NORMA JEAN LYRICS

1. Orphan Twin

The first grain foundation
Down you put that hand that put you down
The first grain foundation
Down you put that hand that put you down
The first grain foundation
Down you put that hand that put you down

I am the crushed right hand
I am the crushed left hand
The shattered hands run their bones through the earth
The shattered hands run their bones through the air
Slip up on time, emit no pupils

It's not like you, it's not like you
It's not like you to pretend
It's not like you, it's not like you
It's not like you to pretend

It's not like you, it's not like you
It's not like you to pretend
It's not like you, it's not like you
It's not like you to pretend

This is a brand new revelation!

This is a brand new revelation

2. Mind Over Mind

Give it death 'til it comes alive
Give it death

We stare forever at the vivid black sky
Laid out across the crimson fields
And so we start it all over again

Satisfaction shouts in a glamorous tongues
Give it life and trust its deafening eyes
Its well is vile, its breathless and cold

So give it death 'til it comes alive
Give it death 'til it comes alive
Give it death 'til it comes alive

The struggle is imaginary
How much evidence do you need?

History is unpredictable
It's the future that is absolute
And so we start it all over again
A quiet weapon for a peaceful kill
A quiet weapon for a peaceful kill
A quiet weapon for a peaceful kill

I've been alive for a thousand years
I couldn't take another day

So give it death 'til it comes alive
So give it death 'til it comes alive
Give it death
So give it death 'til it comes alive

3. Safety Last

I'll burn every bridge in the world

I am the wreck that you've been waiting for
The dream is real
The nightmare is fictional real
I'm telling you I've seen the serpent lose
A rush of poison from the fangs
Snap its tail
Fall into the lake and take a breath
Pull the root from the interlacing vines
Then end swims away to added end

I swear to God
The price to pay
The price you'll pay
I'll burn every bridge in the world
'Cause I never want to cross them again

So pray for this, pray for this, pray for this
Pray for this, pray for this, pray for this
Pray for this, pray for this, pray for this
Pray for this, pray for this, pray for this

What's in, what's out, what's in, what's out

I'll burn every bridge in the world
I'll burn every bridge in the world

I am infinitely bankrupt again
Aid to ruin is even more ruin
Rush in be the savior to us all
I'll believe every damned word

Just take a moment here and introduce yourself
No no truly, can you introduce yourself

Loveless
Take a moment, introduce yourself
Loveless
Introduce, introduce yourself

Desperate life, every damned word

Yeah, so pray for this, pray for this, pray for this
Pray for this, pray for this, pray for this

The dream is real
The nightmare is fictional
Real, real, real

So pray for this, pray for this, pray for this
Pray for this, pray for this, pray for this

What's in, what's out, what's in, what's out

4. Volunteer Tooth Filing

[Instrumental]

5. Landslide Defeater

It's like I said
You won't believe what I've done
You won't believe what I've done
You won't feel it bite down, the black tusk into the chest
Or the teeth that it left in the wound
Amputate. You brought this on yourself
You brought this on yourself
So bring me the feast that I already consumed
The paradox rejected
I care for nothing new
I care for nothing

Cursed is the land in need of heroes for liars
It's all coming down
It's like you said, it's like you said
Woe to you
I heard the lie that told a deeper truth and rendered conversations useless
It's like I said, it's like I said
Woe to you
Just like I said

Forever without end
None of you seem to understand

I'm not buried with you
I'm not buried with you
It's you buried down here with me

Burned is that fear that is burned
You won't believe what I've done
You won't believe what I've done
You won't feel it bite down, the black tusk into the chest
Or the teeth that it left in the wound

Cover your hands (your hands)
So the world won't burn so bad
Cover your head (your head)
So the world won't feel so cold
Break the world in half so the ground won't shake so hard

Pulverizing!
Pulverizing!
Forever without end...

