when we killed the afternoons a wasting yellow haze on everything and when we lost it in the woods and sticks broke little bones and words were thrown and names could hurt you just off Alder Way somewhere in the hills past a field of cars rotting slowly while we move away running to keep yesterday from spilling into the peace of home when we hid our whisperings under windows in the spring on raining days and when the neighborhood was everything the ramblers in a ring that kept us all from slowly freezing just off Alder Way... let pale light lead you home

Ada I'd carry the one for you engine of all the difference the countess of computation we all belong to you Julia I'd carry the knives for you early fog on the avenue the stone and salt keeps the kitchen hot we all come home to you wait for the sun to fill the room when the days fall away from you wait by the window seat for a sign from me O, Julia... Agatha I'd jump in a Pond for you deep enough for a dive or two I'm swallowed up by the stars above see how they run to you wait for the sun to fill the room... Ada I'd carry the one for you...

bitter pill just swallowed us maybe should have left the phone to ring took it hard and stumbled out battered by a sheet of summer rain o, when you left we were both too young long low days without you blue wind throwing all the leaves around dead wind breaks us in two on a road to stranger things echoes ring but I can't hear at all couldn't see what it would mean in that moment holding you to me o, when you left we were both too young... bury the day deeper underground marry the wave two walls beaten down spirit away all faith on the floor barely a sound metal freight to Silver Springs all the weight that crushed you fell away left your old shirt on the floor you took the hard way to a better place o, when you left we were both too young... bury the day deeper underground...

staring at the blind keeping time by the side of the highway wonder if they know that the speaker's blown wonder if they're worried about our isolation staring at the wires hanging white at the side of a hero I don't want to know what her powers be I don't want to look at the dark side of my ego bloom and blow away... barely making time as we ride at the back of a Metro staring at the world from a window seat thinking of a way to keep us from disappearing bloom and blow away...

"don't let Esther in!" came a scream from down below the old kitchen witch we'd thrown away came back home "no, Esther wait! it was all a big mistake!" but the old kitchen witch was haunted badly sewn-on head shark-dead eyes, tattered cape the old kitchen witch orchestrates a great escape down in the bin their nightmare begins the kitchen witch was left unwanted Esther needs a piece of you to do the things she needs to do dark and rainy night shots ring out someone cries "Esther's getting in!" and no one makes it out alive cause the kitchen witch got what she wanted...

Dead Smile 03:00
maybe it's now we burn it all down maybe the winter's winning so strange to see a dead smile on someone still breathing o, wait, everything's not o.k. wide awake on a bad day it could be worse knock me down spit in my hair looks like more bad weather so strange to see you there in the blood, the horror o, wait, everything's not o.k. wide awake on a bad day could it be worse? do you want to crawl away? I do maybe we cry to keep it all down keep it from boiling over the tears of a desperate town broken by an old world order oh, wait, everything's not o.k. wide awake on a bad day it's going to get worse feels like a cold snap keeping all our heads back open up let the rain fall fill it all in do you want to crawl away? I do...

Thieves 02:51
and I'm down in this hole surrounded by thieves they go way back ten years at least they got nowhere to go no out but up a piece of the moon lighting this room we just need to breathe out the ceiling is caving in thieves for the win we're all wasted and wasting away flying too high to steer this thing the thieves are pulling at kicking feet a piece of the moon filling this room we all need to breathe out the ceiling is caving in we just need to breathe out and then rise up and take back the room and make 'em all bleed out the feeling is creeping in it's thieves for the win

Zeroed Out 02:54
if I had a way to keep us all in the dark if I had a way to keep from screaming if I had the rage to keep on facing the world but I don't I've lost the way I'm zeroed out... If a funny face could make it all disappear we'd erase the pain of a world unmended and if a sudden grace descended over us all then I'll know I've lost the way I'm zeroed out I'm running spent I'm haunted So sad to see it all slipping away but the world keeps spinning wait to change the view but it's o.k and everyone's looking around for no good reason just to change the view and I'd hate to follow you... if I had a way to keep us all in the dark if I had a way to keep from screaming... So sad to see it all slipping away...
