Catch Your Breath

Become a ghost to learn to fly
Hypoxia with opened eyes
More fire to be baptized in
It's a new burn all over again

Ghost light is giving out the sign
But can't be seen from the other side
You can call it anything you like
It's still breaking apart in flight
Drop the subject

Drop dead
Bleed air in
To compress your head

Spill more blood to learn from red
Depth only known by bloodshed
Is the compass only pointing down?
Depth is the harder you hit the ground

Ghost light is giving out the sign
But can't be seen from the other side
The seance is breaking apart in flight
Ghost light is falling from the sky

Become a ghost to learn to fly

Red Is Positive

Ghost Light

Hide sweet meat under the skin
Hide sharp teeth behind a grin
Shattered glass exoskeleton
Teeth can’t hide from poison

Do you feel the meat inside?
Do you feel crawling down your spine?
Sheep love sheep and wolves love meat
Venom makes all blood taste sweet

Wolves smile without showing teeth
Spiders bite to make blood sweet

The snap of every bone that’s chewed
When wolves catch what wolves pursue
Crooked spine and poison tooth
It’s not wise to play with your food

Break the skin taste what’s inside
Step on cracks to break a spine
Sheep love sheep and wolves love meat
Venom makes all blood taste sweet

LIVE

Sweet

Find a beating to feel life from the heart
Apply power hope the pulse will start
Hostage circulation outline the fight
Blood patterns feed a parasite

Do you wanna go for a ride
Find gold in the gutter this time
Feel a beating to feel life start
We’ll be the voltage on a crash cart

Playing house made a broken home on a crash cart

The force we felt that we could never see
There is a current but we’re losing the energy
The like repels the unlike attract
Opposing forces making power to abstract

Do you wanna go for a ride
Find gold in the gutter this time
Feel a beating to feel life start
We are the voltage on a crash cart

Pre Mortem Seance

Crash Cart

An abstract weapon in a slanted fight
Think about what you want to right
You can’t waste their time after all
Throwing their agendas against the wall

It’s alright, it’s alright
It’s alright, it’s alright
Red is positive
Red is positive
Red is strong

More, more, more power
More, more, more power
More, more, more power

Important strangers after all this time
But I’ve hidden my heart at the base of my spine
Pretend that we just might survive this crash
This might have been fun if we weren’t such trash

It’s all right, it’s all right
More, more, more power
Red is positive
Red is strong

Red Is Posi+ive

Can we just heal the bleed now the bleed now?
(You have to learn to feel to bleed)
Can I just take a breath now a breath now?
(I never really learned to breathe)
Can I just go to sleep now to sleep now?
(Will you teach me how to dream?)
Can you feel feel the heat now the heat now?
(You’ll never know the red I see)

Are you the ghost in the trees?
Is that your voice calling for me?
Are those your steps crushing the leaves?
Is that your ghost searching for me?

Will you show me how to fight now to fight now?
(Don’t you fucking dare retreat)
Are you all alone now alone now?
(Is that what you wanted from me?)
Will you twist the knife now the knife now?
(I will make you feel something)
Can we just heal the bleed now the bleed now?
(You have to learn to feel to bleed)

Are you the ghost in the trees?
Is that your voice calling for me?
Are those your steps crushing the leaves?
Is that your ghost searching for me?

Bleed

Conversion into the opposite
Am I all alone where I sit?
Torn apart phantom limb from limb
Your ghost melts into mine under skin

Rest in peace happy birthday
Rest in peace happy birthday

Wide awake during the surgery
Sick heal sick the infirmary
All the symptoms we’ve endured
If love was the drug, why aren’t we cured?

Rest in peace happy birthday
Rest in peace happy birthday

I am a ghost under my skin
I make a shadow when the light pours in

At the seance waiting for a sign
Contact my spirit while my body’s alive
The tables tilt and the tables fly
The death hymn is also a lullaby

Rest in peace happy birthday
Rest in peace happy birthday

Infirmary

(Communication with the dead, in this séance she is attempting to contact
spirits, how do you know the voices you hear are really those of the dead)

Speaking in tongues they’re watching you crawl
When the water rises everything else will fall

(There really is life after death)

Sleep on broken mirrors and reflect ten thousand wrongs
They’re laughing in your face while you just crawl along

Crawl

Feels like something’s killing me and I don’t know what it is
Feel like someone’s taking me and I don’t think I am his

Let me go let me go I don’t want to die tonight
Let me go let me go I’m not looking for a fight

(The voices you hear are really those of the dead?)

Breakneck pace, overclocked
You’re all nervous ticks
And you’re all fucking talk

Feels like something’s killing me and I don’t know what it is
Feel like someone’s taking me and I don’t think I am his

Let me go let me go
I don’t want to die tonight
Let me go let me go
I’m not looking for a fight

(There really is life after death)

Let Me Go (Crawl)

Measure submit against resist
Will this be a coffin or a chrysalis?
A garbage gospel versus a holy mass
Is transmutation slow or way too fast

Is this alchemy in reverse?
Is this dying or giving birth?
Trace the gold in a parallel
Trace the formula in a spell

Trying to stand on the surface of the sun
And burning with the mess you tried to outrun
Watched by the spy the electric eye
The fire you are fighting isn’t always fahrenheit

Is this alchemy in reverse?
Is this dying or giving birth?
Trace the gold the parallel
Trace the formula in the spell

Coffin Or Chrysalis

I spy with my spiral eye
I command you to never die
Go with that left and right
Teach my ghost how to be alive

Unreality derealized
For x-ray vision cross two eyes

I spy with my crossed out eye
I command you to be divine
Electro magnetic signs
Mesmerize subconscious minds

Spirals spin to hypnotize
Neurotoxins energize

Paint roses from white to red
The queen of hearts is chopping heads
Pillow talk in our death bed
But we can’t remember what we said

Spirals spin to hypnotize
Unreality derealized
De-evolve by design

I spy with my evil eye 
I spy with my naked eye 
I spy with my spiral eye
I spy with my bloodshot eye
I spy with my lazy eye
I spy with my crossed out eye

Spirals spin to hypnotize
