Flotsam & Jetsam

Flotsam & jetsam arrive on the shore
There were visible marks of a horrible storm
well it tears, yes it tears the sky from the sea
and the horizon becomes an electrical storm
We're crowding out their homes
for many years to come
with each one sacrificed
we took four more just for show
Ladies & gentlemen I think we've arrived
in that place in the corner you wanted to hide
with each nudge of the shoulder, each wink of the eye
comes a perfect incision between sea and sky
We're crowding out their homes
for many years to come
with each one left behind
we took six more just for show
Ladies & gentlemen I invite you to stay
in this alcove we've found
unless you'de be slaine
so it comes and we're restless, we're here for the show
but why settle for less when there's so much more
We're carving out our homes
where each one left their mark
for many years to come
it mirrors what it's become

Dressed Wounds

With your mouth out loud
it might get lost
You wrap your legs around my head
and you dress your wounds before your bed
And you put breath
into my mouth
While the forced smoke
rings out loud
I get so tangled in your web
and you dress your wounds before your bed
You know how to bleed a stone
and I know you were raised by wolves
and the city is wild and the country is still
but I don't get what you're advertising
In my Windstar
riding along
I question
question the goal
You spill the ocean on your bed
you dress your wounds until you're dead
You know how to bleed a stone
and I know you were raised by wolves
and the city is mild and the country is still
but I don't get what you're advertising

Onward & Awkward

Well the Gruel girls always eat with spoons
they can hardly even taste it
They're fighting over portions
as they tear through their feasts
it's classic
it's fantastic
And all the actions of the Vandals
seeking the Electricians kiss
for a dance below the lightning
feeling every limb just twist
If we were rolling on carpet
If we were pulling down the shades
We'd be really making sense of all the time that waste has laid
while new paper face Alice
eats such delicate eyes
by the light of the moon
right out with a spoon
Well the Gruel girls hardly sleep at all
as they tear through all the vastness
but they compliment a time
when all the streets would have a hint of the drastic
It's reacting
While the Vandals are relentless
their jawbones are strong
pointing comets at all the damned
wrapping thread around
the shrill of the alarm
If we were rolling on carpet
If we were pulling down the shade
we'd be really making sense of all the time that waste has laid
While new paper face Alice
eats such delicate eyes
by the light of the moon
right out with a spoon

Young Rapture

When the change came the city had slept whilel it had
lost it's blood to such sharp youthfull teeth
In the dawnlight the people had awoken to
debrit and gleaming rubies strewn about the street
Here among ferrel animals with prowling eyes
monsters walking down the alleys in the map of my mind
I can say I can see that I'm going blind
in an effort to deny a woken canine spine
built with teeth and eyes
When the smoke cleared the wolves on the throne laughed
and picked their teeth with our hopes and our dreams
in exchange they had built us a world of elastic, plastic, lunatic
notions of peace
Here among ferrel animals with prowling eyes
monsters walking down the alleys in the map of my mind
I can say I can see that I'm going blind
in an effort to deny a woken canine spine
built with teeth and eyes
They're gonna tear out your flesh
They're gonna rip it away
They're gonna tear out your flesh
They're gonna peel it away

Glacial Drumlins

In a sequence of events
justice claws its way beneath the carpet's edge
while they're rolled in rugs
Set in rows along gallows
and wrapped in rags for quick escape
they hide themselves in pianos
and it calms them all
while looking out
for the hurricane
Well hell is green as gold
they poured it all onto the floor
and drained it out
a sea of fire
that calms them all
and the carpet sparks
engulfed in flames
And it drifts apart
in mid-air flight
towards the hurricane
