Pinback Album

She's posting all the time but the boards are down
It's a burned out building
He's spending all his time on his back
Staring at the ceiling

They spend themselves that way
I'm with that, I'm with them
You arent. You are alive, damn it

Gnawing on the prey
I think about you some
Where to put you
All backed up data for a raining time
Insulate a fragile mind
Capsulize a broken find

Don't do this man
There's another one off behind
Breaking down the door without warning

She just ignores the time that the boards came down
It's a numbed out feeling
He just accepts that pain with a hate mantra
A spiritual killing

They just relax that way
I'm with that, I'm with them
You arent. You are alive, damn it

Crayon past the line, stay after school
Crossword filled in non-photo blue
So they'll never find you

I get the same result
We get the same effect
I get the same result
We get the same effect

Cant go through this now
I'm leaving a message
Stapled on your head

Don't do this man
There's another one off behind
Breaking down the door without warning

Shoes crack where you walk
Settle down
Inside, outside, amazing
Cut it back
Get in some clean fresh air

Acute angles, divide my
Path that I had lost
Path that I had lost

Tongue tied, couldn't talk
Settle down
Inside, outsides amazing
Haven't lost
Haven't cared at all

Acute angles, divide my
Path that I had lost
Path that I had lost

And when you see a boat come
in a straight line
You know it's going straight down
And then you feel like a flower sender
Lender, like you

I close my eyes
Nothing to see here

Cloud tank, given off
Watered down
Stick side outside, the razing.
Wasn't cool
Wasn't fair at all

Acute angles, divide my
Path that I had lost
Path that I had lost

I close my eyes
Nothing to see here

And when you see the big crack in the sunlight
You know it's over somehow
And then a pinhole sky expodes out
Ball of fire
Supernova falls down on you

I close my eyes
Nothing to see here

(Ball of fire
Supernova falls down on you)

I step down into sand
Water carries us from here

(Whatever the thing that set you up
Set you off and down again)

I'm fightin' this assignment
I'm wishin' we fall into the well
I'm fightin' this assignment
I'm wishin' we fall into the world

(Until he's spared no reason)

I step down into sand
Water carries us from here

(What he doesn't know
What he doesn't know
Could fit inside a thimble)

I missed your monotube?
I missed you... far away...

Brain to head, what is that for?
Vein to vein, torn and sore
Carpet so thick and worn
Blanketed, dark, and warm

Calm yourself, calm yourself
Blood's on fire, blood's on fire

Break the bed, burn the floor
Head to head, twisted, sore
Accident, never warned
Can't explain, nevermore

It's not in the spark
That's not in your eye
Like we used to talk
It's not in the phrase
That's not in the language
That we used to talk
Not in the face, you missed me. There.
Its not in the science
That we didn't learn
When we used to talk
Sit outside, penetance
Just let me know
Please say the words

I'm all right, what was that sound?
Woke me up, now you're around
Pick me up, drag me around
Don't forget to breathe now

Calm yourself, calm yourself
Blood's on fire, blood's on fire

We all forgot
We're all lost in autumn

Calm yourself, calm yourself

It's not in the dead shocks
That dropped underneath us
When we used the car
Its not in the strings
We didnt pull to move you around the floor

Where are you now?
Pacing a faceless maw somewhere vague

You're not outside, you're not inside, you're not anymore
Where did you go?
Here's to the pranks we never pulled
And never will

Too long til fall, sick summer in bed
You and a lazy mood
Ten times the fall, spread, sacked, and I've failed
Nobody move, nobody move

To long to fall
Sat shiver in bed
You and a test of will
Too many fallen, too many failed
Nobody move, nobody move

Days with the light off, freezing
You and I, uneasy, livid

Stop, it's too late
I'm feeling frustrated
I see no sign of fortress
I see no sign of fortress

Safe as a cootie wootie with you
Never pretend the chill
Too many shadows, too many sails
Nobody move, nobody move

Summer is only winter with you
How can you really feel?
Two of another, none of a pair
Nobody move, nobody move

Days with the light off, freezing
You and I, uneasy, livid

Stop, it's too late
I'm feeling frustrated
I see no sign of fortress
I see no sign of fortress

Another delay, too many hassles
Where do we go, how do we follow?

