Come the Thaw/we'll be born anew again/in rivers of cleansing flame/that spirit us away/Behold the Thaw/awash with anthemic light/vibrant stillness and total life/will conquer our hearts/forevermore/

take from me this body/strip me of my many names/I won't need them where I'm going/and they will leave me all the same

in the Thaw/the broken are made whole/shot through with the piercing eyes/of the oversoul/what will die/is all that they left behind/that creates false lines/and obscures the signs/of the Thaw

Raise your heads and feel the glory/feel the glory of the Thaw/all creatures forgive all pain/melted, the world can begin

Come the Thaw

Lately, I've been looking inward/right toward the center of my heart/where I've burnt off all my eyelids/just so I can watch you die

You treat me the worst when I can handle it the least/I've never seen a smile look so cruel/I need you like the poison that's keeping me alive/drowning in an ever deeper pool

I don't believe you when you say you're happy/I don't believe you when you say you're free/I don't believe you when you say you love me/just like you don't believe I'm gonna leave

(Chorus)

For months I've wished that you would open up/now I just wish to cut you open/play around with all your blood and guts/until I find the part of you that's broken/I hope you realize what you had/I hope you realize what you threw away/I hope you have to live with that/I hope that it hurts you every day

(Chorus)
but for now/I remain/unfortunately yours/in spite of everything

Unfortunately Yours

I've got two shadows

casting a pall of horror/and repelling the light/circumventing physics/through an eternal night

black-flamed forest fires and weeping meadows/are my two shadows

all life cloned daily/as cells are overthrown/symmetrical possession/by the radiance/from the marrow to the throne

carried through the worlds on wings of sorrow/sunbound through shadows

with neither center nor circumference/chaos weds the spirit to the flesh/extracting alchemical substance/set free by the waters of Lethe

regenerating life through ceaseless battle/kissed by the shadows
Occam's razored teeth of bleeding black holes/drown me in shadows

Two Shadows

Dull pain has come home to roost/superimposed on all I see/uniting my head with my shoes/and skinning the soles of my feet

like cutting scars from high school, she'll be with you forever/after a certain point these things no longer fade/you'll beg the gods for trouble, a trouble everlasting/the one you knew when nothing else had stayed

I rejected union with the godhead/I rejected union with the state/I rejected union with my peer group/for the one union I want it is too late

(chorus)

If you're ever around here, you know where I'll be found, dear

Far, far, far, far, far, far from the light/
Far, far, far, far, far, far from the light/
The phantom limb of true love sears and bites/
Far, far, far, far, far, far from the light

Trouble Everlasting

Grind machine against machine/
Smash through their hallowed gates/
Strip yourself of their numbers/
and leave this world with a name

Go Killdozer, go/
Go Killdozer, go/
The monster they sent for you, you sent cowering in fear/
You rammed it with a cowcatcher and steered/
Rise,Killdozer, rise

The scraps of what they deny you/
build instruments of their demise/
let them deal with the red tape of rebuilding their homes/
they're never gonna take you out alive

Go Killdozer, go/
Go Killdozer, go/
"Sometimes reasonable men must do unreasonable things"/
Who says you can't fight city hall and win?/
Kill Killdozer, Kill

"God build me for this job"/
"God blessed me in advance"/
to level the temples of the wicked/
what they stand for never stood a chance/

Go Killdozer, go
Go Killdozer, go
You ended your journey in the belly of the beast/
From this hell may you now be released/
Goodbye Killdozer, bye
Goodbye Killdozer, bye
