lyrics

Strangers, what are you doing here?
Why don’t you just go home?
I don’t want you here
Because you will break things, upturn furniture, burn the curtains down

What of me would remain if I pursue what I entertain?
Get out of my house!

The incessant babble
The cloying prattle
Packed like a crowded elevator, cable severed, careening into the ground
Run the bath until nothing but dust and rattled rusty barks and groans escape
Return to a dying cold world
(SOMETHING SOMETHING) LONG GONE CANYON WALL
I need a trap, a ruse, a cleaning cataclysm, wind and sound to smoke you out

Your welcome has been overstayed
You can’t understand what I’m trying to say
Demons, no more holiday
The waiting room in the Obsolaire, where all the faceless stay

What of me would remain if I pursue what I entertain?

My sleep is troubled by dark voices
That I can’t believe begin within my own mind

PIED PIPER PLAN
LEAD THEM ON LEASHES
LAZY LITTLE ANIMALS
LURE THEM INTO A CAVE
MY UNSPEAKABLE MILITARY CAMPAIGN
