LYRICS:
“We are Prisoners of Love, and our music is so good, it should be illegal!”
Lungs keep on breathing
Wheezing
They'll surely rust
Heart keeps on squeezing
Heating
It's moving dust
Scorching my mind
Burning fuel and time
Yeah
My body's bleeding
Fleeting
I'm leaking oil
I've got no feelings
Peeling
Off cinder skin
Scorching my mind
Burning fuel and time
Yeah
Don't need no sustenance
Don't need no sleep
Pulling my marrow out
Collapse in a heap
Thinking is edible
Minds can't be free
We're insects at the core
Dirt, bone, and meat
Dragging myself along
Torso on the coals
Searing my skeleton
Fire eats me whole
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Lullaby Lapine
03:48
|
|||
LYRICS:
Rabbits in the night, their eyes go white
Lullaby Lapine, Lullaby Lapine
Foxes picking out the wounded’s whine
Lullaby Lapine, Lullaby Lapine
Soon your brothers will fight you for does
Lullaby Lapine, Lullaby Lapine
Hope we don’t starve under sheets of snow
Just follow your wits wherever you go
Wow! Wow! Wow!
Yeah, yeah, yeah, hoo!
For blindness and wounds all I can do is sing a
Lullaby Lapine Lullaby Lapine
For foxes and raptors, the natural disasters a
Lullaby Lapine, Lullaby Lapine
For fighting over those fresh spring does, oh a
Lullaby Lapine, Lullaby Lapine
For hoping we don’t starve under sheets of snow
Just follow your wits wherever you go
Wow! Wow! Wow!
Yeah, yeah, yeah, hoo!
Your mother is here
For now you are safe
For now
For now
For we’re deep in the burrow underground
Hoping it doesn’t collapse all around
And maybe there ain’t much that goes bump in the night
But we got plenty left over to give us a fright
And so I sing this Lapine Lullaby,
This Lapine Lullaby
Oh, Lul-Lul-a-by
Lullaby Lapine

Copperhead

LYRICS:
Lies start to cast
Bluebonnets fly past
Floods cover blindly
Days are not meant to last
Heated times
Dulcet laced with crime
Hateful with honesty
Harking back to the prime
Unfold beyond me
What could I have done?
Spirits are haunting me
My own past, for one
Trees burn down
Embers coat the crown
Innocent and brotherly
Silent with a frown
Unfold beyond me
What could I have done?
Spirits are haunting me
My own past, for one

LYRICS:
Waking up, empty room
Total darkness, it consumes
Suddenly, a flash of light
The furthest wall springs up to life
It’s a screen, on it I see surveillance of a room.
In that room are all the people who are important to me
It dawns quickly. My stomach sinks. This will be their tomb.
Can’t stop the flames from burning high
Can’t help no matter what I try
I get to see my loved ones die from the safety of my mind.
Safety of my mind.
My stomach’s sunk so low.
Communication's been lost long ago.
I felt everything, now there's nothing left.
Don't care anymore.
Nothing I can do can change their fate now.
Think I'm going numb
God, oh God.
They're all gonna die.
The people in the room can’t be distinguished.
It’s all just flames and embers. It's all gone.
Can’t stop the flames from burning high
Can’t help no matter what I try
I get to see my loved ones die
From the safety of my mind.
From the safety of my mind.
Safety of my mind.

