There were things I'd want to know But I've forgotten many of them Being a bottomless pit will embarrass me What would I do if I learned all these things? Nothing; I was an information trap
2.
Le Rêve 05:25
Fail now, profligate Never sated, watch the moths drink from your pale skin My wakeful veins will betray No attraction to what lingers of the shade Bear a voice that none would hear Hone its edges Draw it from the dream and swing Twelve years under, wake in fright Not worth saving Burn the veil to reject the night Cleave my ribs. So transparent I lied to you and you lied to me We'll walk from ashen seas Air submersion Red eyes: careful when you breathe I won't see you outside of sleep Until I find the time I'll never see you outside of sleep I won't watch you wait for death Too impatient when you sing me your last breath Now we've told our cheated vows What I remember can't outrun the way I see you now I'll never see you outside of sleep until I find the time No
3.
The Bruxist 03:31
These ruins we inflame: unconsumed by our luminous dance We ignite and we fade. Stones we didn't cut will fill our jaws now I'm in the dark falling asleep. They will not comprehend me Vacant words in our hearts align Smiles will bear our scars engraved in ruminations Go to sleep and bite like you'd arrest your fate in your teeth Don't dream but forget til unconsciousness relents your peace
4.
Elisional 03:58
In a smile a lie, an invitation to project a thought from a grin's gleam And what face could betray no diverging An earnest scowl, a joke unseemly I don't trust my sight when I view myself Fake another smirk and I feel embalmed Drained of any urge to act what I think My true face's shrine dissolves I fear obliteration To be no good, to leave no trace. Elision, doubt And how much we yearn to define a space To transcend the vast and unspoken's worth And if we're to burn we would love to scar The face of the indifferent earth Find another way
5.
Pollinator 05:56
Dying battery You can't recharge me I'm caustic and will sear your fingertip When my sour blood sinks to my lower side I want to know why I was made bored A mass without a voice, no homeland for the mute We'd speak but anything's been said The semiotic caul has dammed your cries since birth I don't feel intended now I don't feel it How does it feel to drown? If you can't play the part Too unassured to flail against death Persuade him that you're safe, then drag your savior down Embraced to feed your failing final breath On a lonely drive back home, I fell into a lake of blood And the hours they can pass just as long as they release me Now my lungs have become gills Swim straight to the bottom of hell And you can be my flower Pollinate the universe
6.
Troubles 04:01
I'm to blame for your troubles now that I get it I'm all confused Rain is sad but it has to happen. Won't you fill my cup? It's always you Bones have fused where they've broken. Now that I feel it... It's never right Truer words never spoken. Now that I hear it... Losing my sight I'm going to find you in another life
7.
-delia, truce, no mien Ecstatic at / tacit at scene I am one, we're two curtailed Flagellant where'd you get your flail? Feign asleep, the eight-fold path Unauthorized to explore that mask Psyche do the right thing please You've yet to truly sing for me I'm so afraid to break it now Familiars denote your craft I call you witch, you call you daft You can't teach me dressage to win You need not fear to break my skin
8.
Temper 04:37
Some that's come to pass not memorialized She won't even talk to you. Wondering what it means Actionary age, narcissistic youth You won't even talk to her. Nothing unforeseen Isn't helping, haven't had enough Temper tantrum let it off Turn it on and let it go to waste Say it's just a glitch You can write it down You won't even talk to her. What isn't as what if Signifier sign. Simulated real Transcend everything you feel. It's all just a myth Never came to pass. Memory of regrets Commemorate the conversations you two never held Old before your time, inexperienced Should be contradictory but paradox is quelled
9.
We're the same You shake my hand. I feel stupid My ears ossified. They cauliflower like any other My rest was halted A dolt's gate addled mine Speak your mind The only room where you're the smartest This door is for you I'm going to go and shut it now
10.
You're drunk at ten A.M. Love's loser again Dawn caught you off guard You feel dissolved by hours that slid past Since the night's oblivion Memories aren't good Panic setting in. Wipe your palms again Phosphenes that you see: the sun or something worse? Mind tenderly bruised, each new thought a curse Unfurling as you stood to cross the shadow line Unite us Now Come on yeah Drunk when you awake Your wits forsake Stumble to the car. Nailed to the wheel your palms blossom rust Shut that door We've been here before
