Traps Of Fact

by Tendon Levey

Month after month Year after year I know what love is I know what love is I can′t misuse it I have conviction Conviction kept me lonely Conviction kept me lonely Conviction kept me lonely Look at how they mocked me Look at how they mock me They had never seen a heart before They had to diagnose me What they're not so blessed to feel They will call a fantasy Now they′ve gone and told the world I have a distorted reality Conviction keeps me lonely Conviction keeps me lonely They never saw a heart before They had to diagnose me They will write my mind is wrong I will write my heart is right Write it down with every pen That I see within my sight Month after month Year after year Don't forgive them for being Ignorant of their sins

(Be a part of me) Help to see through home’s door Become part of home Never take their swoons Ten demoters falling earthwards They pine for you—my head Help protect my music from these robbers We in Evening are so careful, careful Demoters, ba ba ba ba ba Demoters, ba ba ba ba ba We in Evening are so careful, careful

What if I'm comparing all of Heaven with stars Am I the last to know I've met with Heaven, a star I need to know you in a way that the others have not There is a room we dream about somewhere on this globe And if I cannot find it for you I'll make my own ‘Cause I need to know you in a way that the others have not Oh, that’s not the play That’s not the play you've known I need to pull you inwards with a candle in hand I've not lit it in past times like I've lit it today

Equanimity 02:32
Oh it's bad Really, really bad Dance about I need to keep whole just because I can Cut this collar from my neck Oh it's bad Really, really bad (They brush my gun) (They brush my gun) Oh it's bad Really, really bad I sound so much happier Than I really am But there's no shame in that But there's no shame in that I need to keep positive in my head I need to avoid all the thoughts of death (Too bad my carpet’s all covered with spit) (Now my fist is all wet)

Batter Pours 01:52
Life still is mine Why joke about Why cry about The things I don't do From the bottle pours Everybody's bath Won't they carry high Bucket on the back They'll miss every trip They'll miss every place They'll miss every line I arranged Why joke about Why slur of things I cannot do Right here in one room They fall apart They fall apart They fall apart They fall apart By my hand By my throne By my zygomatic bones Aren't they great So pronounced (They didn’t come naturally) (I had to starve)

Choke Valve 01:30
Go out, go output Let you, let you in Nights were formed and failed In my current valve Go out, go output Let you, let you in Oh they’re foiling my hope And my hostage sleeps Rise! Rule! Beget!
7.
Do I long to be whole I come, a soul, to our new world Take my voice The choice is yours I’d offer This to a lover Only her Only her Only her Only her Only her Only her Take my voice The choice is yours In our new world Take my voice It is not mine at all I only hold my note When I look and I see you’re here (When I’m sure I see) I’d offer This to a lover
8.
Take my bike Ride it back To my house Hope you get caught Hope you get caught Hope you get caught Hope you get killed (please) Deal, just once Pull my planet safe Two full years pop Need all parts for what I will be I want somebody, anyone to Vindicate the brilliant mind That they've inhumed I will feel my fullness returning back Only when I watch their lives At odds with their heads
9.
The Stakes 01:15
(Thus, the light comes out) (Thus, the light comes out) (Here, come get me) Live with mistakes Live with mistakes Live with mistakes Live with mistakes Don't wake up 'Cause the day on the calendar is not so far away From the day where she gave me an impression I was looking in the wrong-most place Don't wake up 'Cause the day on the calendar is not so far away From the day where I know my drink will pour itself
10.
We want you to go together We want you to go no further alone Oh, my love is touchless I’ve waited thirty months For you to change this It only hurts halfway down My mouth will lick Towards her doorway The hungriest dine late Like you and I The hungriest dine late Like you and I Soon you are with her No more blue outline For someone you’ve only seen with one eye I cannot wait to look at you with the two beneath We want you to go together We want you to go no further alone We want you to go together We want you to grow no further apart (Oh, it’s thundering I need to shut this off...)

Versus 01:03
Nobody ever said the same is fucking fair [Unintelligible] Code stamps Carried with you everywhere (Code stamps!) Hang him from the common hard tree (Hang him!) Denude him with the common trash bag (Pitch cap!)
12.
Master of foreplay Dreams in my ovens Dreaming backwards Soon in my heaven How’s this for you Fearing my health If I could touch you It would become a habit The star is leaning over you The star is kissing at your knee Lucky for me I have got two Master of foreplay Dreams in my ovens Dreaming backwards Soon in my heaven How’s this for you (You must come all alone to me) If I could touch you (To appreciate the way that it could be) Don’t you see First year Come alone Come alone And I know you have no statement You can Come alone Come alone And I hope I treat you like her The stalk is beating over you The stalk is eating up the vine The stalk is bleeding out the real you The stalk is nothing but divine Don’t you see (First year, come alone, come alone And I know you have no statement You can come alone, come alone And I hope I treat you like her) (First year, come alone, come alone And I know you have no statement You can come alone, come alone And I hope I treat you like her)
