Carpenter 04:46
i am the conscience of pontius pilate forgiven i am the nails that fail to hold your portrait i am a carpenter the art of which is lost on you i am an artist feigning heartless give myself to you i am the noose that judas found his fate in roll over boulders, wake up god, come on, we’re waiting i am a carpenter the art of which is lost on you hold wooden crucifixes you can’t fix this time forgets you hoist me up to heaven so you can feel my burden hoist me up to heaven so you can feel my weight i am the weight i am the burden

God's Teeth 02:52
i feel like autumn yeah i gotta get my head back in the clouds i think i want it i’m exhausted spinning round and round crooked smile it’s been a while since i’ve weaved my ribs in yours i know you’re scared i’ll let the cold in so you’re closing all these doors i’m drinking varnish yeah i gotta polish all the parts i hate analytic parasitic and it’s driving me insane thorny crown it’s been a while since i counted all your sores and you know i’ll keep on staring so you’re closing all these doors help me push these daisies so white so clean just like the bleach on god’s teeth i feel like autumn yeah i gotta get my head back in the clouds yeah i want it i’m exhausted spinnin’ round and round yeah thorny crown it’s been a while since i’ve counted all your sores and you know i’ll let the cold in so you’re closing all these doors you can’t swallow the world because the world is not yours

Drawer 04:31
leaves from a branch on the sidewalk a family tree that wasn’t watered enough clipped and pruned in all the right ways it offers shade for those overcast days it blocks the neighbor’s view and it blocks mine too I was standing on the front porch and you weren’t home I keep your picture in a top drawer and you wouldn’t even know a burnt out patio lantern and you thought nighttime wasn’t dark enough you spent 23 years staring at clocks, you’re trying to wind them up you cut yourself on broken glass you’re lost in the past and you’ve lost everything except for blurred photographs and baby’s clothing I wish you would have stayed a while now I will always be a middle child I was standing on the front porch and you weren’t home I keep your picture in a top drawer and you wouldn’t even know I wish you would have stayed a while now I will always be a middle child standing on the front porch and you weren’t home I keep your picture in a top drawer and you wouldn’t even know

this world’s a shallow place and no one will remember your name you’re stomping puddles in a thunderstorm but the depth’s still the same you scream your throat raw, break my glass jaw, put this whole world to shame your life is grey save face fill the cracks with empty space same place just redecorated every floral tapestry’s an elegant excuse to leave build walls work your hands to the bone it’s alright for you to fucking hate it i can’t keep my voice from shaking everything is so frustrating blame everything on everyone erase all the delicate parts retrace all your steps to the start and see where that gets you there’s a difference between saying i miss you and i wish you were here why’s there always something in the way of your mouth when you smile stare at the sun for a while and blame everything on everyone you should keep to yourself so you can keep composure you should keep to yourself you wear your history like a ghost

Nails 06:28
in the end all your friends will end up all alone slept in the temple a million times, couldn’t call it a home I’m the son you wanted it I’m the book you started I’m the burning bush but I’ve misplaced my words bury me in the earth underneath your feet cup the soil, plant the seed, and breathe life into me finally growing up time to go on up through the leaves in the trees that all leave before you get a chance to grab the ladder get me down I’ve been dying here for days get my mother, gather round you can cry, it’s ok I don’t want to wear this crown I sold all the jewels and diamonds anyways one day I will weigh nothing a lifetime wasted waiting for something a savior that can’t save a spade to dig my grave the part of me I gave away grind your teeth and kiss my feet it feels like my mother’s a necklace to be bought and sold or thieved or stolen I’m glad I’m the only one the bastard son it feels like my wrists have slits and not nail holes so gnash your teeth and break my bones and spit me out and bleach me white and sell my soul and dim the light and forget about me
