Big Things, Small Things
up on the hill stands a house
and that's where the swans live
he always told me they were the purest of birds
But things are a little different now
Time took
my best friend
best friend, took him away
on to South bend
let it go
let it go
talk to me, arrange me
change me, change me
I guess you could say that um
that he did it to himself
he kept running from the ones
who kept him running
gone for a new chemical
the ones that take care of you
call them mistaken and misfortunate
and please forget about them
all the big things would change
all the small things would change
i didn't mean to
i didn't mean to!
even if I, little age

The Everyday World of Bodies
the rain
had a sound
it's blinded
everything
coming
down
coming down
the rain had a sound
it flattened its face
on the windowpane
and I thought we were safe
so safe
my soul sank down
down in the bed
your hair spread out
on the pillow
in the black fan
I buried my face
I traded you (?)
I traded you
let's be quiet a while
pull down the shades
take off your
jeans
lay on the bed
please
it's easy
it's easy
you don't have to do anything
i'll get a towel
close your eyes
this is my sound
this is your sound
open your mouth
please
cover your eyes
cover your body
you can trust it
you can trust it
put away your money
under your shirt
you can trust it
jesus
you don't have to do anything
you can trust it
this is your sound
the train
had a sound
on the edge of town
moving around
it never rusts
it never sleeps
it's rusted
it's rusted
incoming
everything changes
everything changes
outside it's loud
it rattles the windows
bus shakes the bed
the clock's unwound
stripped
stripped
down. darker in here
darker
cover your ears
I give you my hands
cover my body
you don't have to say anything
you don't have to make this anything
I'm nothing
I'm poison
everything
changes.
I'm nothing.
just make the sound
pray for something better
everything changes.
pray for something better.
everything changes
I'll give you my hands
I'll cover my body
I'll give you my poison
I'll open my body for you to
come on come on come
when you fly you'll fall into me
you'll
fall into me
you'll fall into me
you'll fall
open
uncovered
too drowned to speak
too ? to see
do you see it
do you hear it
it's likeness
this is your sound
this is my shame
on our knees
you were lying
you were lying
we were lying
against the door
under the lights
???
you were lying on the bathroom floor
you were sick. so sick.
sick so sick so sick so sick
the bodies
sleeping somewhere
mouths upturned
into the air
turning over
another
page
each night
we wait
wait for something better
wait for something better
wait for something better
wait for something better to...
come on come on come
when you fly you'll fall into me
you'll fall into me
you'll fall into me
you'll fall
???
everything
everything
you're on everything
???
the window is open
the bed is empty
the drawer is half open
the clock's unwound
we make the sound
we make the sound
we make the sound of air
hear it
escaping
something
everything
everything's undone
your shirt
my body is undone
everything
everything changes
bus shakes the bed
the shakes make the sound
through the crack in the door
through the holes in the floor
shakes make the sound
bus shakes the bed
through the hole in the floor
to the crack in the door
the shutters are down
the light is a threat
with every breath
you take
we're safe
and I'm undone
and I'm undone
I will be there.
I swear.

Gauge
set me down to sleep
my body follows without a peep
eyes grow heavy, closed and numb
pushing away the dreams to come
of kangaroos, that jump so high
I take my hands and I fly
beneath seas with waves, that sound of thunder
let loose the whale, that pulled me under
but with the whale, did come the shark
which pulls me deeper, into the dark
tossing and turning I start to scream
mama comes in says "it's just a dream"
feeling bad, all night and day
don't worry mother, everything is okay
she feeds me
the stories that set me to sleep
sedatives.
sedatives
(aviary version:
white windows and you're
poking those holes in your arm
filling those holes
in your arm)
when you come home
will you remember
everyone
everyone
these stations are right where you want me
? drugs
are gone for a new chemical
words become fake vehicles
gone away
gone away
I thought it would never end
everyone has gone away
gone away
thinking your ace always falls
in the right holes
never again to be buried behind
in a box of bad dreams
got what you wanted and now that you've got it
you think your hands can't be broken
a cast made of silver
silver
sedatives...
building in basements
evidence
of invisible things
that make me feel a little better
hiding
in a safe little room
nothing is wrong
nothing is wrong
nothing is wrong
gauge
I thought it would never end

