Penned 04:11
you penned upon a pine a pond of prisms and lights a friend, a fawn a fire afar in schisms and plights and it's always there for you the pages' glaring hue all her worries they fly in the stories she will write you built a hilt for swords of boards for battle in rage you're skilled but still the lords of lore will rattle your cage and it's always there for you the paper's glaring hue all her worries they fly in the stories she will write i remember hearing stories you wrote for the blind an enthralling historic event you left behind tales of wine and dining the city that you had left there, perfect in timing and you wrote and isn't this what you need scripturient entity the byzantine elegy it's always there for thee it's always there for thee none of us will ever be as beautiful as elegies it's always there for thee

hear the message of the world i'm glad you are disturbed silently perturbed but you didn't say a word as long as you withstand as long as you have hands you will be a part, but you're looking like a slave to the medicine oxycotton picking idiot behave like you're venison you couldn't make it past the thrill of it the grave of a denizen, yes it's sad, but you can live on it and in the meantime you could pray that we will fall apart hear the message of the world i'm glad you are disturbed silently perturbed but you didn't say a word as long as you withstand as long as you have hands you will be a part and it goes like: was ever woman in this humour woo'ed? was ever woman in this humor won? and is it possible to be less rude? and is it possible to be unsung? 'cause there's no staring now as there's discretion here and in the meantime you could pray that we will fall apart we've been searching far and wide and why do you do youths in spain? does pain have anything to do does pain have anything to do? oh rampapapam-pam isn't this fun? isn't this fun when we get along, son, when we get along? isn't hard to achieve, but it's hard to believe when it's all in your sleeve, but you are a greedy individual trying to cause trouble nobody really had a beef with one-another but then you came and it remained the same and it was all a game and you had them to blame hear the message of the world i'm glad you are disturbed silently perturbed but you didn't say a word as long as you withstand as long as you have hands you can be a part and it goes boom boom like the time that you beat the world but you can't defeat the bird boom like the time that you'd feed the worth by the time that you hear these words boom like the time that you didn't give it a chance boom like the time that you didn't give it a glance oh, wake me up for monday's early morning suicide (ad nauseum) boom like the time boom like the time boom like the time that you beat the world but you can't defeat the bird boom like the time that you'd feed the worth by the time that you hear these words

stepping on air enjoying despair and the shy will be leading the throng a stallion, a mare on the road to nowhere we didn't do anything wrong we'll be fine, we'll be kind to the brave and the knave led astray, led away and in need we can see you grow riding in rain writhing in pain it's true, but it doesn't feel good it's hard to explain when you try, but i vain and you fail like you knew that you would we'll be fine, we'll be kind to the brave and the knave led astray, led away and in need we can see you grow because you laugh to yourself and you're speaking too loud a salute to the sun we can see you grow we'll be fine, we'll be kind to the brave and the knave led astray, led away and in need we can see you grow you said your goodbye to the world to the health of the fire and that of the flames the things we admire remaining the same we can see you grow

i've noticed you've started wearing black and it bugs me that is suits you is it your heart under attack? so is this really all? and is this really us now? are you trying to give your life away? and this is hardly what you came for. just when the magistrate had another go. help decide the right and wrong because i'm pretty sure i don't know what side you're standing on as i'm pretty sure it won't show so is this really all? and is this really us now? are you trying to give your life away? and this is hardly what you came for. just when the magistrate had another go.

Powder 02:50
welcome back they're in love with you your heart attack is far past due it's not a lie, it's your attitude, just a terminological inexactitude so in a row they're glistening: polonium and hydrogen and even though you're listening you don't seem to know that you can't just take a walk alone so you hope for the best and you finally pick up the phone keep heading west 'cause you can't just take a walk alone vertigo from the mess you're in from head to toe with the blood on your chin and even though you're listening you don't seem to know that you can't just take a walk on early morning suicide just buckle up, don't wanna die to be a part of the bourgeoisie just scrape the bone; 'cause you can't just take a walk alone so you hope for the best and you finally pick up the phone keep heading west 'cause you can't just take a walk alone every time i have to change my mind it was a different thing? hold me closer to the fire pull me nearer to the flames your fingers burning with desire we don't need a beast without a name it's coming closer now and getting louder than before pull me closer now it's shaking powder to the core every time i have to change my mind it was a different thing?

