A Dance Of Storms 02:24
lyrics
buy track
i danced in electricity outside a brick paradise blue light flashed in the orgasmic sky and my eyes copied your eyes are like fireflies bleeding green into the air lift and color, pomp and flair i saw you then in a new disguise the midwest could never hold your hair it screamed of innocence and despair and i loved you and then i bent over to vomit my soul in response and respect that was when i saw written on the ground a fresh little cliche to take with me from Omaha, that said (chorus)

The Sun And His Daughter 05:02
lyrics

waking up the dream fades back to darkness a feeling of regret and words are stronger than sticks and stones they bruise the tissue her mother read her the lyrics to a song inside about days and nights strength strength is a past with a future someday will never fucking come so make it today in a crowd there are statues and scarecrows and gargoyles forget them all there are two figures on the horizon the sun and his daughter radiance hide behind the ugliness why can't you see it strength strength is a past with a future strength strength is a girl without a name i name you arachne i name you icarus i name you athena i name you prometheus i name you aphrodite i name you aphrodite i name you you

Blow/hard 06:06
lyrics
buy track
candles and air pressure, candles burning friendly in the daytime frozen to my face, it knows i took a step back and my feet, my feet tripped forward a little a little blow it was too late, the flames reach down down my arms and up my legs between my pubic bone caves blow throwing matchsticks like burning spears to the ground and a perfect girl with brown hair was walking slow slow slow motion and i froze she smiled blow (chorus) one day she said you were never as warm to me as that day so long long long long ago and then she rotated toward me i was frozen burning in the cold, but you thawed my heat you knew the trick you knew the trick you blow hard you knew the trick you knew the trick you blow hard

sixteen sixteen-year-olds i can't lose this sixteen corpses piled up i can't lose this what can't i say breathing out what can't i say breathing out you're hot with cancer i can use this you're hungry in the sun i can use this what can i say breathing in what can i say breathing in copper, you'll never catch me!

The Sacrifice 04:52
lyrics
buy track
the sun splits two ways into a right hand bedroom this hole inside me has been filled with anger i seek to grind somebody's face into the ground i belong to all these fake fucking platitudes that have raked my heart through make the overworn shell outside of me start to sag so i can shine to rape the martyr makes his sacrifice to rape in a run-down lean-to rape breaking out breaking up breaking down but never broken in making out making up breaking down but never broken in the martyr makes his sacrifice his life for the love of a trophy wife and alcohol alcohol alcohol alcohol and alcohol alcohol alcohol and raging anger against everything beautiful that he could see to (chorus) "the goddess inside of you the martyr inside of me combine in explosive force to rekindle our beauty. rape."

it's all tired in eyes i seem to feel yr brain crawling in my hands your face is like a child wandering inside of me tickling all my thoughts elevation elevation it's all dying dreams that come when yr not here one day i will win and you will drift away but faces stick like honey old days are coming back when whips knew how to crack and death knew where to step elevation elevation it's all i need some days when i'm all used up read to me from yr story book i will wait down by the pier until your breath is here

The Paper Writes You 03:44
lyrics

the pen flows sour your trade is catching up with you underwhelming formula for success and you like it that way alone surrounded and alone bleeding hearts are dripping down yr neck falling down and soaked to the bone and you come up to me but you could not speak your mouth was wired shut you grabbed a pen and scarred me but you drew yrself with exes on your eyes your eyes you write on the paper the paper it writes you but you drew yrself with exes on yr eyes you write on the paper the paper it writes you your eyes
