"and god said, 'let the water under the heavens be gathered together, unto one place, and let the dry land appear.' and it was so." the end of days is coming soon we know less about the ocean than we do about the moon and the moon pulls the tide and the tide builds the waves and the waves drown the people that jesus saves and the fish eat the bodies that drop from the sky and they say life is beautiful and i don't care why

"you know what it was that really made me fall in love with julie was, i mean, ya, she's incredibly gorgeous and sexy, it was those damned emails. it's the brain, man. once you get in someone's brain, and you fall in love with that, your toast. i mean, i was, that was it. but, i think it would be great, to see if you remember..." "my ass" "HAHAHA" you’re an uppercase dreamer and a lowercase schemer, we hope you get it all ed, tin starman, you’ve gone too far man, come back inside our wall janitor extraordinare, or maybe you’ll cut hair, dream big, live small ref high school football, security at the mall, you won’t live to next fall flowers of skin cracked bone stems, razor thin underneath the frost, they all turn blue floating like christ hurt feelings, black eye iced sit around and watch the stars poke through hanging out on clouds with you with you "ya, and it was the exact same, so what i said to him was..."

funeral 02:08
it was a lovely day for a funeral the sun was crashing through the trees the river is deep and chilly a plastic trash bag on dead leaves he was a good boy, but now he’s gone whoa oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh (oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh) it turned out to be a good funeral the flowers were a nice touch the river is deep and chilly, i bet i won’t even miss him that much he was a good boy, but now he’s gone he was all i had, and now he’s gone whoa oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh (oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh)

cold 02:46
this sixteen chapel's coming down seasons are changing in the world above my head i’m still alone, but i’m not suffering alone anymore i’m warming up to my coal bed and I will never be cold again somebody’s tongue, forked and dancing in my ear somebody’s hand holding mine it’s not like I’m beautiful it’s not like anyone else is, and that’s just fine and I will never be cold again

crying jags 04:26
genuine plastic trees keeping starlight form hitting your hair and crying jags in your overstuffed room when you realize there's no one there subway trips beyond the edge of town when you want something to brag about but you always come back home cause you're too scared to get out saturn, return, please block the sun, block out the burn saturn, return, and in your shade i'll try to learn saturn, return, i don't mean to cause concern cause i need you hanging there keep my eyes pointed at the air and off of the ground planned woods, planned parenthood, planned everything you'll ever see smiles a mile wide, we cut each other down underneath this chestnut tree europe in the summertime, do you hear the equator's call? or is it england, or the beach or mexico, australia, or montreal?

asleep 03:17
she’s taken magic marker to her hair again it was white this morning, now its black, but her hands are red it’s just nail polish, is what she said she’s taken razor blades to her hair again it was long this morning, now its gone, but her wrists are red i just want to sleep, is what she said walls fall down for the long night, and ashes rejoicing i can never get over you on a hillside, standing roadside, I guess i tried on a hillside, standing roadside, watching cars slide

natali 03:12
natali, together, we can share the blame, we can share the shame natali, together, we can play the game, use other peoples names and escape the evil shadows we cast on the ground leave our bodies where they won’t be found leave our bodies and take a walk around leave our bodies natali, together, we can leave the hurt, armor made of dirt natali, together, we’ll lie in flanders field, all the earth a shield escape the evil shadows we cast on the ground leave our bodies were they won’t ever be found leave your shame behind and take a walk around leave our bodies natali, together, we can hang around, i'll hang you upside down, and we'll hang out on clouds "our works in stone, in paint, in print, are spared, some of them, for a few decades or a millennium or two, but everything must finally fall in war...our songs will all be silenced, but what of it? go on singing. maybe a man's name doesn't matter all that much.”

"i think flowers are very beautiful things, very nice and innocent things." i’m on the train, I’m going to see you i’ve cleaned and bandaged where the rain and the blood soaked through i’ve got stems shooting out of my veins blossoms round my wrists in a daisy chains if my heart breaks, just fill it with flowers if my heart breaks, just talk to me for hours i’m on the train, riding oceans of lightning i can feel the wind slow, the old brakes are tightening my roots planted in fast melting snow it melts a little quicker every time you say hello if you heart breaks, ill hold it together if your heart breaks, ill hold the pieces forever

i hit you last week where you asked me too every punch, convinced we'd gone insane i saw the marks on your face yesterday i saw the loveliness inside of pain i saw a man die in a movie lovely little roses tried to grow I get hit by some men on my walk home lovely little roses in the snow and all we want is control when all we are is control and all we want is control but all we are is control

"i'll admit that i have not always understood the religious and spiritual customs of the jews; it's hard for me to relate..." tears cut his face and mix with blood the mountain falls into the flood the man and the bottle begin to crack brings the rust belt down on his sons back they know the devil knows who they are cause hell is the shed in their backyard he knows the devil knows his name cause the devil always says there’s only him to blame these hands are clean, i am innocent the earth is burned and clean and new black as the night we return to house fires keep the dark away for now but you can’t grow food if all you do is plough look at that flag burning in the breeze rising above the plastic trees i know the devil he knows my name cause i hunted the lamb like some stupid game these hands are clean, i am innocent

i think this time last year i still believed in god didn't think it was so odd so now i really need this crutch and i've dreamt about it too heavenly bodies and you showing me where and what to touch and you were dancing behind glass barriers i couldn't pass but lord knows i could feel then you said i could go free and it was heavenly and it couldn't be less real so how am i gonna trust you if i can't trust my own mouth when it gets away from me and how will i ignore these messages from way down south what on earth has happened to me and it was warm and safe and good it was like everything should be and then it shattered on the crack of dawn god and i are having a divorce we tried to make things work, of course, but now he'll just have to move on "if there is a god, then that dude is an asshole, which i know is not a popular belief, but i do think he's an asshole..." so how am i gonna trust you if i can't trust my own tongue when it gets away from me and how will i ignore these messages from when i was young what on earth has happened to me "and abraham says 'why?' 'well, cause you don't love me, if you don't do it!'"