Cursed is the land in need of heroes for liars
It's all coming down
It's like you said, it's like you said
Woe to you
I heard the lie that told a deeper truth and rendered conversations useless
It's like I said, it's like I said
Woe to you
Just like I said

6. Full Circle In Under A Minute

Engraved into the sky
Into the living and the dead
So take away and kill the root
Less is more but I need more more more
The sky cares not what will is mine
And everything else falls beneath

For one meaningless excuse, will you tell me
Why I'd be to blame, you tell me
For anything that happens after this?
For everything that happens after you?

This is how it's done
So this is how it's done
One foot in front
The hand relays the flame

Pass it off

The dead gaze is deafening
But time will tell if sound relays the lie

For one meaningless excuse, will you tell me
Why I'd be to blame, I'll tell you
Anything could happen after this
Everything could happen after you

I am the crack in the dam
I planned the breach in the gate
I'll consume the universe
Destroy the wolf and cry out for the lamb

This is how it's done
This is how it's done
This is how it's done

For one meaningless excuse, will you tell me
Why I'd be to blame, you tell me
Anything could happen after this
Everything could happen after you

For one meaningless excuse, will you tell me
Why I'd be to blame, will you tell me

7. /with_errors

No need for dirt, I'm already still
I outweigh the orbit, I've
Never been around the sun
Always beside it
The burn is a reaction
Repeat the strokes that will bring the
Water to my neck, the tears over my head

The conflict is an illusion
Just get as close to the reflection
Eyes into the fractured glass
The bounce back, the cross over
Over

Break bread with the ally adversary
Backwards and forwards blinded by the shadows below
All of you and everything and it's never ending
It never started anyway

No need for dirt, I'm already still
I outweigh the orbit, I've
Never been around the sun
The burn is an illusion

Just get as close to the reflection
Eyes into the fractured glass
The bounce back, the cross over
Truth withers long before the roots are pulled

Truth will be the first prey amid the raid
And you'll see the smoke before you feel the flames

You're an enemy of speech
Your legacy is a furnace spawning generations of hell!

Break bread with the ally adversary
Backwards and forwards blinded by the shadows below
All of you and everything and it's never ending
It never started anyway

It's never ending
It never started anyway!

8. Trace Levels Of Dystopia

The dead, the dead, the dead are coming back to life

The dead are coming back to life
Does it hurt you to know that
It doesn't hurt me at all?
Oh how they love to see the mighty fall

Does it make me a bad person
That I can't wait for you to see what's coming?

Before you know it, they'll send a flood of knives
Eager to hit your spine
This isn't violence no. Fantasy justice yeah
The world's an empty stage and we're just watching it
Spite becomes routine
Harrowing questions have easier answers

There will be hell to pay

There will be hell to pay

The dead are coming back
There will be hell to pay

And you see what's coming

Before you know it, they'll send a flood of knives
Eager to hit your spine
This isn't violence no. Fantasy justice yeah
The world's an empty stage and we're just watching it
Spite becomes routine
Harrowing questions have easier answers

So crack the chest. Open and operate
Tie up the lungs with the debt because there's nothing to save
Send the feet to the fields and the fire
Bill the hands, because there's hell to pay
Because there's hell to pay
Hell to pay

So crack the chest. Open and operate
Tie up the lungs with the debt because there's nothing to save
Send the feet to the fields and the fire
Because there's hell to pay

9. Translational

The non dimensional spectrum
The non dimensional pull
The one dimensional eye
The non dimensional spectrum
The non dimensional pull
The one dimensional eye
The non dimensional spectrum
The non dimensional pull
The one dimensional eye

Just like a low lying black cloud hovers over a city
So does the fog produce dependence

Deliver me
I won't have it any other way
Deliver me
So we can fade away. We can fade away

The ghost sighed, there will be no grasping out for one straw, my dear enemy
There is only grasping out for several
Submit the hand
Granted, you care about countless and such careless things, precarious enemy
But these are not the questions I asked the coin
So toss again

I won't have it any other way
Won't have it any other way

So bury me with your guilt in the desert in the beating sun
We can't float forever. Enemy the prize that prize the enemy

It's as if I were speaking to myself to no ears but my own
Turn off the dark so I can lift my head again
Light a torch and set yourself ablaze again

