lyrics

scrambling your way
through rocks in the road
morally fraught by
waves
maybe we know
nothing to
keep you here for longer than

you must be sick to see me that way
you must be sick to see me that way

when i found you
under split wood
i thought i could make a pact with my tree roots
but we left and we fell out
i thought it would be divine

don't you go counting rings
when i
have nothing inside
don't you go counting rings
when i
have nothing to incise

scrambling your way
through cracks in the road
wandering through moral loopholes
scrambling your way
through rocks on our road
scrambling your way
through moral loopholes

we had so much extra cotton
we picked so much for your rotten souls
for your rotten souls and i

i've fallen
i've traveled to
plains of ohio
and i knew nothing could be salvaged
i have savagery in my blood
i'm sorry if i take it out on your shoulder blades

with my emotional motion-sensors
i have become senseless under your gaze

tear me down
make me crown
tear it down
give me a crown

in mercury i've found the most truth in my mind
we are meant to destroy your hope again
constant cycles
cyclical tears of acid rain

maybe this day i'll make you change
maybe we can become the rebellion?

but i can't foresee it—
and i can't forbid you from being
your ordinary, evolutionary self.

but desire clouds your ability to save the world
don't you agree?
the clicking of your tongue
tears away at mine
i've scratches on my tastebuds now

you've left me with infections of
skin in my mouth
you shoved it

and i'm taking back the forest again

the natives are around
they're watching from the eyes you left in the trees
from carving away at land mines

i can't be your excuse
i'm umbilicized behind my own claims

sordid and full
is my only wish for you

sorted in fall and scattered in winter
we gave up what
we knew could be yours

sorted in fall and scattered in winter
we gave out the rules to a new game keeper.
