Veggietales Tapes
02:43
|

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)

The Spirit's Tongue
02:40
|
|||
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

Eastern Europe
04:16
|

send me to eastern europe
let me see what i can see
buy keychains in the gift shops
i'll find my name and set it free
give love and validation
cuz what else do i have to give
what doesn't kill you makes you stronger
but far too much has let me live
and when i'm there hope you stop walkin
in those shoes so full of holes
and when i'm out in eastern europe
come party with my dancing souls
send me to eastern europe
let me go enjoy the sights
just let me be distracted
by vintage clothes and fairy lights
that train to eastern europe
so lovely by the windowsill
what doesn't kill you makes you stronger
am i really that hard to kill?
and when i'm there hope you stop walkin
on those red hot burning coals
and when i'm out in eastern europe
come party with my dancing souls
yeah when i'm there hope you stop walkin
on those red hot burning coals
and when i'm out in eastern europe
come party with my dancing souls

The Bells of Paradise
04:48
|

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

did you lose weight or did you just get older?
darling why couldn't it be both?
you look exhausted but at least you've been bathing
tell me is that your idea of growth?
well i'm glad you finally changed your mind bout me honey
i'm glad you find my imprisonment so funny
well i've been here
trapped inside a crystal
and i'm not quite as in on the joke
spent a thousand years
waiting on the rituals
it's not the fire that kills you
it's inhaling all that smoke
you were in quite a rush to make my acquaintance
once you heard i might be back in town
last time we met you found my offer quite lacking
tell me what made you want me around?
did you realize just how useful i could be honey?
i guess when you put it like that it's real funny
well i've been here
trapped inside a crystal
and i'm not quite as in on the joke
spent a thousand years
waiting on the rituals
it's not the fire that kills you
it's inhaling all that smoke
(2x)
(evan diem)
i swear that you don't want this smoke
go for broke with the beast-back GOAT
cinch up rope, a backpack full of goat heads
toast bread with a glance but i never broke bread
drink flowing for the omnipotent, leave em stone stone heads
bedridden with their overcoats soaked red
better throw bodies from the bow and bow to a know threat
hold your head up, relocated from the old neck
sick, i twist eyes, when i stick a king on a spit
give a spin, then i catch em on the flip side
"little guy" i say, slighted by goliath
sling rock and bang heads, quiet riot
been a thousand years, an amalgam made
a mounting threat with a thousand heads,
feel the pain of a lifetime in a thousand days
so through the fire and flames i'll leave a thousand dead
about to start the career of a godless bitch
like the fountainhead. this is the apocalypse
might've smoked the crystal that you kept me in
give me a few years, i'll destroy everything
'cause i'm a boss of monsters, a godfather of a
mass of mobs, see what a master plan
and man of god can call me all he wants,
cuz i might smite and see how fast a pastor run
now slow it down, give me just enough time
i conduct destruction i can literally cut time
but i'm on the clock, you're on the spot
you want me to stop short, i'll probably not
i came hot out the gate annihilating
no confusing me for satan i was never an angel
i was hated but i gave it everything that i got
i'm here to fuck shit up, i'm not here to save you

Medusa
03:37
|
|||
i don't think i'm ready
to face the crowd
cuz it's been several days
since i've spoken out loud
walk without purpose
i'm burning with shame
and i hope no one asks me my name
don't look at me don't look at me
don't look at me don't look at me
you'll get turned to stone
don't look at me don't look at me
don't look at me don't look at me
you'll get turned to stone
ravage the nearby
panda express
you'd think i live alone
by the way i dress
try to stay focused
keep my voice clear
and go live underground for a year
don't look at me don't look at me
don't look at me don't look at me
you'll get turned to stone
don't look at me don't look at me
don't look at me don't look at me
you'll get turned to stone

Save
11:24
|
|||
(part 1: the panic)
hear the horn blow from the mountain
something's forming in the sky
coalescing like a secret
casting down its yellow eye
run
run
run away don't try to be brave
and look
look
look for anything you can save
save save what can you save
head of a dragon head of a man
when it arrives there'll be no time to plan
you'd better behave
but what can you save
grab your family and get moving
the horizon's gonna crack
let your fight or flight consume you
but fucking christ don't you look back
jump
jump
jump in rhythm with the shockwave
and leave
leave
leave behind what you'll never save
save save what can you save
head of a rabbit head of a bear
when it arrives there'll be nobody there
start digging your grave
but what can you save
(part 2: the hymn)
transdermal celebration
caused a slight mutation in the riff
toppled down a nation
sent the people running for the hills
but the mutants that i see
shine their beauty unto me
i wish you could see them
tectonic tribulation
formed a crust of green beyond the reef
waves fell in formation
caused the plants to bend with spiked leaves
i'm growing with the land
time has taken my hand
and let me touch them
hey hey
a million miles to mark a
stood on the lawn
he's already home when the falling rain
hits his face
(part 3: the prophet)
save save nothing to save
head of a nightingale of a rat
you'd be surprised, once you understand that
how easy it is to behave
everything will be ok
be ok be ok
everything will be ok
ok ok
(2x)
save save nothing to save
head of an octopus head of a snake
the last thing you know will be watching it take
all you claim to have made
everything will be ok
be ok be ok
(danglin your sneakers off the cliff a mile above the city gonna
watch it all burn down)
everything will be ok
ok ok
(don't worry about the ones you couldn't save just take another sip and watch it all burn down)
(2x)
save save nothing to save
head of an antelope head of a slug
scraping the surface, releasing the drug
living deep in the cave
everything will be ok
be ok be ok
(danglin your sneakers off the cliff a mile above the city gonna
watch it all burn down)
(worms chewing the vine away)
everything will be ok
ok ok
(don't worry about the ones you couldn't save just take another sip and watch it all burn down)
(what happened to all that shade?)
(2x)
save save nothing to save
head of a mountain goat head of a sponge
holding your nose, taking the plunge
this was too close of a shave
everything will be ok
be ok be ok
(danglin your sneakers off the cliff a mile above the city gonna
watch it all burn down)
(worms chewing the vine away)
(you're never gonna save me are you, i know)
everything will be ok
ok ok
(don't worry about the ones you couldn't save just take another sip and watch it all burn down)
(what happened to all that shade?)
(you're never gonna save me are you)
(2x)
save save nothing to save
head of a crocodile head of a ram
our name forever will be your command
it's power, pure power you crave
everything will be ok
be ok be ok
(danglin your sneakers off the cliff a mile above the city gonna
watch it all burn down)
(worms chewing the vine away)
(you're never gonna save me are you, i know)
everything will be ok
ok ok
(don't worry about the ones you couldn't save just take another sip and watch it all burn down)
(what happened to all that shade?)
(you're never gonna save me are you)
(2x)
everything is perfectly fine
(danglin your sneakers off the cliff a mile above the city gonna
watch it all burn down)
(worms chewing the vine away)
(you're never gonna save me are you, i know)
i am going to look divine
(don't worry about the ones you couldn't save just take another sip and watch it all burn down)
(what happened to all that shade?)
(you're never gonna save me are you)
(2x)
(part 4: the divine)
transdermal celebration
jets flew in formation i could see them
dropping the crustations
left a trail of flame in their wake
but where is the mutation who told me it was safe?
i can't find him
hey hey
a million miles to mark a
stood on the lawn
he's already home when the falling rain
hits his face
if looks could kill i'd already be there
and you could go into battle holding my hair
save yourself
save yourself
i can feel my eyes are glowing
why the hell is so much of my skin showing
save yourself
save yourself

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
