Every day
It seems to me
That life is slowing down
This zombie town
Just falls apart
As every year goes by
But everything will change soon
Or so I have been told
One thousand eyes will fill the sky
As giant wings unfold
They shuffle in
One by one
With sunken eyes and rotten flesh and thinning hair
But there’s a place to hide
I know a secret room
The one I mentioned
In some old song or other
But everything will change soon
As now I understand
If we’re all grains on someone’s beach
Then this is the line in the sand
And then the rows of teeth
Taller than city skies
clamped down on our world
And tore it apart
And then the eyes appeared
Glowing bright as stars
Blinded us as the sun fell from the sky

Every day I wait
making sure youre safe
I will always float
in the corner of your room
I will watch you leave
and come back every time
You might never know
but I have kept you warm
Just an empty space
floating in empty space
nothing that I say
will make it through the veil

Bring me out
To the crowd
March me up and read my sins
I already know how this ends
Tell my friends
Tell them all
Tell my family I went fast
I already know how it’ll go
Put the rope
On my neck
Say my prayers and let me fall
You already know what to do
Let my face
Feel the light
One last time before the night
I will never be yours again
But when you pull me down tonight
Remember me not for who was
But who it was that I wanted to be
When you bury me tonight
Mark my grave not who I was
But mark it the person I was supposed to be
Pull me down
Wrap me tight
Feeling cold and dressed in white
I already knew how this would end
For my deeds
I’ll burn in hell
But forever off my name they’ll sell
Blessed is the person who died for you
I don’t know
But I’ve been told
The devil’s laughter multiplies
Whenever someone new falls his way
One two three four
Five more steps and I’ll be gone
This was always how I was meant to go

Hey cult kids
I saw your sigil in the dark
across the parking lot from where I work
I thought I’d stop on by
And see how things were going
In this ancient church you call a home
Hey cult kids
With your arms full of bottles of wine
And candlesticks to use tonight
The ritual should work
As long as you know the words
But I promise the end results aren’t that exciting
Hey cult kids
You know I’ve seen it all before
You know I was a cult kid too
But everyone grows up
And friends all move away
But I still remember all the things we did
(On the first day I had prayed
On the second day I had lied
On the third day I had slept
On the fourth day I had died)

The final rays of the final day
Will lead to the moon on the final night
But we have each other, so let’s pretend
That we’re still together
A summer night
A light gone out
The stars will watch us
A final time
A spark created
With nothing left
To catch on fire
I’ll hold your hand and you’ll hold mine
We’ll dance around like we were young
When stars and skies would never fade
And we we were so happy

3 am again
I’m wearing out my life
Staying up with you
To watch you fall asleep
In my life, I knew
The ending of my youth
But with you, I feel
That things can be okay
I can’t read your mind
But I know what you would say
If you read my mind
You’d know how much I care
Just two animals lost in fate
And tangled up as one
Two sets of eyes and mouths
That push each other closed
The world shakes and moves around
But I will keep us safe
But by the time that l move on from you
You know we get what we deserve
This place we know so well
Isn’t ours
When I take you there
They’ll change it all around
All the paths are new
But we still know the way
It’s a feeling that you get
That leads you back to home

When I say goodbye to you tonight
I want you to know I mean it
I hope you don’t take this personally
You know one of us had to go
And then its
One
Two
Three steps into the night and
One
Two
Three steps out of the light and
One
Two
Three steps into the ring and
One more prayer to the patron saint of switchblade fights
And when I take a step towards you
And you charge at me with all your might
We’ll finally see who has the quicker hand
And which of us has more to lose

Dead Message Center
02:36
|
|||
Lucy - guitar, keys, drums, vocals
The sun came up
And I was all alone
My body’s here
But I can’t make it move
This radio
Takes in calls just fine
But I can’t make
A single one go out
Dead message center
calling out
can anybody hear me
Or am I gone
The lines are down
No angels in my sky
I walk through snow
And leave a trail behind
My blood still flows
But slower than before
My heart still beats
But I don’t know what for

Alex - ambient guitar
There’s something comforting about routine
The mundane drawls of daily life I miss
To watch the spotlights streaming past the windows
It’s all I want, it’s all I need right now
I thought I saw god in the headlights going past me
The flying traffic
The highway stars
I want to take part in the motorists adventures
Going places
I’ll never see
I’ll always be stuck wandering this empty strip
Kicking cans and rocks into these grates
But if you close your eyes and keep your breathing still
You might still hear the whispers of human life
I thought I saw god in the siren lights that passed me
The red and white ones
The blue ones too
I want to be part of the traffic wars with the rest of them
Wherever they’re going
I want to go
