Aloof. 02:45
Sometimes I have nothing to say Sometimes I get in my own way Everybody tells me I don't feel (And even when I do it's prolly not real.) Have I been here before? Watching you run through an open door? Couldn't you tell me? Wouldn't you tell me if I have? Oh baby why won't you talk to me oh baby you just want me empty oh baby you won't say anything oh baby why won't you answer me I feel Feel nothing Feel nothing I feel -- Sorry It's cold It's not Aloof

Horoscope. 02:44
Before we tie the rope We check our horoscope together You said it'd be fun and We won’t tell anyone about it; Like the other day When you locked yourself outside Compelled to kneel and pray For all the birds that died And guide them to heaven With the strength of your mind alone Because their spirits get lost in the airwaves And they'll haunt Our cell phones And plague us with visions of building nests And eating worms All on a mound of dirt that loops around a ball Of gas that burns Alone Thru the dark There's no such constellation To frame this conversation Between our distant bodies In laundry rooms at parties I never thought you’d show! (with glitter caked on your face) I watched your antlers grow We looped around in space Alone Thru the dark Don't be cruel Won't it be cool?

City of ice. 03:48
You're like an icicle You're like the ice that pulls the City beneath the ground We're taking off our clothes I think you got my head fucked up The leaves are turning brown And when the sun comes out We all will drown You'd think it's an epidemic We're dropping left and right You should quit watching Tarkovsky To weather the sleepless nights You know it just gets your head fucked up And leaves you feeling down Like when the sun comes out And we all drown (on second thought well i really like the ending of "Nostalghia" when the camera keeps zooming back and the guy is there in front of the house with his dog in the snow and it's like ohh my gawwwd) "Hmm... maybe a little pretentious..." No! 'cos I'm not pretending you ever feel like the world is ending? and nothing's moving? well melancholy is soothing at least to me i mean even if it's just boring and your head gets to nodding and you're snoring and your body's hastily rotting and you sleep with gurneys of downtrodden pillowtalkers that creep phantomwise into your life ... There's no escape it's made of ice it changes shape just to screw our heads in a vice and crush em like grapes -- - I had a bicycle But then my bike got stolen I think it was a government man And both my eyes are swollen shut So I can't review our plans On how to leave this town And if we don't leave soon We all will drown -- It gets my head fucked up It gets ahead Oh yeah

Shadow play. 02:59
You already tried that You should have remembered: It wasn't working It led you to nowhere It went in before you, locking the door Please. Turn away I’m not your shadow No, no. Not today I'm not your shadow You're stuck in a bathroom But I cannot enter unless I’m invited You slip in your own blood I look at my body, cold on the floor Please. Turn away I'm not your shadow No, no. Not today I'm not your shadow Please. Turn away I'm not your shadow Maybe (you're in denial) Maybe I am I am

Icelandia. 03:15
You push me in the geyser Individualizer Now my sense of understanding is gone My sense of where I'm standing is gone There is no tyranny in the state of confusion But I don't know what I'm standing on You open up a window And I fall in a volcano Now everything I planned is just gone Everything I could handle is gone I fall away from all that is an illusion But I don't know what I'm landing on It's gone What I mean is gone All gone
6.
To heaven you'll depart And there you'll meet a girl who expands your mind And opens up your heart You'll find the puller of your unseen strings And all the little things You left behind To free of you You knew it from the start It's written on the wind that screams your name Through the dark And hidden in the rain You'll struggle to forget yourself And wonder if you could be anybody else If the world would Forgive your pain -- I miss you

Anomolies. 03:17
The way you left me Led me to question My whole existence Did you forget me With the Kibbles and bits in the mud? Neither the flesh nor the blood Led to an unlocked door Now it's you Lying with someone else Trying to find yourself Hoping there's something there What if there's nothing left To make you feel special? Within this landfill Where just a handful Can handle you And how you're full of yourself And now you're with someone else I thought you were different And you could save me You talked your game up Just to betray me Or did I betray myself? Thinking I'm someone else...

