They shoot from the heartstrings I shoot with my head I think I’m thinking better Than they’ve ever bled Cause I can taper paper But they want fake opaque Headsick chasing vapors There’s too much at stake And if they just skim through it Why bother to anoint? You can’t run or fuck to it So where’s the point? Got to get them rhythm Got to fit just right I refuse their dictum The victims are me Their blood is mine They can’t see Blind so they bend you I’m deaf, I’ll defend you Defenestrate you They can’t see Blind so they bend you I’m deaf, I’ll defend you Defenestrate you

She’s show me the shindig He’s show me the blood She thinks I’m autistic You’re not hurt enough And it’s a modern marvel Come on! Come one! Come all! Tragic and carnal Come eat your heart out See her fake fresh lip lift His bionic arm Science tricks can’t fix this And here comes the harm And here come the hammer Don’t run! Don’t cry! Don’t lie! There goes the glamour Get a pen and stammer There’s where it starts There’s where it wounds You throw words like darts Chase us like kids ‘round the room Aim low Nice throw Money, looks, calls and hearths We owe, we owe, we owe, we owe, we owe Habits, hates, hopes and hearts We know, we know, we know, we know Here’s where it stops Here’s where we go Our hearts are clocks Tick, tock, talk, ta ta, explode You stay We go We owe interest, we owe skin Owe existence and clean dishes We owe children and mowed lawns We owe and we are overdrawn Collect the debt with threats, then press Yourself into our hearts and heads Now I’m too scared to break my hands But that’s where they hid their habits And they put poison in my mouth I tried but I can’t spit it out Their hope, their hate, my heart, my head Thank god a bomb is in my chest

Small Bell 04:08
Relatives sailing ship like lost dogs I search. I need More dirt, more earth, more logs All these spades, flames, graves don’t know us I’m sure we’re losing names Words turned dust I know, I know So I wait here for so long There’s news they say news is on the way My head's ringing now I know this sound and I’m flying back to it Recognize the pealing Small bell Sees me I swear I’ll say you’re still sleeping You see My voice Oh my Small bell Listen While I have your attention now Ring and I’ll run run, run, run

Riku 04:23
Something strange here is going on Dangling from this new phenomenon People disappearing, memories interfering I've been waking up with injuries Markings from forgotten victories Hear them talking about me, planning something Am I one of them? I don't wanna have the liability oh no Sacrifice my soul for upward mobility oh no Never thought I would be the one Spilling blood down on the floor Calculating every move I make Never though that I would start a war I don't wanna have the liability oh no Sacrifice my soul for upward mobility oh no Little red crystals in my hands White faced now his eyes expand Feeling broken as he turns to sand
