Here's another bitter pill
I've had more than enough
Seems no better for us still
8am and I'm already done
You were so certain you were right
It's all black and white
Invest in infrastructure
Wait there for the rapture
The facts are in but they're all wrong
Believe in every fleeting wind
Welcome respite from the heat
Build up all the coastal land
Trust the water not to rise
Only the faithless compromise

Meet me at Trophy Bar
cuz that's where I am
Yeah, that's where I'll be
I know it's pretty far
I'll come get you
Just tell me where you are and
I'll be right there
You're somewhere in the city?
Real helpful, dear. I'm on my way.
All the cool kids wrapped up in themselves
Couldn't keep me from you
All the late nights out in Murray Hill
Couldn't keep me from you
What do you mean you're not here?
Exactly where did you disappear off to now?
I'll find you somehow

Fine examples creatures make
Wild eyed struggle, maintain shape
I'm ready, begin
the mortal reckoning
Teeth and talons, fair enough
Do whatever gets results
Primal frenzy, feeding trough
Baser instincts signing off
Enough's enough's enough
when there's enough to go around
But every hunter needs his quarry
Every shadow...
Let it go and it'll go away
Let it slip...lose your grip
Let it be...away
...from me, I'll go...
All that ink spilled
I'm just a name on a bathroom wall
Some white center burns white hot
Like the others, soon will not

Hello, brother – closest friend
Nice to see you knife in hand
Have some sugar to salt your wound
This, too, shall pass...but no time soon
Thought I was over this feelings thing
They laid it on pretty damn thick
back when I was sixteen
Feeling quite peachy, my stomach's a pit
White knuckle waiting to weather this shit
No cure for it, the treatment's worse
Drown it, bare it, the examined curse
One time around, am I hurting right?
Guess I'm asking 'til that long goodnight

Arms race
in the neighborhood association
Better
since mandatory participation
No, we're never going out again
Arms race
Keep your eyes trained on the fences
Better
Arm yourselves and man the trenches
We have seen him burn the bridges
So we know he'll keep us warm
We have seen him rage against them
He is stronger than the storm
Heart of stone he's never blinking
He's just saying what we're thinking
You've your suspicions, yeah?
Well I have seen the truth
I'll reassure your paranoia with the proof
I have seen the Other
and it is as you fear
I'm here to tell you...
all your fears are real.

A block from home again
the safest place that I can park the car
I'm not eager for the cold again though
the walk's not very far
So I will wait at least for this last song
to reach its final chords
and wonder at the things afforded me
by those that came before
Is this just a dream?
Settled in again with you, there,
resting neatly on my chest
With things arranged, just so,
it would be all too easy to forget
So songs of heartbreak on remind us
when we were both separate
No warmth to give
Comfort to get

Check the deadbolt twice before I leave
Protect my love, there, while she sleeps
When we say our goodbyes
give them like our last rights
Counting another night till they're
gone
At the end of the day I'll ask for
another with you
Every new ache, now, is an omen
Ill futures spelled out in the bones
Every visit is a leap
Time stretches between each
When won't the call complete
cuz you're
gone.

Elephants

The elephants are oscillations
they're just vibrations all the way down
Broadcast into your spectrum
Project them
the smallest parts of sound
Be more of a neighbor
with your demands
I'd give you your moment of silence
But that's the space I'm trying to fill
Not the facts, the implications
For status and for station
what about my place?
In the end they're only questions
...so ask them
What about my place?
