1. STRAIGHT LINES

On the edge, on the loose
They are here to tie the noose
But they won't catch me
Barking noise, searchlight rays
Breaking news for broken days
Another entry
The undisputable hole inside of you
Wasn't my pursuit, I am sure you knew
You're a trustee
I am weak, I am sore
I attest to countless flaws
But I'm not guilty

You're running low on straight lines
You're running low on good signs
You're running low, they say, the salt will flow

You're running low on straight lines
You're running low on good signs
You're running low, thеy say, the salt will flow

Into waste, into voids
Into shades on Polaroids
Lеave a whisper?
Pine tree hill, hold me tight
Cover up and choke the light
But save the blister

You're running low on straight lines
You're running low on good signs
You're running low, they say, the salt will flow

(You're running low on straight lines)
(You're running low on straight lines)

You're running low on straight lines
You're running low on good signs
You're running low, they say, the salt will flow


2. HEAD MOUNTED SIDEWAYS

We should let the mud consume this thing we built
80 years of drooling turned to streams of filth
Wounds appearing underneath the skin we killed
Head mounted sideways to shun the guilt
Swirling daggers carve their way to open space
Pointy nails embedded into ashtrays
Promises of healing failed to be fulfilled
Head mounted sideways to shun the guilt

Bring out your forces
Bring out your crosses now
There’s a lifeline breaking in this frost
To see through fingеrs the purge that lingers on
Thеre’s a lifeline breaking in this frost

Bring back my bed
Bring back the voice that fled
Bring back my name
Replay my talkshow game

Bring out your forces
Bring out your crosses now
There’s a lifeline breaking in this frost
To see through fingers the purge that lingers on
There’s a lifeline breaking in this frost

Blood has been spilled
I’m saying goodbye for now...
Watching the mill
Turning around somehow...

Blood has been spilled
I’m saying goodbye for now...


3. 24 LIGHT-YEARS

All that I need is to find you
Grey swarms of ash blocking my view
Sounds from your last celebration
Sparkling and naive conversation

I could leave this house, but I won’t
There’s an echo that seems to live on
24 footprints obtained
24 light-years remain

All of my sleep is behind you
Paint me a dream I can pass through

I could leave this house, but I won’t
There’s an echo that seems to live on
24 footprints obtained
24 light-years remain

Move this table
Change this label
Is there something new?
Bleach this surface
Pale and nervous
Are you lonеly too?

I could leave this house, but I won’t
Thеre’s an echo that seems to live on
24 footprints obtained...

I could leave this house, but I won’t
There’s an echo that seems to live on
24 footprints obtained
24 light-years remain


4. THESE BLACK CLAWS

I’ve been approaching the surface for a year
I’ve seen emotions derail and disappear
Go feed the colorful snakes outside, she said to me
Go break your colorful bones in a fight, she begged of me

We are returning to the ominous
We are a lost cause
We are committing to the dominance
Of these black claws

I try to smile when I get bad news
Figure if there is any good left, I'll get that too
The blood is red but the veins are blue
And my bones are every color on the spectrum between the two
I squeeze through the cells that we've been locked in
Kinda high from the loss of the oxygen
Headrush, flushed, dropping dead weight
My canine scrapes the last crumbs off my bread plate
Just head straight
No maps or no atlas
No matter how the road curves don't end up backwards
Black birds circle brown dirt for the big worms
My bad dream catcher hangs high as it twist turns
Cities burn a bad smoke
It makes my eyes itch
But front row seats to apocalypse are priceless
Life is hanging here in these black claws
Staring at a white sky full of black stars

We are returning to the ominous
We are a lost cause
We are committing to the dominance
Of these black claws

One straw in the drain
One word that you failed to sustain
One straw in the drain
One word that you failed to sustain
One straw in the drain
One word that you failed to sustain
One straw in the drain
One word that you failed to sustain

Someone stranded empty handed

One straw in the drain
One word that you failed to sustain
One straw in the drain
One word that you failed to sustain
One straw in the drain
One word that you failed to sustain
One straw in the drain
One word that you failed to sustain

