Still remember when this song came out - so freakin cool!

I’m not afraid
Of the endless days,
One eye open as I float along
The surface keeping guard,
And I hope I’m wrong,
That I terrorize every eye I’m put upon,
And I wonder what it is you see,
A core beyond the pageantry.

At this point I might be
A relegated curiosity,
An oddity from your past,
Would you look at me?
“Would you look at that!”

Hoarfrost in the morning,
Surely some must die,
Freezing over overnight,
But I’ll donate my warmth and
My hands will keep you safe,
The cold will wither while we wait,
But surely some must die, 
But surely some must die,
But surely some must die,
How do they handle it? 
But surely some must die, 
But surely some must die,
How do I handle it? 

You are casting shadows with your blood,
I see them when I plunge,
If I can smell you in the ocean,
Then they can smell you in the ocean,
Eliminate the feeble consciousness
That gave me confidence to kill,
Instinct over will,
Diamond against diamond you are
Merciful, I will 
Grab you in my jaws to hold you.

I will grab you in my jaws to hold you,
But blood seeps through my jaws when I hold you.

Hoarfrost

Tourniquette

I made a name
In the intervening years
Took care of some things
And started to forget
The songs that I wrote
I must have stood by cause
I scrawled them in my blood 
And we’re still catching up
And the size of my heart
That is caught in my throat
Didn’t shrink like i thought it would 

Kerosene keeps me warm

Kerosene keeps me warm
I’ll burn until it’s gone
The years cascade I’m overfull
The runoff is lapping at your door
Eulogized and atomized you
For the sake of song
Kerosene keeps me warm
I think I’ll hold out  until the storm is gone
Then i’ll be out for more

You should see what I am writing about now

The endless thrum
Has just begun
In the mountains
That i met you in

The walls closing in
Are a part of my skin
It’s been a while since i
Embarked into the wilderness  

I was Bitter i thought
For a justified cause
Because  taste in my mouth
Never sweetened enough
And the shift in perspective
That i thought wouldn’t come
Didn’t hurt like i thought it would


 

Kerosene keeps me warm
I’ll burn until it’s gone
The scars are healed a decade in
I couldn’t see the future then
An eternity of knowing me
Feels just a little long
Kerosene keeps me warm
And to burn it all down
By this point feels wrong

Kerosene Pt. 4

I’ve seen limbs like yours discarded on the highway
From scurrying burrow to burrow
They’ll rip you from your home
I’ll see you on the road
Finicky
There’s tumult in the gesture
Circulation
Pressure on the temple
I think if you were wise
You’d source a tougher hide

Fennec 
Think I could hunt you down
Root you out
Underground

A fool waits for repercussions
These tools were made for piercing the soil with
A fool waits for repercussions
The tools are in the soil
It’s best to play it cool

I was on my stomach when the water started rising so
I sunk my claws in and then started moving earth
When I struck gold it wasn’t worth
What I was told it was
Malleable
flesh gives way to physics
Statuesque 
Still frozen in beginnings
I think if i was kind
I’d live a tougher life

Fennec 
Think I could hunt you down
Root you out
Underground

A fool waits for repercussions
These tools were made for piercing the soil with
A fool waits for repercussions
The tools are in the soil
It’s best to play it cool

Fennec

A wall surrounding empty air
A feast there to fatten all the guards
We left our lives for recompense
A dirty coin passed down from oligarchs 
To fit the slot inside our hearts

I am getting swallowed up
I’m dredging through distasteful stuff

The skin of the bulb is off
The flesh of the fruit is soft
You can get away with harvesting
But not if you spill your gut
 A motive to spite the cause
The map to the pit is gone
Pain is just pain so i hope for your sake
The impetus will be to stop

Somehow not used to my body
I took more than I could carry
I  poked around and found something
I never felt 
There’s always something
Pushing down, a resonator plucked
Reverberate the sound 
A horn to fuck your hearing up

I am getting swallowed up
I’m dredging through distasteful stuff

The skin of the bulb is off
The flesh of the fruit is soft
You can get away with harvesting
But not if you spill your gut
 A motive to spite the cause
The map to the pit is gone
Pain is just pain so i hope for your sake
The impetus will be to stop

Stop the sacrament
Only holy for the innocent
A plague be on the rest of us
Present company excluded of course
Anatomy knows how to get the best of me
Apologies, i forgot to be anything, that’s right
I forgot to be anything

Distasteful Stuff

A deep breath
I’m plunging in
The paint before
My image sets
They’re dogging pages
In my honor
Before I’ve even left

A nauseous twitch
I’m obvious
Attentive to my
Base instincts
I’m dodging punches
That were sent
Before the air’s displaced

How septic it was
Lingered on my tongue
I didn’t tell anyone
The lion's share of knowledge
Got stuck in my paw
I didn’t pull it out

Car stuck in the yard
Tearing up the lawn
I turned to slinging mud
To get the hours done
How septic it was
Lingered on my tongue
But please
You can’t tell anyone

A regret
It’s come to this
How rude i’ve lost
A dinner guest
The town’s closed down
Like it always did
There’s nowhere i can rest

A cosmic shift
I’m over it
The pageantry of
Innocence
The stockade’s full
I lament before
My head is put in there

How septic it was
Tainted my blood
I hid from everyone
The lion’s share of knowledge
Is lodged in my paw
The wound is sore, could you pull it out
Car stuck in the yard
Tearing up the lawn
I turned to slinging mud
To get the damage done
How septic it was
Lingered on my tongue
But please 
You can’t tell anyone

Androcles (Pt. 2) (Fast Version)

Die Erde
grau wie Asche
Die Felsen
rot wie Blut
Kein Akt der Rache
Kann dich erwecken
Dein Gesicht 
Weiss wie Gebein
Der kalte Schnee
Auf deinen Gliedern
Wie welke Blätter
Deckt er dich ein…
