So what have we learned
From the snow?
That forest scene
Allowed our dreams to grow
Trapped as we were
In our cave
No mind
No plan
With our firebird
And our dazzled huntsman
Leave me be
Leave me be
I've got nothing left to see
And I'm happy here
I've got nothing left to be
We lie in different rooms
Your mind is multitudes
We are broken
Beyond concern
We share these squalid nights
These amphimorphic days
Circumlocution
Circumlocution
Nothing
Left to see
Left to be
We are broken
Circumlocution

Preacher
Don't undermine me
(Your words)
Your words ring null
Your life
(Ring null)
Has never
Seemed so dull
Don't breathe
Become
(Ring null)
The sycophant
Pins and needles
Sticks and stones
(Ring null)
I rip the skin
Right off my bones
Dragged right through my mind
Don't take those words for granted
No one will end this for you
Kill it
But don't remind me
How do I end this for you?
Kill it
But don't remind me
Don't take those words for granted
Pins and needles
Sticks and stones
I rip the skin
Right off my bones
(My words are lost on you)

You said you'd show me
The wrong side of the door
This is nothing
They haven't seen before
And I'm so okay
And I'm not okay
And it's so damn hot
And my hair's gone grey
Silence is silence
And nothing more
Retching and bleeding
On your bedroom floor
The bastards are coming
The lock's on your door
Silence is silence
And nothing more
Silence is silence
And nothing more
And I'm not okay
And I'm so okay
And it's so damn hot
And my hair's gone grey
And I'm coming home
And there's nothing there
And I'm not okay
Because my life's laid bare
Silence is silence
And nothing more
This is nothing
I haven't seen before
Separate us from ourselves

You sold us out
But took too long
You never knew
The angel's song
You're not here
To defend yourself
By the time we're done
There'll be nothing left
Loss of blood
Loss of sleep
Loss of it all
Lose your job
Lose your pill
Lose your resolve
Miserable animal
This is not the life you wished you'd lead
These are not the heights you wished you'd see
Your masterpiece
Is lying in a corner that you can't reach
You sit and wait
Your mind is grey
You've sold yourself short
But everyone has left you here
To rot
This song isn't going to write itself

Repeated deposition
A celebration of poor demeanour
Heartless and resistant
To their ways
And your gaze
I'm not your animal
The sentient subliminal
'Cause I am
I'm invincible
Set apart
From all that's above
I'm invincible
And I know
That it's never enough
Your hatred
Is but a chink in my armour
All I see is
A body enamoured
But not you
I never knew
You were the one
I had to sell it to
'Cause I am
Hatred
Branded culture
Repentance
Hatred
The body enamoured
Repentance
Slowly close your repentance
I'm invincible
(I am I am)