Burn baby burn
Yeah, catalyst
Giver of faith, I'm on fire with you
So we can fade away, yeah
We can fade away

So bury me with your guilt in the desert in the beating sun
We can't float forever. Enemy the prize that prize the enemy
So bury me with your guilt in the desert in the beating sun
We can't float forever. Enemy the prize that prize the enemy

Deliver me
Now

10. Extra Dimensional Palette Cleanser

[Instrumental]

11. If (Loss) Then (Leader)

If you lay down
You are never waking up and that's where you're gonna be
If you close your eyes
You will never see it out if that's what you wanna see
If you fall down
You are never crawling out if that's where you want to be
If your palms are down
You should never lift them up, all hail the tragedy

I never knew that I was upside down
Call out the sleeping soul. Wake up the sleeping sun
Lies die. Lies resuscitate lies forever
And everything else will end

I could never run as fast as the light finds black so leave me lightless
Kick up the dust into the emptiness and forget your history
I just want to look into its lying eyes. Embrace me longer
Kick up the dust into its empty gaze. Yeah that's where the fall begins

Manipulator. Do you understand brazen truth?
You love things you don't understand
Lies die. Lies resuscitate lies forever
I have an interesting analogy
Love is painful, always
And everything else will end
Everything else. Everything else
Everything will end

If you lay down
You are never waking up and that's where you're gonna be
If you close your eyes
You will never see it out if that's what you wanna see
If you fall down
You are never crawling out if that's where you want to be
If your palms are down
You should never lift them up, all hail the tragedy

I could never run as fast as the light finds black so leave me lightless
Kick up the dust into the emptiness and forget your history
I just want to look into its lying eyes. Embrace me longer
Kick up the dust into its empty gaze. Yeah that's where the fall begins

Lies die. Lies resuscitate lies forever
Lies die. Lies resuscitate lies forever
Lies die. Lies resuscitate lies forever
Lies die. Lies resuscitate lies forever

Lies die. Lies resuscitate lies forever
Lies die. Lies resuscitate lies forever
Lies die. Lies resuscitate lies forever

12. Careen

Circle within a circle
The pier glass infinite
Transparent echo on twin sides in every direction
See through infinite
Incomprehensible now

Abandoned all the fear
That fear the all abandoned
Cast out, passed up without fail
Oh can you see at all?

I'll never say what it is
But I can say what it almost certainly is
Forgetting rules that rules forgetting

So wash away my care aside
Surrender my defense of everything
Cause I'm over it
I can't tell you why, I can't refuse anymore

Confused I'm outside the mask
They mask the outside
I'm confused
I'm confused

I can't complain
I can't complain

No, I'll never say what it is
But I can say what it almost certainly is
Forgetting rules that rules forgetting

So wash away my care aside
Surrender my defense of everything
Cause I'm over it
I can't tell you why, I can't refuse anymore
Care aside
Surrender my defense of everything
Cause I'm over it
I can't tell you why, I can't tell you why

13. Anna

Haven't seen a word in a span of days
Listen for the slow and steady hum
Saying you're everything to everything you're saying
It's not the answer you devoured
Or the quest to find the question
Just the sound that came before the first step and never turned around again

I don't want to freeze inside
I fell in love with the burn out here
But a little on the lighter side
I'm here alone and you don't ask why

Write it down, Anna. Can you hear me now?
Autograph and send it through the air
Say you're everything cause you're everything I'm not
The knife won't cut the rope tied to me
It breaks and frays to nothing (to nothing)
Comfort sorrow and you'll hold that weapon by the jagged blade

Caught
Between a dream and a dream
I pulled at the seams
We're always between
Trading the dawn for dusk
Exchanging rot for rust
I'll testify with a torch
Burning black from the mouth
Of a night-stained sky
I'll stand in the sun
Cutting shapes into shade
You can hold the hilt, I'll be the blade

I don't want to freeze inside
I fell in love with the burn out here
But a little on the lighter side
I'm here alone and you don't ask why

You're the reason. You're the sound that lights
The way before the first step that never turned around again

All hail!

All hail!

14. The Mirror And The Second Veil
