Hal 04:58
lyrics
The subtle spice was a fore and afterthought When our skin was painted Orange, black, and white Are we a fox? Are we a tiger? They'll question. We've got some years; For now, the treat's in the trickin'. The harvest yielded fields of candy corn and crows Little sprites were rotting teeth into the night Loom on the trees that reached for our devilish gains We played the game Trading lollies for the same Are we a fox? Are we a tiger? They'll question. We've got some years; For now, the treat's in the trickin'. We've got some years Would-be werewolves Will be vampires, baby. Would-be pitchforks Will-be bridge fires, plainly So, are we fox? Are we a tiger? This haunted house has gone all dark and void of light Save for the glow of past lives Futuring, tonight Are we a ghost? Are we a fire, baby? Would-be werewolves Will be vampires, baby Would-be princess Will be distressed will be distressed will be distressed Are we a fox? Are we tiger? Are we a ghost? Or are we in the fire?

lyrics
I've been trying to draw a bead on you, burning circles in the ashes of your old flame. Dirty windows -- save for the ovals you made so I can see you're not coming to me Three of a kind, to show you're taking time to write a letter, to see it disappear. Paragraphs on the screen give no new meaning to this, your heartbreak; to this, we can't make. Good, you write/right the wrong ideas Darling Good, you write/right the wrong ideas Darling Good, you write/right the wrong ideas Darling Good, you write/right the wrong ideas Darling Good, you write/right the wrong ideas; I'll sing to help with this, to bury us and bury everything Darling Good, you write/right the wrong ideas Darling Good, you write/right the wrong ideas Darling Good, you write/right the wrong ideas Darling Good, you write/right the wrong ideas Darling I've been trying to draw a bead on you. Every ounce of a chance swiftly decays. Done my trying, now I can head on home. Head on home. You know you never said why. Nobody ever says why. You know you never said why. Nobody ever says why.

lyrics
She withered away Fell for the prolicide Rifled by coffin He went along, baby Coma commander Set for the divide You went Pariah Black Oleander Let ‘em run and let ‘em hide and let ‘em seek, away What winding False floorways Let ‘em whisper Let ‘em murmur Let ‘em run astray This endless home here, stocked with the finest fear: stairs bleeding head-room; walls changing costumes Riddled with 13, You caught them in-between hard glass and stained wood All this, posthumous. Build on Build on Build on Build on Build on Build on Build on Build on