And I don't know how it goes
I've found another way that
Tells us all it knows
I've finally caught a deal

Your face above
Fades out all the reels
Your face above
Fazes all there is
Uh oh. There's a spot in my eye
Uh oh. There's a pill I have missed

The cloves of garlic flow
Like surfing down Pompeii
I'm messing up your show
You really should have guessed

Your face above
Only spark I need
Your face above
If I could reach your throat
Uh oh. I could strangle you all
Uh oh. Did I say that out loud?

Although it passed the mail
It blew a fuse and bailed
It's too blue to be ours
And though it passed as red
Its too far off and best guess
Has it soaked at home

Uh oh. There's a spot in my eye
Uh oh. There's a pill I have missed

And this little red book knows
It's become my every day
I've taped over your show
You really should have guessed

Your face above
The only spark I need
Your face above
If I could reach your throat
Uh oh. I could strangle you all
Uh oh. Did I say that out loud?

And though the text was fed
Too obvious, they said
And moved it underground
Between the lines they met
Like sulfur burns they spread
Too angry to go out

Light my heart
Make me burn out like your name

Toss it away
Into the water
Toss it away
Into the fire

Some minor thought fell from the sky
Nobody wants that either
Paper model plane glued to your spine
Severing off your feelings

Toss it away
Into the water
Toss it away
Into the fire

It might've faded, you decide
Hell of a night
Bat of an eye
You started screaming blue murder, true
That's so you and you're soaked through

You took them all
You closed the bar without me
You chose the fall
You took them all without me

Your sentry-men fall behind
Your sentry-men fall behind

You're wasting my time
Like mini crosswords do
You're breaking the line
You just tripped over

(every time) Your sentry-men fall behind
(every time) Your sentry-men fall behind

Into the sunspots we vanish away

You're falling in time
Like penny dreadfuls do
Tripped over the line
That's two for flinching

I'd pay anyone twenty bucks just to do that
Cause everything in this place is freezing
except for the sound.
It's just a thing that I carry around.

Into the sunspots we vanish away

Saw your face in the mirror said three times
Saw your face in the mirror said three times

I feel my head goin' down again

You disappear from the foreground
I'm unaware which way is down

You disappear
(There's some strange shape in the sky)
From the foreground
(A bright light over the horizon)
I'm unaware
(It's changing direction now)
Which way is down
(It's headed towards the village
Better warn...)

Hey, above you!
Waves about to...
Verified on here
Waves about to...
Terrified, aren't you?

A major repair is underway
Where am I?
A major repair is underway
Where am I?
Require a blanket of silence
Where am I?

Hey, above you!
Waves about to...
Verified on here
Require a blanket of silence

I feel my head goin' down again

Home ahead
Fall over
Vein empty

We're too late, we're too late
Release the rigging

No one uses the phone anymore
The tracks are wrecked and the odometer's ticking
The edge is pushed and the lines are melting
Too scared to look at what I hear outside
Release

We're too late

Protect, embrace, engulf
Remember the summer in Abaddon
Protect, enslave, in love
Remember the summer in Abaddon

Way offsides and I'm almost empty
I'm cracked and stripped like a domino's crush
Send a tell if you're ever near me
I'm A.F.K and I can't get by
Release me

This vessel's underway
Secure the rigging, we're headed south
Tack the sails, man the posts
We're headed south into the wind

Protect, embrace, engulf
Remember the summer in Abaddon
Protect, enslave, in love
Remember the summer in Abaddon

(We're too late)

Protect, embrace, engulf
Remember, the summer, in Abaddon
Protect, enslave, in love
Remember, the summer, in Abaddon

No one hears you fall to the floor
The mirror's broke and the newtonian's clicking
The finds are pressed and the veins are pumping
Too far gone to do more than breathe
Release me

This vessels underway
Headed south

Miles and miles of telephone poles
Fallen and tossed around
I can't talk to you anymore
And I miss you
And I miss you
Not in a Slint way, but I miss you

Seldom to touch far away from here
Even if I'm released
I can't talk to you anymore
And I miss you
Not in a Slint way, but I miss you
