Lyrics*:
Take off your shoes, hang up your coat
Witness my words as they jump down your throat
It won't happen again, so children take note
It's a funny feeling at that
It's a funny feeling at that
Fall through the door and wait in the hall
Silence it permeates all sixteen walls
It won't happen again, so children take note
It's a funny feeling at that
It's a funny feeling at that
The foreman arrives, to take down your name
The curls by his side always hanging the same
It won't happen again, so children take note
It's a funny feeling at that
It's a funny feeling at that
The fraudulant feinds come and ask what you got
Honest they mean well but they'll take the lot
It won't happen again, so children take note
It's a funny feeling at that
It's a funny feeling at that

Released: February 03, 2012 (UK); February 28, 2012 (ROW)
Buy on: Amazon or iTunes
Lyrics*:
Roasting peppers in the back yard
The suns eclipse begins to lean and mask your unitard
And all convention lends a hand to understanding
Why a spades a spade and I'm the goose
You cooked until my skin grew hard
You started elongating all your words
And imitating some intelligent guy you once heard
Donating knowledge to the bank of what the hell will he be doing
This time next year if his assets dont begin to swell
And you see that I've been falling
And you see what I've been through
And you see that I've been calling
For better or worse, I'm calling for you
I caught you framing Franklin Benedict
And twice reversing all the first class stamps that we once licked
Of token soldiers holding hands with all the dead civillians
Stop taking chances with the amunition in your pants
Turn your face as you get in the car
Embrace the power marching through your vicious jugular
And I'm not saying that I would but I just might become
The only foreign heart to say 'my dear you are my only vice'

(The Blank Sessions)

Released: February 03, 2012 (UK); February 28, 2012 (ROW)
Buy on: Amazon or iTunes
Lyrics*:
She met him hollow
All caustic in the lamplight of her sixteen years
Crass and making roaches from her house of cards
And her paper tears
She called it silence
He called it all that ever left his lips when in her gaze
A soft reminder of those things she liked to call
The good old days
Her head is in her hands (her head is in her hands)
Her head is in her hands and as it is she says:
"I wanna see the earth, tremble in the falling rain
I'll cradle all his words, and store them all inside my veins
Oh darling have you heard, there's nothing else like your own pain
To remind you, that nothing's ever gonna be the same"
She made him nervous
A little casket for his feelings that had died and gone
She hoped to bury them and find some others
Futher on
She stayed all night
Inside herself and found that she had lost her way
The road subsided as she wandered out to where he lay
Her head is in her hands (her head is in her hands)
Her head is in her hands and as it is she says:
"I wanna see the earth, tremble in the falling rain
I'll cradle all his words, and store them all inside my veins
Oh darling have you heard, there's nothing else like your own pain
To remind you, that nothing's ever gonna be the same"

6. The Barely Skinny Bone Tree
Released: February 03, 2012 (UK); February 28, 2012 (ROW)
Buy on: Amazon or iTunes
Lyrics*:
[Below the barley skinny bone tree
You laid an egg and so you bore me
Your feathers breathe and seperate
Flesh walls you break]
Below the barely skinny bone tree
You laid an egg and so you bore me
A baby boy with eyes of mercury
Your feathers breathe and seperate
Like curdled words your mother baked
And I'm your house, flesh walls that you create
Well life it exploded, your words duelly noted
This coming of pictures, to all of my parts
I'll expect these mountains, to fall when I've found them
So carelessly circular back to the start
Call for help survivals hardest
When suspended by loves harness
And I'm for you and you are you for me
Below the barely skinny bone tree
You laid an egg and so you bore me
A baby boy with eyes of mercury
Well life it exploded, your words duelly noted
This coming of pictures, to all of my parts
I'll expect these mountains, to fall when I've found them
So carelessly circular back to the start

Lyrics*:
My darling wears his clothes
To go swimming at night
Me, I can only hope
That he'll go out with the tide
You're only my only love
And I can't keep my head above
This ocean that you poured
All over the bathroom
My darling wears his clothes
To go swimming at night
Me, I can only hope
That he'll go out with the tide
And the sun blushed silver
And the cracks in the pavement sweat like the crust
Of a toffee pecan pie
And the orange dust in the air a nice seaoning for the
Humans scratching their legs on street corners
Spending their coins on carbonated sugar drinks
From the stalls by the park
But in the end the words run lifeless
And nothing ever came of
You're only my only love
And I can't keep my head above
This ocean that you poured
All over the bathroom

