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

Girl Power, Immortalized

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

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

Vixen of the Deep
04:07

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

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

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

supported by 36 fans who also own “Red Version”
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.

supported by 35 fans who also own “Red Version”
Certainly a controversial direction for the band, but this album ultimately rests as my favorite from TTNG. The technical mastery of their previous albums is still present here along with some very thought provoking and philosophical lyrics. I may not always agree with the lyrical messaging, but this is an album which rewards careful listening.

Rising UK trio FES balance math rock's instrumental mischief with pop punk's anthemic sweetness for a distinctive, endearing sound.
