Theophant/Torch I Hate to Hold (Dark Cloud Outtakes)

there is stillness even in wind
beckoning to stillness in my skin
language in a humming engine
holy light on pavement refracted
buzzard

high beams distorting a dense fog
something has gone horribly wrong
unrelated parts of the sum
in the silence signs grow tongues

there is a price
I paid it, right?
this miasma fills my mouth
I'll bear this torch
not sure what for
the human in me snuffs it out
all my synpases turn to gout

so there's a light, alright?
I wanted to define where our fathers pulled the pin
so there's a light, alright?
keep it clandestine, kept chewing till our jaws gave in

engines whirr in song
crickets chirp along
I bear this torch I hate to hold
it's yours for the taking now
carry my belongings out
lay me out where I'm found
leave it to the buzzards

so there's a light, alright?
I wanted to define where our fathers pulled the pin
so there's a light, alright?
keep it clandestine, kept chewing till our jaws gave in
yeah there's a light, alright?
all histories and time keep blurring till they look the same
so keep that light, alright?
and I'm afraid you'll find that it feels good too close to the flame

Torch I Hate To Hold

you flipped your rentals, are you happy now?
with teeth pooling out of your mouth
I'll force it open, I'll bet you're laughing now
wish I had more to laugh about
some call it envy, I hope they're not right
cause it shakes me violently at night
now, I wanna know where we get off
I'm just trying to do my job

so foreign to my ears
so familiar with my place
I can tell you this is not the way
so tired of my form
slowly descending gowns
vomiting our skeletons out

high rises come as my humanity goes
a part of me feels responsible
I'm scattered where your father laid the stones
don't make my brothers mop me up
don't make my brothers mop me up, please

so foreign in my ears
so familiar with my place
I can tell you this is not the way
so tired of my form
slowly descending gowns
vomiting our skeletons out
