Missing Stairs

There's a hole in the stairs
That I gave a name
And I know it's face
You let in let remain
There is a place
That I used to go
I caught an endless wave, it blew me away
Now I don't go anymore
I found the end game
A destination
I saw monuments, noose 'round the neck
You still live unrestrained
Grind your teeth to the gum
'Til your jaw goes sore
Keep it tied to your chest
Don't grant forgiveness
You still live unrestrained
Unlearn your old ways

Corridor

Disembodied hands float behind a spineless back
That formless shape vibrates
Flip out of phase, sink in the ether
Wake on my back, stare at the waiting room lights
Cut 2x4 in the foam
8 feet on center, an endless corridor
Had a dream with arms that long once
Reached the knob at the end to find it locked
Bones turn soft and arms to snakes
Turn on me, disintegrate
When I woke read up on architecture
Made a fake scale slightly off, slightly crooked
Held all else to a counterfeit standard
Moved the target on all within arms length
Turn on me, disintegrate
Disintegrate
Pull my hands behind my back
Lock them there
Turn blue and atrophy
Live my life tied at the wrists
Get what I deserve

Lake House Lake House

Saw the tops of your thighs
Saw BVS live
This is a song about living life with an unblinking eye
Drove to Flint in reverse
Drank blood fire first
It starts in a circle, it ends when it hurts
The growth here is reciprocal to what I know
The mirror: see my ego disintegrate, the wire sheared
Pixel, smear, the image blurs, the boundaries unclear
Weekend spent drowsy
Private land in red counties
Just visiting, just for the night
Laugh 'til it hurts
but still in reverse
I could spill onto you like oil on earth
Seep on your tongue
Drop liquid sun
We circled the lake until it was done
Come down slow
Stare at your toes
Caught in a drainage ditch that I call home

It gets hectic
I know, I can feel it let go
Saw your TV
These channels are good to me
Anxiety binding
I can feel your eyes me
Breathe deep and laugh
I can feel it lifting
Lost my place in the
Books you read to feel safe
Eyes full of kind folks
I can feel it let go
Ears full of white noise
I can feel it let go

Aloe Vera

Mean like hotel lobbies, affordable stay
White hot water, chlorine blue
What would soothe you?
Aloe Vera, electron tubes
White noise, quiet hues
Tell me how you nursed the blotter
Spent time working, wound up broke, but I'm no better
Fool's gold, honeymoon
Flannel sheets, unravel me
Does this work for you?
Aloe Vera, electron tubes
White noise, quiet hues
Tell me how you nursed the paycheck
Spent time working, wound up broke
But I'm no better
Long wind, healthy blow off steam
I'm running behind
Drive in circles, always late
Waste all my time

All Red
03:44

Beat the sun up
On a darker day
It's so easy
To feel content and angry
Running red lights
Skipping stop signs
Cut me off, it's okay
Already felt that way
Dan's bags don't make me feel like they used to
So I took the long drive home
Commission work, minimum wage
Heated on the way
I'm not cut out for city driving
The mean commuter does not feel the same

Lived In
03:44
|

|
I'm feeling pretty lived in
All but livid
Dormant status
We've all been helpless
I don't think you think of me the way I think of you
I don't think you think of yourself the way you say you do
Stay gone
Knock it off
Don't sign the lease
Stay home

Lost Patterns
04:08
|
|||
|
Saw your ghost turn away
Left claw marks in the paint
The hallways grow in the morning
They don't ever change
I never get it away
Lost patterns
Don't change
Forget in rings
End where they begin

Gilded Image
03:48
|
|||
|
Lived in a castle
Built by another kind
That old thing crumbles
Symbol of another time
Walls of stucco
Styrofoam underneath
Tricked into thinking
It was ours to keep
Float to the liquor store
Listless, lethargic, anxious
Something wears on me
But this part is easy
Some gilded imagery
Nauseates me
Unlike the floor still shaking
Resonate

You're Better Than This
by Pile

This album fucks as hard as dripping and magic but imo feels the most personal and emotional release of the three. It’s weird and frantic but hits this really interesting balance.
