Spider, spider
When did it all go wrong?
Are you tired of being alone?
Come into my home
You can build your web
Across my bed
And crawl all over me
Be my tiny queen
I still remember when we met
On the silver cemetery steps
You were in a black dress
I must have been a funeral
Your fingers melted through my shirt
And stabbed me but it barely hurt
You were whispering words
I was screaming out nonsense
I used to think there was just me
Scattered out infinitely
But now I know that there's you
There are probably others
Our baby is afraid of light
A child of the living night
He's got your skeptical eyes
And my disorganized cowlicks
Spider, spider
When did it all go wrong?
Are you tired of feeling so old?
Let me be your throne
You can come and rest
Atop my head
Tell me what you see
Be my tiny queen

Hollow Earth

I don't ever want to go
To the tunnels you dug
Underneath the floor
I don't ever want to know
All the other lovers
You ever had before me
Lost on an island in the sky
Where all the ones before me
Found a place to die
We can run, but we can't hide
All the other siblings are
Carving out their eyes to see
All the kings that ever ruled this land
Had broken crowns and their swords in hand
We will fight, we will die today
If we have to
If not, we'll do it anyway
Lost on an island in a pond
Where all the ones before me
Wrote their pagan songs
We can hide, but we can't run
All the other siblings are
Tearing out their tongues to speak

Vibrating
Everything is vibrating
I built a little town in the dirt
Just so I could be its king
Happening
Everything is happening
I broke my father's watch
But I couldn't find the time in its pieces
Just little copper parts
That make a copper whole
This weather is insane
It's shaking from the sky to my face
The walking clouds are starting to take shape
This weather is insane
Marianne
Everything is Marianne
I put an ivory ring on her finger
That I carved from my own bones
Changing fast
Everything is changing so fast
My neighbor shot himself
He brought his wife and child in to watch it
He wore a baseball cap
He always used to wave
This weather is insane
It's shaking from the sky to my face
The walking clouds are starting to take shape
This weather is insane
Blossoming
Everything is blossoming
I buried my old toys in the backyard
They didn't grow a thing
I covered them with dirt
And I watered them with oil
This weather is insane
It's shaking from the sky
Those walking clouds are closer everyday

Blossoming at last
Your skin removed, revealing blood and glass
Show me where it hurts, I can fix you
Wrapping paper nerves, ribbons, and tissue
Phase one is complete, this is the inside
Day's the enemy; we live in the night
This is nothing new; you've always had insight
If nothing else is true, this moment is mine
You're blossoming at last
You've been in bloom since three summers back
Show me where it's bruised, I will drink it
Open wide your tomb, nothing is secret

Show me where you came from
I'll read you what I wrote
I'm so sick of hiding
Behind these awkward clothes
Tell me what they call you
And what you'd rather be called
I won't call you either
I won't speak at all
Tell me what you love most
I'll show you what I hate
Tear off these sheets of linen
And let me see your face
We were born together
We will die the same
I can give you answers
If you give me away
Television houses
Setting books on fire
I memorized the Bible
Just to see you smile
Come to your apartment
We'll hide out from the war
Listen to the bombings
Listen to the storm
Tell me what you're thinking
I'll show you how I feel
Dreams of being murdered
Wishing they were real
We are born forever
We all die the same
Everything is movement
But nothing's going to change
You were me and I was
Everybody else
Someday we'll be Heaven
After we've been Hell

Science Water Pt 1
01:03
|

I'm so tired of living in three dimensions
I'm so tired of all of this time
I want to hear my music the way I wrote it
Before it got compressed inside
I'm sure I could hear it if I found a way to leave
It would wrap my soul in meta-rhythmic melodies

Science Water Pt 2

I keep getting migraines when I go outside
It's worse in the day, but it doesn't go away at night
My friends all say that it's probably in my mind
They don't know me well, but I can tell that they're right
I don't know what I don't know
I don't know anything at all
I'm so tired of living in three dimensions
I'm so tired of all this time
I want to hear my music the way I wrote it
Before it got compressed inside
My friends all say that it's probably in my brain
Of course it is, just like all of this, everything
I don't know what I don't know
I don't know anything at all
Thirty pieces captured Jesus
I just need one thing
Science water from my Father
Please just answer me
I don't know what I don't know
I don't know anything at all

Rat King

Rat King hatched from an egg
Laid by your mother in a hospital bed
Rat King born with no legs
You spent all your life growing out of your head
Snow fell on your fist day of school
The teacher was jealous of the children and you
You cried and said you missed home
So she took you outside and made you sit in the cold
You grew a year at a time
First came your ears then your navy black eyes
Holding onto their necks
You learned how to love the old opposite sex
Statues as tall as new oak trees
Built to make you feel happy
Now they never stop smiling
Rat King deeply in love
with a girl half your age and a delicate tongue
Rat King you kissed her so sweet
And she gave you wine and pumpkins to eat
Rat King cleaning your fur
Licking the blood every time you get hurt
Rat King saying your prayers
Asking the God for what's already there
