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

The Huge Wheel

Hey,
steady now
I didn't even get to tell you who, why or how
Look,
steady hands
proof I am an honest man
So much
rat's milk
we drink
Fly honey
wasp wax
weak link
Forever wed
to the huge wheel
I never dread
what I can't feel
Your heart
is one mouth full
Fidelity the evening's only goal
Your reach
exceeds my grasp
chasmic, ever growing gap
Forever wed
to the huge wheel
I only dread
what I can feel
Change,
not the biggest fan of change
I'm not the biggest fan of change
Forever wed
to the huge wheel
I never dread
what I can't feel

Dinner and a Movie

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

Formaldehyde

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

Or So He Sphinx

I'm not the one you should be approaching.
All wrapped in riddles
untouched by
consideration
only answers
I'm not the one you're after
Which creature at first goes on four legs?
By mid-day two, by evening three?
With each leg added
it grows weaker
What creature could this be?
There are two sisters
close, so close.
One births the other,
and in turn she
then bears her sister.
By what device
Could these two sisters be?
You're such a fascinating subject
Tell me who built you, feline girl
Out in the desert
what surrounds you?
Nothing but rhymes and sand dunes.
I'm not so sure that we're all alone here
I think I'm in love with every one
That silken promise so dismissive
I think I'll just go home now
Our blurring boarders, so confounding
Where you begin and where I end
Chimera, crossbreed our composition
Nothing but rhymes and sand dunes

supported by 36 fans who also own “Acoustics”
Delicious math rock featuring artful and catchy melodic writing, underpinned by intensely complex instrumental work. The emo influence in TTNG's past works has been toned down in favor of delicate pop songwriting, and, oh boy, it does it for me.
