Lyrics:
Lama sabachthani
Father why art thou forgotten me
The cold and distant holding
Of the crying wall of apostasy
Phone lines, modems, fax machines
Light the line that carries me
Echoes sketched in transients
To spirits there across the sea
This remorse that doesn't hold water
Bodies with no form longer
Psyches in the orbit of those corners where the spirits wander
Silence streams from Elohim
To my pleading to be wanted
So I ask unto the lifted 
When they grant me their responses

We hear a voice from above
So nothing settles back now
In the words 
Of this mystery

Soft rains falling with new cycles of the pagan Zodiac
Cast twine into the sea and stone, Hazuki’s loose demoniac 
Hands turning hard on the handles of my Pontiac 
I grew up thinking all my house’s landline phones were tapped
I grew up thinking everyone could see the way that atoms move, all these ghosts of positions in the past
Grew up thinking it was strange I had to teach myself to laugh 
(Now we go to where everybody else is going back)
And if thine eye cause thee to stumble
Errant satellites that thieve your numbers 
Mary to the child that she in love with
A David after Earth who needs the Other
Am I inadequate unto God to warrant his light and miracle?
I try to hold onto things I know I can’t explain 
I’ve known better in my life than to ever count on change 
The place we switch bodies and see new lives in the trade

Lyrics:
Fuck, it goes toxic, it beats underwater
Put another damn chrome ratchet in his cage
Seduction to Niacin, Yangtze’s widening
Herod, I jump into the way
Fundamentally different
Little by little, I scratch the firmament
My indiscretion is fission
With nothing but ill intent I lean in and kiss him 

I can do what I want to his body 
Who the hell are you to stop me

Father won’t forget about it
I dance to get what I want
Succor that my spirit houses
Natch, I just want the head of Jokanaan
Galileean skies I riddle with chemtrails in abandon 

They can do what they want to your body 
In your head’s where they can’t hurt you
Tell yourself you’re not here
That this is not happening
That you’ve conquered all but fear
And gleaned where each new facet is
All that you see and hear
Will be in the past tense again
That heaven won’t even have to ask
Who that John the Baptist is
Even though their plains may shake
With all their aircraft crashing in 
With all your brethren in Abu Ghraib
Whose skin they turned to phalanxes
Where you’ll make good on your sacrament
And they don’t let the cameras click 

Where they can’t deprive you again
And leave you famine thin 
Where this nascent comfort takes me
And holds my hand in his 
His

BRING ME
THE HEAD OF JOKANAAN
BRING ME
THE COMFORT OF MAMMON
SINGING
IT DOESN’T REALLY MATTER
MISSING
THE NEW WORLD I’M AFTER
(GOD)

Lyrics:
Focus on the smaller things
And the big stuff will fall into place
I ask you a simple question about your faith 
(I see the Sun coming up)

I have recently decided to ruin my life and yours
Ever since I set out to take salvation on tour
I see the Sun coming up
“Welcome back” misspelt in the lights on Earth
When I finish the ecclesiastical process
It’s not inside your brethren
This want to go to heaven
I see the Sun coming up

When you let me inside
I will move the Sun, the Earth
The skies
The tides
To make you happy
To make you want it more
I am here
Too many
You can’t kill the world
I do what I do best
But you have to let me in first
So I can touch it
So I can make it real

Lyrics:
I’ve been learning to fear for my life
Second sight, the shifting pigment of eyes
Making up for missing time
Now my faith in crippled cries
Can’t respond to all these lines
Chains of all the ties that bind

Ugh,
A user of unknown features
Impetuous I pick up all the damn pieces
Melodies of calm that I find specious
Don’t do this to yourself don’t do it

Only got a silence where the name would speak
Crave the assurance that we both need
Lost my mother and my father and my people and my pride
Lost my whole life and I lost my mind

That’s why I’m so scared now
Vengeance that remains when my life gets pared down
12 sigils in my heart I just want to tear down
Blood in my eye from its sheath to the marrow

And I will
Never break the chain
Never break the chain
Never break the chain
Never break the chain

Lyrics:
Median mean and mode are rapidly dropping
I’m filled with a disease
The alchemy to stop it even if it’s toxic
I want you to bury me

Median mean and mode are rapidly dropping
try to take one for the team
Putting on a show for no one and nothing
Wipe out my stupid dreams

So what would you do for your passions
If they don’t love you back
Murals on the walls that sound like magnets
North back to West
Bravado of prodigy
Tell me big man
What’s stopping me
Show me something I wanna see

Median mean and mode are rapidly dropping
I’m filled with a disease
The alchemy to stop it even if it’s toxic
I want you to bury me
Median mean and mode are rapidly dropping
try to take one for the team
Putting on a show for no one and nothing
Wipe out my stupid dreams

And if you come to a show, fuck you
