Walking hurts without shoes
No shoes
Walking hurts with em too
Stingo's are coming
He's dead

Catch a Rat
03:26
|

I walk down the street to prove a point
I don't doubt a single word I say
I know I'm probably plenty loud
Cause sentences I can't conjugate
I walk circles inside my brain
I don't doubt a single word I say
I know I'm probably plenty loud
I miss the part where I admit mistake

Corpses Orbit

All aboard the Corpses Orbit
Bodies all around the Corpses Orbit
Why you running from the Corpses Orbit
All aboard, all aboard
Been adrift so long don't know where I'm going
Is it getting bright outside or is it snowing?
All I've got to see is a two by four window
All I've got to see is a two by four
All aboard the Corpses Orbit
Bodies all around the Corpses Orbit
Why you running from the Corpses Orbit
All aboard, all aboard
Seven years I've rode the shattered light
Seven years fore I found you
Slumped there not the conversational type
Office says ''Don't mix with the crew''
All aboard the Corpses Orbit
Bodies all around the Corpses Orbit
Why you running from the Corpses Orbit
All aboard, all aboard

Stingo
04:17
|
|||
Through the trees, deep in the snow
I hear them through the wind, these wild nomads
I think I'm standing on frozen blood
Now the way I see it, as far as I can see
Death's a given, so it seems
Cause an eye for an eye, after twelve more miles
That's a privilege we won't see
See the man coming for me
Got a Stingo's thirst for blood
These beasts are hungry
and a father lost his son
Where is my boy?
Where is my boy?
No such thing as Stingo's mercy
Where is my boy?

A Judge's Eye
03:56
|

What do we have here boys?
Caught me a gun running rat
What do we have here boys?
I think Sheriff Podley's caught a rat
See I like you Wichita
A crack shot from nothing at all
See the problem is Wichita
That shot found my boy
I care not if it was you or that Murk beast
I don't care if it was some disgraced fool
A bullet pierced my son's eye
And broke through the back wall
Three days I mourned, Wichita
Day One I cried
Day Two I said nothing at all
then Day Three arrived
That day I killed nine different men
next day fourteen more
Each one got me closer to you
Some old man made twenty four
When I'm done with you Wichita
I'll put an axe through the birdman's chest
I'll strangle the wild beast
I wanna hear the maggot mutt squel
As for you poor Wichita, well I ain't quite sure
What was it you did to my boy? Shot him dead in the eye?
I'll make you see the world same as I do
A little bit dark and a lot more blind

Dust of Old Stones
03:48
|

Fear not a thing in this hole of dust
I'll take you home to pick the weeds of my making
I am your father, the one to whom you pray
I'm the one who made your night and day
Be calm. Close your eyes. I would never tell a lie
Nothing here but the breath of old crones
Nothing here but the dust of old stones
Dust of old stones
Can't hear the voices
In time you learn to stalk
A child is taught to speak before it walks
Why have teeth if not to eat with?
Why a tongue if not to speak with?
Take my hand you know you need it
Through the breathing hole we walk
What you think I wouldn't notice?
What you think I wouldn't know?
Can't hear the voices
Can't hear the voices calling out
No getting out
Never getting out

The Witch
04:08
|

I met a witch last night
Won't you hold me?
I met a witch last night
Says she knows me
woo
Out of detritus she does jitter
All bones and hair, vomit, glitter
Earwig shaped confetti in her hair
I see her stumble, I claw my eyes, feel them crumble
Missing children's blushes in her stare

Little Dear
04:24
|
|||
What do we have here?
Well
What do we have here?
A little dear
Don't be scared
I got food
In my lair
What do we have here?
Oh god now I'm wading through the mud, it's getting kinda dark and this isn't very fun
Oh no they've caught me by the trees, they've got me by the throat and they're clawing at my knees
I know I'll be buried in the mud, all I'll feel is cold and I'll never see the sun
So stupid I ain't never should've left, the hangman approaches so soon I'll be dead.

Gilbert's Dead
03:03
|
|||
From a lamp left idle, rises the apparition
If he walks, even as a ghost, then he cannot be dead
And when his corpse fell amongst the dust, a broken display of old bone and soft soul
They called to him, but know that hole which broke heart and stone, took him at once
The body they burned, and at the fire they remained, until the smoke had died too
And as her cackle fades and the hangman departs for the stars, left they are as they began, the Wanderer, the Beast and the Fool.
