Geographers 03:51
Eyes that watch us from the dark at night The hands that find their way to evening, the fog that blinds our sight Pride, the kind that burrows in your hide The kind that lays its eggs inside you, then eats you from inside A panicked movement, so calm and fluid, the fear of letting go Blow out to nothing, relieve me of this soul Blow out, unloving, and tired of digging holes Love that manifests itself as lust The desperate plea for flesh and comfort, for safety from above A panicked movement, so calm and fluid, the fear of letting go Blow out to nothing, relieve me of this soul Blow out, unloving, and tired of digging holes And though we’re losing light, draw maps by candlelight Geographers into this world unknown Hold my hand in tight, feel my breath subside Geographers from Babylon to Rome Don’t ask for something you know you can’t control Don’t ask the questions you wouldn’t want to know Blow out to nothing, relieve me of this soul Blow out, unloving, and tired of digging holes We were all alone

Every mix a solution, but I could never make it easy on you Combination of fluids, engine running out of habit of use Climb the walls to the ceiling, starve this hunger until it swallows the room And I’m here in the corner Seeds are planted once, eat and grow and wind their way through it In time they fall apart, leaving spaces, hollow and rooted Through these days and nights The moon and the tide Through these days and nights The moon and the tide Stare into the storm, and I see through it Swore I’d give you more, The moon and the tide Every day you go walking, every day I find it harder to move Feel the temperature dropping, ice is forming at edge of the roof Sink your teeth in with feeling, skin of paper covers layers of bruise And I’m here in the corner Seeds are planted once, eat and grow and wind their way through it In time they fall apart, leaving spaces, hollow and rooted Through these days and nights The moon and the tide Through these days and nights The moon and the tide Stare into the storm, and I see through it Swore I’d give you more, but I can’t do it I can’t do it, no I can’t do it The moon and the tide The moon and the tide

Titan 04:36
Staring at the ceiling crown, discovering tomorrow’s come And even though the sky is gone, it was not enough I can feel it all around, whispers fill the streets with sound These legs as silent as these arms that have held me down Who would want this for their life? And I’ve lost the will to fight So I ask you, are you doing alright? When a Titan’s lost his might Will they ostracize or smite? So I ask you, are we doing alright? You the one been feeding me stones? You the one been feeding me stones I would never be the one, because wisdom gives a certain calm But a decade that has come and gone, and what do I know? On Crete when we were both so young, still hidden from the fire to come A pay phone couldn’t find you home, and I should have known And you, you haunt me now And you And you, I woke you now And so I have to go Who would want this for their life? And I’ve lost the will to fight So I ask you, are you doing alright? When a Titan’s lost his might Will they ostracize or smite? So I ask you, are we doing alright? You the one been feeding me stones? You the one been feeding me stones

Monogyny 03:41
When you asked if I would stay, and I replied “I’m gone” And all our lies came out to play and tore apart this home Oh, ordinary Oh, we push and pull but we know we’ve grown undone When the queen will lay her eggs the workers stand as one Once the heir has come to stay they tear her into crumbs Oh, were you falling? Oh, I’d pick you up but I know you stole my tongue Oh, with a warning Oh, save your breath ‘cause you know I broke your lungs
