Amberine 04:55
Amberine, making your signs, talking the lines at me dance and sing, stealing my thunder, making a lover of me show me on in, i think i can mingle, your friends are angels to be but did you know i was special, in case you didn't notice, now i can see fighting fire from all angles, lost in the meadow and asleep Amberine, try not to suffer, its only the color of things call it in, this night will expire and we will be higher than the trees lay down my friend, the poke of my spite will crush your empire to its knees but did you know i was special, in case you didn't notice, now i can see fighting fire from all angles, lost in the meadow and asleep… and asleep but did you know i was special, in case you didn't notice, now i can see fighting fire from all angles, lost in the meadow and asleep… and asleep

oh i can't believe that your talking to me when your kids are in the park overdosing and i could be still if you had someone to kill but your heart is just too obvious and motionless and all that i can't see is everything you envy about me oh i should have known that you'd compromise your own for the rotting cells of architects and percasets and i should have guessed that you'd offer me the rest in a stollen sort of soul infected promise and i can't pretend that i didn't see your friends on the underside of a garbage heap, a not alive and not a sleeping in mmm mmm so wander and weep and i'll try to get some sleep even though your sons are starring at my coffin with thoughts in the past but you know its not the last time we could see the falling shells of autumn and all that i need is a shadow and a dream, a face to hold my memories, some friends to make enemies, an old guitar and a sink for puking in mmm mmm mmm mmm

string us together from a fiery furnace, bait us and brand us and lead us and give us a purpose transform our bodies from an army of angels, package us gently in parcels and ship us in doubles and sing us to sleep now with ten thousand heart aches, a venomous soiree of glances to bring to the party and sever your chances to look what's behind you, it's the same inside you, your perfect and mine to hold onto but that's all, nail your self to the wall, i can tell you're the one who can fall but thats all the jury is making the call, you wont need to be told that your small build me a fever from tulips and branches, hidden in mansion and sold to the kings and the dunces force us to speak now with our tongues strong and twisting, it's the words we are tasting, it's the flavor of moments gone missing and hoard all the answers in the attics of steeples, dine on the staircase and throw down the bones and the gristle in biding my chances to look what's behind me, it's the same thing inside me, it's perfectly haunted with meaning but that's all, give yourselves a call and remind you that you can move on but thats all the jury has made the call, you can dream but you're gonna wake up but that's all, nail your self to the wall, i can tell you're the one who can fall but thats all the jury is making the call, you wont need to be told that your small

the tired earth is coming to an end and it's gonna be your friends that will help you and destroy you and normal life can fuck it in the ass because it's not an easy task to constantly adhere to and Santa Claus and the holy ghost can give you what you need to most cuz it's free and you already owe so go ahead and stick it in the dirt cuz God can't clean it off your shirt and i hope that your not sorry when the hovercraft of crickets do arrive and they've got Satan on their side, you will fall off in a hurry the sky will fall and the planes will burn as you sit and watch your horizon turn from a baby blue to a warm apple blur hmm-ah-hmm da-dum-dum hmm-ah-hmm da-dum-dum gather one and all to meet your doom, apocalyptic afternoons and get well cards to mask the landslides from the stale overdraft to rotten meat from piles of people in the street all taking their last nose dive and it matters not how you role the dice cuz it always lands on Jesus Christ so get your ass to the phone and be saved hmm-ah-hmm da-dum-dum hmm-ah-hmm da-dum-dum surprised you and i are still alive with floating angels by our sides to show us to the next place a rummage through the end of all the things in the vast stench of broken means, it's a holiday for the the snakes and you know it's bad when it feels good and you can proudly say that your erection stood on a fortune of more of the same hmm-ah-hmm da-dum-dum hmm-ah-hmm da-dum-dum

Fools Gold 03:48
your heart is made of fools gold. you bask in the sun but you wait in the cold for the day that your man will come home and call you his own. your head is made of cool ice cream. it's got 31 ideas but they're always the same thing. it seems that society's stoned and you're all alone. sooner or later you'll all meet your doom. foam on the sidewalk and huffing perfume. photos together to silence me now that your gone. your mouth is made of sugar and spice and a female erection that flies into my eyes and sings of the love it disowned to find its control. your eyes go miles and never return cuz you fell from the stars and now your wearing my shirt. now all of the me that you see is written on my sleeve. sooner or later you'll all meet your doom. foam on the sidewalk and huffing perfume. a photo together to silence me now that your gone and all your ideas that fell from the sky that turned mine to impudent fictional lies, that haunt my surroundings with viruses now that your gone [solo] sooner or later you'll all meet your doom. foam on the sidewalk and huffing perfume. a photo together to silence me now that your gone and all your ideas that fell from the sky that turned mine to impudent fictional lies, that haunt my surroundings with viruses now that your gone

Scissors 04:26

hmm hmm hmm oh there's castles made of assholes beyond these emerald skies and we're unleashing them in sections like it's once upon a time and i know you weren't invited but you can't get too far away cuz we're coming for your children to form our ad campaign and the love and sex with robots won't be too far behind you with a smile, sweat and teardrops to promise you the same and it sounds like Christmas, i think i'm losing faith for outside's landslides the song that overplayed hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm the substitutes are preaching of a dark and holy time while their parents are outside barfing cuz their kids are in disguise their ears are pierced with sulfur and their tongues are parched with blood from the thorns that they've been licking off the virgin flower buds that grow in fertile graveyards from the carcasses of rockstars who moan their gentle lyric from the songs that never die oh outstretched, palms wet, i think i'm not ok oh outlet, trap set, the mouse that's under paid [solo] the perfect engine is running in a civic south bound train where the people can drink their coffee with their chronic morning pains we pass the fleet of buildings as we launch into the sky and the sun gives birth to evening then the clouds begin to cry from the noxious tune of angels as we leave our lives behind us and soar through ruins and tangles to a departed perfect mind the last threat, sunset, i think wont be the same an ancient gauntlet on a moon that never wanes hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm
