Took winter's place when it never came
Frozen water, lost to sky
Living the life
feeling sort of triumphant about it
You could be like Nero
You Could Be Like Nero
Couldn't you tell that I wasn't around, I was somewhere else,
will I always be somewhere else?
Everything was good, yeah it is yeah it wasn't, the best nor the worst
I guess I won't ever leave this room
Trumpets blow, triumphantly
Oh frailty
Oh could I be like you
locked in hardened earth
cold and scorched
Manic and untamed
Spores left eroding

Spore

Constant and contained
you were the best dressed
sweat and spit and shine
Dancing, decaying
you were the fiercest
enemy of mine
And I wasn't there when you told me how it felt, I was somewhere else
and I'll always be somewhere else
Left in the woods with the beasts and the burden,
the trees and the turbulent seasons
I won't leave this room
Quietly waiting
with the beleaguered and weird
as you were saying
there's no disease living here
But couldn't you tell that I wasn't myself, I was someone else
will I always be someone else?
Everything was good til it turned out it wasn't, the pit in my stomach
reliving the worst of it all
Dancing, decaying
Spores left unfolding
Dancing, d caying

Boar

Under bedsheets
where we trade our
conversations
for a fast touch
moving boulders
from the cave maw
resurrection
on the way out
I thought We'd Break This Town by now
I figured we'd run out of bodies
to fuel this alien
weak obligation
and show up elated
and feigning affection
But I'll never fake it
I know 'cause I tried
well out here the sunlight
really shines like it means it
not for beauty or romance but practical brightness
I know nothing better
I'm here for the weather
I'm here for the cash and the lake
and the contact
I'm here for the crash and the kick
and the hi hat
the screams and the screaming
the fucks and the fucks and the
faux-pleasant evenings, the barenaked ceilings
the transient, terrible moods we've been feeling
the consummate teasing, the baggage, the bleeding
the beaten and beatings, the beats and the beats and the
bodies we reclaim
over and over again
I want to have the smoothest skin
feel pretty like a mannequin
shed my clothes and hair and skin
I'll never be a man again

Lavender

Here in the lavender glow
Of a thousand indoor billboards and overfed souls
I was waiting for a call from the end of the world
I was waiting by the station, empowered, alone
I was waiting for the systems to stop gutting us
always smiling
Here on the cusp of darkness, forever trying
dressed as the belle of the ball (you were always trying)
yes, must be dead all along (you were always trying)
Here in the afternoon glow
of a thousand miles distances away from home
I was waiting for a call from a friend maybe more
I was waiting all alone, redesigned, bought and sold
I was waiting for the windows to stop keeping the rain outside
My skin is dried up, there's no comfort at all
the belle of the ball, sedated and always smiling
neutralizing rhythms I feel nothing at all
Here in the lavender glow
of a thousand indoor billboards and monied out souls
I was waiting for a call from the edge of the world
I was waiting at my station, empowered, alone
I was waiting for the billboards to stop
gutting us, always smiling
fabricating reasons to feel something at all
the belle of the ball was dead all along
bumping like a hurricane, I can't keep my blood from gushing out
When I filled my perscription
with your comfort and progress
we fell into a slumber
feeling much less encumbered
