Pixeled hair
Photograph blur
Framed as if the world was hers
Moth in the light
Shimmering anatomy
Dancing neon fantasy
Stay, stay, stay
I see myself inside your eyes
Stay, stay, stay
Don’t blink away
Vermillion lips
Electrified hands
My lens at her command
Moth in the light
Shadow catastrophe
Dancing neon fantasy
Stay, stay, stay
I see myself inside your eyes
Stay, stay, stay
Don’t blink away

Private storm
Heart shape locket
Lightning breaks
She can’t stop it
I crawl in
Whiff of ozone
Needle droplets
Violent cologne
It falls, it falls, it falls down
Churning eye
Sees you red
Black clouds break
The marriage bed
It falls, it falls, it falls down
It falls. Down.
And the coldest blade pushes through the rain
The falling sun brings a cry again
You don’t even know if it’s pleasure or pain
But you’ll never be the same

Promise Notes

I want it
I want it
Rough or smooth, clean or stained
Dusted lightly with trace cocaine
I need it
Yeah really need it
Evaporate and vaporize
Blown into your disgusted eyes
I feel it
I feel it
Make the world Spin around
Until I retch or The ride breaks down
I need it
I really need it
Moaning love out of control
Anxiety and Metrazol
Guarantees through cash machines
Credit cards and ponzi schemes
Corners cut of future years
Promise notes insincere
Apologies from handsome men
Forty bucks they’ll be your friend
Corners cut on future years
Promise notes on crocodile tears
I (don’t need you)
Can (you need me)
Buy (I need you)
You (don’t need me)
I (don’t need you)
Can (you need me)
Buy (I need you)
You (don’t need me)

Darling
Put me down
Midnight blade
Scar my weary face
Sweetheart
Run towards
Oblivion shadows
Lift your veiled eyes
Hurt me lover hurt me
Hurt me lover hurt me
Hurt me lover hurt me
Hurt me with invisible hands
In Cobalt Dreams
Baby
I’m out cold
Strike the drum
Drip your poison words
Angel
When I wake
Break my back
Hurt me like when
We were young…
Hurt me lover hurt me
Hurt me lover hurt me
Hurt me lover hurt me
Hurt me with invisible hands
In Cobalt Dreams

Leviathan

Where gods made tiny islands
In distant Pacific voids
From teeming ocean beds
My love is Leviathan
With coral rock foundation
And twisting northern bluff
Ancient submariners know
My love is Leviathan
Where blue line meets the yellow
Hazy light impedes the time
We breathe in deep the ocean air and
Our love is Leviathan
When my skin is crumpled paper
My back a leather shield
I’ll break the shoal and remind myself
Our love is Leviathan
Remember when I cannot follow
On shallow coral roads
Inhale the dust of memory and know
My love is Leviathan
Where blue line meets the yellow
Hazy light impedes the time
We breathe in deep the ocean air and
Our love is Leviathan

Purple air
Dying sun
My time has come
Night trip into heaven
Trembling streets
Looming towers
Where we belong
Under this umbrella
Just a bed
On the floor
Escaping sheets
Solitary window
Tokyo Moon
Lunar voyeur
Tomorrow I leave
Go without a word
It takes more than angry fathers to keep me away
More than spinning galaxies to break us apart
It takes more than what I owe the world for leaving it behind
But the day is never long enough for us
When next year comes
On magpie wings
In Tokyo stars
Night trip into heaven
It takes more than angry fathers to keep me away
More than spinning galaxies to break us apart
It takes more than what I owe the world for leaving it behind
But the day is never long enough
Don’t forget Orihime
The day is never long enough for us

Safety Off

She says
He loves the sound of his voice
The sound of his lips
Talking about anything (and everything)
She says
It kills her how much she loves him
But romance is a pitfall
That echoes through her life
I don’t want sympathy
I don’t want a second chance
Spinning like a broken wheel
The brakes are off
The safety’s off
When we collide
When we collide
She says
With uneven pooling eyes
I’m born with the safety off
You can’t get rid of me (even if you tried)
She says
Who do I need to kill
To get another drink
Another drink, another drink
I don’t want sympathy
I don’t want a second chance
Spinning like a broken wheel
The brakes are off
The safety’s off
When we collide
When we collide

Disbelieve with bold devotion
Denying drops within the ocean
I only heed the path I run
When my life burns down, I’ll buy another one
Oh father, son, and holy ghost
You’re the ones we fear the most
Renounce!
Renounce!
Hiding in chrome gardens
Weep for homeless amputees
And dine alone on heart disease
With paper notes to pay the fees
I paved a museum for the trees
Oh father, son, and holy ghost
You’re the ones we fear the most
Renounce!
Renounce!
Hiding in chrome gardens
I have a secret phantom limb
It clings to me and murmurs hymns
The haunted touch reveals the plan
“You got to take everything you can”
Oh father, son, and holy ghost
You’re the ones we fear the most
Renounce!
Renounce!
Hiding in chrome gardens

Walk into walls in rose coloured glasses
Mud in your eye with each year that passes
Twenty five years from now and still fat on our asses.
Maybe there was something back in the day
Even knowing better we still drank it away
Time moved in circles and there’s nothing to say
You’re nothing.
Like me.
There’s no encore in the aftermath
With a band that played itself to death
People see through you, and forget you are there
Probably too hung over to notice or care
Life goes on hiatus with a forty of vodka and a hazing dare
Your feet are sidewalks to a place too far
Hands a sticky bar on a nowhere streetcar
A pixelated man in a stalled out pornstar
You’re nothing.
Like me.
There’s no encore in the aftermath
Of the band that played itself to death
So play your guitar in undersize latex
Stumble on stage throwing musical hexes
PA is off, a problem still vexes
You’re nothing like me.

Because double entendre when talking about this band is impossible, especially if you love them and this EP.

Devours is a fucking genius. Fans like us still can't understand how they've not won like 20 Junos yet.