Matador
04:31
|
|||
LYRICS:
I’ll have to wait til’ the matador comes down
My stomach’s sinking
I must play to the crowd in the stadium
Future is charging now
I prepare my flag and
Hope to see another day to fight for my life again
Someone do something about it!
Let me out of the ring!
Let me collapse with nothing to do
Live my life with nothing to prove
It's not ideal, but what is?
I’d rather not live on the cusp of fight and flight, day and night
For the rest of my life
So here he comes, this matador with his sword
As my stomach’s sunken
Filling me with fear and hope and doubt, soon there will be time to lie down
Soon this bull will meet its end
Though I could not hope to do it
With my hands, barely strong enough to keep the cloth from slippin’
Someone do something about it!
Let me out of the ring!
Let me collapse with nothing to do
Live life with nothing to prove
It's not ideal, but what is?
I’d rather not live on the cusp of fight and flight, day and night
For the rest of my life
Doubt rains, pooling in my head
A slip here is the end
Keep my feelings gray so not to think about it
My red flag waves
The matador is coming soon and it will be the end for you
So entranced by the dance we are
Til’ we see the gored and trampled from before
Life intends to make an example
And she must prepare his sword
Yeah, he must prepare his sword
He must prepare his sword
Oh, he must prepare his sword
His sword
Oh, he, oh, he
Oh, he, oh, he (AAAAHHHHH)
Yeah, must prepare his sword
Oh, he must prepare his sword
His sword
Oh, he, oh, he
Oh, he, oh, he
Oh, he, oh, he

LYRICS:
Look like a bird got caught in the engine
The plane is going down
The plane is going down
Nowhere to go, we’ll crash in the ocean
Say your goodbyes now
Say your goodbyes now
I should’ve expected to give this more attention
Instead I directed to give into deflection
And now we’re going down
Put your mask on before you put on mine
Yeah, it’s mayday, we’re going down
Put your mask on before you put on mine
Get your life together, I’ll get on with mine
I should’ve expected to give this more attention
Instead I directed to give into deflection
It’s mayday, we’re going down
Put your mask on before you put on mine
Put your mask on before you put on mine
Mm-mm
Put your mask on before you put on mine
Get your life together, I’ll get on with mine
I should’ve expected to give this more attention
Instead I directed to give into deflection
Ooh

Summer Song

LYRICS:
I could carve it into stone
But not make it my own
The form of the memory banks on this river of thought
When long ago hits me in the present
I can never hold on to it
Can never hold on
C’mon, push through it, move on
Cut to the good part and live
To the good part and live
Never good enough, never good enough
Only getting worse with every passing day so bland
Addiction, oh addiction
Strip away my muscle memory till I can’t raise my hands
Oh, am I a coward for not being able to pick up my own gauntlet?
Always told myself I liked a challenge
C’mon, push through it, move on
Cut to the good part and live
To the good part and live
Oh, ooh
Friends, do you remember me?
Think of me? Cherish me?
And when another day is through,
Will I still remember you?
Friends, do you remember me?
Think of me, Cherish me?
And when another day is through,
Will I still remember you?
Carve it into stone
Carve it into stone
Carve it into stone
Carve it into stone
Carve it into stone
Carve it into stone
Carve it into stone
Carve it into stone
Carve it into stone
Carve it into stone
Carve it into stone
Carve it into stone
Friends, do you remember me?
Think of me? Cherish me?
And when another day is through,
Will I still remember you?
Friends, do you remember me?
Think of me? Cherish me?
And when another day is through,
Will I still remember you?
Oh, friends, do you remember me?
Think of me? Cherish me?
And when another is through,
Will I still remember?
Friends, do you remember me?
Think of me? Cherish me?
And when another day is through,
Will I still remember you?
Carve it into stone
Carve it into stone
Carve it into stone
Carve it into stone

LYRICS:
Perched at the nest
Readying my wings
Stood at the edge
Catching the breeze
Bend at the knees
Look to the skies
Give into fate
Launch into flight
Barrel after barrel, water pushes up against the board
Coasting me on forward, rushing feeling, reeling, being floored
Bikini babes avoiding all the shrugging shores and shrouded sharks
Doggie in the water yelling “bark bark bark bark bark bark bark bark”
Satan watching on as all the surfers race across the beach
If he wants to join us, he can come on in, we’re down to teach!
I’m yelling “WEEEEEEEEE!”
Face hit with the wind
Water underneath
Blue skies above
I’m going higher
Falling in love
Playing with fire
This punity comes finally
Sullen disgrace for just a taste
Pounding away, parts disarray
Robotic shift, quick motors lift
This punity (Broken feathers, melting wax)
Comes finally (Flailing arms and useless flaps)
Sullen disgrace (This vessel is crashing down)
For just a taste (Good thing that I cannot drown)
Pounding away (Perched at the matronly nest)
Parts disarray (Readying my shattered wings)
Robotic shift (Standing at the edge of lust)
Quick motors lift (Catching the breeze for my mom)

