lyrics

She's stuck in a psychotic trance..
Abandoned her soul in the houses of France
Won't you look at her provincial dance?
Just yearning for her advance
Branches sprouting from her wounds
This is a scene from a 1960s cartoon
You look at yourself and you see the moon
Cooking powder by the spoon

After leaving for clearlake waters
I went looking for owls and abandoned sea otters
It's really you in the woods
It's really you, so stay hydrated

I ain’t scared of losing you
just got this feline fear
that when I look, won’t see you. Hear
a cat that’s dying yet so livid and alive
Branches sprouting from her cuts
What can you see with eyes wide shut?
With this kind of narcoleptic strut
Won't be able to leave this rut

So pure that rhymes don't work anymore
So senseless like a hunting carnivore
It's really you in the woods
It's really you, hungry for blood

Drenched in the nest, can't dry off
Trying to cool down, so desperate..
Thick searing hot liquid,
Concentrated, no 2% up here
They say the message isn't clear
But nothing good ever comes easy
Muddy waters, murky daughters in the ritual
Skyline to where?
I asked and I heard a prayer. It went
“It's really you in the woods
It's really you so take a dip
In salty seas and clearest lakes..
It's really you in the jungle,
Queen of the beasts and the insects,
Find what it is you are looking for
Even if you are not looking at all
It's really you in the swamp
It's really you, so stay hydrated”
Drenched
With eyes wide shut, the vision dims
With eyes wide open, sinner without sins

Evening, morning, and noontime, I speak and moan, and He hearkened to my voice
Entangled in the marches with dead Mary and Joseph
We drink the blood of Christ we eat the body of Lucifer
Oh rage from lights from above, we sing it with love
Through the chemtrails, we see the eyes of God
In pressed pills in the shape of a cross
Not all is lost. We are drenched yet dying of thirst
This party's bad but I've seen worse
The seeds burst from persimmons and other exotic fruit
Squish it from under your boot. And inject the heat rises with every breath
Hard to say if I'm right when there's no one left
Tallest buildings of the world, widest arcs of the covenant
Maturity immaturity delusions of grandeur crashing of the ego
The id is imploding the love is eternal the fire is eternal
We ascend then descend then don't land the fall
with brains splattered gray matter all over the pavement and the wall

And we're free

Free to dance
Free to sing
Free to fuck up everything
Our Father who art in heaven,
hallowed be thy name
Thy kingdom come
Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven
Give us this day our daily bread,
deliver us from evil
We are dying of thirst
