Locust without the oxygen
What our lungs breath
Do our lungs need?
Surely this could be our last breath
There's no carbon for your dating
Backwards breath
Oh child you don't know
Circulation, tribulation
Lonesome tongues twist and wrench behind closed teeth and curtain speak
Lucid obstructions, manipulation, lacking leverage
Cold flame is set ablaze
Cold flame is set
Anxiety intermission
Said this our destiny, oh
Breath a beat so you stop the ticking
Compulsive pockets ache for more
Lonesome tongues twist and wrench behind closed teeth and curtain speak
Lucid obstructions, manipulation, lacking leverage
Lacking leverage (Loss of communication)
Curtain calls
You gentlemen
You gentlemen are litigious
Apologize for the gesso walls
Through the wires you watch and listen, and listen
Forgetting reprise so desolate to seek
No oxygen, no carbon, periodically

It's been so long
Since I've felt
Inspiration running through
Our blood and your veins, to be
This is suffocating
Me at the point of no return
I'm the target
How much is comfort worth to these broken arms and blackened hearts?
I'll hide my minority lips
Awkward conversations
How much is comfort worth to us?
This will we must
Wash our hands
Elementary fingerprints
Shout out defense, defense, defense
This is suffocating
Me at the point of no return
I'm the target
How much is comfort worth to these broken arms and blackened harts?
I'll hid my minority lips
Awkward conversation
How much is comfort worth to us?
And marigold doesn't grow (past six tenth desired size)
As for asphyxiation its down and out
And marigold doesn't grow(and I'll keep counting lies)
(I'm breathing quite fine, I'm breathing quite fine)
Just don't hold you breath now

While lock and key give wind break
I'll let the dead bury the dead
Stand now proud as chlorophyll
You've been running for so long
(Sever your lie, sever and try)
It's about time
It's about time you caught your (Cut your ties)
You've been living your own self illusions
(Sever your lie, sever and try)
It's about time
It's about time you caught your breath (Cut your ties)
Today's our own black Friday
Now working for the weekdays
To burn our reliquaries
You've been running for so long
(Sever your lie, sever and try)
It's about time
It's about time you caught your (Cut your ties)
You've been living your own self illusions
(Sever your lie, sever and try)
It's about time
It's about time you caught your breath (Cut your ties)
I wear my heart on my sleeve like a scarlet letter
You finally got what you had coming
Its forgiven
Not forgotten
But i'm sure you'll turn around, around, around
I wish i could breath for you
Its hard enough breathing for my...
I wish i could breath for you
Its hard enough breathing for my...
Your letter is post marked with a dying seal
Breathing is believing

I think your forgot to stretch out that lie
It broke right into place
Take it to heart and carve it into
Your skin, I make myself ill
We know we don't own time
It's not the only reason relevant for 70 x 7
Cool those jets
They're burning into my face
70 x7
Deficiencies in empathy mean that we are dead
I burned with matches
Here's what was left
Charred and slanted
To hit their mark
And then we went out
Out to our horses
And raced to, and raced to
The corner store where we brought much disillusion
I reminisce about the times when armor
Was my only party attire
And all my guests were arguments that hid
Behind their own masks all night
We know we don't own time
Its not the only reason relevant for 70 x 7
Cool those jets
They're burning into my face
70 x 7
Deficiencies in empathy mean that we are dead
You heard i burnt with
All of those matches
So how did things turn out, out, out, on your end?
And then you went bound
Out for your horses
And raced to, and raced to
The corner store where you brought much disillusion
As the night moves on it disrobes an organ and plays the only music that we love to hate
As the night moves on it disrobes our hearts and plays the only music that we love to hate
70 x 7

Pins and needles make poor blankets and sheets
One second gave enough to respire
Seven to repair and it sat
At an equilibrium for a level on a pitch
I need a reason why
Can i borrow yours tonight?
I am out like a light in Vegas
So place your bets
So place your bets wisely
I am out like a light in Vegas
So place your bets
So place your bets wisely
I never made a casting call but you're a terrific actor
And maybe someday i'll play the fool
The part i know so well
It's a lesson in nonfictional dramatics tonight
I am out like a light in Vegas
So place your bets
So place your bets wisely
I am out like a light in Vegas
So place your bets
No i conduct conversations without pronouns
And you don't bother to say
Not a single word
OH NO!
A daughters dream relentlessly occurred over and over
The night was though
(From green to red as it was said, the chorus chanted. This chance to make a stance, promises gleaming)
The night was through

Foxhole

We all live inside of tents
Inside of you, inside of you
And just like silhouettes
We're all black and white
We're all blackened ash
Tragedy makes law for indecision
Hide and seek
We lost our syllables
Chemically the retina sees too much
Tisk tisk
Safety resides in these two limbs of mine
Can you hear me
We've got another one?
Safety resides in these two limbs of mine
In the foxhole
All tied up
Oh yeah baby transitionally we made on these walls
White, black, black white, etc, etc
Over and over
Breaker, breaker one nine, i thought you could hear me right?
So could you pick up the phone
Oh brother bother the phone
Tragedy makes law for indecision
Hide and seek
We lost our syllables
Chemically the retina sees too much
Tisk tisk
Safety resides in these two limbs of mine
Can you hear me
We've got another one?
Safety resides in these two limbs of mine
In the foxhole
All tied up
When doors look like death you run as fast as you can

I'll be completely honest
These words sultry they slip
(Incoherent)
I'll be completely honest
From loose lips upon ground
There was a house on sand
But our kids killed it though
Our fast food and four year degrees
Give us credibility
The podium speaker stamps
Down subconsciously
The protesters chant
The weather is calling
I'll be completely honest
These words sultry they slip
(Incoherent)
I'll be completely honest from loose lips upon ground
There was a house on sand but our kids killed it though
The rain is finally here
Bring out your brail the PC
The lost followers of 18
Can we make ourselves
The protesters chant
Anymore cliche?
I don't find comfort
And i must find Jezebel
It's all in our heads
The way we get by

Excuses and another i suppose
I'll wait until it shuts off
How am i not myself?
This would be much faster
How and i not myself?
This could spell disaster
The excuses i breath
Are not only leaving
They repeat
Oh one on one
How i miss you
In a crowded room
The same way they parley
How and i not myself?
This would be much faster
How am i not myself?
This could spell...
The excuses i breath are not only leaving
They repeat
I need to get out!
Profane etching on our bare walls
With profanity sketched on blank walls
Which only wait for an ill fated end
I am swallowing every single word
I'll escape by standing right where i am

And i can't get the taste of steel out of my mouth
Off of my tongue
It's glued to my lips
My sense dull so take them run
But leave my eyes, I'll use them yet
With 20/20 I'll strike you numb
So partisans
Can you hear me?
I lost my voice
So i'll write it down
As the ink dries it wipes away
Lets take a headcount, we lost another one
And i can't get the taste of steel out of my mouth
Off of my tongue
It's glued to my lips
My senses dull so take them run
But leave my eyes, I'll use them yet
With 20/20 I'll strike you numb
So how do you load this thing again?
This is the worlds
Smallest violin
It plays my heart
Bleeds for you
My teeth chatter
With pulse like collision
I wish that i was analog
Lets take a headcount
We lost another one
Hold this strong
Don't look past the sediment
So take this chalk and make all your outlines thick
Tape the scene and my iron lung's turning off
I read these lines like lips
A dialogue in a room
And my hopes they sink like anchors
And the chains hold strong
Sediment stirs up
As if it were the slightest bit of hope
(And oh yeah baby
My hopes sink just like anchors alright)