Lyrics (from official CD booklet)
You walked through
her door, and into her senses
And swepted under
carpets, in your search for sleep
I see I see amore,
when looking through lenses
Cry ‘Blind for
creation!’ like you’re blind for me
Ride swift through
the houses like blood rides through me
Red wine and whiskey
are no good for me
Disecting the atlas
for places we’ve been
Your list is longer
but you’ve got more years on me
A token to dispense,
we take it all in doubles
Weeping on concrete,
then stealing away
You opened up her
mouth, and let out all her secrets
Assumed her disordered
in her thirst to stray
Ride swift through
the houses like blood rides through me
Red wine and whiskey
are no good for me
Disecting the atlas
for places we’ve been
Your list is longer
but you’ve got more years on me
“And these black
berries stain your hands and your lips
Sup on their
dimension in the gut of our summer trips
So pray, sleep
sweet, and sharpen your teeth
And escape from this
body your soul is impounded beneath”
Abort the
nochelance, and clap for your culture
Your tanned hide
exerting, the sum of your parts
The bridges will
advance, devout of their structure
Armour the estuaries
that plow through your heart
Ride swift through
the houses like blood rides through me
Red wine and whiskey
are no good for me
Disecting the atlas
for places we’ve been
Your list is longer
but you’ve got more years on me

3. Dodecahedron
Released: July 17, 2011
Buy on: Amazon or iTunes
Lyrics*:
Last night I dreamed of dodecahedrons
My eyes were bleeding with crimson sight
I tried with all my might to release them
These golden demons may they take flight
These feet repeat and bloom in season
Dancing for reason of pageant fools
A costly sight of doomed collision
One sad decision of yeilding jewels
If this berievement raises all the thoughts it's seeded
Then I surely won't be needed in the morning
And try I may but I wont ride this river
That runs by your side
For I'm aware that you'll provide no warning
We rode on a real wild accusation
A sick inflation above your brow
We'll push and pull apart this nation
For the salvation to which we bow

Trivia:
"The night before I wrote it I had a dream that consisted of me running
up to strangers in the street and asking them what a dodecahedron was,
but no one knew. I later found out that the ancient Greeks
believed the Dodecahedron is a symbol of the universe and represents an
idealized form of divine thought. Having said that, despite that first
line, the song is nothing to do with Dodecahedrons, it’s just a prelude
to a thought." - Beth Jeans Houghton

Lyrics*:
He came over, like rolling thunder and his toes
Were lightly dusting, the twisted mountains as they groaned
And you can see him, though he always tends to hide
From the helping hand that I provide
A devils horseman, a sweet delight beyond this town
In which we've chosen, to lay our failing bodies down
And without season, it seems our leaves are turning brown
And I hope that he'll always be around
Together darling, we'll keep some damn good company
For without trying, you make a seasoned fool of me
Your hands have folded, and twisted my dry-lock design
But honest darling, I'll be fine
Come forth and I will raise
Four flags above this day
Contain the night in arms
Titans rising, and all once vitals now implodes
Above your mantel, your equine orniments erode
Relieve this moment, say that gestures don't afford
The lacquered tip of cupids sword
Thou shalt not daunt me, though the wounds may still remain
You will not haunt me, or pass my sorry heart again
See me moving, hold your ground as I retreat
Your memory beneath my feet
Come forth and I will raise
Four flags above this day
Contain the night in arms

Lyrics (from the
official CD booklet)
I knew a bird with
words so sweet
That they would god
damn rot your teeth
A tongue so sharp it
cut it’s words
Before they even
left its beak
There are no words
to understand
The stone cold
pistol in my hand
I shot I shot I shot
it down
My sweet tooth bird
lies on the ground
Oh calm down please
calm down
Oh calm down please,
please calm down
Oh calm down please
calm down
Oh calm down calm
down
The foreign heights
that bless your wings
Now weigh you down
with iron rings
But sweet tooth I’ll
be glad to go
Where fire cracks
the mountain snow

Trivia:
“Sweet Tooth Bird is about something that is so
good it’s bad. I think there is this strange feeling of guilt that we
all get once we reach a stage of happiness. It is human nature to exist
with grief and sadness.” (Beth Jeans Houghton for PasteMagazine)