Jungle Jim
i believe
i touch the tree
circles upon circles rising
these are fingers
the canary sings
you are not the one
i crafted for myself
just a broken toy
i'll replace you, for some deity
how I want you back
and your spirit around tonight
share this one
share this ....?
I see
you leaving a spot for me
you are not the one
i crafted for myself
best a broken toy
.?
.. tooth and hip
.. on my lips
slip ..?
slip into smiles
NOW THERE'S NOTHING LEFT
a dream
of circumstance
I stay
I said to him
why did you try?
he said we would climb
the child knowing too much
we said listen
we said listen
i thought i was strong
remember
gravity swallowed me
the cracks in the playground
dreaming hands
makes no sound
we lie dream(ing) again
?
? couldn't see you
a dirty little demon squeezing me out
come outside
-break-
?
done with one touch ..
?
... with all you see
lying on my thighs
no i didn't come
TOUCH ME
HONEYFINGERS
went inside
you looked most tempting
you love me you love me you love me you love me
but ....?... and hurt me!
you love me you love me you love me you love me
but you catch me after i've already hurt
you love me you love me you love me
but you catch me after i've already hit the ground
i know you love me you love me you love ME
but you catch me after i'm fallen and broken
and you left me lying ..?..
you see
Milk and Melancholy
ahh..
(it's ..overrated?)
living and searching on all thoughts
establish regret, to conceal
running the ..
breaking from ?
breaking from intern?
packing the knives then
(it's .. overrated? same line as above)
facing identity loss
titles where spoken or broken
communication is gone
gone
but away from the nightmares
'cept everything seems so fucked up
don't worry everything will be okay
why no!
its devastated
just a small hole to hold on to
scarring a victim who scars himself
... and ...
stitches won't fix these souls
sinking a knife down
pins him like staples
hole after hole after hole
thru the hole in the head
in my hand
everything is falling down
down, down, down
down, down, down
down, down, down
what can i do?
deliver the package
but never accept in the y??
beside you
forcing and breaking
but living in prison
and ???
let me go
back to the space where i can't see the sky and can't touch the ground
and i can't fall
climbing the walls
i'm climbing the walls
i was there
i'm not scared
... of the morning
and hit the black water
and your body pitched
so high
wanted to temple
and when i go under
i don't wanna leave
i don't wanna go
back to that place
back to the place
it's just a .. ?
and i'm not going back
Sangre
lyrics to come
Shiner
after last night it's hard to shine
after last night
I'm surprised the day even came \
but it came
and it came...
A train of obscene images
moving through the back hedge
aching and thick with rust
shown as soon as the sun comes up
it takes light to the paper
it burns its head and throat
spreading rash of arsenic
magnolias and crushed coal
a fire in its heart
will not let it die
it roars and fumes and cries all day
shoot me out the sky
pop pop
down goes the enemy
the shade came under the roses
finally
on our backs
in the backyard
attempting to breathe
attempting to see
attempting to feel
anything
pop pop
down goes the enemy
the rain that claimed the sky as it shined
pulls the shutters down on light
we sigh and sit and worship it
as it ends
pop pop
down goes the enemy
Tooth Fairy Retribution Manifesto
being a kid it's like nothingness
you don't move you get pushed
no mystery from which to steer
wide eyes blind
...sometime ... me
??
the color of blood
she left on the playground
justice and a fist
and paper sugary things
like smiles
in a handfull of teeth
ripped apart
... you know
it always terrified me
...clothing?
kissing the pillow
doing it on the...
...
comes to ..
to
come down
on
you
what its like to ..?shadows?
edging,scraping at you
fear, heckling
moving around you
I always feared
the bloody ring
the broken flesh
the words without hearts
the human bodies like a predator
grace
and then it comes-
huge -
dragon's ring
a dirty excuse
for an angel
.?
straw & black feathers
clacking across the floor
like change cracked from the guts
of the tooth fairy
...wings of birds ?
? broken flesh
it's fingerprint is sliding under the pillow
lifts with its hands and
extracts the gift
to pocket a piece of skull
and checks to see if the chest moves
if i knock out every tooth of
everyone who that tried to break my body
and covered them up with a pillow at night
for monsters to take
then at dawn i'd be rich with pennies
and the blood left behind
Tron
the nights i slept
over at your house
you'd to anything for me
watch over me
protect me
watch me sleep
we'd sit in bed and read and read and read
and spill tea on the sheets
sometimes we'd read and run all night
when i was five and you were alive
all around the house
and smoke and get behind
i dream
i'm walking to where you lie
your hair
gone grey
silver
and raised off your face
the shades remain unchanged
i slowly went to the room and walked to the bed
to check your pulse
if you were still alive
and i'd spend the night
i knew you'd never leave me
never leave me behind
the smoke and the static and the light that came thru the shades was the same
the shadow and the static and the light that came thru the shades was the same
x2 more (variations on shadow/smoke/static/light)
the smoke and the static and the light that came thru shades was the same
the smoke and the static and the lights and the shadows that came thru
shades was the same (w/tara)
was the same as your skin
your mouth was open wide
but there was nothing left inside
the tv static rolled
grey gone cold and alone