Bae I didn't know Somehow I missed the sign Maybe next time But alas! What is time? Well Everyone reckons that it’s just an illusion As we're submerged in shadows we seek Solace in linearity (nearing the singularity) Wolves! (scaring the children) Piglets needs houses to live in Just for(e)closure Can I call you tonight? If I blow Just use our safe word: "alright" Tell me it'll be all right? Tell me it’ll be all right? Tell me it'll be all right? -- (what is happening to me. bе still. stop fighting. please. none of us has much timе. what is happening to me. stop breathing. stop thinking. be nothing. god help me. surrender. but what will become of me. stop worrying. it's not up to you. fine. can i call you tonight though?)

Alone. 07:19
What you're thinking I'm saying Is not what I'm really saying It's kinda getting me thinking That you're not paying attention I shit the bed that we lay in I almost forgot to mention When you were at the temple praying To Buddha To take away the pain of Samsara I ordered takeaway And I can get it tomorrow But they didn't have the gluten-free So I did what I had to do And ordered just for me And not for you Is there room for two On your bicycle? This whole week's supposed to be cold As an icicle Or maybe I can borrow it... But if pride's not something that you can swallow, well I didn't ask you to stay You know it's not gonna last anyway It's difficult to grasp what you say You wanna thrash about in the gray You wanna crash and i wanna play Well for a minute the only thing we wanted to do was lay In the cellar blowing out the cartridge Of Earthbound 2 And now pillars of ice surround you Within the palace where i found you -- I'm gonna live on the moon And watch seasons Of our favorite cartoon in 3D Whilst Union Square and DC turn to dust And the Megabus just burns up and rusts It's forlorn and torn in this gusty Black morning and warns to not trust me Lost children and pixies bust me You'll feel sick betwixt what's just me And a bedroom that stays messy You know that we'll rot within unless we Go into the cold and start undressing -- (when the sleeper awakes The dream dies The heart breaks The soul cries out For another one That won't come true Until you do When the sleeper awakes) -- Go into the cold and start undressing Do it on your own and learn your lesson Oscillating bodies in confession I can find a way. (I have direction) Everything's at once perfection and broken When high on whatever Schrodinger was smoking That one time you thought i was joking? I wasn't The other time you thought I was serious? Well it doesn't even matter now; it's all in the past Walking underneath a ladder that's as tall as the grass In the backyard Where you grew an only child of two Little Indians as clueless and as stupid as you In your humble beginnings We're all gonna die, why the hell are you grinning? We're living a lie; there was never a ceiling fan That was spinning because there was never a ceiling There was never a sky, there was never a feeling, and That's why whenever you tried to cry Whenever I broke your heart You'd reopen a wound that was healing That was dry as the nuggets in your happy meal Ah fuck it, it's like all the other crap we feel It's real and suddenly isn't real The weather's only to change, your skin is only to peel Your skeleton's just to freak you out And create structure What happened to us? I'm not sure... Whatever was pure was unpure Then you tracked dirt all over the kitchen floor I don't know what i was bitching for, though, cuz - I dunno it's just dirt It's really just dirt It's just goddamn dirt

Awake. 03:50
In the presence of the queen The bard is hopping the gate Wondering how it became so hard to communicate Where there used to be an open window His number's blocked from her phone At the risk of living in great danger He'll give it up and be a farmer Or a telemarketer in Oregon Anything where he can not bring harm to The hidden pillars of flame that thaw out Her majеsty's frozen bones But the wildеrness is wolves abound And every step taken from the shoreline Leaves him sure to drown in water She only built a palace on the icy ground To live alone Saying "No no no no why won't anybody ever Go away?" Go away If you do, I know a way You can get away from me If you want to escape me I can help you escape me I just wanna be sure that you do Really want to Go away Go away If you do, I know a way But you have to stay from me

about

"And they were further apart than ever and she grew more and more uncomprehending every moment; he saw that with every word he said he went further and further down in her estimation, down, down, down, because he was being selfish and unfeeling about the poor, scarred girl." --Angela Carter, "Shadow Dance"
