A Poster on the Wall 02:47
lyrics

Everything gets swallowed up whole by the culture Every message made into a poster on the wall Everyone who tells the truth is martyred Every time I try to get up, I fall Watch me comin’ down Diamonds in my eyes Deep beneath the valley of humiliation Hide behind the curtain, try on that disguise The Argentinian felt the maw Of adoring crowds and followers alike While the other didn’t have it much better History romanced him as he countered their strike Watch me comin’ down Diamonds in my eyes Deep beneath the valley of humiliation Hide behind the curtain, try on that disguise Born into an avalanche Come into the light Might as well embrace the old tradition And dance into the dark, into the night

How’d things end this way? Could you be the one? Where did the line go? Worried you were holding a gun One for the number Two for divorce Three individuals All things run their course One for the number Two for divorce Three individuals All things run their course Warblers all night long Powder keg’s a fake Mad idolatry Phoney bombs and stakes One for the number Two for divorce Three individuals All things run their course One for the number Two for divorce Three individuals All things run their course Wine-soaked night of trivialized Exaltations that didn’t sit right You and the moon on a Saturday night Pull Up to the Bumper while ditching your birthright You were my best friend I knew I’d see you again I think about the poem you wrote while waiting for the bread to bake The moon was out, your mother quaked And the girl dressed in black Out of the way, stood in the back Casting a spell in a cape, clear as day, I could see it in the moonlight One for the number Two for divorce Three individuals All things run their course One for the number Two for divorce Three individuals All things run their course Wine-soaked night of trivialized Exaltations that didn’t sit right You and the moon on a Saturday night Pull Up to the Bumper while Pull Up to the Bumper while

Lady Put away your dread Never make the bed, leave it unmade Baby Dance with me instead Dance with me instead Don’t believe your eyes Popularity has always been a burden, not a prize Disturb the peace Always instigate, always instigate Baby Dance with me instead Dance with me instead But don’t believe your eyes Popularity has always been a burden, not a prize Baby Dance with me instead Dance with me instead Don’t believe your eyes Popularity has always been a burden, not a prize Baby Dance with me instead Dance with me instead Don’t believe your eyes Popularity has always been a burden, not a prize

Spring 02:32
lyrics

Free from the mines of the underground Deadly and knowing what to do Poet flipping to a blank page Soldier loading up a musket, too New starts are deception Freshness doesn’t pay The moment will reject you if you jump ahead You will never live a day Spring is a terminable season Mordant, an incomparable haze Triggering to those prone to insanity A false promise for those stuck in their ways New starts are deception Freshness doesn’t pay The moment will reject you if you jump ahead You’ll never live a day

Kingdom Come 04:33
lyrics
buy track
Standing on a sidewalk Looking for the friendship you gave when you talked About casualties and memories Lamenting disorders That consume your mind consume your mind consume your mind consume your mind they consume you Kneeling on a glowing hill A vagrant on a mountain you bought when you killed The prior, the owner, the abbot, their son Feeling no direction And holding a gun Holding a gun Holding a gun Holding a gun You were holding a gun A failure A castaway A father without a son Agreement Ratified 'til kingdom come 'til kingdom come 'til kingdom come 'til kingdom come 'til kingdom come
