Long nails Black teeth Longer trails Of blacker grief

Polyglot 02:41
Your tongue sheds it's skin so easily How can you keep everything in line Can you remember all the nuanced lies? How can reality survive When your tongue twists it's fabric So lightly as you speak Your open mouth annihilates As swiftly as an atom bomb I can't make sense of what you say What pours from your mouth Is it honesty or lies? Is it black or white? Your tongue sheds it's skin so easily How can reality survive When your tongue keeps adding strands To it's web

I've dreamt long of tearing Your throat from your skin But it ain't my place And it ain't my way I won't soil my hands with your blood It steams and reeks and feels like oil Spill it across the floor Let your life be no more But not by my hands I won't soil them You're not worth the effort It would take to choke your throat You're not worth the effort It would take to make you croak All I want is to see you grovel With a noose around your neck What you took is worth so much more Than anything you have What you took is so much more precious Than your life Worthless, you're worthless The noose will find your neck Not by my hands I am the better man Not by my hands I am the better man

Slack Jawed 01:38
I'm doing the best I can to avoid your eyes Cuz I know if you catch mine You'll catch the truth It's not that I don't care It's that I got bored With the day in, day out routine Bored stiff Dull moments Too blank Can't bear it Bored stiff Dull moments Too blank Can't bear it Day in, day out Day in, day out routine

Throw me a hook, throw a bone Throw me a hook, I can't go home You own no one but yourself Don't own a thing but your skin You own no one but yourself Don't own a thing but your thoughts You alone are culpable for your misdeeds and wayward thoughts Learn to ignore the voice that says “I have done no wrong” A child finds a way to shift the blame But I must be Atlas and bear the weight All you own is your heartbeat. Let it beat with love Let the record show The heartbeats of dead men Beating with love Live dead. All heartbeat. Live dead. All heartbeat.

All I have to offer up is coal, set in my crown Dirty and jagged though it be, it's all I have to give Do with this gift what you will This is the best of me I'm free to offer Can you see beyond the tarnished silver? As it mottles the crown I've made for myself With what meager means I could Dirt got in the metal as I forged it I gave my life to the earths bones Digging through the marrow Sifting through waters I wear my crown of coal I wear my crown I was a hard worker Holy man, may I be proud now? Have I done well? Wounded and waiting Death stands at the doorway His hand outstretched Cold grin full of teeth He's waiting for me Death is never lonely And now I'm wounded And now I'm waiting
7.
Give me a reason to listen I will Give me a reason to see And I swear I will You're just a voice alone And I don't care They crawl and slither Here and there They scrape their bellies across the earth I am surrounded by hissing vipers and I'm alone You're such a small voice and I don't care I can't tell you how much I don't care at all I'm alone
