Oh brother
We can’t see eye to eye
Divided by discourse, of course
There’s more to this, than right and wrong
Oh father
What came of your advice?
I can’t even disguise my sense of loss
at what I’ve found you believe.
Please don’t leave
I’m on your team
Please don’t leave our family tree to die on this hill
And still come home
Oh mother I’m scared
That’s the matter
I wish I could be louder than the
coloured lights and pixels that have
driven you away from being who I knew
Don’t see eye to eye, boy I’d rather die
Don’t talk about things that you don’t know
Don’t talk about things you don’t understand
Is this out of hand?

Skinned

One truth alone, divided
Chalk lines at dawn, disguising
I shed my skin to find out what's beneath
And I don't know
And I don't know
And I don't know
Anything anymore
One truth alone, divided
Chalk lines at dawn, disguising
I shed my skin and I don't know myself

It’s so easy changing timelines so the sky is always blue
And the rain only falls when you let it
That’s not how I remember, oh dear I might be wrong
I was there, but then again my head lies all the time
When you throw out your mind
What good is memory
Just tell me a story please
Of bravery and strength and need
To be what you see in me
It’s a case of perspective that makes my words true
Oh subjectives will bury me lying next to you
When you throw out of your mind
What you don’t want to keep
It’s all just a story, dear
No bravery, no strength I need
To be more than I’m lead to believe
You’re making me different
You changed who I am
Am I so disposable, regrettable
Forgettable, so gone for you [dead to you]

Displayed in shop windows
Found in high demand you see
The more grizzled the better
It’s just marketing don’t you know?
No fuss, we’ll take care of it
As long as we keep the bodies for show
It’s what you’ve come to expect
It’s just marketing don’t you know?
Roll up, roll up and see
This beautiful catastrophe
Come one come all and some
It’s just a little fun
The lines, the audience
How far have you travelled to be here today?
Is this what you were asking for?
My goodness what’s become of us
And when we’re done
We turn around
And eat our tails