We are returning to the ominous
We are a lost cause
We are committing to the dominance
Of these black claws

We are returning to the ominous
We are a lost cause
We are committing to the dominance
Of these black claws


5. FREAK

I'm turned to ten
But you never hear me speak

Your mouth resorts
To making your nonsense leak

Towers collapse
But you have a million spares

Enjoy the view
Your're building from plastic chairs

I took your mask away
And you became this
Underwhelming freak
That we will not miss

Your pain is a meme
Your proof is a constant bore
You're spoiling the end
Of episode one to four

I'm out of reach
But you still drag me down

I'm under siege
But here I stand my ground

I took your mask away
And you became this
(Gеt away from me)
Underwhelming frеak
That we will not miss

Hiding the code to your human chart
Clouding your worn down self-regard
Feeding this game with old penalties

Closing the lid to your father's heart
The loss of time when he fell apart
Feeding this game with old melodies

I took your mask and you became
Someone i forgot
Who shares my name


6. NAPALM

(How do I get back
To never changing you?
How do we get back
What we set out to do?)

Bury me under this
It's a stable doom
50 strings carry me
To the smallest room
Napalm flies through these lungs
I will watch the flame
We collapsed
We stepped in all my traps
And forgot the aim

How do I get back
To never changing you?
How do we get back
What we set out to do?
Breaking through

Bury me under this
It's a stable doom
See me burn, self-concern
I will not resume
Dark veneer
What comfort brought you herе?
Are you glad you came?
We collapsеd
We stepped in all my traps
And forgot the aim

How do I get back
To never changing you?
How do we get back
What we set out to do?
Breaking through

How do I get back?
How do we get back?

How do I get back
To never changing you?
How do we get back
What we set out to do?

How do I get back
To never changing you?
How do we get back
What we set out to do?

How do I get back
To never changing you?
How do we get back
What we set out to do?


7. FUTURE BIRD

Looking for a way
To follow your delay in expression
Culturally approved indescretion

Vapour in your face
Uneasily in place
In the armchair

Calling out a name
The one you would have framed
Had he been here

Damian
All i ever wanted was control
Future bird
Why are you impossible to hold

Flowers in your hand
A poison from the land
Of the end street

Let all the fallen rise
And fingers stabilize
'Till we all meet

A polyester bear
Would greet him in his lair
On the third floor

We dream of cellophane
Wake up in ball and chain
For a day more

Damian
All i ever wanted was control
Future bird
Why are you impossible to hold?

The ravens are out tonight
Playful and wild
A mother has lost a light
Surrounding a child


8. STONE LEADER FALLING DOWN

You didn't get away with this
A step into the obvious centre
You retreated into bad faith
Showing off your dead weight splendor

You'll see the end of your round
You'll see the purpose we found
We'll scatter rocks on the ground
Another stone leader falling down

(Falling down)

You said you were the optimist
The one of us with golden list answers
But you were nothing but a failed assist
Relying on a crowd of chanters

You'll see the end of your round
You'll see the purpose we found
We'll scatter rocks on the ground
Another stone leader falling

Down

Cold electricity conceives your agony
Thank God we found us a savior
Breath into syllables from fading oracles
You will be gone like your maker

You'll see the end of your round
You'll see the purpose we found
We'll scatter rocks on the ground
Another stone leader falling down

(Falling down)


9. INSIDE YOUR FUR

You weren't here for long
I guess my presence was a failure
The disparity was strong
Between your heart and your behaviour
This summer was a blur
The compilations we returned to
I wanna sleep inside your fur
And dissolve before my curfew

I am a stranger in this space
I will remember and erase you

You weren't here for long
You brought the treasure and the formless
The chorus of a song
Behind a minefield and a fortress
This morning would prefer
To be the sun that we occur to
I wanna sleep inside your fur
And dissolve before my curfew

I am a stranger in this space
I will remember and erase you
