Atoms Smash
The sequence found but pushed away
I’ll love nothing more
Drink plant eat drink, take my time
Drink plant eat drink, take my time
A stage set for the plague of primates
In the sky, on the wind, in the soil
I’m waiting for my cloud bank
To rain and rain and rain on the world
Atoms smash
Seeds hit ground
The craters birth new plants
They swallow my friends
A single seed crashes into me
I’m lifted by my trashing strings
What am I? What have I combined?
What am I? What have I combined?
I’m a spiral, I think quickly
I expand, my strings grow wings and hands
I expand, my strings grow wings and hands
I’m a spiral, I’m spiraling
Atoms smash
Seeds hit ground
The craters birth new plants
The scream and spiral towards deep-space dark mass
They swallow my friends
They swallow my friends
Stop!
This must be hell
A universe grows in my self
Oh, I will let it grow
It will stretch my strings
And in that pitch-black brightness, I become everything
Atoms smash
Seeds hit ground
The craters birth new plants
The scream and spiral towards
Deep space dark mass
They swallow my friends
They swallow my friends
Atoms smash
They swallow my friends
Atoms smash
They swallow all of them
Armed To The Teeth
Thick green I pushed back
Wading through the thick black
Footprints in the thickest grass
Wolves always find my tracks
A flare, a fire come on
Just push the leaves away
A flare, a fire come on
Just push the leaves away
I find myself alone again, alone again
A flare, a fire come on
Just push the leaves away
A flare, a fire come on
Just push the leaves away
I find myself alone again, alone again
I find myself alone again, alone again
A flare, a fire come on
Just push the leaves away
A flare, a fire come on
Just push the leaves away
I find myself alone again, alone again
I find myself alone again, alone again
The Clearing
I woke in the snow with my face on the pavement
And icicles hanging off most of my clothes
Ten picket fences for ten perfect houses
With green little gardens lined up in a row
I walked past the gardens and into the trees
And I found myself rather lost
And I picked a nice clearing
I dropped to my knees
I said I will get home at any cost
But they found me in the snow
Icicles on all my clothes
Surrounded in the splinters
Of ten picket fences for ten perfect houses
They're shattered and scattered all across the road
I stand and I look at the wreckage around me
I whistle and turn
I start walking home
And it's back through the gardens
And through the same trees
To the clearing I passed out in before
And I threw up my hands to admit my defeat
When the chemicals erupted once more
And the clearing grew and began to bend
And all the sun light started pouring in
And you walked up
All bathed in light
And you stripped me naked
You held me tight
But they found me in the snow
Icicles on all my clothes
Surrounded in the splinters
Wolftank, Doff Thy Name
Who's loyal now?
Who stuck around?
Who still has the oldest of words in their mouths?
Propped in between
You know who I am
A cheater exposed with hardly the upper hand
They had me jeopardizing everything
(under, under)
They had me jeopardizing everything
(under, under)
You have cost me everything
And so much more
You have cost me everything
And so much more
It's a ruse
All the images have been removed
They took nothing from me
Well, it's just not true
It's the final punch to a swollen mouth
It's not hard to take all the good lines
Good lines
Good lines
Good lines
Good lines out
Good lines out
Good lines out
Good lines out
Untitled
I’m in a cave
My mind’s erased
I’m in a cave
I thought I was strong
I was just bouncing along
Across and over my guitar
I thought I was strong
I was just bouncing along
Across and over my guitar
I ruined everything
And I blame myself
Because there’s no one else
For me to blame
I’ve got to start again
I’ve got to start again
Moments Before The Smashing of Future Ryan
Yours is the only cancer I accept
Yours is the only cancer I accept
Because it’s you in my lungs
And I cough you up for days, for days
I can cough you up for days
Because it's you in my lungs
And I cough you up for days, for days
It's you in my lungs
And I cough you up for days, for days
Roof to bench to leathery ground
Roof to bench to leathery ground
Roof to bench to leathery ground
Roof to bench to leathery ground
Roof to bench to leathery ground
And I kick dirt up and into the air
And I kick dirt up and into the air
Away and under
Away and under
Away and under
Away and under
And I kick dirt up and into the air
And I kick dirt up and into the air
Away and under
Away and under
It's you in my lungs
And I cough you up for days, for days
Roof to bench to leathery ground
Roof to bench to leathery ground
Roof to bench to leathery ground
Roof to bench to leathery ground
Roof to bench to leathery ground
Snakes, Our Ground
I cannot think of anything to think about
I search the folds of my brain
I stretch myself towards my destination
We ate roots and sat
I traced pitter-patterns in the grass
See where the wind blows me
See where the earth throws me
See where the fire draws me
See where the water calls me
We ate roots and sat
I traced pitter-patterns in the grass
We ate roots and sat
Beneath the tree-twists and the gas
You watched me go insane
(They chased me down, they ate my insides out)
And you loved me just the same
(They chased me down, they ate my insides out)
And only I can tame
(They are burying me now, there is dirt in my dead mouth)
The growing beasts in my brain
Is this normal?
Where does this animal begin?
Is this normal?
What’s this running through my skin?
