STATE FAULTS LYRICS

1. Dreamcatcher, Pt. II

Baptized in stars
Safe in the ether
Softness compelled
Lost in together
I'm floating up
I'm still asleep
My heart keeping vigil
Bathing in dreams
I let myself go
I'm floating away
Passing the first death
And on to the next

I'm still a dreamcatcher
A head in a hurricane
A fistful of summer
A wish on a dead star
I'm opened up
My heart spills it's hate
Sorrow escapes me
Is this awake?

Light in a prism
Love refracted
Show your colors
Flesh is a prison
I'm still a dreamcatcher

2. Planetary

Planetary impact
Hearts in motion
A horoscope dream
A bouquet of incisions bled denial
Momentary contact
Endless sanguine
Antidote streams
The bouquet of incisions bled dry

Celebration envy
Wrapped in a skeletal veil
Subversive apparitions
That mumble into stethoscopes
Amazed we could be the tourniquet
Love so planetary

3. Moon Sign Gemini

Endlessly twisting
Deeper and deeper
Sinking my fangs
Into crystalline
Walls in my heart

Endlessly searching
Deeper and deeper
Sanguine and sweet
Is the autumn
That blooms from the dark

I drank a spell from your wishing well
My bodies shining bouquet
Baptism scars opened wide
Pulling cruciform teeth
With moon sign Gemini
I drank a spell from your wishing well
And joined my heart with the night
But it could never quell
My sleepless worry

4. Sacrament

Arrowhead embedded
Softness quelled
Violet
Light trails pull me into you
Love is a rose
They pull at the pedals
Because they hate how it grows

Roses growing from corpses
Consuming sacrament
Roses blooming forgiveness
But softness seldom grows back
If love is a rose
Then be a bouquet

Stop this incision
Semiautomatic
Exasperation infinite
Blood in the sacrament
Pours on the cold cement
Prayers said with violence
Arms crossed in silence
Choking on petals
We pull from our innocence

Stop this incision
Semiautomatic love

5. Olive Tree

Why can't we know a moment of peace?
Useless offerings
Cut and count the rings
I offered a branch
But you wanted the whole tree
Burned to never bloom again

I promise to never bloom again

6. Sleeplessness

Sleepless phantom pain
Shadows play on window panes
Winter creeps in side of astral planes
Sleepless in this prism
I can see my body below
The veil disintegrates
I'm floating and drifting further
Am I dreaming?
Or floating endlessly
Is this sleeplessness consuming me
I don't know where my spirit goes
I'm lost
Evergreen and June gloom
I'm lost
Vespertine impending doom

I don't know
I don't know
Where my spirit goes

7. Clairvoyant

Clairvoyant
Young healers
Kill the old ways
Let the past stay dead
Clairvoyant
Cleanse hatred
Let their tongues run dry
Revival
Let the old wounds die
Clairvoyant

Let the old wounds bleed

No suffering
No remorse
No excuses
No mercy
Clairvoyant

Let the old wounds bleed

Hold their heads under water
Stop their gnashing of teeth
This is their baptism
A baptism of fire

8. Baptism

Cruciform irises
Cursing their spectrum love
Sealing their eyelids
Sharpen their poison tongues
Stuck in reversal
Stuck to a moldy book
If love is abomination
I’m an inverted cross

Moon light dancing on tear drops
Black masses held in our hearts
Lunar hymns baptized in mercury
From our lips to stars

I just want to hold you
And be where you are
Bathed in soft violet light
Let real love reign free

9. Funeral Teeth

How softly moonlight dances
With dew drops on vacant streets
Chalk outlined effigies silent scream
Mothers start baring their funeral teeth
Victims of violent and lucid machines

Shadows crowd chalk outlined streets
A cage of rats picking badges clean
Trigger pulling god complex
Blood spills warm into the sacrament

Bare your fangs
Your funeral teeth

10. Contaminature

Soothsayer
Heal me of these ballot box blues
I swear we never knew the razors edge
I swear we never knew the consequence
Resentment
Another thousand years of dark and cold
Destroyers
Tearing down the bleeding alarm
Enforcers
Burning all the evidence

And hanging from a telephone wire
We never knew the razors edge
Taxi cabs turn to spectral hearses
Birdcages lined with bible verses

Ghost cities
Faux-skeletal lighting up the telephones
I swear we never knew the razors edge
I swear we never knew the consequence
Denial
Another million years of dark and cold
Destroyers destroying
Bleed contaminature

They drink blood for contaminature
They burn crosses for contaminature
They drop bombs for contaminature
They sing hymns for contaminature
They spill blood for contaminature
They live their lives in contaminature

11. Cemetery Lights

Spectral debris
Forest green and gold
Burning
Clean and cold
Burning
Building a pyre
Funeral prayers sang soft
Morning dew forms
Inside my eyes
Burn down the night
Creatures sing their songs
Softly singing psalms
In moon light

Shedding my skin
Rejoice in the reverie
Shedding my skin
Rejoice in the suffering

Shedding my old skin
I want to start again
I want to start again
I want to start again

Rejoice
We’re all just cemetery lights
I want to start again
We’re all just cemetery lights
