Madeleine 03:09
When you parcel out yourself in such a criminal fashion the salt on the rations comes through in scattered beams and broken seams inhaling the lashes dissolving the passion but through the door she's wanting more sinks her teeth into the shore melts away 'til she is free one more for her one less for me recluse a pattern played so frequently it speaks to creation to puncture elation screw loose and rattled 'round the library it's yours for the taking if you can be patient but madeleine has crossed the line drawing curtains to unwind sinking in her summer sweat loving more than she could let anybody know for sure and anybody that knows her knows that it's just not enough to be held up from above when it's quiet too quiet she hears everything

I'm sick of all these sunshine girls and the nothing that they traffic in deferential debutantes you know i wish i knew where to begin but you kept your eyes straight forward like the captain of a ship who knew that it would sink and i tried to keep calm and collected, but i hardly understood that we were sucked into the drink sucked into the drink i'm tired of hiding all my treats in the same old dingy cabinets always playing hard to meet you shaking rusty castanets i manufactured manuscripts so i could circumvent the status quo man you fractured all your little brittle broken bones but you looked just like the pitcher throwing straight down the center when i needed a curve and i i'm chewing on cactus leaves in the nosebleeds no relief la da da da sucked into the drink (((aye aye aye aye aye aye))) doing the back-stroke you were amazed when you hit the wall but no one's as surprised as you are and i know that you are but you looked just like the pitcher throwing straight down the center when i needed a curve so i could communicate via sonar take me to your room tell me all about your pretty dreams your lows and extremes

ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh don't be so glum, kid now don't get down i have been waiting to come around your mind is shimmering inside your skull follow me darling we'll walk through walls bring forth the gauntlet read you like holy scriptures in braille trace every feeling every last detail twisting like tree limbs and yea, forsooth we might just find it eternal youth chasm in the foyer escher glances, and i'm stumbling i i fell down patrons, idle chatter dropped your torch but there's writing on the wall, it says "this rib cage is a crown" it is a crown

Parade 03:31
undergrads chosen lads trade favorite colors with winsome herbivores on the balcony that denise, what a peach is she possessed or, just equidistant to the ocean floor now they're stumbling to the drive-in adaptation of a crime do you think they'll get away with it this time? (i don't know) we go out on the town but don't take my picture i'm in danger of being faceless, but it's tribe or die, diatribe and don't scuff my gunner out chasing marigolds to the ocean floor ocean bed oh god, i'm late but i dream instead as city lights fade i'm all choked up in the line-up you can't recognize my face i guess i'll get away with it this time

chasing the ground amber stasis chews the sound but from where i stand there's a dead-end reflex keeping it stirring deaf to the crutch singles ply like double dutch but from where i stand there's a blanket statement ripped out from under me i've been trying awfully hard decrypting echoes in the dark but tonight, this ember holds we're digging tunnels in the snow phantom trains in my head but i'm coming back again cold empty rain in my chest but i'm coming back again dumb dizzy lights in my head

i was running away from things i didn't understand taciturn to trivial gray (A A A) tumbled from the horse and now you're on the lamb, but they tried to tear me apart i tried to tear me apart and if they make an animal can you still give 'em what for? is it too late? am i too far gone? (unintelligible) you always looked best under streetlights confetti swimming in your hair we try to pilot sunken thoughts to smoke signals in the parking lot well i'm a sucker for an unlit fuse but you can't look at me like you used to and now you've lost your sense of home you're everybody's isotope, oh no swing that dagger, buy some time i called you out, and you called me slime but my heart is a volcano oh and we're pulling at the threads at the threads we don't know what else to pull at
