lyrics

The Concertina Movement (Cornetta/Trainor)

Marrow changing parties
We deem unfit so
Carve out frames and borders
To control our pets
All dust is composed
So well, so well

Assuage with placatory fare
Sweet bliss and nectar
Sugar will not suffice
You need this passage
To bring you home

Listen before you claim it all
It may not taste of what you know

Blood teeth ink and oil
Blood lips faith and competence
An equitable tithe

An answer became the answer
A way became the way
A choice became the choice
And A began to wear ONLY when it went outside
It's the only way it could
Show itself to the world

Moments defaced by our own hands are toothless and lame
They stumble over their deformity so credit us with their stride.
We are

Marrow changing parties
We deem unfit so
Carve out frames and borders
To control our pets
All dust is composed
So well, so well

Assuage with placatory fare
Sweet bliss and nectar
Sugar will not suffice

He's terrified, hiding, and clothed;
Fig leaves from an apple tree
Listening to the leaves shiver in a manicured jungle.
He's coming he says it's all her fault
Now he shakes more than a simple breeze could make him.
Only excuses and camouflage can stop him from dissolving into sand.
He's sorry but it's external.

Moments defaced by our own hands are toothless and lame
They stumble over their deformity so credit us with their stride.
We are omnipresent gods.

An answer became the answer
A way became the way
A choice became the choice
And A began to wear ONLY when it went outside
It's the only way it could
Show itself to the world
