Lyrics

[Verse 1] A salty ring of night fatigue When I get, get, get the sweats from you listenin' Primordial cymatics givin' birth into reverse Serrated mare ephemera undo her mother's curse [Refrain 1] So if you break me a mirror Hang the broken pieces of a place that isn't real So if you don't hide that guilty smile, condolences won't go away [Verse 2] The coins you bring left footprints, blind thirst and Braille liquor My bed is stained with fractures year after vitiated year Four corners you are touching, they will liberate my need Bite marks in the menagerie with infidelic teeth [Refrain 1] So please break me a mirror Hang the broken pieces of a place that isn't real So if you don't hide that guilty smile, condolences won't go away [Bridge 1] Is there somethin' out there waitin' to take hold When that whore won't answer who is in control? And the names you planted drop the seed into a hole And the names you planted drop the seed into a hole If you force me often, I might jump off the board [Chorus] I am a deaf con of angora goats Warnin' you all who pass this mote It's only a matter of foldin' time and space Before I become your epidemic Is this your first time at my conventicle? You better not talk if you came here for semantics It's only a matter of foldin' time and space Before I become your epidemic [Guitar Solo] [Bridge 2] Don't ignore my presence, hidden reads the scroll By the time I asked her, the earth fell off the tongue What once was laughter, corrosive I became What once was laughter, corrosive I became Where a scarlet bruise grows, sprout the fault we own [Chorus] I am a deaf con of angora goats Warning you all who pass this mote It's only a matter of foldin' time and space Before I become your epidemic Is this your first time at my conventicle? You better not talk if you came here for semantics It's only a matter of foldin' time and space Before I become your epidemic [Refrain 2] (Is the safety that you feel from the witness who has been hiding in the wings?) Don't hide your guilty freight, condolences won't go away (Is the safety that you feel from the witness who has been hiding in the wings?) You've got that guilty smile that culminates in Bedlam (Is the safety that you feel from the witness who has been hiding in the wings?) Don't hide your guilty freight, condolences won't go away (Is the safety that you feel from the witness who has been hiding in the wings?) You've got that guilty smile that culminates in Bedlam (Is the safety that you feel from the witness who has been hiding in the wings?) Don't hide your guilty freight, condolences won't go away (Is the safety that you feel from the witness who has been hiding in the wings?) You've got that guilty smile that culminates in Bedlam (Is the safety that you feel from the witness who has been hiding in the wings?) Don't hide your guilty freight, condolences won't go away (Is the safety that you feel from the witness who has been hiding in the wings?) You've got that guilty smile that culminates in Bedlam [Outro] I am a deaf con of angora goats Warnin' you all who pass this mote It's only a matter of foldin' time and space Before I become your epidemic Is this your first time at this conventicle? You better not talk if you came here for semantics It's only a matter of foldin' time and space Before I become your epidemic
