1.
Cleft 02:16
pointed toward scaly theatrics / some numberless and unravished shells / and conventions that ground us in moans / when filthy rivers are the fashion / our guilty cleft minds are pregnant with reproach / and are contrary to the country // contrary to the country / the country of our parents and our children / a lonely rebirth broadcast on a cage / an elevated attendance / inebriation / arbitrary / grasping at word heaps parallel and criss crossed // parallel and criss crossed our cleft minds are pausing at the pits / slow feet hesitate rest / refrain from breaking / from muddying the cadence of the doomed progression and our botched curation / so we borrow the acoustics
2.
Thresher 02:25
it's happenstance that fragile glances are destroyed by failed romances / get down low and start to blow to glaze over the lonely sorrow / or receive some peonies to oppress what she's meant to be / have some fun but marry young / she's bound to take the plunge a thresher table that is set is decorated by the best / the best is one who's young and fair and powders nose and combs her hair / and cooks the meat wet and hot / all the while she's dying rotting / count to three and all she sees / a life gone by no rest no peace death stands up and starts to taunt and soon she sees that what she wants / is rest and peace and not a sound / lifes a theatre in the round / from all sides spectators sit and watch her walk and judge her hips / and they're not a quiet bunch / they catalyze the plunge

Your Sight 02:15
stuck in your head / a hunger goes unfed / in the place where your best work goes ruthlessly underpaid / as the cut follows the blade / these events are overplayed / the brand the trademark the assembly line a sold chain / keeping your time / is on your mind / and from where you can see yourself you appear divine / a vision of you / beginning to brew / a hue in lieu of truth // your sight your eyes / the closest thing resembling you left hopelessly to die
