Gian Rodriguez Instrumentally insane. The rawness of the album(s) compliment the soft, yet harsh, tone of the vocals. The definition of Math-pop. Favorite track: Yay, Flowers.

1.
You bite down please let go your jaws crack bone, drink marrow Listen here, assailing Lichen, I'm leaning towards dislikin' your clan all those half beast half man submit, just quit concede to the pain that emits from every inch of flesh I bit be rid of your mortal skin I awoke on a hardwood floor, the door, ajar, framed a view of the moors where the night before you were reborn Immortality at such small cost so you have to kill a few men? Well the gain outweighs the loss We still don't see eye to eye you'd have me kill I'd rather die you call this a gift? I call it hell to live with You are a terrible perspective clouded werewolf surrender your fangs you're docile and tame what is this pet I've made?

If I had half the gall, you would drink oil

Yay, Flowers 03:40
There are acres and acres of conic hats and noise makers weed out the fakers take off his mask and I will take hers I will take hers You're shying, retracting the world knows that you're play acting your facade is cracking you've been found out, so stop unpacking stop unpacking Remove the straps the room lets out a gasp behold what is underneath what we all see? White mystery If vacuuming makes you cry, then why do you do it so much? The carpet's clean no amount of pruning's gonna change anything.

Amy Adams 04:18
I can get as red as anyone else I've met I just haven't had the chance to prove it yet Now i'm a fat house cat nursing my serpent's tongue I've been searching so long cardboard cut-outs of Amy Adams red strands meet bare hands the drawbridge drops, said lemme at 'em Ariel, a swelling surface has surfaced, take your twenty thing-a-ma-bobs and let's make like Jetsam
5.
Show me where you sleep that I might relieve this inkling feeling that's tormenting me Disregard everything I just said I'm just out of place in my temporary head You would not believe what's been lurking right above the place where you sleep Disregard everything I just said I don't want to plague you're suggestible head Just get out take only what you can That place isn't safe for any mortal man
6.
Romanticore 03:20
I liked you better when you fit in my pocket Trembling so slightly I could fail to even spot it Bite sized, still you had teeth enough to rend The bites got bigger the more mouthfuls we tried to prevent Didn't even have to look you in the eye God, they were awful eyefuls to behold To be sure, they were not pure, those fetid springs we tried to cure, still we rolled up our sleeves and went down with our sieves to the cay The vacant gut the manticore I could only guess the beast hungered for something more Those yawning jaws my dental awe three rows of incisors and not a single flaw Didn't even have to look you in the eye God, they were awful eyefuls to behold They were rotten to the core, those loathsome fruit our orchard bore, still at the first sign of drop we went out to the crop with our gloves Don't tell me 'bout all the flesh you've torn through All the harems that you secretly are sworn to Out comes the confession, now where's the mystery? Your history only serves to repulse me Oh winged one I'll sleep while you eat just wake me up when you are done Take to the air If you must return for more I swear I will not care
7.
I can feel it on your skin smell it on your breath that lingering odor of death I wrote that line for her in case you couldn't tell that didn't win her over very well I will search you four more times until I get a satisfactory response Talking about god talkin' 'bout death Let's take this talking of ours to bed You are chaste and cold you'll take it to the grave You only want me for my brain I will search you four more times until you give a satisfactory 'sponse I suppose I still would search you four more times until I get a better offer from a cheaper thrill I'm in debt to whoever embalmed you I have never had the hots so damn bad Courting you is all I'm into Set my features because I'm ready I'm ready I would do anything anything The chase the catch the corpse Please hold up your end
8.
Formaldehyde 03:33
All pests aside, we need formaldehyde I'd bridge these gaps if not for mental lapse Come now we've got to cherish these thoughts some how These ghosts of friends increase in increments Subsurface serves no purpose and the word is you deserve this All bets are off for captured Atlas Moth The tears run dry for collared butterfly Goddess, I know that I haven't a lot to show Subsurface serves no purpose and the worst is you deserve this Do you feel bad? Good Cause you should Cause you should 'Neath glass Your extremities pinned at last My own my own
9.
Big beautiful eyes if I look too long, I might capsize If I could locate your thighs I'd give you something to remember me by Vixen of the Deep Oh, the secrets we must keep Hush, love shut your beak we must not speak We'll elope in the night a spineless man and invertebrate wife won't we be quite the sight? Our twelve legs all dangling together so tight Vixen of the Deep Oh, the secrets our love breeds. I just can't wait to meet your family Ink black your eyes won't hold contact Why can't you just look your poor love in the eye? Is it something that I did? Or is this numbness your birthright? Just look at me Vixen, like the night our eyes first met I've never seen those saucers look so wet. While there may be other fish in the sea, none of them are as committed to you as me. Our inability to breed means nothing to me Honestly
10.
Qu'est ce-que tu m'aime comme moi je t'aime? We're not so condemned I'll take you out on one condition we must continue this bestial tradition The knight is a dying breed for there are few now who remember chivalry and even less who can recall the lengths I went to be crushed by your jaws But me I'm just fine You and I will go for a ride on the only tandem bicycle that's likely to survive Everything'll be alright I want to end up where you end up tonight I'm less inspired by the setting sun now that the earth has died Still I can't describe how thrilled I am to be one of two alive Me? I'm just fine Morals aside I'm justified humanity is on the line carry the fire carry the fire carry the fire No You've got charms aimed for hips aim for lips you would try using might waste of time give up the fight everyday It seems that I find something new That I absolutely adore about you I'll take you out and back to my den after that I guess whatever happens happens Your longwinded speech buries me up to my neck my gun just out of reach If we could find a priest I'd be happy to oblige you, sadly they are all deceased God fearing girls have no place here Extinction bound bearing at the speed of sound But I will not quit until we're level with the ground I don't have a soul a place to go control a house or home But I've got gall I've got time I've got a goal, a gal, the goddess of life You might have a lock I've got a key I swear to god you'd be so happy with me I'll take you out The words you craft seem simple but they hold a different tone and though it's true, she'd rather die than walk the earth alone, She will not suffer this that dress will never touch the ground I promise Eve is gonna shape the world her way this time around I promise
11.
It's 27 degrees you wanna free up those sheets? our extremities frost bitten quite deep ly I can't make my bed with you in it I sorely wish that I could lie another minute We can't have that, for fear you might leave my pocket and once it starts there's not a lot that can stop it I fail to find the thermostat and I can't ask you where it's at because to rouse you from your sleep would disrupt a thing of beauty Don't be shy pull the faceplate on the enclosure aside you'll be a hero to this house if you can banish the cold without You should hear the things that I have read the ease with which men end up in your bed You work within such lax prerequisites for fear of finding your bed desolate I could care less what you do it just reflects poorly upon you You could care less what I say but I swear you'll wake up alone someday I am not alright
