pins stuck in your feet stuck in your hands stuck in your eyes thin can't quite feel them can't quite give in can't quite get out sin propagating an infection sprung from my hand love when you're in lust isn't it great isn't it grand step into an empty hand pull the fingers tight walk the lines inhale an empty space let it be your light fill your mind
2.
The Hungry 03:56
warm wool scratches my cheek frost curls around it easier not to speak knees tucked into your chest you'll be fine move on after a short rest follow the line remember how my hands felt when they felt sweat in the small of my back knees tucked into your chest you'll be fine move on after a short rest follow the line
3.
how delightful she said it'll be one day to stab you in your piggy little heart I'll cut you down and kick you aside I'll cut you down she said as she cried and put down her pen and packed up her bags don't know where she went
4.
What Choice 03:27
and now I'll try it's time I'll lay down where there's wreckage wherever I turn my friends were all taken and still I don't learn my house was on fire and I let it burn once more with feeling I'll roar like a mouse in a corner when push comes to shove I quake and expire with fear for my love I can't beat the dust that shakes down from above
5.
Heteronox 05:37
feel it in your ribs see them flex/bend and bend/flex all the weight your bear in your chest
6.
peace falls down on the ground in a heap your teeth bared and white clenched so tight you can't breathe and I just stand my hands at my sides my ears full of my own true love's cries in my defence all our friends turned away our families one their knees but the stay where they are so far from your side despite their loss they can't cross the divide
7.
11k km 05:03
take the song of wisdom that means the most put it in your pocket keep it close bend the corners wear the folds write it over when it's old later when you wonder where you've gone take it out and read it sing along kiss the paper dry your tears hold it while your dawning nears
8.
Dead Leaves 05:02
many layers deep is your cold sleep blown no more your mind now the ground you keep when you let go in the cold air how did it feel as you looked down or as you turned up to the sky did you regret the oncoming sound will what you know be known next year? try as you might can't stop the turn what of your friends those you hold dear? all of your friends rot or get burned winter will come winter will come hide from the snows strip bare the trees winter will come winter will come winter will come winter will come hide from the snows strip bare the trees winter will come winter will come
9.
clouds piled up 14 high and pregnant with rain I wish that I had tried to spare you this pain the beards of a whole village clogging my drain go to the very beginning and come back again the bathtub's full of wine in midst of a drought I wish I'd shown you what I was talking about the shoes of tiny children littered about if you'd had my help you'd have figured it out if you carry only grenades and elephant guns if you command them to freeze and expect them to run if you burn the finish line before they've begun then come the sunrise you'll be the only one
10.
all my life has been inside windows on your sides give me a give me a give me a give me away let me be let me be let me be let me believe I can be I can be I can be I can behave
