lyrics

pupils swimming
head of locks
came to bicker over shots
crawling the surface
of sidewalks
desiccated, talking shop

and you knew it all along
plucking the feathers from my jaw
I come to a boil, don't feel at all
chirping that reminiscent song

wither and focus
a fly on the wall
a buzzing, antagonistic thrall

deafened and cordoned
your limbs become stumps
another regressive forlorn slump

and you knew it all along
plucking the feathers from my jaw
I come to a boil, don't feel at all
chirping that reminiscent song
---
whittled down to base components
antecedent of my holding
onto you, a cycle I can never complete

dread stops me in my tracks
attainment of the things I Lack
it seems so damn impossible, I'll hold the sin up

You can nurse and hide or beg and plead
My pulse missing, blood at half opacity
Conscience is a nag and I hope it leaves
got a new ultimatum every week

I know it's part of the process
but I cannot stomach any more of it
Total platitudes aiming
for deflection that I'm maintaining endlessly

you will grasp for someone's notice
isolate, corrode and possess
ceramic knife admittance
kept preserved like pins in insects
chirping that reminiscent song
and I'm never changing
