Three little snails

Lyrics

Wretched

She can only ever find her true self when she’s swallowed whole

Oh my god what have I done?
You said I’d be the only one
My god where has she gone?
Oh, wretched, wretched

If she could only

Put the mask back over your eyes
Feeling, touching, guessing
Practice your lies
Easy going happy
Stand in your line
Waiting, patient, patient
Breaking your spine
Bearing all you long for

It’s only ever when the towel’s thrown in
She swallows something to tame the soul
Wrapped inside the darkness
Falling deeper into the hole

Oh my god, what’s going on?
Was I not the only one?
My god she’s up and gone
Oh, wretched, wretched

Don’t waste your time
Guilty, worried, sorry
No time to cry
Let’s get, fucking
Out of your mind
Stir the power in you
You’ll learn to find
Exactly what it tells you

She can only ever find her true self
when the ocean swallows her whole
Void of stimulation
she can finally lose control

Never never never never never never never never
Never ending, always something

Oh my god what have I done?
I thought I was the only one
My god she’s on the runOh, wretched, wretched, wretched

Light of Day

How can it be
Dreams that mesmerized my young mind
Falling to pieces at the hands of the savior I’ve come to despise

It’s not what I wanted
What I had in mind
Now I’ve discovered
Your words do not light the way

Fuck your desires
Fuck all your lies
I’ve flown from the murder
And now I see the Light of Day

How can it be
My crown has fallen now can’t you see
But now I’ve decided that I am no longer your toy misery

Fuck your desires
Fuck all your lies
I’ve flown from the murder
And now I see the Light of Day

I’m no longer victim to your
Twisted game of mind and matter
You don’t own me own me anymore

Oh the joy it brings
To watch you crumble to the ground
Tiny man, you poor, sick, thing
I’ll define my path from now on
Oh tiny man, you’ll never own me again

I’m no longer weak you bastard
I’m no longer bruised and broken
I’m no longer your toy plaything
I’m not longer what you want

I will feed all the tiny minds you lead
You will never fool another again

You will see just how vicious lambs can be
You can’t stop me now that I’ve found the Light of Day

The Plunge

Wait
Wait for
Wait for me, I’m getting
I’m getting closer
Please don’t
Let me fall

Ahh

Stones fall from my grasp
Walls are ripping, tumbling as I fly
Screams, out my teeth
Like I’m howling to the night
You, you couldn’t wait
Now I’ve met all of your lies

Ooh
Ahh
What’s it gonna be now
Please
Where ya goin?
If I fall I’ll drown

Ahh

When the water breaks
My bones splinter blood pours out my eyes
Cold envelopes me
Muscles seizing shaking how I tried
I took the plunge
In the absence of your hand

Wait

Why don’t you jump in
The water’s fine
What’s the matter are you surprised
That’s right baby
I haven’t died

Rare Bird, Bronze

Born into these hopeless waters
Here you’re merely prey
Searching through the cluttered drawers
For some reason to stay

The outside’s pink
But the inside’s grey
There’s so much to think
But there’s less to say

I can’t believe it took me goddamn years to find out I’ve turned to clay
Twisting my limbs my lips my neck in every goddamn way
The mud inside spilled out your mouth slowly the air got cold
As I melted to your mold I slowly became stone

Was there anything to wish for
In that dark dank tomb
Place me up upon your mantle
Help me bind [barricade] my womb

Every time it felt unstable
I sprouted my hind legs
We would never be unfaithful
Praised everything he said

The outside’s pink
But the inside’s grey
There’s a lot to think
But less to say

A rare bird
Trapped in its cage
But you can’t teach
The feral to behave

Lost the smile
Given up the game
All my love
Replaced with pain

Years of hoping no one at the table
Peers into my bowl
Asks me what it is I’m eating
Or how I find the hole

Sorry for Breaking You

Ok, alright, I get it now
I'm yours, but you're not mine
My body is your temple
Apparently, so is my mind

Stuff your words into my head
Point out my hollow chest
How weak I have become
Inside your nest

Can you help me
Strong, strong man?
I can't do this
Without your hand

Oh, I'm sick and tired of the bullshit
You think I'm fucking high?
I'm the scariest of bitches
What because I speak my mind?

Thanks for sharing
Your opinions baby
I'll take that to heart
Because I yearn to please
What's taller

I'm so weak and
I don't try
I stand bleeding
You sit blind

You roll it out just like a buffet
Tell me, take what I please
Then you pull the passion from my rib cage
Drain my every sympathy

When did I become your version
Didn't realize that's my name
I followed your directions up to this point baby
Seemed to think you had me fully trained

Broke, worthless, stupid girl
Crack me open, take my pearl
Twisted lures and secret schemes
Empty words and one fact team
I can't take it, let me out
Beat my face and tie my mouth

Once you face what I've become
Won't you see the wrong you've done?

Fuck you, you fucking mouse
Fuck you, you fucking liar
Fuck you, you fucking bull
Fuck you, you fucking spider
Fuck you and your probing eyes

Fuck, do you fucking mind?

Ohh

I'm fucking tired

Dare you to try and tie my hands again
Dare you to try and point the blame
I'll show you what it is that you've created
And you can tell me to my face

Just try hard
That's what you said
Try harder
Am I dead?
I've died
And now I'm recreated
In the size
Originated for my head
Now you feel all the dread
That's boiled up
inside my hollow chest

Tantalus

Fallen failure
Sheds his ire

Are you out there,
my sweet daughter?

Even if I'm small
Even if I'm worthless
I will break your fall
I can be your defense

Help me, I failed
Please just, believe me

Is it me or is it my desires,
Always lighting fires this way?

I can see my figure as a father
Standing in the water again

As I reach I can't seem to find you
No matter how hard I try

Every day that passes by without you
A small part of me dies

Despite all of my tries
A small part of me dies

Daughter, I failed you
My wound bleeds forever

Last

Ooo

Ah

Ah

Is this what it's like
Knowing how to leave
But choosing to stay
Joined in your breathing?

I love you
So it seems
Hard knowing
What that means

Then I
See your eyes
And I
Die inside

Let me stay forever
Preserved in stone
Memorize each detail
We'll never grow old

I can't say how much it means
Please don't slip away from me

Stay here in the moment
What looms is growing
Right now, right here
Is everything worth knowing?

Eyes
Wide
Climb my
Mind

Please just give me one more minute
Please just give me one more minute
Please just give me one more minute
Please just give me one more minute
Please just give me one more minute

Please just give me one last moment
