Be it specter or spirit I will call its name so we can disappear it You look so brave If it looks really scary I'll stare it in the eyes If you double dare me I'm not afraid I'll wear a brave face If it gets us through this place I'm not afraid of ghosts, I think it's you I fear the most If your lantern should die out I've got a book of matches that we could try out You look so cold Now I feel a bit uneasy I keep taking looks behind Did I hear breathing? I'm not afraid I'll wear a brave face If it gets us through this place I'm not afraid of ghosts, I think it's you I fear the most Oh my gods it is real This whispering presence I feel I'm so drawn to the light eternity, forever, after life Mortal man I'm proof that this surface world is as thin a thing as glass Mortal girl evading my world I claim hold your immortal soul Oh my body is so thin It's cold as ice therein Permeable I know transparent as a mason jar a window I'm so afraid

All the goddesses will fight For my sacrifice At my alter they will bend, Break, weep, admit defeat Become secular This is my private Worship My morning ritual consists Of creating a list of the girls I haven't kissed Of listing all the loves I haven’t woken up beside Oh please tonight, please tomorrow morning This is my private Worship So far I feel as constant as a soap bar lately I feel like half of you might hate me When my intentions Are true All my efforts seem to Fall through It’s getting so old Boy, Do I miss the girls in Coarsegold A little desperate goes a long long Way

I fear nothing more than this tired aching worm-wrought floor It sags when you weight the boards on parchment two-by-fours I can suspend all animation In and all around me so nothing moves around me I want nothing less than this tired achy cold conquest It chills like a cold compress Put pressure on this mess I'd lock you up if the parts weren't frozen In and all around me so nothing moves around me All our homes rot

You didn't invite me to your 90's high school party. Are your parents out of town? Would you get grounded if they found out? Potato guns, light sabers What happened to party favors? You still had favors out, but they're nothing to brag about. Watching you two go up the stairs is hard Now how will you maintain order in the backyard? What kind of hostess leaves her guests unattended? I made that call with all my most sincere intentions You didn't include me in your 90's teenage movie You'll play the leading role Make-believe you have a soul Your guests are all decaying the neighbors are complaining it They wither to the ground and you're nowhere to be found It's the surest sign that the party's doomed when all your friends start dying in the living room. Come look come quick Oh no You don't want to hear what you're doing wrong mix these drinks, be social, put some music on I'm bound forever, through and through I'll bet I love you more than your parents do.

Firecracker Kid Don't speak up until your fuse is lit You hold more sway over the everyday thrill seeking crowd via the threat of the loud loud loud Crack of your shrapnel release I'll love you endlessly as I reassemble you piece by piece Come on, Lynn don't come off Come on, Lynn Woah, my god I'm a single cyclical cell damned eternal, eternally damned to cylindrical hell The light through your pristine windshield alone with the night and the past and the spectral moon Please miss me like I mean to miss you alone with the night and the past and the spectral moon Misuse me like I'm meant to misuse alone with the night and the past and the spectral moon Alone with the night and the past and the spectral moon Alone with the night and the past and the spectral moon

What on Earth are you doing with the book of the dead? The Necronomicon's not meant to be handled so lightly What on Earth is that unearthly tome doing above hell? The Necronomicon's not meant to be dealt with so carelessly What on Earth are you doing reciting such verse? The Necronomicon's not meant to be read from so leisurely What on Earth are you doing casting such spells? The Necronomicon's not meant to be utilized so irresponsibly Goblin scrawl is the easiest spell of all the ones I know You'll regret the day that you scanned that first page I know I'm not at all impressed with your self-proclaimed resourcefulness No What's dead is dead and the living are just subletters

Let's do it big for Jared Today's his birthday he doesn't ask for much god knows Acres and acres of cakers for Jared I think he's at the neighbor kids' Let's decorate all secretive what will we shout when he walks in? Jared What did you get Jared? For his birthday? He didn't ask for much, I know. Just controllers to play with his brothers cause their C-Sticks are all broke I simply want the best for him I’m so proud to be his friend No boy so bright should burn so dim Jared Let's do it big for Jared

I hope we grow old together One heart, one throat Sewn together I find it hard to describe my dependency My goddess, my light, my love My infinity I hope we grow old together One heart, one throat Sewn together How many errors can we make In these twilight hours Whatever the shape we call forth I will call it ours I hope we grow old together One heart, one throat Sewn together Triage Who’s first? My wounds hurt the worst My wounds hurt the Worst of all these lacerations So lace me up Triage Who’s first? My wounds hurt the worst My wounds hurt the Worst of all these lacerations So lace me up

I rode past My steed, Stained Glass held steadfast to our projected path and still, ensnared by theoretical thrills God knows I don't know What to worry about Hitching post bound, a maple we found. No inn for us, thanks. We sleep on the ground 'neath stars. Night's eyes sing in chorus with ours. They go, Giddy up giddy up giddy up ha ha Oooooh I'm thinking this company is merely not the sort for me. They're frightenin', always flipping over tables and fightin'. I'm more keen on a good time, if you don't like me well then that's just fine, I'm walkin' away I don't wanna pick a fight today Hitchin' post bound, a buddy I found. I'll help you up off of the dusty ground, it's not hard. Let's go drink and play cards. Rootin' Tootin', Shootin' the breeze, Let's never run out of our excess ease, it's simple. That saddles my steeple, that horse is my temple. I'm not afraid of that man But I'm not the biggest fan. It's not like of scared of that guy I'd just as soon be walkin' by. Tell me it's alright, When it certainly is not Tell me we got away When we get caught Tell me I can stay when I have to go And, when there's nothing left, tell me what I own.

This will sound insane, last night a beacon of light took my powers away Projected through my parents’ house it found me asleep in my room Bounced off my skull, off my headboard, then off towards the moon By this spell I’ll slip between and Swallow the distance Oh, you’re not impressed No Earthly spell can penetrate The layers of anti-fantastical material defenses I must sound insane, But I know the space between planets like knowing a name Armed with a sextant and compass, I’ll find what it means to be brave Pretend that I’m brash, I’m courageous When I’m just afraid I will conquer space, I’ll dine on the substance of starlight and forget your face You’ll look at the sky in the nighttime Unblinkingly search for a sign wait for the first falling star and then go back inside Cast this spell and slip beyond All your inhibitions Oh, you’re not impressed No Earthly spell can scrape away That layers of anti-fantastical material defenses I’m not impressed By the way you steel yourself against me I’m not impressed By your defensive capabilities I’m not impressed I’ll break you down Into your component parts I’ll measure every aspect Of this former heart That sad old light My satellite
