Dead Wait 06:47
What were the odds That everything we'd thought to plan Would go down so wrong? Dead on arrival It's now clear enough to know This is how it begins to end Leave me the room To set the table for two If we pull through To carry on Carrying that same old Oppressive minutiae Then we'll run to the houses up on hillsides And remain indoors of course Then ride the landslide through the night of the long knives Pushing each other overboard Wade in the turbid mercury Reinforce hyperbole For authenticity but really What you give and what you take and what you make of it will finally Break me Fools gold Was stealing the vote Fools gold Stole our hope Now we'll run for our lives miles to the mines On cobble stone roads We'll keep on keeping on while the canaries die Overdosed on life Reinforce hyperbole For authenticity but really What we had and what you took and what you did with it will finally Break me in two Fools gold Stole my vote But i won't play the spawn of a generation When you blame me for what I am While forgetting who you're not When it goes up in smoke I'll just take a toke and never let it out Ride out the high for all time Watch as the vapor greys the horizon Leave me to choose From the options of the guillotine or gallows To distract me from Writing our swan song

Locusts line the entire path back home We dance to the cadence Tinitus had consumed the alarm Set only to posture Tetraphobic when it's simply just us four We sang like a choir Forlorness blocked the air horn Wrapping us with eight arms So I dreamt these dreams for you It's all I could ever think to do While you were drowning In the shallow end Dormant tactics Flagrant recall Scrap the sacrilegious holy grail No blood on our hands Evidence held by Aphrodite Left her speechless again So I dreamt these dreams for you It's all I could ever think to do While you were drowning In the shallow end Bailing us out While you're bailing it back into the bow Into the panic, we'll go Either or both of us in tow Into the void, we'll go Lock-stepped barefoot Drunk with hope Into the panic, we'll go Either or both of us in tow Into the void, we'll go Always stitched together alone Into the panic, we'll go Either or both of us in tow Into the void, we'll go Side-stepped the old manners of Job To one day waste away In harmony You end where I started

When you're right, you're right This crow won't eat itself by itself in mid-flight When you’re right, you’re right First to know, last to show The conflict in between your identities Guess it's me with nothing to lose Lost value in something to prove I never thought I'd see this far We lost value in holding our own Camping out on a microphone Dying to hide openly spying So stay down where you are Live where you've been in your own blue truth And just call me when it's over when they finally source the cure I wish I could recall Some bullshit metaphor Of some tree needing all its leaves to die Just to be reborn Set it up just to knock it down You never really needed me around It required something closer to yourself So just call me when it's over When they finally source that fourth sore When you're right you're right This crow won't eat itself by itself in mid-flight So goodbye goodluck Back to the places that we once had stuck Out to the degree that you found first found me How else would I have known The dress code? How else would I have known Everything unspoken How else would I have known Such a difficult dress code Bare

As Within 04:47
They brought it to a boil The periphery closed They wont call it disorder But you’d already known They had it at a boil But it felt like a sprawl They won’t warn its looming But you made the call You were there to look that gifthorse in the mouth You were there to run the mendacious from the town Now it seems we might never get there Now it seems I may never get there To be measured in stars To go forth with this march At what cost? At what cost? (Now it seems we may never get there) So I will prone myself Expose myself Sacrifice all wellness Just for a certain death I’m wearing you out For a night on the town Displaying commonalities With those that escaped the Pliocene

So Without 06:44
Too aware not to care for the standards So why leave us empty-handed? Too in tune not to see through the veil So why leave it all behind? Suspending Reentry A close call Worth mentioning Opening letters Forwarded in error Arrive at the exosphere Now respirate right Here, apart Pixelated promises A break in the code Pixelated promises Augmented Safe Too aware not to care for the standards So why leave us empty-handed? Too in tune not to see through the veil So why leave it all behind? Leave it all behind Leave it all behind Leave it “mine” Carnations grab the whole truth out of you If only we cared for content control Calling a spade a spade Won't ever change a thing I'm digging my way back to you Calling the kettle black A shitty misdirect I'm kicking out weak excuses Too aware not to care for the standards So why leave us empty-handed? Too in tune not to see through the veil So why leave it all behind? Notice the certain stains on the dossier They've soaked in permanently You're totally buried Under the mark of midlife adjournment Here, apart Pixelated promises A break in the code Pixelated promises Augmented Null and void Null employ Null Safe, in the hands of the past Safe, out of the chain of command Safe, in the hands of the past Safe, far from first but not dead last Burning up all our blessings In black lanterns

