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

Four-Foot List
01:45

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

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

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

Twoness

|

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

Revive

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

Stirring The Gut
02:22
|
|
||
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...

Purge The Thought
02:16
|
|
||
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

Until The Rod Snaps
01:16
|
|

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