this little man didn't let anybody in and he fought for his life and he fought for his sin and he rose and he rode from the west to the south and he rose and he rode through the elements and denizens this little man didn't let anybody in and he fought for his life and he fought for his kin it was him it was him who wrote your name in the sky it was him it was him with the sadness in the eye "she's idly leafing through his diaries in hopes of finding something of significance" "pulchritudinous and engulfed in solitude" this little man didn't let anybody close and he fought for his land and for those in a pinch in a way he's a mystery too and if asked he would laugh and say nothing to you every time you want to know a little more than necessary he will run and every time you want to know a little more than necessary he'd be gone oh, the streets are closing all the streets are closed oh the streets are closing all the streets are closing every time you want to know a little more than necessary he will run and every time you want to know a little more than necessary he'd be gone oh the streets are closing all the streets are closing

"the profound knowledge that somewhere someone is watching you and only you giddy with anticipation the sombering thought that somewhere out there loretta is waiting and searching for a chance to kill" I hope she'll kill a man other than me but i know he won't be the last she keeps her bloody plan easy to see so i know i won't make it past september hey now won't you put the gun down i'll give you the run down i know what you'll do to me hey now won't you put the blade down i know you'll make me pay now it's coming any day now at loretta's vendetta perhaps she came down with a decease not a tease she couldn't be pleased loretta somehow crossed all the seas just to seize on her enemies hey now won't you put the gun down i'll give you the run down i know what you'll do to me hey now won't you put the blade down i know you'll make me pay now it's coming any day now this is loretta's vendetta not only beautiful but evil by design loretta let's me know i'm running out of time i'm running out of time

baseball bats beckoning a troubled past but you came and you killed as you pleased at long last and i hope you had a blast 'cause you came and you killed as you pleased when we get old we'll do well I'm told and we'll quit the games when we get cold it's a sight to behold as we watch the flames dilettante and an idiot savant we'd be pleased if you'd please just allay idly flaunt all the houses you will haunt 'cause it's all soon to be demode when we get old we'll do well I'm told and we'll quit the games when we get cold it's a sight to behold as we watch the flames when we get old we'll do well I'm told and we'll quit the games when we get cold it's a sight to behold as we watch the flames at the king's request not a minute i could rest but I'm slain at your knees can't you see it's a common pest one of knowledge and of zest but the same it's a plain malady when we get old we'll do well I'm told and we'll quit the games when we get cold it's a sight to behold as we watch the flames

Make it Last 02:18
i was trained to be a priest alone a grownup in the east and i offended many gods because i made them fall apart and there is nothing i can do to make it be a part of you there is solace in the past as long as we keep dreaming and observing that there's other denizens who make it last i was trained to be a soldier it's off the record, but i told you and i can hold many grudges regardless of what it touches as other denizens can make it last there's other denizens to make it last if it wasn't for the money i'd be your friend wait till sun come down and i didn't find it funny the first time we met so you put another penny on the crown and i was trained to be a victim there's nothing left for me to do here in the vessel i get sick in i'm sick of me i'm sick of you

Catharsis 03:12
they told me not to come here as i would lose my way clear they told me not to stray far i would be the last straw i gave my best to fit into the plan just to move aside and miss again i stopped to feel they told me not to speak loud explained that i should be proud of the things that i was born with can not hold up to scorn with i gave my best to fit into the corner just to be a parasite and mourn her i stopped to feel the told me not to mourn here i would catch a thorn here told me not to fight fair i would have no right there told me how to run far i would just be sub par and i stopped to feel and if there's anything left it will wither and die wither and i know and if there's anything left it will wither and die wither and i know because i tried i stopped to feel

Hunters 03:07
thunder roars and i will never fall asleep when the hunter calls and i will have to hide in leaves run for as long as you can as you're starting to see things differently and the stars above they're yours and ours i've been sewing on a different kind of seam when the hunter's heightened senses hear a silent scream is it you or just another call to arms because yonder fathers cry over their dying sons as you're starting to speak at a different speed and the stars above they're yours and ours run for as long as you can i've heard stories of a different kind of night when the hunters paint their worries in the firelight and the shadows cast are promises of better days as the fire lasts for ages where the hunters lay as you're starting to see things differently and the stars above they're yours and ours as you're starting to speak at a different speed and the night is too dark and the light is too far they're yours and ours
