WICHITA
walk me to the ocean, into Wichita, ah haha
i’m better than you found me, pretty hair and claw ah haha
pulled up salt and dripping clutching to the palm ah haha
pulled me from the wreckage, wellness dangerous, dangerous
ooh, warm water
i’m up on the landing swelling, feeling raw, ah haha
safe like bone and held like it is so precious or rotten
exists only to get them all to make a sound, ah haha
black ink vine you’re crawling, walk it down down down
ooh, warm water
coast to coast
wall to wall
i don’t mind the noise I’ll sleep right through it with the lights on
walk me to the ocean, into Wichita, ah haha
i’m better than you found me, pretty hair and claw ah haha
the beat stops for nobody but it waits for us, ah haha
pulled into the wreckage, wellness dangerous, dangerous

THE PRIZE
when i was mine I clutched at the prize
bad lullaby
pressure and noise in my head
in the back of my mind
but if i set it aside
i’ll send myself into the sky
you get your drugs from all the spoiled doctors
you spill your guts to all the other corpses
When I was mine
melting like fire
choking back on beauty like mine
you’re so lovely, keep going
you’re so tongue-tied
just show me
self-referential
polaroid photo
what are you gonna say?
i eat the pages from your pamphlets, pamphlets

STUNNER
at’s more lonely than the way you move?
if the way out is through i’m the other side of you
like an intruder I am walking through
if the way out is through i’m the other side of you
they want to see you survive just to quit
they’re gonna want you to come down from it
bite with a clean fang
what’s in piles?
the flesh of you
my ghost costume
they want to see you survive just to quit
they’re gonna want you to come down from it
bite with a clean fang
i’m stunned

GRADIENT
does it feel like you’re shivering on dry land?
do you write it off like it’s just another island?
watch yourself the pack moves slowly
it’s my own version of safety
launch me onto the dance floor
launch me onto the dance floor
what comes out of your mouth?
“I’m sure I’m sure I’m sure”
the place you burn alone
this place you’ve burned alone
i could be your contour, be anything you wanna be
i could take a little more, leave whatever’s left in me
next to me
read Grapefruit in the burning sand
perform 'Cannon Piece'
you veer too close and i start trembling
watch yourself the pack moves slowly
it’s my own version of safety
launch me onto the dance floor
launch me onto the dance floor
i’ll gather your hair in my hands
color in the lines in your hand
who said you could take it?
who said i can’t build to break it?
i made this it’s mine it’s mine
i made this it’s mine it’s mine, oh
the place you burn alone
this place you’ve burned alone
i could be your contour, be anything you wanna be
i could take a little more, leave whatever’s left in me

DOUBLE VISION
neon queen, the creator
human structure or human treasure
tourist at the punk show
take a picture in the ultra meadow
like the press jammed with fabric
i am filled with more than just dye
like you won pretty in a landslide
I am filled with more than dirt and big cry
so hot it isn’t just a fever
it isn’t even your best rumor rumor
your birthday party in the basement
material piled on the mantel
double vision’s got your head all see through
tongue like ribbons and your eyes like perfume
so hot it isn’t just a fever
it isn’t even your best rumor rumor
tell me who crushed the palette into the carpet
me
party, party, party, party

NICE TRY
sleep hard, eat well, cheat death, stay home
why not? we are
more share, less prey
don’t you know they like it?
touch this, it’s softest
nice try
choke choke choke, you’re over the edge
dull glow for pest trap
you’re caught til you’re extinct
the loyalist gone down with the ship
saying oh well what do you think?
what do you think?
hey! hey! hey! hey!
take it in small bites
inhale like cobra
hey you hey you hey you
sleep hard , eat well , cheat death, stay home
why not? we are
dull glow for pest trap you’re caught til you’re extinct
give me drugstore shadows so I can make up my mind
what do you think?
choke choke choke, you’re over the edge
first try and I’ll win it all

EAVESDROPPING
i was the cloudy prairie
wind-whipped, kicked up silent dust, electric
powered down, cupped in your palm
drip through
are you proud right now or hesitant?
if no one watches than no one sees
melt like a manicure in hell
you’re shifting, eavesdropping on the carousel
the cut across the landscape
the carsick makeup
the guests are waiting here relentless
if no one watches than no one sees
your mouth to the mirror or a see through twin
your stomach aches but you’re sucking it in
your mouth to the mirror or a see through twin
your stomach aches but you’re sucking it in

FINE GRIND
i want the gilded combat gone
measured in the palest blush
buried in a spectrum
controversy what’s the problem
healthy and compliant for identifying
when they are both in my room
hear you bangin on the blank wall
take me inside when the static divides
it’s not clean but it’s got a good view
no one tied to the other side
victory to congratulate
no appetite but a whole pile of cake
healthy and compliant for identifying
when they are both in my room
I hear you bangin on the blank wall
take me inside when the static divides
it’s not clean but it’s got a good view
visionary or bad vision
you’re telling me
i fly into the light to die
fly into the light to die
die die die

BACKLIT
pretend to look busy
but you’re wide-eyed and you're clinging to the balcony
you are backlit
You aren’t dreaming
difficult ridin on a real wave
difficult pushin on your wild take
difficult putting it under your tongue
when it’s dirty when it’s what you really want
try to be noisy
but you’re so damp the sound just soaks through everything
i’m aching
cuz you cut the line that cuts right through me
what’s the cost when I don’t feel free
the entrance fee’s my see-through body
you are backlit
you aren’t dreaming
difficult ridin on a real wave
difficult pushing on your wild take
difficult putting it under your tongue
when it’s dirty, when it’s what you really want
you really want a clean laundry romance
ooh sha la la la la la
you’re backlit, you aren’t dreaming
there’s this hollywood around me
