Grab a knife
03:53
|

|
He keeps you in a crib
stands outside
there to keep you safe
safe
safe
There's a pool of blood in front of the door
cause' no one new comes in anymore
And he stands there day and night
leanin' on his axe waiting for someone to come on by
And he stands there day and night
leanin' on his axe waiting for someone to come on by
He's there to keep you safe
stands outside
always wide awake
wake
wake
And the corpses stare at you from the floor
cause' no one new comes in anymore
And he stands there day and night
leanin' on his axe waiting for someone to come on by
So you gotta grab a knife
slide it through his ribs when he's busy looking left and right
And in case he's not dead
slide it in real deep and check twice
So you gotta grab a knife

Song of the scavenger
03:25
|
|||
|
Been following the stench around
this empty side of town
Like a hallway with photographs
that smile but never move
Like a hallway with photographs
that smile but never move
but never move
My nose is sharp like fishing hook
Barrels filled with something red
hauled in and out when no one looks
And your body out in the cold
is nowhere to be seen
and your body out in the road
is nowhere to be seen
to be seen

The sky
01:48
|
|||
|
The sky was blue today like the ocean
the ocean
but the ocean's only blue because the sky
looks into it and that's what's golden
People always arguing about what's true
but can't they simply see and understand that we're the glue
that restrains everything from falling apart
Cause' in the human mind all you see is you
so after all and everything you must be the truth
for everything the way the earth spins and breezes move
but you can't even see the way you think so what's the use
Only wise men know what they're holding
they're holding
but something inside me is creeping up
I think I'll slowly find my way above
and all this shit will sort out on the run

Grow
06:12
|

|
Deep in my head you buried a seed
and it may be growing
From the bottom of my chest
I feel there's nothing left for me to reach
In a densely jumbled mess
they grow
From the bottom of my stomach
I feel there's nothing left for me to reach
The roots can only plummet
deeper into me
I turned every stone
just to look for my bones
Looks crazy I know yeah I know
Rolling around and wasting your time
it's easy to do
And calling you out it's easy to try
but you'll never move
From the bottom of my stomach
I feel there's nothing left for me to reach
The roots can only plummet
deeper into me
I turned every stone
just to look for my bones
Looks crazy I know yeah I know
I turned every stone
just to look for my bones
They were out in the cold
in the cold

Ghost
02:51
|

|
I wanna cut you out and hang you on my wall
cuz you live on paper
you're not real at all
I wanna cut you out of that dusty magazine
just so I can hold you
and you'll feel 3d
Cause I can't live with a ghost
in the back of my head
I can't live with a ghost
I want you instead
I want you instead
I wanna cut you up so you can't run away
and I'll know that you'll be here
every day
Want you to stay right here
and everything's okay
but how could you leave here
when it's nowhere you stay
Well I can't live with a ghost
in the back of my head
I can't live with a ghost
I want you instead
I want you instead
I wanna cut you out and hang you on my wall
cuz you live on paper
you're not real at all
I wanna cut you out of that dusty magazine
just so I can hold you
and you'll feel 3d
Cause I can't live with a ghost
in the back of my head
I can't live with a ghost
I want you instead
I want you instead

Empty spaces
04:49
|

|
How do I fill all this empty space
I'm the nothing in an empty case
There are holes that should be filled up
There are nothings that should be erased
Me I'm nothing I'm just what I make
I'm the air around the figures and shapes
I can't tell if I've removed myself
Or if part of me's been displaced
If I'm in
deep enough
I'm filled out
But when I come
back again
It's all empty spaces
Empty spaces
Empty spaces
How do I fill all this empty space
I'm the nothing in an empty vase
You can pour water into my mouth
I'm still nothing I've just been pushed out
If I'm quite
quiet enough
I hear sound
But when I come
back again
It's all empty spaces
Empty spaces
Empty spaces

Audiofold
01:04
|

|
The left and right of my brain
cause a great deal of pain
so right here I'll remain
in my audiofold
in my audiofold
On most cloudy days
I've got nothing to say
but silence washes away
in my audiofold
in my audiofold
in my audiofold

Life
what do I know?
Shrinking it grows
shrinking it grows
Life
What do I know?
Sinking it floats
sinking it floats
Life
Blinded to see
blinded to see
blinded to see
blinded to see
Let go of the ground so I can fall
and hold the sky
and hold the sky
As soon as I let go of everything
it multiplies
it multiplies
Life
Nothing and me
nothing and me
me
Life
Blinded to see
blinded to see
blinded to see
Let go of the ground so I can fall
and hold the sky
and hold the sky
As soon as I let go of everything
it multiplies
it multiplies

Acid cat
03:54

Rang a friend on the phone last night
tore off the paper and said goodnight
Made the drop
made the drop while the door was locked
Slowed the clock
slowed the clock while I watched it stop
Got a call on the cell last night
walked through the shadows and the moonlight
Tip tip toe
tip tip toe and the cat won't know
Walk real slow
walk real slow and the cat won't know
Sneak acid cat
do your thing and don't come back
Creep through the cracks
leave no scent and make no tracks
Caught the scent of a meal last night
slunk through the gallows and out of sight
Stay real low
stay real low and my prey won't know
Get real close
get real close but my prey won't know
Sneak acid cat
do your thing and don't come back
Creep through the cracks
leave no scent and make no tracks
Sneak
Sneak
Caught a bend in the hallway light
fluid on the walls dripping left and right
By myself
by myself where the fuck is he?
Somewhere else
somewhere else all alone just me
Sneak acid cat
do your thing and don't come back
Creep through the cracks
leave no scent and make no tracks
