Mold 01:28
I wonder Do all vaginas smell the same? Or is it mold? Caught a woodcut in a net and it didnt tell me a god damn thing That's the code of harm Sold a trombone to a lipless fiend That's the code of harm Sailed in the drought just cause I could and it burned That's my coat of arms I know it, I know it It was mold
2.
My trusting pieces crippled by abuse My loving organs shriveled up from lack of use I've got my waiting on you and what I'm really due Whatever I cant get back I'm gonna have to steal from you
3.
My joints are rigid My smile's livid My muscles are simply gone Despite all that, cruelly My mind hold's on My hair is shrinking back inside my head Slowly throwing up everything I ate The lava has begun to melt my shoes A few new cavities on a twice-filled tooth My skin is leather I dont know what's better To be driven or to drive mad Drive mad I'm simply gone
4.
My eyelids turn down The voice of the current fades I'm lulled into dreams by the song of the waves I'm crashing into the shore My body is the coast and I want nothing more
5.
Dear Audrey 02:24
I remember The moment I realized I truly love you Hanging around the kitchen in the summer with your halo soaring above you Marla was feeling very uninformed Like maybe she'd only just been born She wants to know what's going on and you turned to her and said "Marla, This is what's going on Right here in this room This is what's going on and Nothing else matters at all In this world you're so very small You'll never get to be so tall that you see over the wall" Dear Audrey, on that night I knew that I would always love you

The pastor asked me "Do you know when you'll be crucified?" The answer was, "Yes" but, I averted my eyes Cause how could I explain what I know They'll think I'm going off the rails again My fuse is blown So it's time I choose Which way I'll fail Cause I can only lose On this lonesome trail I know the plane goes down Just dont know where So I aint hanging around Unless it's in the air Cuz now the paranoia's setting in and I'm starting to feel Like I'm going off the rails again and There's no repeal So I guess I'll choose Which way I'll fail Cause I can only lose On this lonesome trail
7.
Climbed Monument Mountain and sat at the top Thought I was alone but a snake emerged from under a rock Told me secrets human tongues could never tell Now the whispers of the Berkshires are mine to quell I push the water through Wahconah Falls Lulu comes down the mountain when I call I put the snake to sleep with this serpent's charm I picked up it up and stabbed its fangs into my arm Omniscience and infinity in my veins The sun falls from the sky and I take its place
8.
My love is like the densest clouds All the birds who fly through 'em just up and drown And now I'm gonna precipitate it I push for a sprinkle but it comes down in a storm of hail It leadens the boat and puts holes in your sail When the fog comes down I scour the land running But the winged carcasses below aint even good for stuffing
