1.
Profit meets the promise of the holy Will you find god in time? The streets are littered with blind dogs carrying the thawing snakes The numb brothers lie, rusting away Cast away, salt will not heal the snakes Swim in but stay on the warpath Rust away, keep warm and pray for rain Silence and middle fingers, built by the holy leaders Profits that start out right turn into bottom feeders Days of old, preserve that new sound You can't stay stuck Days of new, you'll miss that old sound it sucks your soul It's too bright out I don't know if I lost god or if he lost me All the fires I've started remind me of nothing To lose sight, that's the fast way to die Stay numb, stay simple The bones break as I'm forced to leave Enjoy your time, stay moving The sharp cage cuts deep
2.
Your language is mine and together we share something beautiful Today is too bright just to follow the sun without losing that pale blue You're promising nothing but fucking flowers and broken cages declining on the bedroom floor Stop chasing the snakes and run with the dogs Stay locked in your closet, stay tired for so long It's too early and bright just to follow the sun Too wet in the east, too dry in the west All good things come to an end I lose if I leave, I lose if you leave All good things come to sad endings To love all of the old pretty songs Born with a broken compass and rust in the knees To love all the pretty songs as I pass through the heat Tired and shameless and boring, nothing is real To learn from your fathers who taught to burn everything
3.
I used to sleep now I don't Long western roads lead to home Where did the keys to your west home go? Life with no meaning has no purpose There's no where to stay warm or even numb Focused on the future and trying not to lose sight Cut the legs off your brothers Cut the arms off your fathers Learn to forget Thrive on this pale blue coast Nothing inside you moves, nothing inside you is real Too many cages and not enough truth The two furthest points on the floor are wasted with the cage The flowers bloom but the colors fade away Most roads won't bring you back (There was a time that one would lose hope running from the two furthest points instead of following the sun. He said to rise early to catch the long western roads before the smiling bride) Here is the time that says you lose if you leave Now is the time that you will thrive on this pale blue coast Cut the arms off your fathers Cut the legs off your brothers
4.
The sharp cage cuts deep That cold sound won't sleep Set fire, burn everything Forget after this week Do what you can, stay young, stay simple, stay numb This time do what you know This is the progress This is the process of staying simple Do what you can Your language acts as your turf is the holy land Do me a favor, and try to get some sleep But don't remember Saturday, just try to disappear As your language is simple through your mother's eyes We're miserable when air gets cold Everybody cries
