Doctrine
03:55

We are of one mind
Two of the same kind
We are kindred souls
I can see it in your face
Hear it in your veins
Your name is written in the rolls
Trust me
We're going places
Let me be your friend
Show you all the ropes
The finer points of doctrine we follow
I know all the tricks
The closet skeletons
Let me show you where we keep the gallows
Trust me
We're going places
We have some forms to fill
Before we make this legal
Have to keep things on the up and up
With the right kind of people
Make sure your hands stay clean
Try to remember we keep
Our books in the black
Stay close to me
When handled correctly
Their loss can be
Our profit

Bay of Fundy

Say you met an angel
Harp in hand
Obedient and strong
Miming his agreement
Because after all
The word is law
Say you chanced on the devil
Out for a stroll in his Sunday best
Wasting no words on speculation
Brokering deals for your soul to contest
Worthless words again
Washing up on this stony shore
Sing whatever praises
Seem best to you
They will not hear
Arguments and phrases
Dispossessed
Falling on deaf ears
This cancerous wrack
Deaf but not mute
Swallows your voice
Lost on the waves
Doubt
Fades out
As the echoes die
Worthless words again
Washing up on this stony shore

Revivification

Broken
Bones and scattered embers
Help me
Collect and reassemble
Set my bones
Sew my tendons
I was torn to pieces
Blood drained
Heartbeat silenced
I left myself behind to
Waste away
As the mist obscures my body
Realize what I've forsaken
Shamble and return before there's
No way back
String my veins
Stitch my skin
Breathing
Life into this wreckage
Returning because
So much was left undone

Breathing Gears
04:04
|

You have that knack
For staying alive
By hook or by crook
Following your neuron inscribed
Chemical imperatives
You and I are components
Spontaneously enmeshed
A breathing, birthing, killing machine
You and I are gears of flesh
Find your interface
Lock your teeth
Hurl forth another component
As far as you can reach
We are not the last ones
To challenge entropy
We will replaced when we
Exit the fray
We remake, perpetuate, and maintain
This survival machine
Watch with your surgical eyes
Everything that breathes also dies
Remember you are a movable feast
Racing before the jaws of the beast
You and I are components
Spontaneously enmeshed
A breathing, birthing, killing machine
You and I are gears of flesh
Find your interface
Lock your teeth
Hurl forth another component
As far as you can reach

Scavenger Void
04:09
|

Our volt of vultures and
Oaken ramparts
Atop this forest
Each tree inching apart
Falling, falling
Our line of headlights
Single file
Cold spots of light
Within darker miles
We are spreading further apart
Our caravans are becoming
Blind quests for warmth,
Single odysseys
Falling, falling
Further down and behind and away
Drifting apart in the vastness of space
We cannot see the forest for the trees
But in our telescopes the red queen is on her knees
Run fast, run faster, the road precedes
Collapse, look back, the road recedes
Falling, falling
Further down behind and away
Drifting apart in the vastness of space

She laughed as she raced up the mountain
"Come with me" she said, "Scratch and erase and
Start again"
Erase and start again
I don't have the answers
I am not your cure
These hills will fracture anyhow
She breathed in the cold of the winter
Pulled close and she whispered that we
Never start again
Never start again
I don't have the answers
I am not your cure
These hills will fracture anyhow
And if we don't have a future
Can we at least share an end
Will you watch with me when
It falls
...And it will
When the time has come
To watch the world engulfed and overrun
When the comet falls
Then and only then, my dear, you'll hear
A ringing on your phone
And you and I will watch the end of it all
Breathing shallowly
Atop the highest mountain, we will drink
To all the lives we might have lived
But you and I were never meant to coexist or take our vows,
So I will say goodbye for now