Sad Song
04:24
|
|||
LYRICS:
The best person I ever met
In my pool of stinging sweat
Splintering inside my guts
Always trapped inside my ruts
Wish I was inside your head
Together we would wind up dead
Slice my neck, drag me away
You can’t let me escape
I’m a sucker for your bite
Rope all tied in organs tight
Our souls so closely felt
Sewing together the pelts
Together the pelts
Wish you’d trap me in your vines
Then I’d never have to hide
Hurts so much to look at you
Over plains of grass we flew
Arrest my logical device
Burrow in the brain like lice
You are all that you could be
Wish you could take over me
I’m a sucker for your bite
Rope all tied in organs tight
Our souls so closely felt
Sewing together the pelts
Together the pelts
Let me crawl into your life
Into your life
Let me crawl into your life
Into your life
Let me crawl into your life
Into your life
I’m a sucker for your bite
Rope all tied in organs tight
Our souls so closely felt
Sewing together the pelts
Together the pelts
For your bite, ooh
For your bite
For your bite
For your bite

Happy Song

LYRICS:
“We are Prisoners of Love”
“This is, like, the tenth track on the album”
“Just go, just go”
I’m so happy today
Cause I took over the world
And now nobody else can
It was a very easy task
To sever my appestat
Oh, now I took over the world
I took over the world
Took me a minute to get to the top of the world
Only took me a minute to get to the top of the world
Only took me a minute to get to the top of the world

Hills and Valleys

LYRICS:
I’m teetering between a peak and an all-time low
One minute, I’m ecstatic, then I’m pushed back half a year ago
Everyday, I strive to work on my sense of balance
Then the phone is scary and I’m feeling fantastic
I don’t know why I’m always crying
I don’t know why I’m always smiling
Guess it’s just the way I am
This is my new normal
Guess it’s just the way I am
And I can’t undo it now
I’ve a rose-colored eye and the other’s dark and gray
I can only have one of two types of days
Either everything is perfect, couldn’t get more out of life
Or I’m filled with so much dread that I feel like I’m gonna die
I don’t know why I’m always crying
I don’t know why I’m always smiling
Guess it’s just the way I am
This is my new normal
Guess it’s just the way I am
And I can’t undo it now
I don’t know why I’m always crying
I don’t know why I’m always smiling
Guess it’s just the way that I am
This is my new normal
Guess it’s just the way I am
And I can’t undo it now

God's Betrayal
06:53
|
|||
LYRICS:
Another soul departed for the clouds
If only the one above could see me now
If only he was still righteous in his throne
While I send the purest flock back home
Christened in blood as I am, the work must be done
You’re an archangel riding right on my heels
Too blind to see the man upstairs is off his rocker
You won’t prevail, I’ll see the lambs out of damnation
So get lost, you overpaid stalker
You’re on my trail, you’re god’s betrayal
I’ll make you quiver and quail
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah
Just what I needed, another loon turned on to sacred killing
What a funny way to love thy neighbor through lobotomy
With all the overtime went my late-night weekend drinking
So what, we got ourselves a pious neurologist?
What a funny point of view
Quite the motive, quite the curious twist too
Time to catch this round-the-bend killer with the M.D.
We got the place surrounded, cops are swaying like a sea
Every shadow’s moving through this old abandoned shack
He’s here, in the dust and stripped paint, better watch my back
He’s a slimy snail, beyond the pale, and sharp as nails
Long ago, I freed this old veteran cop
His brain was overflowing with rot
I did all that I could, but there was nothing to be done
Said a prayer as I pulled the plug
You think that I’m unjust?
I knew my bible back and forth
But now, all the prayers seem in vain
On the floor, a hole in my stomach
But I can still win
I’ll show you pain
I’ll pick your brain
