Make Believe 03:31
there's a ghost who walks through walls and he got caught last summer for a couple hours he's of our kind - just a little off well he hangs from chandeliers and he barely talks we all know just what you're on nathaniel he claims he possessed by a four horned horse that's inside his chest its got two mouths, fangs for teeth and it sinks them deeper each time that he breathes he don't know who to love or where to place his feet he don't know how to trust maybe it's all just make believe nathaniel he crawls through walls it suits him better then walking through the halls

Pinch 02:18
sink baby sink it seems to fester at the surface you’re out of place and couldn’t cut it as a person get back sleep on the lawn waiting for abduction by aliens well it beats being unproductive get back i’m done i’m starving there’s salt on my tongue and it burns and you’re rubbing it in all at once it’s my fault i deserve every pinch every ounce i cannot lie cause its all been done before what can i do because its all be said i'm starving see we were bred with no real fucking purpose just talking heads that are marching towards a furnace get back

Quell 03:14

well it ate away too much and just left flecks of how it was sweep it out under the sun let it stand before the judge yeah that gavels swinging down it will surely kill us all and i barely come around but i hope before you're gone you'll open up your arms even if they're not with mine take care it's all a dream that morning won't wake you up from and if you're suffering well aren't we all just broken people while this slowly moves along your distance stretches from your source who's to say what this all means when something pulls you on its course i guess i never really knew just what was racing through your mind wasn't much that i could do but i hope before you die you'll open up your arms even if ours don't entwine take care its all a dream that morning won't wake you up from (there it goes you cannot block it all) and if you're suffering well aren't we all just broken people (with the threads you hung amongst your walls) you and i used to swing on the arches of the surface lines lots of words, movement, and objects that disturbed the size of the arcs and now it's strange to be worlds apart when i know where you dream

Even if this is going nowhere all things must pass or so i hear father said he called but couldn’t get through just mumbles in the grass may they lead me back to you to cut through the hum of all of the noise and try to create with my own voice and how it shakes with each and every breath go and wear it down don’t let up yet aint it beautiful cause it’s in us all hidden in the bedsheets where you left me in the morning you’re so relentless when you say i’m not important and even if this is going nowhere there’s something to be saved for a soul that’s laid bare so tie it to a stake or now seal it with a kiss in the ripples of the quake dear are we adrift it’s drawing near it’s in us all now just sing those songs out even if this is going nowhere all this must pass or so it appears all things must pass

Marianna 02:47
Here’s Marianna she can feel the weight hoping that her rope don’t break and i can’t cut the image of her body swaying the prior night she was on her side hoping that the words slid out so that she could heal in the oceans tides but the demons drug her down please don’t chase me out here baby I’m already well past saving here’s marianna and her last note she wrote i love you don’t be sad fifteen years i have tried to cope i tried but i can’t

Why do you leave me in the cellar of your home bloods slowly leaking from the centre of my nose when will you leave me alone? in the days of my youth in the days of my youth scratching at the walls inside of my cocoon falling forward, slow down to stand up tall fully exposed drifting towards a kingdom to envelope all i know falling forward, slow down i chase all my echoes i can’t seem to let go
9.
Here comes old faithful running over through the dandelions and clover rather playful in his stride his feet are barely touching ground as he leaps and bounds an abled bodied guy the simple life tuckered i’m exhausted when the skies dim to be at ease at while asleep at night and here comes his sister in the distance with a stick that she has lifted from out amongst the pines she likes to sit and gaze in silence but she could run for miles and not even be tired the simple life tuckered i'm exhausted when the skies dim to be at ease while asleep at night well i guess that the wind will change directions and we forget to count our many blessings we’ll spiral through the gales as if we’re dancing eventually everything’s all right the simple life god i wanna know just what it’s like to be at ease while asleep at night
