Sauce 02:26
My brain oozes out my head holes Collects in my pockets Wears my clothes Takes my calls Things feel different now I'm wired different I don't remember second grade I don't remember yesterday I remember When I remembered One thing I remember is the look in your eye I'll take my sauce on the side I'll hide the mess under the bed I'll interact Just one time Leaking and streaking and speaking and feeling week and

I don't have time to think I had to grind off my thumbs I had my knees unhinged My hands are split down the seams I dreamed I had a disease I ate a layer of skin I dreamed a nun took me in And gave me knowledge of you I don't think it's real I don't know if it's real I've got a feel for what you feel but I don't think it's real I don't The nun was made out of dirt She had a plastic spoon There was a planet in there It had an island for you I don't think it's real I don't know if it's real I've got a feel for what you feel but I don't think it's real I don't It ain't real It ain't real I can feel It isn't real It ain't real It ain't real I can feel It isn't real You're not real x9

We Burned 03:12
These halls hold voices These walls hold hands This house is burning Burning, burning I was never gonna go I was never gonna go you told me so I could never go And we burned I judge my choices By my scarred hands Our house is burning Burning, burning I was never gonna go I was never gonna go you told me so I could never go And we burned

Near the Sun 03:57
Near the sun there is a heavy place It's got a serpent coiled around a dark shape Near this place is where your mind breaks Your head unzips and empties into space Your thoughts become long enough to strangle fate Your head becomes small enough to locate Your only hope is to obliterate The other mind in you mind The serpent's skin is on you The skin that makes you do what you do You do some things that bring you pain You do this pain in your own way You live in pain Near the sun You live in a cave Near the sun Near the sun there is a heavy place It's got a serpent coiled around a dark shape Near this place is where your mind breaks Your head unzips and empties into space You live in pain Near the sun You live in a cave Near the sun

Non-Edge 03:28
Laser thread of dust Pulled through space It's me stretched To the non-edge Twisted Infinitesimal Etched in the sky Like glass You part your lips a little Like you're about to speak You use your eyes instead Weak warrior Lynched Valkyrie A sharpened edge The sky is dead Twisted Personality Stuck in a mind Like mine You part your lips a little Like you're about to speak You use your eyes instead

I'll be around for a while But I'm getting older I'm here for you for a while How long I couldn't say I used to see you around But now I don't see well I'm spreading out on the ground And seeping right in I spread myself on the ground It's scraping my skin I thought if I looked around I'd see you come in I was around for a while And I used to see you I started to disappear When I came of age Remember when you were here And we were together Now I've been fading for years And you're not around

Out past the markers Out on the dunes There is a man Who sifts the sand Through his jaws Out on the dunes He sifts the sand Out on the dunes He digs for you Out on the dunes Out on the dunes x4 There is a man Out on the dunes I am the man Out on the dunes

Child 04:30
Everyone puts in their time Binding their hands to their sides Arranged in separate lines Wanting the other ones They feel the same time as we But there's a reason to be Outside the lines for a time To find some other ones Are there other ones Ten million other ones Are there other ones Someone has to die If we're to live through the night The lucky winners can try To build on broken ground How many steps in your life Two hundred million dead flies Pressure the legs to divide One little frightened child Are there other ones Ten million other ones Are there other ones There's always something left in There's always someone locked up There's always something outright not right There's always one scared child Someone has to die If we're to live through the night The lucky winners can try To build on broken ground How many steps in your life Two hundred million dead flies Pressure the legs to divide One little frightened child Are there other ones Ten million other ones Are there other ones

A Reason To 05:25
Scrape the living off the lip Help with an iron whip Dig into the flesh a little Let behavior slip Walk into treason In one more growing season Slump over and die a little bit To feed the next ones Slice the pages into strips Cut the cords and melt the tips Let the rocks destroy the room Choose who to do it to I choose to do this thing to you I've got a reason to I choose to do this thing to you I've got a reason to I've got a reason to I've got a reason to I've got a reason to I've got a reason to do this to you I've got a reason to I've got a reason to I've got a reason to To do this to you
