Fox Fort

Feel it crawling through the vein-
remind the blessed of all the worst a life can be:
Biting at your nails until they bleed.
Don't take this wrong- but that was really your fault.
It won't matter, you'll forget me in a year.
And I'll waste my time: I'll let the words sleep.
Godspeed- life is blinding-
while you're hiding in the fortress that you made.
Fox teeth- bite through concrete-
tearing down the things that keep you safe.
Overcome! I've been overwhelmed!
We couldn't understand back then:
Honestly, you still don't have a clue.
Don't hear me wrong- but that was mostly my fault.
Nothing matters I can see the end from here.
And I'll waste my time: I'll let the words sleep.
Godspeed- life is blinding-
while you're hiding in the fortress that you made.
Fox teeth- bite through concrete-
tearing down the things that keep you safe.
This cannot be me-
when I'm out of sight I'm out of mind.
The grave is full of beating hearts-
and you've been stealing all your life.
Oh my god! I can't recall your name!
Nor remember you as ever being near.
Godspeed- life is blinding-
while you're hiding in the fortress that you made.
Fox teeth- bite through concrete-
tearing down the things that keep you safe.
This cannot be me-
when I'm out of sight I'm out of mind.
The grave is full of beating hearts-
and you've been stealing all your life.

Absent Minded

I feel like a thief through your eyes,
You have me climbing through windows- walking on tiptoe.
I act like a secret and can't tell the difference
Between what I've done and who you really are.
And I've been reading through your books-
and they remind me of a time when whispers kept you up at night.
And that's a lonely way to live when you've been lying all your life.
But I swear to god I'll try to forget this...
We're not quite finished just yet,
And I'll hold on to you as if I can't hardly breathe.
I'll drag out this moment as if it's important-
And steal for the rest of my natural-born life.
And I've been reading through your books-
and they remind me of a time when panic kept me up at night.
And that's a lonely way to live when you've been lying all your life.
But I swear to god I'll try to forget that...
You're so absent minded- neglectful- I'm delighted
to make your acquaintance- goodbye now, good riddance.
And I hadn't thought this but there's no more forgiveness.
Compassion or kindness- we will not get past this.
You're so absent minded- neglectful- I'm delighted

And I hadn't thought this but there's no more forgiveness.
Compassion or kindness- we will not get past this.
And I've been reading through your books
and they remind me of a time when screaming kept us up at night.
And that's a lonely way to live when you've been lying all your life.
But I swear to god I'll try to forget this...
But I will not forgive you.

What Is This Winter?

No- I won't be here a year from now.
Letting go is not where we shine.
Do you know me? I can't recall.
Give it some time- I can't remember at all.
Go to sleep now while you can-
I let this get out my hand for a while;
Trying to sell your lies.
And I will not apologize for your behavior anymore.
You've been wasting away everything you're good for.
We'd sit in the winterhold for hours-
Waiting for you to make a call.
If hindsight says we didn't matter-
Then all you could ever do was stall.
Go to sleep now while you can-
I let this get out my hand for a while;
Trying to sell your lies.
And I will not apologize for your behavior anymore.
You've been wasting away everything you're good for.
Don't take too long-
Don't seem so strong- and take my word as law.
And I swear to god I'll take you on-
Our turn will come around.
I won't be here at the end of the year-
But you honestly don't seem to care.
Go to sleep now while you can-
I let this get out my hand for a while;
Trying to sell your lies.
And I will not apologize for your behavior anymore.
You've been wasting away everything you're good for.

Grandmother Clock

Control your thoughts like frozen blood.
Can't pour this out through serrated cuts.
Sleeping reason brings forth beasts-
Can it be at peace?
Far too late to turn away-
Burn your eyes and stay.
Common slave.
Far too late to save the congregants-
And so they pray.
A nursery rhyme- keep the young ones occupied.
We'll waste their time- and educate them when we die.
All by yourself you'll be forced to find your healthiest distractions-
For mild interactions.
Innocuous decisions make insidious reactions-
Refusing satisfaction.
A simple lie gushing from your mouth-
Leading to a closing box: Grandmother Clock.
Adequate at best- In distress you rest.
Complexity in stress- Destroyed the best.
A nursery rhyme- keep the young ones occupied.
We'll waste their time- and educate them when they die.
All by yourself you'll be forced to find your healthiest distractions-
For mild interactions.
Innocuous decisions make insidious reactions-
Refusing satisfaction.
A simple lie gushing from your mouth-
Leading to a closing box: Grandmother Clock.
Go find your way out.
Go find your way out.
Go find your way out.
Go find your way out.
