Kill the color Black and white Will do for now Black and white Seal the letter Red and black Sickly Hypochondriac Sickly My favorite way to be You'll care then You will -- Will it come in silver? Just a little sliver... Just a little blue I'ma follow you Has it been a fortnight? Close it is to midnight... Paint the body red Colors in my head

You been looking at your swollen ankles With your feet out first And didn't rewind And didn't rehearse You been looking at your curling toenails With your legs bent back And couldn't recline And couldn't relax Life is special with you Let's be friends

Will you give me what I want and more? If you won't then what'd you come here for? If you've come to open up my eyes, I'm Not a fan of any big surprises, nor Will I love I remember when you first recorded me In the bed and I became your slave Warm, cold pizza in your microwave Dancing I was five and you were six Riding horses made of sticks You were in the schoolyard Showing everybody tricks Was it blows or was it licks? Was it broken? Was it fixed? Was it bleeding through the nose? Or was it boarded up with bricks? And you said to me "Been so long you seemed dead to me." I spoke with you in my memory I saved the letters you'd send to me, whilst Dancing -- You will receive what you've earned The radiation will turn Will you melt or will you burn? Drinking drop from torn IV -- Dancing

That's a real dead doe I thought you oughta know... But you wouldn't let me go And the twigs below in the grass that grows In between our toes Will snap like bones in a dislocated shoulder Of the woman back home In the bed It was known, but instead you have shown me the dead And you said that we're never alone On the planet there's a spirit You can feel it in the woods Kids in the woods. Kids in the woods We're just human kids in the woods -- It's a dying squirrel Crooked fingers make it uncurl Here's a lunchbox, death, and a boy, and a girl And it feels we're the only ones left in the world I'm strapped to a bed; I hurl Handful of pills like the pearls on a necklace The insides of an oyster Mostly The bipedals'll talk about nothing They twist metal and think that it's something! The branches form a sort of a smile But here you don't need a Gameboy Kids in the woods. Kids in the woods We're just human kids in the woods -- Phew! For a minute there I lost myself!

I found you in bandages Whilst defecating on one knee Babies cry and crazies die In memory and surgery You sought a place where all was found - (Nothingness is hollow where we leak imagination.) Infinite light-years overground (Fallen bodies cascading in endless misadventures.) - I politely ask "Do you know the time of day?" Something in our past Tells you all I wanna say You sought a place where up was down - (Everyone is wired, lifeless, from station to station.) Reading tea leavеs underground (Fallen bodies cascading in еndless misadventures.) - Fallen Bodies - There's Easy above Easy in death Strangle what's left Seek what you sought Reap what you sow Eat what you know Bile and dog food Worms that glow Within a place where love's abound (Everything is dying in perpetual vacation.) Kill the color, kill the sound (Fallen bodies cascading in endless misadventures.) - Fallen Bodies

I confide in anything Stranger laying next to me Says he can't believe, but I've got something up my sleeve Trying not to breathe (I admire your resolve.) Intracelluar And uninvolved It just needed to be Problem solved

I expected this to turn out Kinda like the brain when they pull the worm out Kinda like a lame anesthetic, or the doubt That's glowing by a candle that will never burn out Grow it in your stomach I'm worn out Lick a needle right before they pluck the thorn out You're a little weasel crawling in me Through an open door Every time I wish I'd never been born. Pouty Little girl; hollow heart and far gone... Wait until you've grown I think you're stupid Play me and I'll always win I really like you Cut yourself and let me in I think you're bleeding Macrocosm conjoined twin Start again. Start again Certainly you'll never find out What you really want before it rips your mind out Goofy little cuntfuck, why'd you sign out? Systematically, emphatically you'll undermine doubt You're peeling off your skin Just so you can dance about And make a spectacle and obfuscate your lexicon To free your mind and try to let it go Which could work, but it's purely theoretical And nothing's set in stone Even if your mother said, it so... Don't speak I'm living in an enthymeme You try and pay the rent And do the things that wiser people deem necessary The incessant vapidity of being is barely A distraction from its fluidity Which is kinda scary, considering its acidity To pop your cherry doesn't strip of you of validity I have a fear: My world is getting rid of me I think you're stupid I really like you. (Or I despise you.) The macrocosm. (Your microcosm.) You must be stupid Play me and I'll always win I really like you Cut yourself and let me in I think you're bleeding Macrocosm conjoined twin Start again. Start again

Sometimes you dry with the laundry Sometimes you die and you haunt me In this house Stray cat kills the mouse Sometimes you sleep through the morning Sometimes the spectre that storms in Wakes you up Faulty reception breaks you up I thought you hit a ceiling But you keep raising the bar You're like the Michael Jordan Of being fucking hard to understand Say you wouldn't say you wouldn't say you would Say you wouldn't say you wouldn't say you would Say you wouldn't say you wouldn't say you would Say you wouldn't say you would

If you give me what I want and more... My heart can be an open door! Make a wish before I close my eyes, and Hold tight before it cracks and cries! And I feel in love! Every memory and de ja voodoo seems Like a silly game of knight and knave; well Everybody wants to be your slave! Come into my room. Come into my room! Just don't come too soon... I was six and maybe you were five; you Hadn't even really felt alive. My White teeth told your tongue to stop Post-feminism on a hot black top! Did you understand? Far from yеsterday; you still could be a man If you view it as a path to pavе, where I'm never gonna be your slave! Come into my room. Come into my room! Just don't come too soon... Might be your doom! Flowers may bloom.

The mosquito in my eyes is Pulling my strings He theorizes Many things I ask too much And every time you Feel you're going nowhere Clinging onto devils Know that love is out there Bringing people closer Bleeding flesh of doubt and fear Love is a vampire Peer into the dark The mosquito In my eyes I want to meet you I want to feed you I want to need you I want to bleed you

"Everything is particles and cracks." Maybe, but you read it in an article, relax - From a dirty magazine, tucked underneath the pillow Tearing at the seams; you were weeping like a willow When life curb stomped you in a steel toe Boot. Blood shed on its snow white suit You're dead and it's hard to refute What I said in the time that it takes Maybe You and I meet in the next life Where horn toads and frogs will Rain on me Tell me the heavens will opеn And I won't think you're crazy What prism are we in? I undеrwent a schism now I'm slipping from my skin I'm losing vision, you're growing thin Binary fission. Earth won't spin Since when? I can feel the end! Everything around me quits playing pretend And the moment where you found me Is the moment I began And the skeleton is drowning into particles of sand Gunshot bang bang whimper hydrogen Implosion get simpler. I defend My left arm. Kitchen. Steak knife Blood as warm as the planet that will take life Which descends in a visage of entropy Atrophy swallows the stitches Pretension is apathy clawing the itches That burst when you laugh at me Struggling to wake -- I'm sorry I'm not the one To be your Final home As I loved And hurt you My heart Grew into stone -- What's a stranger to do? Slide a foot in each shoe! Just the same, but brand new Kiss the void and turn up! - My children, let those bodies burn up Spread those ashes, dance in the dust Young children, now's the time to join us And rise from your bed! Wakey, wakey Wakey, wakey Eggs and breaky Eggs and breaky God just take me! God! What's taken me so long?
