Feast of Praline 02:48
lyrics
buy track
Among the rocks and rubble I found the next extreme A fountain feast upon the eyes of yours truly Passed a smear of silt The history in the dirt Some leftover mediocre salt and starch Alone for me Feast of praline Feast of reckoning Weathered down by bombs and blows And left with all but cavities Feast of praline Feast of reckoning The taste of chalk and sugar Linger heavy on the trigger finger Scope the dusk for signs of life Smoke signals—SOS This place is a haunted house now Save your thoughts Dwell on remorse for time gone When it’s darker stranger fainter And the taste lingers still Save your thoughts Dwell on remorse for time gone When it’s darker stranger fainter And the taste lingers on still Dying in seven or eight summers Some no matter how hot outside for a few Minutes Paper in a fist I was there at the beginning but not the end Isn’t that the way it’s always been? Things are better beyond the pale

Friends I've Never Seen 02:51
lyrics
buy track
After hours means nothing to me Neon follow me home Burn their words inside my eyes so I won’t Forget them The dry quiet nights The smell of burnt rubber Too many people too close on all sides And friends I’ve never seen Friends I’ve never seen Swing hard for my turn You’re gonna feel it tomorrow Splinter my knuckles and blacken my knees And leave me supine before you leave And on to the next bar That thing I need is gone As a favorite 11 in 99 I just want to make sure that these are all Good things There are worse things I could do Under red lights Swing hard for my turn You’re gonna feel it tomorrow Splinter my knuckles and blacken my knees And leave me supine before you leave Swing hard for my turn You’re gonna feel it tomorrow Splinter my knuckles and blacken my knees And leave me supine before you— After hours means nothing to me Neon follow me home

Of Certain Conditions 02:36
lyrics
buy track
Of certain conditions That weren’t meant to be forgotten You could hardly call it an island Imprinting above and down the line I see it in your faces gaping silently Stay away I’ve never been there and have No wish to go I’ve never been there and have No wish to go Waves in the dark When the tide door rattles hold your breath So they won’t find you Can it be too late for me? I can see them in the glass Limping through the streets With your hissing namelessly That one I recall good and old Such places have strange properties Now I’ll make you see Can it be too late for me? I can see them in the glass Limping through the streets With your hissing namelessly That one I recall good and old Such places have strange properties Waiting in their cities and for eons after Fade to black Can it be too late for me? I can see them in the glass Limping through the streets With your hissing namelessly That one I recall good and old Such places have strange properties

Where All the Dead Lie 02:53
lyrics
buy track
Midwinter failing light Hold tighter cease to be Boxed soil on the windowsills Pressing for more stories Splinters slipping into ducts and valves Can you see the order? Where all the dead lie The seeds and roots saw not Underground Larks and rays wheeling from up above Where all the dead lie With bulbs and sight he does not Dare to walk Remember to hold your conscience To your heart See the ugliness in every part Suspended in a mirror Splinters slipping into ducts and valves Can you see the order? How many times are you willing to count? Funeral pyre is ready to mount I would do anything to see you again Float down river in the end Where all the dead lie The seeds and roots saw not Underground Larks and rays wheeling from up above Where all the dead lie With bulbs and sight he does not Dare to walk Remember to hold your conscience To your heart I am clear Cut glass against the ceiling Don’t meet their eyes Where all the dead lie The seeds and roots saw not Underground Larks and rays wheeling from up above Where all the dead lie With bulbs and sight he does not Dare to walk Remember to hold your conscience To your heart Where all the dead lie The seeds and roots saw not Underground Larks and rays wheeling from up above Where all the dead lie With bulbs and sight he does not Dare to walk Remember to hold your conscience Underground

Saturn Saturn 04:56
lyrics

Dead center bullseye My jowl’s a mess of flesh and folly Stop can’t stop can’t stop can’t stop can’t Insatiable grip got me by the face This is what it means Heritage bridge I’ve washed my hands a thousand times They are still mine The things i thought I knew The flesh I thought I valued The feeling I know I own I am at least an animal I do not recognize Unable to close my eyes wide Covered in the ashes of our forefathers Blood in—blood out Slather it slick across my mouth Dead center bullseye My jowl’s a mess of flesh and folly I can’t stop can’t stop can’t stop Insatiable grip got me by the face Saturn Saturn Can you stop your own second sight? Oh Saturn Do you hear what I’m saying? They’ll come for you One by one Skull to toe Eat or be eaten The things i thought I knew The flesh I thought I valued The feeling I know I own I am at least an animal

