At Home 03:33
You showed up with a split lip dripping down your dress. I don't know where I am but as I awoke I felt like I slept on a bed of broken glass and rusted nails I think I'll go home. If I knew where home was from here I think I'd pack my bags and go there. Watching all their tiny black beady eyes fix to mine And I don't know why. Rest your head; get yourself collected Get yourself collected will you please? Stop to think about it Take a breath and use your words to describe it. I think I might have taken a ride up the wrong road, Dizzy I don't see a single house I know Except for yours With the second floor lights on I don't feel rested. I wont feel rested at all, As long as I'm outside of your window throwing stones.

Bangalore 02:19
I'm always three pills deep Don't mind me and my wandering eyes I was just wondering why it is that I can still feel anything Though I'm prescribed the proper chemicals Produced to prevent this sort of inconvenience. Letting the cat out of the bag Is a lot easier than putting it back in, As I begin to let loose the whole litter. I lost myself Like a ship caught on the rocks sinking. Come up for air, It's fair to say I've been out there for years. Letting the cat out of the bag Is a lot easier than putting it back in, As I begin to let loose the whole litter. I'm always three pills deep in my various prescription bottles With one foot firmly planted In the grave that I dug for myself in the back of my mind I need more time. Though if death my come for me early I'll go Kicking and screaming no.

Moonlighting 03:24
There's blood on the sidewalk Outside the apartment complex That you call home That I am forced to walk to Alone at night I know you say you don't like sleeping alone Tucked away in that coffin Studio apartment Tears in the linen where you scratch in your fits Cigarette burns in the carpet. Once you come back, once you come back to us I hope for your sake the whole world may be haunted Manifest and fade, manifest and fade, manifest and fade lazily Stalking the alleyways and graveyard shift taxis. But for now we're no longer brushing shoulders You act as the eye of the fly on the wall Of the room where you first told me My false sense of security and irrational fears of everything Were building friction in my head. At least that's what you said As you pressed up close in my cold bed The subtle hints that I misread I could even taste the poison in your quickening breath As you crept in quick with a kiss to kill me. Knock me death with the lips shade red. I replaced your wallpaper With an old box of photographs you hid in the attic Because those old photographs weren't meant for anyone. Once you come back, once you come back to us I hope for your sake the whole world may be haunted Manifest and fade, manifest and fade, manifest and fade lazily Stalking the alleyways and graveyard shift taxis.

Bone Meal 03:57
We're just too cold to keep one another comfortable But you keep me closer than the skin to your bones You keep me closer than the skin to the Bones of the landlord are buried in the yard With hypodermic needles buried in his arm Half smoked cigarettes Act as the bread crumbs that led me to you Keep me closer than the skin to your bones You keep me closer than the skin to the bone You just couldn't leave well enough alone And it shows You just couldn't leave well enough alone. And I haven't heard a word from you Since you painted your perception prescription orange. Your gaze has changed Leaving me faltering and estranged I'll take a sedative How could I rest otherwise?

Cobwebs 03:59
I've managed to convey almost every emotion All dripping sick with subtle disdain. Dis-interested ears hear what they want to hear Selected words to entomb Though most can hear my jaw crack from across the room. I don't know what it is that you're thinking As you stare up from your bed. I can't seem to escape this constant weight of being The clarity I require will surely amount to a failed apprehension. Tension at the thought I feel as though my words are for the void to consume Though most can hear my jaw crack from across the room. I don't know what it is that you're thinking As you stare up from your bed. I would like to settle down Though the cobwebs caught They twist and tangle Trip my step and cloud my eyes. An indecipherable hieroglyphic Carved crudely into the skull of the host That carried the brilliant mind to find the secret hidden behind Some rough chromosome. Some elusive atom that slips drugs into the cells as they sleep You wake feeling life all at once at a bone shattering intensity Numb to the fact it's a dream.
