about

Track Name: Spotless
Lifetimes renewed and armored
I thought they’d carry me back
But I lost my touch
Think hallelujah daughter
Tense up and choke that new pack down

All bled through I am
Clothing on your wound
Pushed aside
Revealing you the new, clean, fresh bride
Your mother drew
On that carpet
You never moved a thread
Where you’d sit
I thought that you were dead once

Dressed up at home
Weather’s damp and warm, but no
I won’t perform your Rite of Spring
I’m not dancing up to death with a diamond ring Lord
Pressed down like stone
I feel you cool and dry, but no
I won’t perform your Rite of Spring
I’m not dancing up to death with a diamond ring Lord

Dim shines and all your shy parades
Ten ways to drink off your will to be saved
Bring your judges down
Eating up old critics to satisfy
Tasting the mouth, touching the hand
Look in the eye

All your plans set
Like fires in the buildings we left
I wanted you to smile, touch, feel
Like we never met
On that carpet
You’d never move a thread
When you’d sit
I found out you were dead once

Now I see it
Track Name: Grace
My friends need me to pretend that they’re there
I’ll find a way to resent all the things we share
You’re gonna feel me out
And then you’ll shake, shake, shake me down
You’re gonna feel me out
A little farther

Nobody’s keeping it conscious, we’re just locking our doors
When the panic’s gone, I won’t say a thing, yea

Graves, how I thought you would stay
Heart beating through your chest
Owing the thoughts and even the speeches
To your quiet hands

Sleep tried to kill me again, got me scared
Keeps picking off all my kin with his empty stare
You’re gonna steal me out
And then you’ll take, take, take me down
You’re gonna steal me out
When it’s darker

You always reel me out
And then you break, break, break me down
You always reel me out a little farther

We missed you
We missed you
We missed you while you were missing out
Track Name: Lock The Light In
Do you trust your sight?
Because I have given up
I’m not about to bury myself
I feel the hum
The lights around your neck
The earth push through my lips

When the sun sets itself in the sky
We will keep singing psalms through the night

Away you’ve gone and away we go
You’re a simple kind of love
The most simple that I’ve known
Yea away you’ve gone and away I go
It’s a simple shroud of hope
The simplest that I know

As I touched your side
Felt the pressure from your breath
You gotta learn to carry yourself
We tire young
With lights around our necks
Still wrapped up in our beds
Track Name: Distiller
Revolve, reload, remain
Shut off, we must hibernate
I couldn't eat you up, I couldn't breed what you've become
Just another shade of hollow

And you can beg
And you can shiver
But you stay in bed
More than a river

Yes, I'm denying all their claims
I can rest, after a billion years I bought the house you made me
And now the plagues are on their way
But you're a dog outside, you don't come when I call your name

Evolve, resign, remain
Spread out over wood and plain
My car is built, my metal horse with rubber wings
All this came from caves and shallows

We are coffee dregs
They left after dinner
Have you seen our legs?
They keep getting thinner
Track Name: It Was The Pilot
You were the one
I didn’t notice
Catching me all tied up, full of creases
And I will not speak, I will not keep, I am uneven
Feeling out of your reach
Touching all these daughters on weekends

You are those pauses I miss
Somebody’s stealing my part of your veil
What a shock, I’m pointless

Keep eating out of your hands
Bleeding the whole night kept my plans
All the fasts are over now
It’s not your love I’m around, it’s all your enemies
Kept eating all of her friends
Needing a full life, more revenge
All the fasts are over now
It’s not your love that I found

You filled your cup
And that wine made me foolish
But sweet and cheap, I’ve met your taste
And my care is less frequent
You know I am no sheath, just a new thief, I have no reasons
Bending out of your reach, feeding only
My thoughts when I’m weakened

You are the trouble I’ve missed
It isn't really that dark of a veil
Put it on, I’m helpless
Track Name: Hands (Damage Decade Remix)
Talk trigger master
Something in the way you speak like a gun
Tempts my love to somewhere new
You can keep it, and walk right past her
Tell me if the wait drew speed to your tongue
She may have my love but I have her youth
And that’s all I found
Covered and lying on the ground

Singing ooh ooh oh-oh-oh
Watching you rust from waiting
Thinking you’re better than it
But everything gets written down
And your beliefs are turned to fiction now
So sing ooh ooh oh-oh-oh

What’s gonna happen when people start dropping dead?
I see them struck down by the rapture
Come sailing through the back of their heads

I hope you know all your plans
Hope you got them locked up
Like tiny thieving hands
Fingers shut, clutching your cross

I gotta know
Do you still think she’s a miracle
Ignoring you’re blind
If everything gets written down
Then all your books are just fiction now
You know it’s true

When I’m tired enough to miss you
And I know my child will taste your skin
Remember the sound of my voice
If you hear us coming, come down, down, down
