Jasper Graham great album to listen to while wearing an ill-fitting binder and cutting all your hair off in the bathroom. also the "God who made you special and loves you very much" line in Honey Water was perfectly positioned to make me cry so thanks Jan šŸ’œ Favorite track: Honey Water.

travel through the desert in the daytime nighttime holds the terror of the wraith focus on the power of these learnings every day lose just a little faith for far beyond the surface unimaginable shapes lie underneath old mattresses and veggietales tapes come back to the town of second guessing show the sign to anyone who'll look feel the dead war's embers reigniting cry for those the devil's flame has took for far beyond the village men in fading crimson capes weave tapestries of hempen rope and veggietales tapes wake up naked after the attack deals with dragons, debts can only stack steal the weapon, get my shadow back lead the party far into the mountains catch the warlock, break his legs in two lose a couple fingers to the frostbite realize the werewolf might be you for far beyond the blizzard i am plotting my escape from this prison made of broken glass and veggietales tapes

Pretty Boy 03:39
grab a flannel and a hat you look more masculine like that chipping polish on your nails purple scrunchie ponytail awfully simple breadcrumb trail god you're such a pretty boy such a simple necessity boy and you make me wanna know what i should say it's simple mathematic lies when i look into your big brown eyes and you make me wanna throw my dream away, away speak from the top half of your voice ignore when your car makes that noise treat your body just the same live your whole life like a game hair so pretty, what a shame god you're such a pretty boy such a simple necessity boy and you make me wanna find another way it's simple mathematic lies when i look into your big brown eyes and you make me wanna be ok, ok, ok hey hey oh, i'll be ok but god you're such a pretty boy such a bare necessity boy and you make me wanna know, are you ok? it's simple mathematic lies when i look into your big brown eyes and you make me wanna throw it all away, away (everything is perfectly fine i am going to look divine)

rattlesnakes and ancient runes grass-fed secrets burning like a torch don't get scorched a masquerade where elder gods laugh and drink and plan their ragnarok it's a laughing stock of rye when the age of blood is nigh and our nightmares fill the sky there'll be nothing left to cry you and i so says the lizard's eye lavender and candle wax olive oil dripping from a cask well let's ask a future king kneels on the ground waiting for traditions of the old the sword goes through his shoulder see the guards reacting violently just when the priest's mind is set free and out the back sorcerers flee and shake with glee so says the wyrmwood tree crystal shards and wisps of smoke where the truth stands now, there once stood doubt check it out a carriage on the edge of town an alchemist with great potions in store when suddenly the door was flung their swords were drawn and arrows strung as they stormed in the trap was sprung and fire brighter than the sun filled their lungs so says the spirit's tongue

down in yon forest there stands a hall the bells of paradise i heard them ring and it's covered all over with purple and pall and i love my lord jesus above anything in that hall there stands a bed the bells of paradise i heard them ring and it's covered all over with scarlet so red and i love my lord jesus above anything on that bed there lies a knight the bells of paradise i heard them ring whose wounds have been bleeding day and night and i love my lord jesus above anything next to that bed there stands a stone the bells of paradise i heard them ring which the virgin mary knelt upon and i love my lord jesus above anything beneath that bed there runs a flood the bells of paradise i heard them ring the one half runs water the other runs blood and i love my lord jesus above anything at the foot of that bed there grows a thorn the bells of paradise i heard them ring which ever bore blossom since he was born and i love my lord jesus above anything over that hall the moon shines bright the bells of paradise i heard them ring denoting a savior was born there that night and i love my lord jesus above anything

Honey Water 03:06
this is the slime of metamorphosis inside of a cocoon this is the full on mental breakdown in a unisex bathroom this is the exile to the puzzle space for 40 days and nights this is a parasite this is the hay that, waiting patiently, will into gold be spun this is the flower gently placed inside the barrel of a gun this is the generation shocked that it could ever get this far this is honey water in a mason jar this is the photographic memory destroyed for its own good this is the colony of termites in the lifeboats made of wood this is your body's way of telling you it isn't just a phase this is a paraphrase this is the baby sparrow ruined by the stench of human touch this is a god that made you special and loves you very much this is the pharaoh's friends and family who join him in the tomb this is honey water in a warm dark room this is the part where i say nothing but you all sing along this is the bottle of lorazepam who's writing you a song this is the basket in the living room of almost matching socks this is paradox when the moonlight casts a shadow on the ghost you're giving power and the silence is unbearable and your blood begins to sour when it's hard to stick up for yourself and harder to repent this is honey water waiting to ferment
