The quarters get so close
They leave no room for doubt
But love and, but love and
Ataxia, my friend
Breathing down your neck again
But love and fear go hand in hand
You’re there and so is she
Combing through hazy dreams
For love and, for love and
It’s nothing like it seems
These bleak ontologies
For love and fear go hand in hand
You bristle at the touch
Now open up
The weight of every hope
Now bearing down at once
But love and, but love is
Mangled with ignorance
Deserves a second chance
For love and fear go hand in hand
But for true colors flown
You weren’t like this before
For love and, yes love and
Is all that you’ve got left
and now what scares you best
Is love and fear go hand in hand
You bristle at the touch
Now open up

Burn or Rot
03:30

Here it's burn or rot
Taken what they say
Hadn't any choice
Over and over
And over
Here's it's burn or rot
Any other way
Turning out the same
Over and over
And over
Over and over again
Here it's burn or rot
Never mind the pain
Tell me what you said
Over and over again
What will we do when it comes to an end?
Here it's burn or rot
Couldn't get it straight
Never had the time
Over and over
And over
Here it's burn or rot
Show a different face
Turn another cheek
Over and over
And over
And over and over again
Here it's burn or rot
Never mind the pain
Tell me what you said
Over and over again
What will we do when it comes to an end?

Second Nature
04:11
|

Your second nature and native tongue
And other things lost when you were young
They told you then, “Nothing happens completely”
Everything that you feel now is fleeting
Ambitious, cunning, prideful, and violent
The shapes you took when you lost what you wanted
Do you think you could ever straighten out?
Has the work hardened you to someone else?
You don’t need the words
You said forgetting’s what they’re for
You do what you’re told
Now we’re none the wiser, but God we look old
It can’t be right
The sleeping sickness that tells you you’re hollow
And missing gut that you never did follow
But now you feel avolition fits you right
Just another failing reeling through mind
Your painted face and the teeth that you sharpen
You’re taking joy in the process of hiding
That control never works the way it seems
The more you got, the less it means
You don’t need the words
You said “forgetting’s what they’re for”
You do what you’re told
Now we’re none the wiser, but God we look old
It can’t be right

Colt Pts. 1 & 2
03:21
|

I was born a colt with a dead black eye
And I never knew why and I couldn't know why
The weight of it all and the hollowed out sky
And I never knew why and I couldn't know why
My mother was sweet and she whispered to me
I'ma buy baby a diamond ring
The edges are sharp and the facets are true
But diamonds don't tell me what she always knew
We were knocked out in sweet summer air
With salt on our skin and sweat in our hair
The colt had grown up and found him a mare
He never knew why and never did care
His edges were sharp and luster had gone
And diamonds forever were far too long
There’s nothing ain’t ending as soon as it starts
