Obtuse Angle

If I had to say
There is no way that I
Could speak my piece and still
Come away unscathed
Even though you try to separate your shit from food
The stars they chart but I resist the pulling of the moons
My chest's a drum and I can feel the blood behind my eyes
But I guess I'm doing fine
I guess I'm doing fine
Yea, I'm not the only one
That is taken 'round the sun
If I had to say
There is no way that I could
Bite by tongue and not have
poison eat away
Even though you try to separate your shit from food
The stars they chart but I resist the pulling of the moons
My chest's a drum and I can feel the blood behind my eyes
But I guess I'm doing fine
I guess I'm doing fine
Yea, I'm not the only one
That is taken 'round the sun

Cave
03:04
|

Look at the writing on the wall
Find meaning in nothing at all
Free from the movement of our mouths
Bask in the power of the now
Of the now
Lost in the desert but there's plenty of rain
Strayed from the road, been out here for days
I find a place in which to shelter myself
Sleep to the hum, drink from the well
Filled up with light I shine myself on the world
Golden sun-ray, milky white pearl
Until I need to go back into the earth
Blinking my eyes, I'm born in the dirt

Fake Wand
01:49
|
|||
I felt a stirring in my brain
Bought a ticket, took the train
When I stopped the movement stayed
Magic eyes, a puzzling state
Fake wand, fake life
Make time for strife
Grip my arm white
Hold on for life
Come on ride the train, it's fine
Could careen a well placed dime
Sickened by the pantomime
Life goes better with a lime
Fake wand, fake life
Make time for strife
Grip my arm white
Hold on for life

Easter
03:34
|
|||
Obliged to forget and to never look back
But time paralyzes the form
Shadows growing tall, it's unclear
Whence they cast, but they dance
Upon your bedroom walls
They all fall, but will you be around
And do they make a sound when we're
Lost in the pack and we're running away
But the past is on our backs
We live in a fantasy land
Wait for the knight to save the day
In the shade of a dark mountain face
Draggin' down the days, 'til we burn away
And where there's smoke, yea you know
There's hope that we can keep
Each other safe until we
Find a resting place
Easter egging
Patchwork spinning
Mossy laying
Tempest brewing

Great Divide
02:32
|
|||
Standing at the great divide
Missing guide when the boat arrives
The shore receding from your sight
Damp hair and the soiled sheets
Layers down comes a rattling
Reels you in like a baby on a string
Sliding slow into the bath
You see them hiding in the
Weeds, Adam and Eve
Your lungs are filling
Breathe a sigh of relief
And still I spin in that car
On that road everyday
We suffer when they rip
The band-aid from our skin

Life with Snakes
02:52
|
|||
So you spit on riches,
So you spit on everyone
Spit so much your mouth is dry and you choke
Feed yourself on curses
Feed yourself on bitter dirt
Gorging at the table until it hurts
Down in the pit
Live with the snakes
The smell of fear
And all our hate
Our bodies slide
Pile up
To reach up to
The smell above
We see them laugh
Haha, our bellies ache
We'd split their sides
To feed our face
We pass the time
Mouths they twist
Fangs they show
Where lips would kiss
Who knows what whispers say
I'll be on the water's edge
Playing in the bay
I find a resting place
Lay down in my body now
This is what I pray
If I'm to die someday
Taken by the arrows
I vow that I will stay
True to the love I have
I will not surrender it
I will not be shamed
In life we make mistakes
But if you drink the poison and
Come away unscathed
Don't let the memory fade
Remember all your weakness and
Remember all your pain

Dagger
03:31
|
|||
Every smile like a dagger's curve
We're singing like the shot heard 'round the world
Never forget but we don't ever learn
Live with a crazy heart when we bleed on the dirt
Wild animals we left the zoo
In dreams our feet kick a tattoo
Taking in smells like a thousand colors
From dust to rust and so there's nothing to lose
Live in the light as we wait to be over
The night will come and there's nothing to do
Except to live in the light as we wait to be over

Outside
02:34
|
|||
I'm a believer I'm sure you could tell
That I need something to believe
But when there's nothing but black-holes in your eyes
Well don't you know that is something
I think it's fading and it's not gonna last
Just like the last time let's get down to the task
These drunken mirrors they aren't good to talk to
These elevators will take you nowhere
Electric visions to light up the darkness
And though there's nothing I'm sure it's waiting for us
Right outside this
I'm feeling antsy so I go for a ride
To take a trip in the country
The hottest day that year, a boiling hell
I start to walk to the water
Covered in spiderwebs I get to the edge
But I give up and go back into the house
These drunken mirrors they aren't good to talk to
These elevators will take you nowhere
Electric visions to light up the darkness
And though there's nothing I'm sure it's waiting for us
Right outside this

Sleeping
02:37
|
|||
When I was young
I'd fall and skin my knees
The dirty leaves, a bed to receive my leap
But now I've grown
I'm not who I thought I'd be
Learn the hard way
Everyday, at night
When I go to sleep
I fall back into me
