The Amphibious Creed

i walk on earth
i dart for shore
i breathe in water
i wait for more
i circle your head
i crawl on your face
i swim in your ears
which i then debase
less than nothing worth nothing more
less than nothing worth nothing more
less than nothing worth nothing more
less than nothing worth nothing more
less than nothing worth nothing more
less than nothing worth nothing more
less than nothing worth nothing more
less than nothing worth nothing more
feel my power
feel my glee
the water will birth
thousands of me
feel my power
feel my glee
the water will birth
thousands of me
amphibious creed
amphibious creed
amphibious creed
for an amphibian need!

Let me go
You know me
I don't eat
I don't sleep
I grow stiller each day
I have no pulse
I grow rigid in place
My hair, my eyes
Turn ever inward
The meds
The pictures
The ladder steps
Running down my arm
Down my arm
Martyr me
Martyr me
Can you do that for me?
Hear my drawings
See my voice
Touch my grave
Reckon with my choice
I'm done from birth
I wait for the words to let me
Slip off of this earth
Slip out of this room
Leave me, leave me better
Leave me, leave me better
Leave me, leave me better
Leave me, leave me better
Leave me better
Leave me better
Leave me better

Your Eschar
04:19
|

i know your skin like my own
i know your head like the back of my own hand
where will you be
where will you be when i get better?
i want you to know
you're a good friend of mine
good friend of mine
(but I know you less every day)
i know your skin like my own
i know your head like the back of my own hand
where will you be when i get better?
where will you be when i get better?
when you run out of words
i come back in cold light
i am the knife that turns
open sores inside you
say it's dramatic
say it's whatever you want
i'll return when you
need me the least
my flesh
your eschar

When we fall, we fall hard
Every arrow pointing south
When we fail, we fail hard
Laughing all the way down
Don't forget that you can't stay
There are warning signs all over its face
Come back in a box
Come back in a file
I'll make it worth your while
I'll make it worth your while
AHHHHH
We fall
We fall
We fall hard

I am eating you
I rip away your cold flesh
It falls through my hands
Thousand years later
Scientists will find you buried
And they'll thaw you out
You are my remains
My remains
I'll fucking kill you
Get me out of here
I am a shallow grave
You are my remains
A sullen remainder
You wish you could forget
Like a rope from your gut to the earth
Silent witness to the past
Folded and hanging from your ear
Talk about the end times
Talk about the end
What is the worth
Of a broken hand
I'll remember the way you slipped
Through mine
Through mine

i am the fork, i am the socket
and i am the idiot child
and i am the amperes of current
and i am the dust in your hair
i am the fork, i am the socket
and i am the idiot child
and i am the amperes of current
and i am the dust in your hair
go cry
go cry, emo kid
go cry
go cry, emo kid
lie so still you start to grow ferns
sprouting out of your skin
my body immobile
my body immobile
i am the light, i am the day
and i am the end of all things
and i am the blistering morning
and i am the feeling of warning
lie down in your bed
sit up in your closet
and don't touch that fucking pen
don't touch that fucking pen
go cry
go cry, emo kid
go cry
go cry, emo kid
go cry
go cry, emo kid
go cry
go cry
go cry
go cry, emo kid

clean things
make pure
make it gleam
make it work
hard skin
so rough
so rough
not smooth enough
nothing in, nothing out
we were good friends
we used to read together and talk
now she sees the face of god
she read to me
now she stopped with a
shamefaced feeling
that her voice would break again

Simple words hit like a torture rack
And I can't keep coming back for more
I watch this person overhead
Why does he sound just like me?
I can't hear a word of what he says
And you can't help but laugh out of anxiety
I know an anxious smile when it's given to me
I'm used to taking what is given to me
Is there something on his face this time?
Do his eyes look like he just saw somebody die?
You know he never learned the right way to look to you
He wants total control
I want total control
I want total control
I want to pull the levers
I want to push the buttons
I want to tie the hitch
I want to step off my stool
I want to step off my stool

Frog Power Eternal

Born aplenty
Fuck and die alone
Born aplenty
Fuck and die alone
I express my thoughts
Of these thoughtful things
By the first five frets
Of my first three strings
You best believe the rumors
You hear hour after hour
That I say with little humor
I live by sheer frog power
