bird 01:42
walk down a long path a street overpass taking the hearse to meet your match to return is a long way back warm ground fall down
2.
flip 02:02
discern your serpents i saw your number call it served no purpose to pick up another fatal flaw face off i dont want in a gray zone i forgot a race i will never run
3.
dark 02:54
separate yourself from the rusted shell of a hermit in the wood poor judgement the self defeating pen wrote the stupid afterword you can bare your skin if you let them in more incentive for the whore it's a naked hell there's nothing left to sell pure intention is a bore in the dark i'll keep looking out the door head's still in the dark
4.
old 01:09
won't change nothing new warm blanket wrapped in blue bed made to fall into dead weight holding you
5.
glass 02:38
in a glass world wont bear thoughts of your neighbors lawn ground was so green it was all done blood birth that you wrought became a song cold and lonely spitting the purpose south pushing the pain right down into an open mouth wasnt surprised what came out
6.
spin 02:20
7.
pray 02:49
hell in your eyes the light was gone all the pills you swallow will come out like an old black dog waking up what you want hanging on to the cross looking down im not looking now waiting for your eyes to well up
8.
idk 02:52
before our gaze met the score always set rain on your head weight on your bed the thorn always red it tore our frayed end made mother mad fade away fad
9.
tree 02:21
new rose in the coldest pose reaching out for the thorn old tree with a poison seed couldn't be left alone havent thought about that place in awhile wont miss another reason to smile
10.
coma 02:46
mothers down for the count under couch fur falls out no fun so numb butters out of the house lovers bout wash her mouth no fun so numb
