guardian angel bored to death
feel the marrow melt in your bones
in front of moon and stars
come breathe the downstairs air
every letter that spells you
is every axe that felled you
and every letter that you didn't send
and you didn't meant to
you're whole-heartedly insincere
oh yeah
we felt him writhing
on the bedroom floor
we felt him writhing
on the kitchen floor
I was singing
I was singing
I was singing
I was singing

quick to dismiss

lower come closer
is written in the dust on our shelves
it's the most of me
you're watching them, young atoms
what you are is what they'll become
in your eyes
not otherwise
again
lower come closer
is written in the dust on our shelves
it's the most of me
you're watching them, young atoms
what you are is what they'll become
in your eyes
not otherwise
and the biggest change you made
for you stood still for too long
and the shadow that you cast it kills them all
and the shadow that you cast I kiss them all
and the biggest change you made
for you stood still for too long
and the shadow that you cast it kills them all
and the shadow that you cast I kiss them all
lower come closer
slower draws closer
image save the best for ourselves
no animals are we
yes a link in us lasting
leapt from your porch to your prey
to your prey
to your prey
and the biggest change you made
for you stood still for too long
and the shadow that you cast it kills them all
and the shadow that you cast I kiss them all
and the biggest change you made
for you stood still for too long
and the shadow that you cast it kills them all
and the shadow that you cast I kiss them all
goodnight

there comes a voice
deformed
and with a yawn from your mouth
i was unbelieving
I'm leaving

remains here
we tire beneath the leaves
and everything you ever said
yes every word corrected
remains here
we tire beneath the leaves
and everything you ever said
yes every word corrected

and everything you ever said
yes every word corrected
my body rise
with the expanse of his chest
my body fall
with the collapse of his breast
my body rise
my body fall

my body fall
we land
on land
for the pilot doesn't swim
silent knight
holy knight

there comes a voice

in clearings on sheets
a meeting of beasts
say it's you
I knew silence
a new silence in you
and it's whispering
yes it's whispering
come on whisper it
come on whisper it
if I'm wrong
yes I'm wrong
won't you let me know
lay your wet hair down
too tired to dry it
we're crashing here
too tired to drive it
under the overpass
built to crash collapse entrap
we just found out
that we're not getting out
and it's whispering
come on whisper it
if I'm wrong
yes I'm wrong
won't you let me know
we know who makes the garden grow
we grow just as the garden grows
we know who makes the garden grow
we grow just as the garden grows
in clearings on sheets
a meeting of beasts
say it's you
I knew silence
a new silence in you
lay your wet hair down
too tired to dry it

too tired to drive it
we know who makes the garden grow

well I know you could
if you fell flat underneath them
well I know you could
if you fell flat underneath them
another year older
and you're losing your teeth
you go
oh no
in to life I thrust
I thrust every last breath
every empty threat upon
the butcher's head and

of last places
to remember
unfamiliar faces
be swift
despair
well I must get out of this fresh air
of last places
to remember
unfamiliar faces
be swift
despair
well I must get out
I must get out
and you know
what it takes
to make a desperate race
pieces of dad
and bits of the book you read
but did you ever
no you never
had one thought of your own
and what it takes
please stay awake
and make me feel unsafe again
you scrape skies
to find
what doesn't sleep is never kind
and just in time
to make a desperate race
so go home
