We move as one with high school hearts, feed wild geese, and learn the art of flying formations. We marry storks when we are young. They give us wings, we trade them thumbs and begin our migration... Cross-cat to the black path. Cross-cat to the black path. Cross-cat to the black path farm. Nobody knows our troubled joys. We kill the text to save the voice of our whole generation. Kill the Text, Save the Voice. The black path leaves no other choice but to end the temptation. Cross-cat to the black path. Cross-cat to the black path. Cross-cat to the black path farm. Whip your arms like roller derby daisy chains of love and hate. Whip your arms like roller derby daisy chains of love and hate. Whip your arms like roller derby daisy chains of love and hate. Whip your arms like roller derby daisy chains of love and hate. Cross-cat to the black path. Cross-cat to the black path. Cross-cat to the black path farm.

SEE YOURSELF AS A BABY GIRL OR BOY. WHEN YOU ASKED TO BE BORN INTO THIS LIFE, WHAT EXACTLY DID YOU ASK FOR? OUR BABY IS THE SKY AND THE SKY'S BABY ARE WE. WE ONLY WISH THE CLOUDS WOULD LEAVE THE TWO OF US TO BE. NESTING HERE WITH MONSTERS MADE OUR NAME. WHAT WAS A WORTHY JOURNEY TURNED INTO A STUPID GAME. WE RARELY DREAM ABOUT NATURE ANYMORE; ONCE STRANDED IN THE JUNGLE, AND NOW WE'RE ALWAYS LOST IN SCHOOLS AND STORES. WE'RE BALLS OF ENERGY, NOT BAGS OF CHEMICALS. FOR MOST OF US THE DRUGS STOPPED WORKING LONG AGO. WHEN EVERYTHING IN NATURE SPIRALS DOWN, WE'LL RIDE THE WILD RIVERS FLOWING UNDERNEATH THIS TOWN.

CONCERNING NAMING CHILDREN AND THE ASCENSION OF US ALL WE ARE CALLING HER ANDROMEDA THIS FALL. CONCERNING NAMING CHILDREN, FORKED ANIMALS AND FOOLS, WE ARE CALLING HIM HIERONYMUS IN JEWELS. OUR NAME IS OUR HOME, OUR NAME IS OUR HOME. BE HERE, BE GONE OUR SWEET ANDROMEDA. OUR NAME IS OUR HOME, OUR NAME IS OUR HOME. BE HERE, BE GONE OUR SWEET HIERONYMUS. ROAM.

It's a sleepy toy on a haunted bed I often think it's churchyard dead It's a dear, dear beast with a rose red crown It's something lost. It's something found. Lost creatures land with their wings on fire Lost creatures land with their nerves exposed Lost creatures land at the stroke of midnight Homeless drifters and shapeshifters (Sleep in us, sleep on us, sleep in us, sleep on us.) It's the wounded wind and a first aid dove It's the afterlife of the underloved. It's the perfect shape for a missing piece It's a Christmas shootout with police. This world unfurled from your heart to a girl, now suddenly it's the oyster's pearl. This globe unfolds round the boy that ya hold but suddenly half the bed lays cold.