Did you think that I would give away your location? Should you know mine I tried to give it to you before Twice When you can't sell your false equivalency How will you maintain the flame held to my feet? What was that name you gave the shallow graves All those archetypes would demonstrate in corpse paint What was that line you'd always let fly everytime i missed the mark just barely Even if you tried Quite frankly we're on divergent sides I know you know I know you fucked me twice When you let the darkness in to begin with To begin with a retrofit To begin with An apocalypse Shapeless in the shadows Clear in the mirror No one saw that cross to bear Hanging us bare Were you really afraid that I Would give away your location Should you know mine You don't elude me this day and this (time) Even if you tried statistically we're too late in life I know you know you really fucked me twice when you Let the darkness in to begin with Even if I tried Something tells me we're too deep in time You've known I knew you really fucked me twice When you let the darkness in to begin with an apocalypse Not afraid to change my name If I know that you'll regard it as Cowardice (to ice your veins) Spoon fed as lessons Disguised as questions Spoon fed (and) Marked the devil

False Engine 06:30
A poor performance out in the vestibule To a closed casket down the center of the New Year's Day parade A poorly attended convention To a spate of legionnaires Packed into the passages Ventilator You owe me your life Each breath was mine to deny But you hold the lever Gatekeeper You owe me access You owe me a final breath Ignite the bottom floor Xylene skin Charring every choice But to start once again Of all the places to pick your battles None were warm Nothing freed is ever subtle Long ignored A description to save all the suitors' time To reconcile a once-disgraced anemic bloodline Elimate Elimate Deaf to the pitter-patter Primed for vacancy Room for thunder Blind at the top of a ladder Primed for atrocity Room for flame Drawl it out for days Drag it out of me An ellipted deliverance gone by To the moment the moth swam it's last race through the sunrise No concern will make the tables turn Contractions only known to nurse Ventilator You owe me your life Each breath was mine to deny But you hold the lever Gatekeeper You owe me access You owe me a final breath To squeeze It out of me Finally

Laches 07:59
Smooth over loosened vacancies Enough just to fake some sort of fulfillment Phone in creature comforts between us Enough just to feel some sort of convincement I must have missed it Opia only left her first name with me When I kept on staring Then checked her bags only moments before disappearing Under the coals Glowing cold Closely toeing a line At brackish and brine It's just fine She'll break open containers Of silt on new pavement Still singing her praises Votes won't be counted No votes will be counted Fool the courier With subtle discretion An honorable mention Votes won't be counted No votes will be counted Fool the jeweler Buttressed against empty partitions She'll throw her weight into this world Uncoiled Opia only left her first name with me When I kept on staring and staring Then checked her bags only moments before disappearing Under the coals Glowing cold Votes won't be counted No votes will be counted Fool the reaper So clever with her carnage "So-so" clever with her carnage Votes won't be counted No votes will be counted Fool the publican Internment Condo Complete with a Future primary guesthouse The closest thing to get us to Convalesce Quietly Hover above Aerial level to implode Crude usage Undetermined movement Low hanging fruit A reach beyond headstone Engaged with a root Pulling Roosting on bare nest Roosting on bare nest Pulling past arms length Glowing cold Subsystem truths Subway beneath her Subsystem truths Subway beneath her Bowing out of servitude Opting out of electing Haunting myself With her body Haunting myself With her body To protect from A misunderstanding To protect from A fatal Protist closing eyelids in time, Synced with everything opposite: Real name Fake lane Bedroom Vacant Again Braced for fatal landing Desire is reckless Desire is love Desire is aimless Desire is death
