drag me through the stars
kill me beneath the sun
burn my burning throat
brighten my shining eyes
i'm deliriously sick
yet the sky seems so clear
the stars are with me
the moon is in me
i walk into this sunny room
and the sun goes away
burn my burning throat
brighten my shining eyes
i'm deliriously sick
yet the sky seems so clear
the stars are with me
the moon is in me
out in the clouds
down in the fields
down in the clouds
up in the fields
i'm deliriously sick
yet the sky seems so clear
the stars are with me
the moon is in me
i'm deliriously sick
yet the sky seems so clear
the stars are with me
the moon is in me

the government owns me,
and all the trees
why can't i just go away and live
my life in the woods
and it's so easy to take for granted
that the meat we eat
was once a living thing
all provided for us
at cheap cost
we're not truly free
born as government - property
we're not truly free
born as government - property
thinking about,
while listening to trucks drive through the rain;
it's amazing how far
the moral code
can vary from human to human
and at the end of the day we're all just animals
so eat up
get your fill
there be fat savages running the mill
there's a wolf spider in the kitchen,
oh lord please quit your bitchin'
we're not truly free
born as government - property
we're not truly free
born as government - property

they dragged me
to the plank
they drove spikes through my wrists
and then the reptiles feasted upon my flesh
peel, peel away my false face
peel, peel away my false face
i could feel it all
half alive inside my mind
then the carrion birds came and picked my bones
peel, peel away my false face
peel, peel away my false face
come with me,
scales wearing thin
serpentine hands reaching out for me
i was drawn to this spot, in the desert
out in the desert
peel, peel away my false face
peel, peel away my false face
cuts on my hands, infect them
all of your gods, reject them
cuts on my hands, infect them
all of your gods, reject them
peel, peel away my false face
peel, peel away my false face
peel, peel away my false face
peel, peel away my false face
peel, peel away my false face
peel, peel away my false face
peel, peel away my false face

The Winter Desert

1:
i don't always know which way to go
it's oh so cold, but it's nice to be home
i miss the sun
i miss the sand
oh oh the desert is gone
oh oh the desert is gone
until we meet again
the salt and the sand and the salt and the sand
i'm gonna quit shaving my beard
i can't wait to make my return
like paying the bills on the first day they're due
2:
see things from the corner of my eye
spend my whole life getting left behind
forever searching
for cheap sunglasses
and flannel shirts that i have to try and hide
so i set my alarm for 10:05, because +5 minutes is better than none
i am the rocks and the mountain
guitar's been broken since i started this,
but not so broken that i can't play my songs
i always hated silverfish coming for me
i hope i live to see the day
where people find meaning in these bullshit songs
3:
ohohohoh
it's hot
and i'm kinda paranoid
the insects inside my mind
they crawl on my skin
sometimes i feel like my future's getting ripped right away from me before my eyes
i've said it before, now i'll say it again
throw my body in the fire when i'm dead
i've said it before, now i'll say it again
throw my body in the fire when i'm dead
4:
i don't have anyone, i can really trust
you can come and go
if you must
and sometimes it seems so easy
from the outside looking in
behind the blinds
sit and watch the people go by on this sunny sunday
you were supposed to be
the winter with me
the chorus for january came to me
in a dream
5:
ohohohoh
look up and all you'll see is me
i'm the god you always hoped there would be
i said it before, all the reptiles were coming for me
the light above
the horizon
the power lines buzz at night
foxes cross the road
i hope they're going home
6:
my dad died when i was young
it's not really something that i tell anyone
the truth is i don't think i'm that sad about it anymore
so i'll put it in a song where nobodies listening
the green leaves are budding
the forest comes to life
flowers growing, flowers budding
and i'm alright
i'm dead i'm dead
i am the end
i'm dead i'm dead
i am the end
7:
ohohohoh
oh the weeks go by and i'm motionless
and the months go by and i'm emotionless
i'll burn these shooting stars into my heart
i'll carve these shooting stars into my flesh
I may be in denial,
but "i'm doing really good"
started regretting recording this song
seven or so verses ago
come with me, down the rabbit whole
8:
look at me, look at me
i'm a sucker for the desert and a girl who can sing
look at me, look at me, look at me
grave robbing your body
my head is on fire
in the end i'm just a cynical bitch, i'm sorry
oh the carrion birds, they were coming for me
out in Arizona
throw witch hazel in my cactus eyes
and i'm moving to the desert someday soon
9:
ohohohoh
i write music about nature, and passing time
i'm always ripping out little pieces of me
one at a time
down on the rocks
the winter desert
down on the rocks
the winter desert
i was out in the desert, feeling fine
the vultures ripping out little pieces of me
one at a time
down on the rocks
the winter desert
down on the rocks
the winter desert
10:
growing old by the mountain, growing cold
pass over me like the bruised apple at the store
i don't think i want to be here anymore
i don't think i want to be here, on this shelf anymore
tell me your story, and i'll tell you mine
i'm dead to me
but i feel fine
throw my sunglasses in the fire because it's over,
it's fucking over
i'd rather be out in the desert

Warm Water Look
03:03

take me there,
take me away
i swear i've never been there but i know where it is
oh come on
warm water look,
i'm down in the brook
warm water look,
i'm down in the brook
warm water look,
i'm down in the brook
warm water look,
i'm down
i was walking through the brush
he came up to me and said "well what's it gonna be"
and i said "mother fucker, mother fucker you don't even know me"
just leave the desert be
warm water look,
i'm down in the brook
warm water look,
i'm down in the brook
warm water look,
i'm down in the brook
warm water look,
i'm down
body in the cold but mind in the desert
with the flowers
mind in the desert
with the flowers
i am a machine
but i think i'm more reptilian than man
i said it before,
all the reptiles were coming for me
i said "hey well it was nice to be"
warm water look,
i'm down in the brook
warm water look,
i'm down in the brook
warm water look,
i'm down in the brook
warm water look,
i'm down in the brook
warm water look,
i'm down in the brook
warm water look,
i'm down

Wendigo
03:38
|

after a fresh rain
the moss on the trees glows green
the water drops fall from the branches,
the rain on the branches
i see the birdmen over there
i see the birdmen everywhere
wendigo in me,
wendigo in me
the evil in me
wendigo in me,
wendigo in me
the evil in me
i see the fog
my vision sways, like a ship at sea
walk on the creaking boards
inside my mind
wax as red as blood,
i am the iron in the air
wax as red as blood,
the morning stars to guide us
spring winds wash over me
spring winds wash over me
the sparrow in flight
the sparrow in flight
stand up to fast
and i see the stars
they're so far away
i see the wormmen over there
i see the wormmen everywhere
wax as red as blood
wendigo in me,
wendigo in me
i am the iron in the air
the evil in me
wax as red as blood
wendigo in me,
wendigo in me
the morning stars to guide us
the evil in me
wax as red as blood
wendigo in me,
wendigo in me
i am the iron in the air
the evil in me
wax as red as blood
wendigo in me,
wendigo in me
the morning stars to guide us
the evil in me

salt in my eyes
salt on my skin,
salt in my mind
i've said it before, i'll say it again
throw my body in the fire, when i'm dead
there's a man walking through the brush
oh wait it was just some sticks
i'm skipping rocks down the mountain
skipping rocks down the mountain
down the mountain
i've said it before, i'll say it again
throw my sunglasses in the fire, when i'm dead
blisters on my feet start to bleed
throw my body in the desert, when i'm dead
throw my body in the fire, when i'm dead
throw my sunglasses in the fire, when i'm dead
throw my body in the desert, when i'm dead