Panic If You Must, but Later 02:59
lyrics
buy track
This house is a submarine Fellow A-gangers and air breathers Tucked in deaths of metal Sharing everything You want to be driven up Driven mad by your neighbor Breach the unchanging current For a clear view of the block Lights at dark Sonar in the streets Doppler heartbeats in every bunk I wish you could hear how quiet it is 32 and a wakeup Can you stick around for this? Meander with pipes and gaskets Red lights and warning calls 32 and a wakeup I dreamt I was something else Another time same friends different house Do you remember? Ever when Do you really? Never then Don’t forget about the ire Why it’s there who it’s for how I’ll let You fall down every stair Why I oughta Half moons in our palms and Not enough lip to bite Lights at dark Sonar in the streets Doppler heartbeats in every bunk I wish you could hear how quiet it is I’ll put you away I’ll put you away I am not what I used to be I am not what I used to be

Arcana 02:06
lyrics

Unlike anything I’ve Touched before Your voice blisters Tender smarting I can’t remember how to feel But I think this is dead on Imagine 7 years ago had we been any wiser How the reflection would’ve changed Turn another card Reversed and upsidedown I am the major to your minor Arcana Hermit Hierophant I won’t be swayed By the outside Trust your instincts I can’t remember how to feel But I think this is dead on Imagine 7 years ago had we been any wiser How the reflection would’ve changed Misfortune smoke and roses Tear the snarls from your hair I am the minor to your major Arcana Imagine 7 years ago had we been any wiser How the reflection would’ve changed Misfortune smoke and roses Tear the snarls from your hair But I think this is dead on

The Hanged Man 03:25
lyrics
buy track
Things oh how they have changed A cosmic shift in the brain My jaw’s a steel trap door Mechanism making up words To ease it Wood of holly’s backed by the sea A city of saints they say But we know better An antidote for modern living The image is wrong repeat The image It’s all I can see An antidote for modern living The image is wrong repeat The image It’s all I can see You seem so familiar hanging there Somehow stories that you can never get inside Water on both sides Causeways where we used to try Fold it’s pretty far to stay I’d help you down If I could Fold it’s pretty far to stay I’d help you down If I could An antidote for modern living The image is wrong repeat The image It’s all I can see

Ionian White & Gold 02:24
lyrics
buy track
Left hand hold the keys to my city There’s no other way in Right palm etches carved in a way That will show how I’m to begin Breaching white walls and loose windows Soft footfall upon the walk Meld into walls of detritus Prepare your frame for oncoming shock What if you look down? Gravity pulls us sinkholes closer Dark matter bleeds space Ionian white and gold lacing limbs Curled up tight between Breaching white walls and loose windows Soft footfall upon the walk Meld into walls of detritus Prepare your frame for oncoming shock Withered tongue full throat I tried I tried Steepled fingers ones I know Scarred and new knuckles and bone Forget about crushing grips Royal purple keepsake The weight of muscle on your bones I am a piece you don’t need Left hand hold the keys to my city There’s no other way in Right palm etches carved in a way That will show how I’m to begin Breaching white walls and loose windows Soft footfall upon the walk Meld into walls of detritus Prepare your frame for oncoming shock

This Makes Me Want to go to A Funeral 03:38

Come near now I will tell you everything but what you want to know For all you know Memories pasted on another and another There’s a reason i’d go Go wrong The name was mine Voiced Black jacket bloodless thumbs Fell up key cacti Woke up in a Corvette Sweat We don’t even go to ground It could be a mass hallucination The bull the fight Tomorrow and Wednesday Someone could really do without you Come near now I will tell you everything but what you want to know For all you know Memories pasted on another and another There’s a reason i’d go Go wrong The name was mine Voiced Black jacket bloodless thumbs Fell up key cacti Woke up in a Corvette Sweat
