lyrics

Scream what you want me to be
I'll split in two like a worm
One side that sucks out your breath
One hits the carriage return

Scrawl a screed in squid ink
How, like a bird with no beak,
You can't sustain the energy
to nourish anything

Thrashing like a dog
With its leg in steel jaws
You laid this trap with your eye
There's nothing for me to do
But cry and bleed about it

Predator bares a claw
and all the bees flee the hive
They dance directions to you
I hear a "CLICK-CLICK BOOM"

You make yourself a loaded gun
Making me look straight at what I'm running from
As brilliant as the burning sun
Now my eyes on fire in the light of your One

I watch you make yourself a gun

An ugly thing to do

You write yourself a tale
Where you're destined to fail
Follow the blood to the whale
and rend the fat from its gut
with frenzied thrashing of tail

You float out over the room
Scream "Look what you made me do!"
Camera pans to the aisle
Hungry for action - hungry!

Thrashing like a dog
With its leg in steel jaws
A prisoner in your eye
Limb lashed to cornerless wall
That perfect sphere inside

Predator bares a claw
and all the bees flee the hive
They dance directions to you
They want that sticky goo

You make yourself a loaded gun
Making me look straight at what I'm running from
As brilliant as the burning sun
Now my eyes on fire in the light of your One

I watch you make yourself a gun

An ugly thing to do

You make yourself a loaded gun
Making 'em look straight at what they're running from
As brilliant as the burning sun
And all our eyes on fire in the light of your One

I watch you, precious as they come

I watched you laugh at the roots of a fallen tree
Reaching up, grasping out at the great empty
So I packed your embrace
Into a bruise-black suitcase
