lyrics

13 wings, so only six of us can fly
The shortest straw drawn on camel backs, I must design
The breakage point numbering straw dispensers
Gift horse from across dimensions lost the dentures, scarred with caustic venom
My thoughts of editing beheaded feeling down again
Snap an ink cartridge just so I can drown the pen
Justifying my lust for the climb that I’m upon
No rooks or kings or queens or knights, unite the right and wrong
Trying to dance, finding rhythm in my fighting chance
The deal we made exchanging vows was just some sleight of hand
Time is sand turned to glass within the atom split
The thoughts inside of my will never vote unanimous
So combative with open casket additive, mad again
The starved sink in quicksand and watch the fad ascend
A battered friend circling the drain reaches out with open claws
It’s hard to speak with broken jaws, I bleed and soak the gauze

Matching twins with emphatic manners and that’s a binge
A stitch in nine time, find me I’m patching in
A rude awakening inside of my communiques
The mood to the break the ring craven in pursuit of praise

I search within myself to find some form of catalyst
The morbid chattering, satellites mics and adder skin
Find the man and mice strike twice, now they’re sad again
Memorializing times from when they had a friend
A manic binge posing mannequins with fragile limbs
The sharpest claws draws blood watch the badgers win
Strawman with a badge of tin, imagining
Raising a hatchet like Molly’s father, all is black and grim
Back them in, a fascinating facet dazzles customers
Who Hide their surgery scars behind the plushest furs
I must adjourn, disgust before the wretched rust and lust returns
Conversating with myself between a couple ferns
The subtle burn that becomes inferno is taking over me
Over and over and over and over again, my sense is rotary
Drenched with sweat, the salt invades my eyes so they can nowhere see
No plate or state of mind betrayal is just another rogue to scheme
From Rosa, screams, tabula rasa below the fiends
With no esteem, He keeps two himself. this Noah dreams
A newish pelt the latest target of his flagellations
A cat of nine tails, pacing in combative maze
Matching twins with emphatic manners and that’s a binge
A stitch in nine time, find me I’m patching in
A rude awakening inside of my communiques
The mood to the break the ring craven in pursuit of praise
