Papillon 05:31
in a glass frame, i am dried out, and left to look out, left to look out on nothing much at all, surrounded by wings, dyed and eviscerated, I can stare out, I can stare out & stare down at the floor, an ornament, an ornament with a glass front, with a glass eye, I am shattered, and laid out on the floor, no longer safe from harm, no longer safe from harm, I will rot away, an ornament, an ornament with a glass front, an ornament with a glass front, you can tear my wings off, you can tear my wings off, put them in a glass case, put them in a glass case that noone ever sees, you can tear my wings off, you can tear my wings off, put them in a glass case, put them in a glass case that noone ever sees,

Astrogod 04:04
The silence when you scream in space, but they already know, and all those movies where your head explodes? they don't know a thing, oh teacher, teach us what it's like, and teacher, teach us what it's like to die, Yeah I'm floating, I'm floating away, and I don't know where I am, and I'm so weightless, my bones are so brittle, but I guess that's not your fault, oh teacher, teach us what it's like, and teacher, teach us what it's like to die, and I can see you through this clouded mind, not that you care, and I can hear you through this deaf expanse, not that it matters now, oh teacher, teach us what it's like, and teacher, teach us what it's like to die,

Something 02:41
These walls have painted numbers, this bed has given me solace that nobody else can offer, sometimes i know how you feel, these strings have lots of skin cells, too miniscule to see, like a similie with no obvious comparison, sometimes i know how you feel, this song is going nowhere, this song is going nowhere, this song is going nowhere, this song is going nowhere, this song is going nowhere, this song is going nowhere, this song is going nowhere,

Officer 05:10
Your hands in my pockets, my hands at my side, have you forgotten what your job is? no numbers on your shoulders, no training on your side, have you forgotten who you're serving? we are not a riot, we are not a riot, officer, we are not a riot, we are not a riot, officer, riot gear and batons, brutality on show, tonight you'll show no mercy, tomorrow you'll show bruises, and say that it's our fault, but with a foot on your neck, it's hard to say you're sorry, we are not a riot, we are not a riot, officer, we are not a riot, we are not a riot, officer,
