lyrics

how where you there?
in the vintage burnt photograph
they cracked your bones
your knee caps blistering fire
they worshiped the strangers
they met in the graveyard
how are they breathing?
they are thicker than life with their eyes
there are always planned hoaxes at night
seeing eyes

if you alter your mind
and let in the hollow lined
poison you feel
the knowledge you steal

you dress up in black and white
you lose touch your lucid sight
to bring you bad dreams
you try both extremes

and you fall into the captured mountains
you see faces at night in the car
and you feel like there is someone leaving their life behind you

your hands laid on their thighs
old roots from the blood mount rise
the leaves drip sweat into your skin
you taste it with the thought of your own sin

but like pieces of papers you read
(don't forget me)

the trees rip off their limbs
you follow them to limbo
with your self mutilated mind cycle
addicted to something you hated as a boy
you hated as a boy
there are faces in the front of your skull
seeming full

if you alter your mind
and let in the hollow lined
poison you feel
the knowledge you steal

you dress up in black and white
you lose touch your lucid sight
to bring you bad dreams
you try both extremes

and you leave into abandoned art shows
there are angels in the paintings you see
still you feel like there is someone leaving their life behind you

i wish i had been there, in the photograph.
it would be easier if i was behind the lens.
it would be easier if i had your eyes.
but i have the eyes of the first man.
i see only curves and only learn of things i see in books i read,
but if you show me how to be pulled down, i'd focus my ears to a single sound above.
experience change belief.
and i guess i should have gone through that trench with you.
to hold you hand and whisper hymns out loud,
and when the sun came out, i'm sure the ghosts were proud.
and when we came to, we would discuss.
how it felt like someone was leaving their life behind us.
