Drama Queen 04:36
lyrics
Welcome back, said the ocean to the rain Much has changed while you were away But I can see that you’ve also changed You’re not the same, you’re not the same Was it the dark earth that devoured you? Did they bury you? Did they die for you? You were supposed to flow through all life And not evaporate under the bright lights Oh, you filthy little thing Sold your mother’s dear purity ring Such a disappointment, such a drag Well, come now, pollute me The drama queen dancing in the forest at night Dancing slowly and around her nothing is what it seems The drama queen and the things she’s done to me Well, I’d still reach out to her I would dance slowly, too Slowly with you Skin like silk paper, eaten by moths Covered in mildew, stained by loss The rivers run dry and so you crawl to me The digestive tract of a leech, teeth of a nocturnal beast But forgive these cruel animals for what they are They’re guided by parasites, making their way to the body farm And another changeling appears Through a door that wasn’t here yesterday And another changeling appears Through the rain, through the fog, past the traps that I made Oh, you filthy little thing Sold your mother’s dear purity ring Such a disappointment, such a drag Well, come now and dance with me

Leper 03:23
lyrics
The soul is the parasite, the body is the host And you rot prematurely, you decompose Still you dwell in decay and refuse to let go Hibernate in dead meat just like a ghost Don’t call it life just because you’re still breathing Dear Dorian Pretty in portraits Walk the never-ending pier Follow what you left behind Walk the never-ending pier And wonder was there ever a shore Say your name three times in front of the mirror Maybe someday your reflection will appear The emptiness you see is all that’s real Sleep sound now, the end is always near Come ye silent and the meek My eye for your eye, my teeth for your teeth Give them to me Gimme, gimme, gimme Ah, I unravel from the seams and reveal things that can’t be seen And without you I fall apart like the leper from my dream
3.
Bone Rosary 03:52
lyrics
That rattling sound calls out to me again The rosary resonates with me The wind whistles a coy melody Oh, Mother Moon, the things I’d do for you Tracing the rim of forthcoming night I’ve danced on my grave a thousand times Sacrificing all them vacuous thoughts Oh, Mother, what have I done? The moon bares its teeth Sink ’em in Bones of Mary Scattered on the spiral staircase, listen up Bones of Mary I’m cursed to descend forever Did you close your eyes? Did you count the time? Did we make it past midnight? Were we alive when the end was just another milestone? Did you close your eyes and lose track of time? Was there nothing past midnight? And we aligned when the end was something to die for The mausoleum corridors scream madly I’ve been reaching for the beacon that smiles at me I hold these bones close and wait for rapture Oh, Mother Moon, it’s all for you Come on, sink ’em in Moon bares its teeth Now close your eyes Until we align, until midnight Now close your eyes and lose track of time Was there nothing past midnight? Until we align, one last midnight