We ate roots and sat
I traced pitter-patterns in the grass
We ate roots and sat
Beneath the tree-twists and the gas
I melted and
Watched your mouth moving
A Flock of Weatherboxes
Where the sidewalks ends, a new life begins
With a better taste in my mouth
But that sidewalks far
And my eyes feel raw
So, I spit the better taste out
I'm the worst of kids when it comes to this
As the drink falls to the floor
I just took and took 'til I shook and shook
And I couldn't take take anymore
Maybe you'll change me
You'll set me on the straightest path
Well baby you can't save me
I am uncaged
I am uncaged
I am uncaged
I am uncaged
It's the poems you write
It's the lines you recite
It's the pain your voice
It's the songs and the noise
It all is truly terrible
All of it's truly terrible
Maybe you'll change me
You'll set me on the straightest path
Well baby you can't save me
I am uncaged
I am uncaged
I am uncaged
I am uncaged
Bury for a cost befalls another one
Said here's some pills
We'll get them filled
We will walk it off
Maybe you'll change me
You'll set me on the straightest path
Well, baby you can't save me
I am uncaged
I am uncaged
I am uncaged
I am uncaged
I Worship Raw Beats
My flower hands they bloom and grow
I'm sweating at the cross roads
Wolf through how sound my paws stomp the digital ground
You are rock I am made of wires
I had no idea
You are rock I am made of wires
I had no idea
We were not meant to think or to love
We were meant to crush and to plug
So I crush and I plug
So I crush and I plug
So I’m crushed by the weight of waiting
And I'm plugged into new machines
You are rock I am made of wires
I had no idea
You are rock I am made of wires
I had no idea
We were not meant to think or to love
We were meant to crush and to plug
So I crush and I plug
So I crush and I plug
The Dreams
Last summer things got hazy
And I ended up in a band
And I slept well through the daytime
On my stomach in the back of a van
And I was shouting beneath a roof of trees
With my new friends surrounding me
And I came into my body
And things were swarming that I've never seen
And I can't abide by rules which are not my own
There's a wolf on my lawn and my bravery is gone
And suddenly I'm a child again
I ran the bases round
But I fell and I scraped my knees
Is that bad luck for me?
Is running bad luck for me?
And I almost fell in love
But I swore and we tore in two
Is that bad luck for you?
Am I bad luck for you?
And I watched her across the table
As the dreams and the drugs left my brain
And it is awkward to meet new people
And watch our perceptions of them change
But I wished I still felt the same now
But I am emptier than ever some how
I need to learn how to keep my mouth shut
To keep friendly things from coming out
And I can't abide by rules which are not my own
There's a hawk on my fence
And it's warning me again
And suddenly I become a man
The days are winding down
To what I'm a bit confused
Are they winding down to you?
Am I winding down to you?
I will keep on writing songs
Until it's time to record again
And I'll be crazy until then
Yes I'll stay crazy until then
Oh, oh
The Drugs
I was born again in a foreign place with my pupils wide and my friends on stage
It was a warmth I had not had the pleasure to face
And when the music fades the kids could care less
It's a mockery of the time we spent
So I crept into a hole where I could rest
You can paint me a junkie, it's quite alright
I've got all the drugs in the world
I've got all the drugs in the world
I was bound and gagged and held to the flames
And you expect me to try to entertain this curtain of humans who always knew my name
So I wrote new songs and we danced for nights
And we smoked it all 'til the bag was dry
I part the doors and creep back into the light
You can paint me a junkie, it's quite alright
I've got all the drugs in the world
I've got all the drugs in the world
You can have me anyway you want me, my body is yours
I've got all the love in the world
I've got all the love in the world
I've got all the love in the world
I've got all the love in the world
I've got all the love in the world
I've got all the love in the world
Drop the Mike
With my feet on the grass
And my heart beating just a little too fast
I met your other self
When we were so mixed up
So that's two of you I have to cut
With my hands now untied
I've got a million more new words to write
But I met my other self
In the lines of a song
He is raw and wild
But he's awfully strong
And he kicked me off my chair
And he tied feathers in my hair
With my legs stretching out
And my body pressing against the couch
I lift myself up again with the palms of my hands
'Cause its morning now and I'm free to dance
And he kicked me off my chair
And he tied feathers in my hair
And I lift myself from the couch
And I light my words
And I spit 'em out
Listen to me: there's no epic feeling
Don't you think it's best if we just leave it to rest?
Like why am I rapping
Like do we have no ideas left?
Like look at his chest
Look at his fucking Weatherbox vest
With his hands flying a "W" like Weezer's up next
Yeah but you were like being chased all over and inside of you place
By demons with masks on and your mind erased
I tried to save the color the face
The color of your face
But you still tried to replace me with a different bass player
You thought I was layered: white with black underneath
Coming for you in your sleep
A million years in the future
Cops in your computer
So here you are again, man number two, got the same hands
Just a snap back from that trap, don't give me any of that, it is that bad, it is that bad
No, it's not that bad
No, it's not that bad
No, it's not, no it's not that bad
No, it's not, no it's not that bad
And he kicked me off my chair
And he tied feathers in my hair
With my head in the clouds
And my body always laying against the ground
I lift my self up again with the palms of my hands
Cause its morning now and I'm free to dance
Trippin' the Life Fantastic
I was born in a swamp
I was born with no clothes on
I was born in a swamp
I was born with no clothes on
I broke off and became something breathing
I was fast; there were packs I was leading
I was born in a swamp
I was born with no clothes on
Tripped out the devil spoke to me
Through my high fingertips
Which were in the ground
The same beneath you now
Which means I'm alive
Which means I'm not dead
This god of your holy books I do not agree with him
I will not be one more servant
I will not bow to anything
Not a puff of smoke or the flash of a turning mirror
Let's talk about your real fears
Like that you might actually be all alone
No happy heavenly home
To return to god, dispenser of judgmental pencil shavings
He's got baggies full for you
But I've got a planet packed with proof
Oh, to understand
You must spend time alone
To comprehend
You must spend time alone
To be together
We must spend time alone
And I am the only thing that's controlling
My functions, my habits, and hands
And I'm alone in the vastness
Hollow vacuum
I take my chances
And I am holding all my horses tight
We've become breathlessly dark
And we're coming up for light
I have cobwebs for maps
I'm walking in circles again
I'm walking in circles again
I'm walking in circles again
I'm walking in circles again
I have cobwebs for maps
