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
2.
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
3.
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
