Cocoon 02:19
I, the cocoon Illegitimate baby Worn so tight And you wear the sex for less makeup I hide for you I hide for me You the cocoon In my room You wear it so tightly You wear the sex for less And the size I despise It strips the inside of the outside You want to sleep with me Oh cocoon Your teeth are so soon Blood on your pearls

Piano 04:05
Lonely leaving lovely Can’t help but think of you Nailing nudes upon a cue I can’t think of you Stripping down a frown And I often immerse myself in memory for you Lonely leaving lovely I can’t think of you Nailing nudes upon a cue Stripping down a frown Pin quilt bleeder So I built it steeper So much steeper Lonely leaving I caught a glimpse of you And upon a cue Can’t help but think of you And every time we say goodbye It says forever Because forever is every time I think of you
3.
Wanting to walk away from want I step through strategy And I step through troubled step Meticulous, spry coat kiss And men in elephant stare Applied and testified with halo The living landscape so changing The posture so broken And wanting is nothing new New to me, new to you Wanting to walk away from self Portrait thin and nomadic faith Paralyzed nude down from eyes And women in no sin I rest in pain so paralyzed And wanting is nothing new New to me, new to you We meet in front of lips To shudder, too close, to leave Pain is self The self is ego We meet in front of lips To shudder, too close, to leave Wanting to walk away from want Just walk away And wanting is nothing new Wanting to walk away
4.
Tell the angels with the stained wings That I got some gold And to the ancient lands I’ll rest my body And sand I’ll hold Choked on drink with ground so thin that angels need to weep And to the Indian skies, I’ll put in trust and dream for sleep

Sun Kiss 02:34
My armor radiates A shiny sun kiss flare Inspected flaws They cease to bare A tainting scar My soul I kiss As I prepare for my avail The eyes are sun kissed A stone, they can’t be pierced A stone, a life That touches its own soul A thousand miles away You stand the key within your hand The lock that shines The light is the stone Under the man
6.
I broke the skin with my ugliness And threw out billboard love and legs And these bodies that I try and hold onto Just let me go But you know I tried I’m no match for you And these bodies that I try and fit into They don’t look like me But you know I tried for you Without feeling ugly Without feeling at all They don’t look like me These pale faces look on and on Past the pages

1I 04:49
A seven-mile smile touches sun with every blink A waning wave steers a hundred thoughts through a hundred minds A painted sin stares across a legacy of reason A foolish fiber cut is my only gift to you A severed vein vulnerable to hurt ones that should not cry A lucid lie rests in a hundred thoughts and hundred minds
8.
Sick Boy 02:39
Sick boy, sick face Been dreaming about a better place Sick boy, base head Leaps to his knees and prays to thieves Coma feel nice It’s so hard to breathe when you’re being lied to
9.
Baby Blue 01:54
Baby blue skin born to a place where skin loves race If you could speak to state Would you hate your blueness Why do you shy from smile Baby blue Born to a place It’s not gonna rub off Why do you hate Rub and rub Why do you hate your blueness It’s not coming off Your blueness
10.
I want to grow to the young And cut these wrinkles off I want you to tell me That this means more than defending what I value Or am I standing here for you And what if I defend what I’m saying to you Can I jump into your skin and will I wear you tomorrow And when I look to you I see your stone sore eyes Defending, defending
11.
Crazy Bitter 02:50
The morning after stares in my mirror So crazy bitter So hard to point the finger Sewn to fit expensive puppets That lie so dead I won’t tie and string my life for you I draw these patterns that are so easy to fall into
12.
I broke the skin with my ugliness And threw out billboard love and legs And these bodies that I try and hold onto Just let me go But you know I tried I’m no match for you And these bodies that I try and fit into They don’t look like me But you know I tried for you Without feeling ugly Without feeling at all They don’t look like me These pale faces look on and on Past the pages
