heaven in her headphones sounds like sisters whispering god is love and love is in her ears every peak and valley of the ripples in the stream shimmering like angels might appear who are you to interrupt so beautiful a girl (who are you to try) lyin' in the grass without a worry in the world (who are you to love) watchin' rabbits whales and monkeys float across the sky (who are you to live) with heaven in her headphones and no consequences weighin' on her mind flowers dance and maple branches bendin' in the wind music's all that matters now 'cause music's all there is who are you to interrupt so beautiful a girl (who are you to try) lyin' in the grass without a worry in the world (who are you to love) watchin' rabbits whales and monkeys float across the sky (who are you to live) with heaven in her headphones and no consequences weighin' on her mind her mind is clear for the first time in years and so she sings hallelujah

Pieces 03:16
pull me into pieces i don't wanna be cohesive just an echo on the breezes blowing by quietly expressing nothing more and nothing less than how the welling in my chest had risen higher than my cries were able to climb popped another pill but i don't want be a villain so this victory is filling me with shame dove into the drink until my memories would sink but my ability to think was washed away i'm sorry you ever knew my name so elevated above the sheets of freezing rain you know it's never gonna end so let the pieces fall away the wind is breathing at least your family pull me back to pieces i don't wanna be cohesive just an echo on the breezes blowing by

pretty face what amazing heat with which we fight like we were effigies carved from one another scattered drunk dust to dust the ashes you ignite like i was dead to you spilt upon the covers of a lonely little bed until we meet again remember how it felt like comets melting over you such a fool to do what you have done this stupid burial in spider webs relentless caught again the biting fly you've shown yourself to be with eyes too scratched by silk to see it in the mirrors that you shattered over me until we meet again remember how it felt like comets in the sky above everybody else like shelter from the storm on the other side of night but comets fade 'cause the sun rose on the path you chose to take until we meet again remember how it felt like comets in the sky above everybody else like shelter from the storm on the other side of night like comets melting

fatal read the signs on the borders yellow blue red green and white fiery like a man and a woman burnin' bridges every night all the woods abuzz then my head went swimming like the order was stronger than i fetal in your hands for a reason crack me open i don't care fallen from a sky full of fever spilling lightning everywhere all the woods abuzz then my head went swimming like the order was stronger than all reason five points conquered us then my head went swimming like the order was stronger than i maybe they cursed us all lying in bed with our heads full of negative signals from that star in the east with the devilish light all the woods abuzz then my head went swimming like the order was stronger than all reason five points conquered us then my head went swimming like the order was stronger than i

oh not a soul with strength like his will come to lift our weak and weary bones hey like the birds we'll spread our wings and span the void with height enough to make our voices heard here in our skin the trap was set so long ago it's where we've always been now in our prime the branches of a northern wood are going to deliver us tonight even when the snow was fallin' how i loved our failures up and down the streets we learned how worst to raise a family now we're both just lyin' here upon our broken backs what a fuckin' mess we got ourselves into this time oh how the smoke will billow golden hey when the temple is explodin' oh and the breezes quell the fire hey when the order has expired

turnin' to satan and turnin' to salt a lot was just fate but the rest was your fault lyin' with lions in needly sand spiders all thirstin' the blood of the lamb and i wanted to save you but nothing was real except for the rise of the sun fires witnessed and the sky wept a pillar of songbirds sickles and sunflowers know how you feel the dizzyin' whirl of ezekiel's wheels the buzzin' of bees' wings that swim in your spine the flappable curse of reversible eyes and i wanted to save you but nothing was real except for the rise of the sun fires witnessed and the sky wept a pillar of songbirds

and though your feet may hurt on pebbles when you walk until your teeth might hurt like knives you'll know the colors of the petals in the yard until they saturate the sky when it explodes you'll be in trouble no grace to justify the crime black policies dissolved your dreams and now you're bleeding red between the ground and something else you might as well believe that heaven is a place you'll ever see with all the starry in your eyes somewhere above the crush of branches in between king jove and sirius tonight when it explodes you'll be in trouble no grace to justify the crime black policies dissolved your dreams and now you're bleeding red between the ground and something else

The Temple 00:43

orphan sticks and heavy bricks hit the earth disturbin' the order so haul the axis back around into branches our enemies fallin' they'll find us out in a field sunflowers under our heels black powder staining our tongues while we float into oblivion every piece so delicate the wind is love like water was icicles orphan sticks don't need to grieve the squirrel's in heaven forever believin' they'll find us out in a field sunflowers under our heels black powder staining our tongues while we float into oblivion

Bird Music 03:56
who're you gonna believe me or mysterious creatures pickin' away at the trash lyin' alone on a roadside maybe you'll fall from a tree onto the grass like sunrise again and again and again it's late and my eyes are tired
