wake up sleepy hibernator, we're baking you a pie. for in your slumber things were changing, now you won't believe your eyes. smile once for me, I'm leaving town. I'll take it with me, I'll write it down. take one last look at me, arrive in a place where we'll know what we're meant to be.

in a cave to hide from winter, the snow has piled high. for in your slumber things were changing now you won't believe your eyes. new errors to be made and haunting memories won't subside. sleeping beauty those seven little guys, they aint got shit on me. smile once for me I'm leaving town. I'll take it with me I'll write it down. take one last look at me arrive in a place. where we'll know what we're meant...
you emerged from rocky depths to find there's nothing left. all that you've known is gone. collapsed in misery all that is was history. your world is fucking blown. but don't I owe something, aren't I owed something more? and if I die from this, will the next life be bliss?
I'm growing weary of looking back to see there's nothing wrong.
I'm growing weary of looking back to see that she moved on.

new beautiful li'l thing

I'm not one for keeping in touch. but I will always unwrap a old toy in an unfamiliar box. you look at me without a reason. I look at you and see your worn edges. looks like I need a new beautiful thing to play with. looks like I'm bored again with my Lego set. Looks like you're in the closet in case I ever want you back. isn't that a sad fact.
I'm not one for being satisfied. I'm always looking forward to that next prize. you look at me without a worry. I look at you and I feel nothing. Looks like I need a new beautiful thing to play with. looks like I'm bored again with my Lego set. Looks like you're in the closet in case I ever want you back. Isn't that a sad fact.

mountain climb song
03:25
|

|
climbing this steep incline I slip but I feel no fear of falling to my death. when I reach the peak at the end of my I cross upon something I should expect. an old man with a cold stare, eyes filled with regret from lack of ignorance. he asks me my true intent but he has predetermined all that I will say. you misunderstand me. what are you afraid of?
a primal king rests deep within me. keep it caged, keep it loosely tied down inside. a girl turned lamb superficially shows itself on the lovely face I can't regret. you misunderstand me. what are you afraid of?
not a beast, a shadow too afraid to really be. left unnoticed but not forgotten by me. I'll show you what it means to truly care. I'll show you how a lamb gets the king's share.

she dives into your depths, o sea. not so frequently, but once upon a time. she dives beneath and, sea, we embrace her. we hold her close as she moves within us. and when the time comes, foresee, she will leave in all her fine ecstasy. wiping ourselves from her body. the sea is calm. and see, we notice her absence. until the next dive. until the next fall.
she bleeds into. the sea she bleeds too. sea, she sees the sea bleeds into me new. this is a metaphor.
until the next dive. until the next fall.
see, sea, maybe she will see this time.
see, sea, maybe she won't leave this time.
see, sea, maybe she will see this time.
see, sea, maybe she won't leave.

phantom limbs
02:14
|
|||
|
late nights in the lab, drafting plans. for these fantastic limbs. subjected to mine own experiments. a dubious pair of airborne appendages grows. what would you think if I reached out and touched you?
buoyant biceps believed to be brilliant. bastardized big time for evil. try to do good, but the clasp at your back has de-willed my power over these phantom limbs. what would you think if I reached out and touched you?

don't you know? I've abused your trust too many times. don't you know? I've abused your love too many times. you forgive in spite of everything.
don't I know? you comfort me when I am lost. don't I know? you never turn away. you forgive in spite of everything.

lullaby

when my child grows up and I'm looking down, gonna give him my advice - what little I know. there's certain people you should stay away from. and don't get too close. stay away from grandma she's a fucking bitch. she'll never do what pleases you most. she thinks in only selfish tones. stay away from grandpa he's lost his hood of man and all he can seem to do is compensate for lost control.
when they're left alone in their acidic home and they can't take no more... you'll hear them calling on the telephone. but I'll just tell them no.
stay away from grandma she's a fucking bitch. she'll never do what pleases you most. she thinks in only selfish tones. stay from grandpa he's lost his hood of man and all he can seem to do is compensate from lost control.

marks

spread that nail paint thin, dear girl. you want to look the part. as they pass you by, line up in single file. a couple sips of fire and they're feeling free. looks good from here, they say to me. when you've put your mark on them and they in that empty black look around at the life you've made... don't look into their eyes, dear girl. you won't find me there! and when you press into their warmth know they don't really care...
a couple rips of fire and I'm feeling free... that will fade in time, and I'll be back to me. as your mark from my neck grows calloused and black... I look around at the life I hate. ooh.

gypsy

she was a young girl, not quite 18, she had all kinds of innocence and a chest full of hopes and dreams. take this sex quiz, she said under her breath, take this sex quiz it's about piercings and sex. and when I took her to a bridge in a snow drift don't look down, she said. well she looked and saw me standing there and she knew just what to do.
o my gypsy girl I've seen what sleeps inside.
o my gypsy girl I've seen what you hide.
she told me all her problems and I listened with indignance. she told me all her sweetness and she taught me how to use it. I told her I would fuck her. over and over and over I told her. she finally listened, nothing catching on her shoulder. causing her to turn, causing her to wait. causing her to think about her temporary state.
o my gypsy girl i've seen what sleeps inside.
o my gypsy girl I've seen what you hide.
o my gypsy girl whom I can't hope to tie or bind.
you who cried a wordless cry, your heart forever mine.
come home to me.
