the gleam
of flesh in your teeth
fresh from the slaughter
Machines
Believe to repeat
the act of Creation
show them you do not care!

your own
night-
mare
The Queen's waiting on her Seed
clear all the aisles!
Slaves! go into your graves!
the Sun's made it's Labour

Sacagawea

we went searching
through the forest,
up the mountain,
down in the river,
we went searching for the Answer
sa-ka-gka-wee-ah
when we woke up in the ocean
we met up with chris columbus
we were searching for the Purpose
or the current

between a Marriage and a War
the carnival king is born
he knows his
no-stra-dom-i-noes
but the Family,
they never knew the cause
so then the Teacher always falls
for the sentimental Whore
/in no order...
sweet Fibonacci, please
give him his reward
so sad his Language always falls

'Oh Holy War!'
we sang along when he started talk-
talkin-
singin-
screamin': 'O God!
please take this off my head
b4 i bite someone i luv'
Nature was our Lover once
the pregnant dove that could not
This is the End! follow us
we were the brave,
brave, city-states'

/in formation, in the opera house

see how slow
the last leaf will
fall
so cold
so
close
to
Gold
Shadow
see how
old
your memory has
grown
so...
'til no Shadow
but all the
butterfly
wings
broke color
to others
the dream of the little world
the center, the island, the sun
now the story's erased
we sleep with the same face
see you in the mirror
of God?
but all of the young
butterfly wings
broke color
to other
Unknown
Shadow
feel how old
your
memory
has
g r o w n
so close...
the dream on the ancient wall
the body, the temple, a house
now the story's erased
we sleep in the pages
i'll see you in the mirror of God
but-
endless
cycle
re-
cycle
/return
island as i was alone
flowers where you walk;
a song
now it's bird laughing through you;
the song
the island where i was alone
where i woke alone
Shadow
Gold
Shadow
endless
action/reaction
to dust...
Gold
Shadow

Election Day
03:58
|
|||
|
wake up and enjoy the Show
if you don't know the Name
it don't mean that you weren't
willing to go
wake up and smell the roses, dear
i pushed 'em up for you
you've be Laboring
far too hard this year
so thanks for comin' to the shows
i dare be bound again
my soul upon the forfeit
that your lord-
won't ever break no hearts no more
i had a thousand lovers
but i lost them all in a War
so Love,
lay down beside me in this tomb
i built you like a house
but then i wore you like were a room
so wake up and look out your windows
the paparazzi's peekin' in-
is that why we sleep in our clothes?
no...
don't you know that you are blind?
ascend the step up to the Library
knowing that your body
can't climb that high
wake up and sing Sweet Caroline
there's trumpets in the corridors
there's carpenters stompin' Time
so even if the Shadows talk
just know that they're a part of you
inside of you's a holy Ghost
or so i'm told...
hey, wake up and take off your clothes!
i wanna see you naked, Lord
you know i'm achin' to get close!
say, can't you feel the fire's glow?
beneath our feet the whole time;
like a sick drunk, earth has kept it's spin
so even if those animals all find out
how bitter-sweet the prophesy
inside the sea
as she open's her mouth:
if we all died on election day
if we all died on election day...
well, i'm sure that your senator would say:
'the apocalypse is just a phase
we're going through every day'
i'm sure all the animals would stay
oh oh oh oh oh o oh

Situations
07:54
|
|||
|
you've got your situations
i'd say you're born into them
and you'd go to prove
it's got more to do
with bad luck
than bad news
you wear it
on and across your chest
you wanna break your patterns
maybe kick your habits
but you got confused
the way they broadcasted the truth
to you
so what's really you?
yeah, what's best?
for your adaptation
and success
so don't you ever say that:
you're traumatized by human error
or you're disquieted by your sin
no, cuz we do that for you now
so don't scared
so don't be scared, no
we've made our brave conclusion
so love let's start our movement
prove that maybe
our fate can cheat
this machine
we got locked
in this goddamned basement
so turn beethoven over
so we don't fall on deaf ears
but we all have one story
same actors, same allegory
oh humanity!
our seed still needs something
to be complete
but now your decisions are spent
so what's influence/coincidence
no never say that:
you're traumatize by human error
or you're disquieted by your sins
so don't take
people
so
personally
but we attended the wrong film
we attended the auditorium-
we missed the chorus line
the only thing that allowed us to cry
we missed the perfect life
is everyone prepared to sleep tonight?
oh!
but from the telephone in my dream
a thousand voices rising up through me
which is my voice on the air
when extension don't throw a fit
we don't realize
what you kill
it don't ever die
if we don't materialize
we're gonna pull apart on the inside
if we can't feel the greater life
then we can't walk across divided lines
we've got it figured out enough
i swear we've got it figured out now
and it's all relative
so i go:
da da da
oh oh oh
oh my god!
turn it off
no don't be frightened, love
no don't be scared
don't be scared
no
