Domino 03:25
You watched it surrender The evenings awry There’s no where to turn to But I’ll be by your side I always lied I brushed it aside There’s reason we capture Our peculiar eye And so we’re dying with it Our dusted memories of lint Still came the rain It whispered a change Straut like your armor in a monumental way And seep this in culture Your name disguised as a saint Ashes take place of me in no particular way Right at the bottom Beneath the case There stood an angel Flaunting his grace Most of what was said Was an otherworldly blur Sometimes your winnings Just leave you on the floor x2 And so we’re dying with it Our busted memories of piss Crawling as we ache My hands will create a master pigeon

Arcana 03:38
Though it somehow escaped my mind I'm welcomed with your arms An embrace like fire Measured by belief Stupid I can hear you Crying in the street Fiends of the hour Times you were born These dreams of mine I've been swallowed in time Collecting your change Bare hand Maybe this coat will cover us both in the brash thunder A careful manger with apps and feed Bottles of beer shoot at the world Carefully placed on the edge Aiming till they spill These dreams of mine I've been swallowed in time Collecting your change Bare hand They're gonna have to lay me down I'm fermented with an open saw gash Swallowing every last omen No one to hold my childish cries They look like your sweaty tears

Red Needle 02:27
I get rum from the local market Ready and wrapped for me It’s not an illegal substance And how could it be? Impressionable kid Oooo Oooo I wanna talk to you I wanna show you a thing or two Enigmatic euphoria With no impression of what you say to me I’m left with an enamored scent Just like the one before I’ve never done this before BRIDGE: One more trial You’ll be in my arms Or at the tempted face of my god Every shadow my body leaves me I’m permanently at rest Wish I could hold your memory Right on my chest Without there being an exit for the enterprise I’m the impressionable kid I run till the curtain lifts Way down keep it within distance There’s always enough for me And for you that’s what’s left For you that's what's left

The Follies 05:54
In the future you’ll have no luck I couldn’t tell you how many times I’ve lost These greedy moments of lust Betrayed with no moment of rest Took you an hour to leave my mind Loved you in the morning I loved myself at night The pillows burning like a sleepy golden storm When our children go to sleep I’ll remember their faces as you described them to me Sent you a sonnet I wrote it in ghost The message was plain to see It never left my mind When I seen you walking down the street Aim it back Stomp your wake, I never thought we’d meet I think I've said this before In the future you'll have no luck You don't know what it feels like You're running for the door And you could've killed me Right on the bed I'm waiting for the end Waiting till I can't breathe anymore I felt that feeling before you were born I'm not trying anymore I'm not trying anymore I'm right here

Ratcatcher 02:40
Wasted time A solemn shade Without much said We interphase Our love works harder than our own fate The diamonds resent a lost reign Our arms embrace another world Straight and stoic I crawl and fail I walk beneath All the betrayal Dire and lone Can't hold on to anything Can't forget what it brings I'm riddling with all this pain But you don't know We all must walk The child in you will always watch Be one Sometimes it'll only be our own The page is turned, we must move on The rest will always be in hand Your funeral is my trial The lightning struck at least twice We're aiming for a better stride You'll always rest darling on this time They'll never be a better side You'll walk once more You're still not sure Just wait Just wait
