Soft as Snow 03:56
Soft as snow, he crushed my hopes with a gesture Intricate, he arranged his fingers' significant poses to simplify my understanding of current events he told me I'd die, if I didn't fall and repent. Dispensing with the myths of our own satisfaction I knew your gift was to cut through that sheet of lies We listened back and heard his voice buried in static He threatened attack, offered no choice Wanted adoration so bad his illusion got sloppy We found the crack, the break in his voice he thought us complacent when we had gone behind the curtain Found an old man, who wanted nothing but omnipotence.

Is it Warm? 02:24
With this mouth I'll drink your poison Just enough to cleanse my palate with these teeth I'll filter more and swallow what remains Then I am floating, then I am falling all too real, and too cold. With these eyes I'll see your flickering images of world disorder with these ears I'll hear your cries not knowing what they mean Are they of laughter? Are they frustration? Are they real? Are they warm?

Took a trip with some unknown demon on the Road on the right side of town he said "Doesn't it seem like we could dream our way to new ground?" he said "Doesn't it seem like the same tired old shit about staying here together, chatting about the weather and ignoring the folks that don't fit?" So I followed this demon, his name was Barbatos he told me he could see all time. Then the animals told me he wasn't lying and I thought I was losing my mind So he taught me his power, told me never to use it, then burned a tree trunk just for fun. We crept down a staircase, through a mossy tunnel far down away from the sun. He said "I've seen heaven and the other place I can't wait to see the look upon your face when you realize it's all here on earth. There's no reason I can see for you not to shape your reality. Make your treasure, name its worth." After three days' travel, we made our way to a breathtaking place There were people of all shapes and sizes running wild without disgrace The demon had said that some powerful woman had hidden her treasure marked it with a feather and to find it was to help us to bring about change. We could get what we wanted, fight back when confronted, ignore it if we wanted to. There was nothing you could ever say, and little you could ever sing to be cast to the current through. I tried to thank him for bringing me to this village where I could hide among the corn. He wouldn't hear me, said he grew weary. He had a lot to help us learn. He said "I've seen heaven and the other place I can't wait to see the look upon your face when you realize it's all here on earth. There's no reason I can see for you not to shape your reality. Make your treasure, name its worth."

I'll be driving for hours on the same southwestern cliff searching for a meteor shower that possible doesn't exist it's late, I've waited so long every one of a thousand stars we can see is burning strong maybe one of those thousand stars that we see will break off and come hurtling toward me Or maybe I'm in a city on top of a warehouse roof the stores are being looted, there's no hope for the youth will you pass that cigarette to me the snow is falling thicker now and I can hardly see whatever happens between now and then I don't want to be alone when the world ends. Black hole swallows our system we could be one with the void or maybe we'll all no longer have the need to be employed I wanna know, I don't want to wait but I'd like a payoff with chaos and carnage Maybe the dream stops, we all wake up and shake it off our context is superior, awareness is aloft we're standing parallel to time your past and my future can try to align I can hardly imagine such a thing but I can't wait to see what it brings. Black hole swallows our system we could be one with the void or maybe we'll all no longer have the need to be employed I wanna know, I don't want to wait but I'd like a payoff with chaos and carnage

Run to the river, Run to the sea I'll be in over my head, comfortably don't you keep waiting for me on that shore Don't care too much for land anymore.

One of us must be Magdalene, and one of us must be Christ One must be Antarctica and one must be the ice. One of us must be Jekyll and the other one must be Hyde One must be the Widower, and one the one that died. It goes back again Now until the end. One must be branches when the autumn comes to call One must be the wind that shakes the other's leaves to fall One must be the span in which the other lives and dies When one outlasts the other, it has not to do but cry. It goes back again Now until the end. ____________________ Ice All Melting: Well I know that I've made it my mission to assist your tired flesh across this snow and through this winter In the cold I've become so adept at addition You can place me in water and watch me grow then see me wither. And the blankets go up across windows and the bottles come down from the shelves and the sunlight has given up on us and I've lost all regard for my health even though I've just I've just seen the fire in your eyes and I've seen the ice all melting I'm alone in a room full of people and these dudes made my friend feel uncomfortable so she left can't say I blame her And they keep on emitting these syllables but tonight I will take all the hot air that I can get even from some strangers And I'm looking ahead to the moment when the stale air escapes from my room and the trees are no longer so jagged and the nights are no longer so doomed even though I've just I've just seen the fire in your eyes and I've seen the ice all melting
