Shellacking 03:49
every drastic measure each precautionary tale tactical tabernacles forging false treasures they're diversions for the real ones: fingers clutching beads with palms pierced by their own fingernails won't you qualify the pain you've caused? can you quantify the minds lost in his name? names, yes, I know plenty: the chapters, my friends, aunts, cousins, brothers, fathers, sisters, mothers, uncles, neighbors, lovers... with eyes beginning to track physically unable to step on sidewalk cracks (schuldbeladen/festgeworden) they could be worried about their mothers' backs they might be worried they've just prompted hell's attack this is catholic shellac and no faith is safe or sacred here if they're promising freedom from doubt they'll pour the liquid over you and it will dry crystal clear but you may never get out

Ladders 04:29
It's a fine line that you'd like for us to walk all of the time But the truth is that the insipred never balk at the sight of a High wide ladder So can we talk about the gray matter And not reanalyze the seduction by the black adder I know it's easy to reduce it to that and the white light But we're so inbetween And no-one's as simple as they seem Nobody fits this monochrome scheme Nature has never been based on dichotomy And you can fool yourself but you'll never fool me All our climbs into these heights Are joyful, terrifying, and filled with fights We gain altitude and see your path Full of loved ones and strangers that make us cry and laugh So can we please talk about the gray matter Cause it's more powerful than the venom of the black adder And far more gracious than that piercing white light Because it's inbetween And we are not machines We don't speak in binary We are composed of much more complex strings Xs and Ys and dollar signs aren't the only things that make human beings Willingly perpetuated Many lives lived suffocated It must be annihilated What is it? Can change belated Come Stubbornly perpetuated Possibilities placated I would like to annihilate it No one needs to feel such hatred From Mother-father perpetuated Time-ideas for money traded Men-and-women doomed and fated To living lies Cut ties Cutting Free We Need Daily changes Small at first, do what you can yes Large for some, others Atlas Hold the world, shoulders unfurl to New ways to perceive A ladder below and beneath A way to climb from different seeds Suspended in air So tenuous and So rare

Caught you in my eye Like a thorn in my side You dig into me All those things we could be And we could be I'll remember your name I'll remember the place that you came from And a hundred other things That might be truths Or there might be none Say my Say my name please Stay a while Stay if you think that we Might find Space for each other a Gold mine Or a silver river And I'll say your I'll say your name and I'll Stay a while I'll stay if you think that we Might find Space for each other a Gold mine Or a silver river

Lucky 05:03
Opportunity and gain Words in only certain terms I can explain Moments when the choice is choicest Moments when you roll your body over, you're just Lying in a bed of four-leaf clovers and pulling them up, pulling them up by the roots Your fortunate dormition has taken over, when will you wake up? Is it your first frost or your second strike? Third, fourth, a dozen times, hiding from me Mon ami Bon chance It's your romance So take a chance You're far too lucky to be Lying in a bed of four-leaf clovers and pulling them up, pulling them up by the roots Your fortunate dormition needs to end now, so wake the fuck up! Far too lucky to be Depressed, alone, filled with apathy Uninvolved, unenthused, uninspired by anything Bored out of your skull, feeling the world is far too full Of people to do everything for you How can this whole world bore you? The waking world won't wait for you!

Carousel 04:17
You've heard that story about the world walking in a line it would go on forever running in circles this time There's not enough to go around so spin me around at this carousel Pay two tickets for this ride one for your bread and one for your mind I call the horse with the barrel chest I'll lead us to war with my hand in my vest Facing backwards so to see you all I'll march us to hell into the lion's mouth a snake eating its tail When we run out of coal, do we then burn the books? If we can't pay the fare, do we then become crooks? What is with those greedy looks?