Antlers 03:45
lyrics
I inhale existence, it filters through a cloth What remains as stains are purpose and who we are The essential vacuum in the mind Come, let’s cause contempt The well-seasoned ignorance Vague notion of a beating heart If you want to escape, if you want to live Come now and watch TV And remember to grow as you implode Struggle to smile as the void sucks you dry I wear them like a crown Embed in my head One with the tangled bone These antlers I have grown I wear them like a crown Embed in my head Where solitude is god I am home Love marinades the meat Come feed it to the feral beast With fear you dominate the feast Preserved in salt, embalmed with plastic Step-by-step climb a pyramid scheme Reach a parallel cosmos and end up on the streets When you are gone, I am home Oh, wear it on your sleeve Apathy and greed You control the weathe With pollution and grief How much more do you need?
5.
Human Wardobe 03:09
lyrics
I bow and make a scene like you want me to I dance and smile according to your style And love you when I am allowed to Tonight we define what you are You have seams that need to come apart Tonight we define what we’ve become We’ll be fine inside a glass jar Flinched Adored you I want to cross-dress with your skin and you want it, too Fill your mouth with compulsive happiness Then purge yourself with bulimia I adored you so much Tonight we define the roles we play Tonight we decide that no safe words can save me
6.
Amygdala Is Dead 04:16
lyrics
I assimilate past with dead leaves Crows circling the corners of my eyes And the tighter I hold on, the more it crumbles Earth devours the leaves, something else is born And memories turn into lies They wane, hibernate and then die If you’re stuck, you’re stuck forever Like that doll in the attic With its eyes half open And unable to wake up If you’re stuck, you’re stuck forever But we’re in this together Facing the wall, you can’t see I’m stuck just like you My family has always been A thousand years pass and they never age And my son is the ghost of my father He disappears and something else is born Amygdala is dead When the hell in one’s heart burns brighter than love
7.
Nocturnal Brooding 04:13
lyrics
40 milligrammes of other realities on the nightstand Arranged in colors, labeled by horror I can barely breathe In the mausoleum that’s expected of me It’s too much to take Somehow I endure, but for whom? Lay the eggs no one adores Minutes away from doomsday, how could I sleep? There’s still time to try but no one can escape It crawls into the mind and bends the loop inside This midnight dormant in time I can barely breathe As I see the door disappear And it’s too much to take While you stand in the corner, whispering my name
8.
Somnambulist 03:38
lyrics
Slow waves alter me I’ve reached something that I can’t see Every night it waits for me While I make sure the door’s ajar Yeah, they’ve got it in for me Teeth snarling and caked with old blood Yeah, I walk among them Not sure if I want to wake up And in the rhymes of lullabies, I hide in plain sight ’Cause I’ve got everything I need, it’s real enough for me And in the rhymes of lullabies, no reason to be found Yeah, I’ve got everything I need, don’t take it away from me I can’t suffocate them They whisper under my pillow The words seep through the linen Soft whimpers, never wake up Sing me a lullaby I can dance to Reality wears stitches on its skin Unravel them and see what it’s like I hibernate and the winter never ends Let me walk this earth dreaming I’m somewhere else
9.
Cartoon Violence 03:33
lyrics
I’m a sensitive sociopath I mourn for you and drag you to my limbo I’m a posthumous paradox Born to confuse the dopey kids The trademark animals love to smile and kill, kill, kill The trademark animals will fill you with thrill Tame it all With copyrighted catchphrases Tame it all With animals singing da da da da da Born free Into this vortex Born free Singing da da da da da I’m a formless hole in your plot But you made me so I belong here And I’d rather be a paradox Than have to stand another second of this Let me go In your house There are rooms without doors There are corridors that don’t exist But you’re born free, you’re free to leave That’s all, folks!

Mysteries of Being 04:37
lyrics
I have stared long enough at the ocean To see patterns in the waves I have longed for more than I have lost Hence I feel like there’s nothing at all And the fools who dream, they never live But at least they see something more than this In my dreams I am never asleep Eyes on the wall, can you see beyond? Born into the never-ending maze Tear down the obstacles in vain It can’t be, it can’t be, it can’t be just another wall Just breathe, just breathe, just breathe, we can escape Those sceptic words still echo in my head Although I don’t know why ’Cause I’d rather be delusional Than spend a lifetime staring at walls Here I am, I stand my ground It crumbles but I stand my ground Shed my dead leaves No one waters the wallflowers But we’re still breathing It can't be / can't beat it
11.
Death of Electricity 03:51
lyrics
A cord in the heart of being There are roots within roots They’re branching forever without cause And nothing ever happened? Hold me close, let’s just recharge Hold me close now and forever And you’re scaring me, you’re scaring me So just hold me, never let go And your wounds and fears, they need keys to heal Still you’re standing tall in the vortex you have locked Why can’t you see? Why can’t you see? Your demons were here before you Let it flow through you, set it in its place Oh, can’t we unite on the other side of the other side? Your demons were here before you, waiting to sink their teeth... Darling, can’t you see? Darling, can’t you see? Then let your fingers trace the shapes over your swollen eyes
12.
White Lung 05:35
lyrics
We’re the only ones awake tonight And yet it feels like we’re sharing a dream The patterns that breathe behind invisible things They align, take form and find the right shape But have we shared such silence before? Have words ever been more trivial? Out here I can see my soul flee From reality that we all share Take my voice And don’t you dare to suffocate the silence Just breathe it in The white lung in silence tonight And if you try to catch it as it falls I’ll devote myself and trace the shapes of your footprints And don’t you dare to suffocate the silence Don’t even whisper And the white lung inhales our sorrow In a snow globe Stuck in here And don’t you dare to suffocate the silence Don’t even whisper The white lung inhales our sorrow Where the shapes we made Get buried and adapt with the snow Someday the secret will be cast on the clouds
