1. Alogos
Alogos
Speak with swollen tongue
Tell me what you mean
The word without sense
Speak with swollen tongue
Tell me what you mean
The noise within
Irrationally, quietly
And speak never
Never speak
The reason
Irrationally, quietly
And speak never
Never speak
Squeak by
2. Neighborhood 8
Neighborhood 8
Here I wait in line, online
Open doors to stare
As I run, want to escape
Want to find out where I live
They’re tailing
They’re trailing
Use my parts in wiser ways
The end happens again
Drifting to a new oppression
Take it off my back
I’m tailing I’m trailing
Trace my veins, appear
Strain to hear the whisper
All of me is here
Slice it off the map
Trace my veins, appear
Strain to hear the whisper
Use my parts in wiser ways
The end happens again
Drifting to a new oppression
Take it off my back
I’m tailing I’m trailing
3. Appease
Appease
Tell me what you know
How you know who you know
What you know, who you know
Doubt not, Thomas
One more piece, another
Drop against my natural
This unnatural longing
This Eternal Law
Nothing is ever
Forgiven, forsaken
This unnatural longing
This Eternal Law
4. Bolt
Bolt
Safety, a barricade
And running away
Lightning, enlightening
The least resistance
Lock down, load up
Draw back the bolt
Aim, let it all in
Open wide, hiding
5. A Priori
A Priori
In the whole, the part
A part of me
Give away, take away
Nothing to see
Without feeling
Just stealing
Take all I say and prove it wrong
Breaking glass cages experience within
Give away, take away
Nothing to win It flies away
Fades to gray
Take all I say and prove it wrong
6. Bland Hand Society
Bland Hand Society
Fake your pain
Your regret
It’s not mine
Move your bland hands
They don’t touch
Go right through
Buy and sell your doom
Use your grand plans
Lie before shameful beauty
Burn your bridge
Build it again
It’s not mine
Move your bland hands
7. Organon
Organon
This mist and rain
Traveled from you
Ten thousand miles to meet me
And I hide inside, dry
To touch To tool something new
This growing follows
Hollows closely the heels
Where arrows fall anonymously
Wedged between knowledge, opinion
And I hide inside, dry
To touch To tool something new
8. Outlet
Outlet
Sometimes I just need to tell
Dispel the torpor
Head up, mouth to the sky
Beware
Sometimes I need to tell
Though it hurts either way
Or I could just forget it all
9. Ensurpate
Ensurpate
No isms and ists
Tell me where to find
Catacyclismic…
ere I go again
And I’m bowing down
Before I fall down
I look up before I get up, look around
No isms and ists
Tell me where to find
Catacyclismic…
Here I go again
10. Before the Before
Before the Before
Tongues lashing
Slashing, burn away
This one chance I’ve seen it before
Walk in front of me
Swerve a little
This all unnerves me
At the worst of times
How far back should we go?
Everything before
Nothing after
11. After the After
After the After
Why do you complain?
It’s so yesterday
One hand, bland enough
One mind, kind enough
Applaud, looking away
Looking ahead
One hand, bland enough
One mind, kind enough
Heave it, leave it behind
You can’t support
Weigh it carefully
Watch it float away
