lyrics

Catastrophic wisdom
casts the dead skin away
Tunnel visions and deep incisions
dictate decisions led astray
and still the rainbow stains my wall
and ties me up inside my bed
the lustful evenings so deceiving
ricochet inside my head
and each picture is a factor of a story
I continually regret
each letter in each word, on each line
something I wish I hadn’t said/read

recession plagues oblivious subversion
enraged, syncopated inversions

Forgotten, relapse
Infinity passes them here
Valence, shelter
Lost on this sacrificial cue
Hanging on the tripwire
Auras pull the cord and we fall too
Mirrored bloodlines
Breakthrough
Everything.

So spin back the prism
And let refractions play
Because with this retraction you get the same reaction
No matter what you say
And will I answer when you call
As my chest drowns in mounting dread
City and county roads that won’t ever let go
Of those lines that you spoon-fed
And was that really your post?
Did you really love me the most?
Or were you really just that ghost
That couldn’t accept the fact that you were long since dead?

And we’ll divide up the provisions for invasion
That provide the tides of the derivations

And I let out this birth cry.

And from my lips escape this birth cry.
