Cold Chinese 00:44
i look up at the light and my eyes fall out yeah the neighbor kids they like to start fires we'll put em out i stop staring, i'll bury myself in the land if and when it doesn't kill the lights well, i'll be fine burning alive
2.
Lucy 02:08
some sing a warning i'm coming there's a fire thats flooding let's go swimming you better run for your life you'll see my evil if ya stay out tonight tell me a story, something happy love me, love me oh please, love me we go walkin' hand in hand my claws start diggin' in
3.
i found a new place to stay inside the woods the branches and thorns will cut up my arms i'm eating little bugs and berries i'm climbin' up to hear the thicket breathe there's something in the water, a lady swimmin' she's on fire, her skin starts to hiss watching colors flood she's fast asleep, sunburned and murky i guess that i should head home to my family sick as a dog, packed up and ready to leave drink a little blood like the old days wakin' up happy and heavy

Mire 02:22
you lack luminance you are the color black oh what a mess as you fade unto the next woe, wasted, wild stay for a little bit you are a house a house all of your power is out you lack permanence you've come and gone you lack permanence where have you gone
5.
Hurry 01:58
hurry i might get caught in a haze but i think i might have what it takes i'm brimming still with shiver and vomit oh darling why are you so hard to sleep with empty pocket pill popper lonely little motherfucker all alone
6.
hey cocaine mouth i've been livin' in a psychic house with all my dooms-dayin' and getting carried away i ditched the insects all the gold and pomegranate the dark-dark and the ocular dress in the basement there's nothing to it being the pulp waiting for the end to come so give me meaning please share your pulse i'll let it hurt when it gets lost hey old snake shed your skin across the page i can't think of anything as you slither away your pupils draw close to mine i'm steppin' in a puddle of muddy eyes and stay curled up under the ink until it dries
7.
Never Was 02:58
you can't color over the rust but you still try to cover up get in the car and then we can discuss what could have been and what never was such a malicious critique sends us crashing into a tree well i guess now i can finally see how i seem like i might be crazy vultures preyed and i heard what they said "we'll swallow them both, once we're hungry again" but we'll kick them out of their nest with the smoke that floats from the engine we'll think of branches cindered as we avoid these splinters that lay amongst the glass and the leaves you lean to me and you whisper "i'm afraid that i might live forever" such a little thing, what's left of light you're such a little thing
8.
Nausea 02:50
scribbled lines on a bit of paper i held in my hands and then i slowly read aloud to no one but myself "sometimes we speak in different languages" we're better off poorly painted portraits leading way to the train station you come crawling down concrete and i'll be waiting we're heading home and i might be thinking of red lights that'll slow us down
9.
Miners 01:11
dirt on my face i've been trapped down here for days in the coal mine, all the while you mentioned your heavy heart's become demented and my broken handed compliments meant nothing well i'll try to put it kindly so i'm not left behind babe, you can't hear the miners in my chest as it's caving in, i remember the way i lost my breath
10.
Keep Company 02:36
her lip was splintered her speech was wild as it ran "you're so young and my life's so fucked that you wouldn't understand" everyone looks so nice i followed smoke through the window black was scribbled on your cloth a worried face as i float out to space but houston never calls everyone looks so nice and as expected she starts to leave i guess a man just has to do what he can to keep company everyone looks so nice
