I Dreamt I Died
02:19
|

i came from the caves
and now i’m going back
you can forget my name
so you can just relax
i’ve wandered so long
in this modern reverie
because i dreamt i died
because the cellar floor
with no sleep at night
with no sleep at all
i’ve wandered so long
in this modern reverie
we can borrow a mock civility
but we’ll hang the righteous at dawn
they storied paintings on the wall
all told in fire ash and water and blood

Nothing Complete
02:14
|
|||
these trusted organs
coughed up and spitting out
your body, baby it can’t save you
it’s a cracked adornment
wondering where all your dreams went?
i tell you nothing completes
how can you make a decision?
you’re cutting out
the testimony
your pledge to kill it out
the empty place set at the table
this feast a warning
wondering where all your dreams went?
i tell you nothing completes
how can you make a decision
when you’re cutting out?
you thought you’d chase the war; wash your face with rain
like this short evolution has somehow made you sane
no destiny, no time at all
to rest in this illusion; pretending you won’t fall

Butcher's Block
02:21
|
|||
my compromise is standing still
since you bit a mouthful off my will
put a bullet in deep in my head
and just shove me off this world
the blood i can carry in my veins
you will use to break me of my ways
reduce, redefine
to dilute and diminish every line but,
otherwise
it’s bleed on the butcher’s block for us
i want to die like an animal
the other side
is stealing the butcher’s block from us
dead in a chair and forgotten
our words the rounds shot in this war
now i’m bleeding on the kitchen floor
face down like the palm on the cheek
but still cutting to the marrow
the blood i can carry in my veins
you will use to break me of my ways
reduce, redefine
to dilute and diminish every line but,
otherwise
it’s bleed on the butcher’s block for us
i want to die like an animal
the other side
is stealing the butcher’s block from us
dead in a chair and forgotten
when my body breaks like a shell dissolving in the rain
you’re gonna taste my angry love
love
love

Cover It Up
02:02
|
|||
they call it a nation
they call it safe
but an instance of rebellion
is just to look upon the face
like poison seeds we’re turning under
now growing hate rows
they couldn’t see it,
now cover it up, we’ll settle
cover it up
we’re only asking how
they could find a way
to muffle the sound
of patriots shamed,
like poison seeds we’re turning under
now growing hate rows
they couldn’t see it.
we took your word
we bought your clothes
but while you’re sleeping
the tension grows…let it grow
can’t you feel it?
justice knows when it dies.
i pledge to watch it crumble
i pledge to climb the wall
monuments yield to redress
they are condemned to fall
and when they pull the curtain i’ll cut it up; cut it off the wall
1, 2, 3, GO
cover it up, we’ll settle
cover it up, we’ll settle

Unbelievers
02:03
|
|||
like falling up we’re
chasing invisible tails
the order on the page
never enough for the hunters chasing long
an antiquated rage
we aimed high
the unbelievers
a fire bright for so long must fade out
through white ways
we came to meet you
now we’re writing the prologue to faith
all of the voices
corrupted magical phrase
to take the pain away
looking to fear like
the whip that steers the flock
over the cliffs of shame
we aimed high
the unbelievers
a fire bright for so long must fade out
through white ways
we came to meet you
now we’re writing the prologue to faith
ohhhh
no, not convinced of it’s shape
ohhhh
no, not convinced you know all
like falling up we’re
chasing invisible tails
the order on the page
