the thoughts I think You’re in for treat I will improvise with color palettes Till it fits your ring... hand Let us make a use for The room up above us Let us pull the curtain Until the rod snaps I never thought over this I’ll be full of living I can have a timeline If you want And if I say the thoughts I think You’re in for treat I will improvise with color palettes Till it fits your ring... hand

So I will take my whistles and bells From the city that fell when I spermed in the batter So I will pull the grapes from their mouths Till I’m happy and full for as long as I need be
