Clickslither The title of this album tells you exactly what you're going to get, as unlikely as that may seem.

Arsonist 04:18
we don't know who we are i think that statement's full of nonsense but now i'm swimming in a puddle at the bottom of my lungs since all i think about is me all i think about is nothing we go outside to see the snow they don't make it like they used to anyway we know they say you're old and you are not what they will make you too bad now i'm fishing for a letter in my grandfather's shrine (but i know that he will make us sublime) you've got the devil in your eyes and that's fine with me but we'll see if my cousins agree it's hard to find them pleased we don't know what we need i don't care what you know my limbs'll keep burning off until i'm just an arsonist alone with my teeth for striking matches and starting wildfires

Buttons 03:20

Dorothy 06:54
if you'd try you'd be a star little girl please try swallow your pills and you will but don't fear we won't be grilling you yet my dear don't get your hopes up quite yet (you buy mustard i'll eat custard) stay near don't fill your mind with regret (i see solo i will throw up) and don't cry you never tried anyway so get your beauty sleep tight, do-c-do as i peel my face off nice and slowly seashell, stop. would you like advice ? hold your head up high and cry instead of existing as a washed up painting and you'll be watched by millions in this twisted lucid dream yourself away to a better place this evening and if you'd try (your luck i'll try mine) then i would try (feels so much like heaven) so get your feet off of your shoulders no one wants to hear you smolder save that petty banter for a church softly sitter skip the next phase volunteer to roll me upside down and i see me an orphanelli for i seem to caught inside this nightmare and if you fear what it's like to be a doe deer why do you even try i don't want to go so throw me off the stage out back as far as i've seen with my eyes so long have tired hold me closer macaroni lay me down here low my pony tell me that i'm sleeping with my eyes shut i'll feel it when they come whenever everything is done forever keep my color coded hell together thank you for yourself surrounding in the bedroom, bathroom drowning schizophrenic entertainment outing i'll be happy when my name is sadie you'll be happy when i'm in the gravy i will bake fake fruitcakes in the shower you'll be glad your rainbow's not a starburst

Holes 05:29

Mr. Kelp 06:10
we had a friend his name was mr. kelp when we locked up all the doors he screamed for help and we didn't care we left him to die with the crayfish and flies and that's just fine we didn't like you anyway i'm in love with everything the ocean ever told me to believe in i'm in love with the flowers in my garden always telling me what to say i'm in love with the flying cabbage in the mountains calling out my name and i'm in love with you blue water in my tap machine charge small fish to gain the strength to propell beneath the waves and feed us all alright i won't stand a chance but i'll still put up a fight cuz' that's my right i guess i'm young and i don't know any better where are we going how do you feel i hear mrs. kelp is dead as an eel's eyeliner in the sunlight she told me to tell you she won't be here to help you need to see the space between your eyes to stop your trembling hands or an axe to smash your shoulders you need to see the space between your eyes to stop your lying teeth or a surgeon to stitch your lips together you'll feel much better only you you're a nightmare in my shoes just an unspent pile of loot i left inside my nondescriptive lemonade stand only you you're an icy pair of boots you're the milkman on the loose who tries to steal my maiden name and sell't to monsters only you you're a swelling empty room you're a tuba on a noose i guess i won't be at your birthday party next year only you you're an icy pair of boots you're the kitchen without food i'm only 16 and you're already my martyr we had a friend his name was mr. kelp when we opened up his doors he just killed himself but he didn't care he left us to cry in our milkshakes and fries and that's just fine because we'll find ourselves in his place someday

Gingerbread 03:45
roll rolling rolling dough mixing spoon go over oh all you ever do in life is cut in the line first and second kindergarten and preschool haven't you considered that it might be just fine to take you button eyes off yourself and look at mine everything I thought to be the truth was a lie teeth and finger switched, i've got a mouth for an eye bobbin in this ocean and I'm looking for visions can't control my mockery or calm my derision make your own cookie cut cuz' you're a cookie cutter and we all use the same dough, bread and butter i'm a shape-shifting batter-ball inside of the oven your cookie-cutter edges all scrapin' and rubbin' doesn't matter how many sprinkles you got if you're rotten candy canes and lollipops and gingerbread get these devils outta my head stop thinkin' about how good your frosting looks and leave it all to the cooks eat, eatin' people's feet eatin' their arms and legs and eyes eat, eatin' people's feet eatin' their tongues and lungs and stomachs eat, eatin' people's feet eatin' their livers and brains and hearts look's like you didn't stay in the oven long enough to cook yourself all the way through why can't you decide choose a shape that you like don't you dare lie turn the fire up high and doughy cookie listen to me don't you know you're gummy gooey melt inside a person's mouth and cause them to spit you out make your own cookie cut cuz' you're a cookie cutter and we all use the same dough, oven and butter so go to bed (without me) we're all turning red (watching you) serve the bidding of the devils in your head gingerbread (human man) injured head (no not yet) don't eat me (no please don't) the dead aren't my friends

The Meadow 05:18
sleep in shady water shares and when i awake i'll find enough bone marrow we won't find rafflesia there but if we make it up somebody's bound tomorrow but if you are feeling tired and malnourished i will find the florist in the forest you will be my enemy, i see it and we'll cast fishnets in the meadow chess played backwards takes too long but if you beat a bear i'm sure he'll kill you with his bear claws antlers, antlers on the shore and then i got sick as a wick, my body is a sparrow but who grows up and wants to be my daughter when he comes home i hope he's not a stalker i don't know much but who knows what is harder and we'll cast fishnets in the meadow today, i saw the first butterfly of spring and i tore off its wings in a violent killing spree and are you sure you want that well i'm sure you tried the best that you can is not enough but you try anyway my ice cream dinosaur but if you are feeling tired and malnourished wait on the rain if you know you're going to flourish sometimes you win but mostly you're discouraged and we'll fly back to the medieval ages
