The nights are like crystal, the water burns Stay awake, stay warm, we are the kids of the cannibals Spinning around an extinguished sun Cities pillaged by children, no gods, no fun. So I put down these pages And start reading faces of The lines between lines, either side of their smiles Our minds, so close to gone In hallowed places, hold me close You are my favorite song. You are my radio Drowning in frequencies My radio and me. We fossick for futures, lost like always If you won't come to hell with me why the hell would I stay in heaven with you? Wolves will circle, but I'm no lamb I never had a shepherd, I never had a fucking plan. So I silence the voices And start making choices of Amputations, dead stations and sweeter things That only silent, sweet darkness may slowly bring.

Guss Fruh 02:00
In this heat, with this heart The blood beats in crooked time And I know its selfish But I feel just like a shellfish High and dry within drywall Looking out at nothing at all In this land, with these lies The picket fences make for crooked smiles And I know you have your wishes But they get washed out with the dirty dishes In this place where the power lines They look more like crucifixes The sky and earth, they are kissing And I wanna be squashed up in between them And be washed away Outside this box of my wisdom And be washed away Outside this box of my brain To a new place Where I finally will forget my name.

Into the abyss mouthing off at god I wanna go back and catch All the trains I missed when I was so, so sad A crack in the sky cries a million tides We wear our raincoats against tornadoes But in the middle of the night We share our secret songs to none We share our razors, we share our blood Thieving goblins, thanks for nothing Wild coyote, call me home Warm night, cold light Shines upon cathedrals of junk.

You've been working overtime In the galley, keeping your boat moving And I'm towing the party line From my airplane somewhere overhead What you plan on doing tonight, my friend? I'm thinking of killing someone Why not? When the Hangman is in bed And my get away is in the tides inside my head These frost bitten feet fail to feel And this rotten wood makes for worthy oars Row out, hold tight and tell me tear-jerking tails Without them we'll be swept to sea for sure What you plan on doing tonight, my friend? I'm thinking of killing myself Why not? When you've forgotten how to find my face And the edge of the earth is calling me by my name.

Crows 04:23
There ain't no rest for a brain reckoned rotten So unopened let this skull remain 'til all is forgotten... As the convict stain Infects the colony's name The ocean ever unforgiving Blue bottle tides are rising With all these secrets that are not worth knowing But shine like jewels in the night of time And squeeze the last drops Of the long dusk of the easy life Where the murder continues to crow Convincing themselves they're not cannibals As they eat from the very soil into which they sew Their need to be alone Your unemployed sense of wonder is looking for a ride... And don't you only hope When you got no control? It's easier to leave than be left behind In the maudlin cracks of your poor fucking mind Where men in suits too big for their bodies Dance us in circles til everybody is dizzy I throw my guts up Can we go home now? Where the murder continues to crow Convincing themselves they're not cannibals As they eat from the very soil into which they sew Their need to be alone But its easier to lie When the questions burn in cages then die But where are we gonna put these pawns When the empire don't own this fucking board.

Burning with a blue flame Coffin polish crazy grin Lit up like the Commonwealth The war, the head, the hell Searching through dead soldiers Trying to find a joy holder The horror is very real, my friends Not so the happy end As time holds a silver scythe And sits by your side All I wanted to do was to spike the punch Ended up poisoning the well I was looking for a free lunch Ended up dining in hell I never knew the things I thought I did Couldn't care about the things I thought I could Standing under pale moon, paper thin Giving up and falling in Never ending bender, never enough Self employed employee of the month You've been stapling fourth leaves Onto clovers with three Trying to trick fate In his favorite game It's like an old rain coat that you wish you had kept Or a cold you caught you wish you could keep Well you found a little gold but then you dug to deep Now there's this hole where there used to be a hill.
7.
I've been striking another man's beard for too long now I've been baking things I really should have fried I've been singing songs to no one that I have now forgotten Now they only ever existed in my mind Those loose leaved people, so easy to undo I can write on them, rip them out and send them all to you I built a cage with your bones From every crack comes a nightmare They crawl through the walls and across the windows Illuminated by the very things they tear apart Your reflection is a fading day glow Yawn twice, as if you were tired Don't sleep, don't dream this into existence They're waiting and listening I built a cage with your bones I built a cage with your bones I built a cage and I watched it wall apart I built a cage with your bones You've been dragging my hat through a swamp of regret And you know, when it gets hot I'm gonna wear it In this garden of eden, trying to break even If you're not the early bird then there's no fucking worm Sail a sinking ship to shore Through war and hell Only to find it gets worse still, a cell I built a cage with your bones I built a cage with your bones I built a cage and I watched it wall apart I built a cage with your bones
