Icky Mettle

Archers Of Loaf Icky Mettle Lyrics
1.Web In Front

Stuck a pin in your backbone.
Spoke it down from there.
All i ever wanted was to be your spine.
Lost your friction and you slid for a mile.
Overdone, overdrive, overlive, override.

You're not the one who let me down,
But thanks for offering.
It's not a voice and i'm not around.
But thanks for picking it...

Up, on the radio.
Sampled your rust from a faucet, i know.
I've got a magnet in my head,
A magnet in my head.
Extra thick, extra long, the way it was wasted.

And there's a chance that things'll get weird.
Yeah, that's a possibility.
Although i didn't do anything,
No, i didn't do anything.

All i ever wanted,
All i ever wanted,
All i ever wanted was to be your spine.

(repeat)

And a mouth kept shut and a tongue twist tie.
You're the web in front, you're the favorite lie. (?)
You're a buck my lip, you're a lash my lie. (?)
You're the web in front of a favorite lie.

Stuck a pin in your backbone.
Spoke it down from there.
All i ever wanted was to be your spine.
I've got a magnet in my head, a magnet in my head.
Extra thick, extra long, the way it was wasted... wasted.


2.Last Word

Swallowed bible (?)
I lost my chewing gum.
It's my mistake,
And i'm not gonna talk about it.

This is the last word i'm gonna find.
This is the first line, first line baby.
We're gonna shoot and shatter your big sound. (?)
Where's the __________, where's the ___________.
Take a _____________________

There was a ____________________________
There was a letter from your relatives, relatives
There was a letter from the corporation
There was a line saying production, production.

Swallowed _________________
I lost my chewing gum.
It's my mistake,
And now my _______________________________

This is the last word i'm gonna find.
This is the first line, first line baby.
I'm gonna shoot and shatter your big sound. (?)
Where's the __________, where's the ____________.
Take a _________________________

There was a _____________________________
There was a letter from your relatives, relatives
There was a letter from the corporation
There was a line saying production, production.

She spins it off on everything, everything, (?)
It must have been funny one.

3.Wrong

You've got it all wrong,
You can't get it right.
Why don't you come down
From off my back.
And won't you get yourself a job somewhere away from me?

Cause i don't want you to see your face anymore.
Cause i don't want you on my case in the morning.
I'm just being honest,
It's the least i could do.
You say i'll never be honest with you,
Cause you don't deserve it anyway.

No i do not think that you could love me anyway,
Because you are inferior to me.
And no i do not think that you could love me anyway,
Because you are superior in all aspects to me.

(repeat)

No i do not think that you could love me anyway,
Because you are superior in all aspects to me.

She gets what she wanted (4 times)


4.You And Me

I've been so down lately.
You've been so low lately.
Nothing seems to work out for you and me.
For you and me.

I've been so down lately.
You've been so low lately.
Nothing seems to work out for you and me.

Sister says we can buy it all back at the grocery store.
Baby brother really fucked it up this time.
This isn't fun anymore, it's not as fun as it was.
It's just the girl in her says it doesn't matter anyway. (?)

I've been so down lately.
You've been so low lately.
Nothing seems to work out for you and me.


5.Might

With all of my might,
With all of my might i do this.
It's a waste of my time to pursue this.
I'm so full of self-indulgence to think that you'd like this
song.

Jot it down and i stuck it in the basement,
Underneath the living room floor.
For some reason i don't think i'm gonna make it.
For some reason i don't think about it anymore.

Get so bored with the radio, bored with the video.
You've got to make a _______, just to let'em know.
______________________________________________

With all of my might,
With all of my might i do this.
It's a waste of my time to pursue this.
I'm so fucked self-indulgent to think you'd like this song.


6.Hate Paste

Bit my lip
And it's the same thing.
Now i'm reduced to a pulp.
Your undisturbed and decorated
Decorations lie.

You're hounded by pulse
Stabbed by spit
And your brain fits
Despite your ears.

Another one has run in.
Rottin and gossiped,
You're all used up
With a burst up shell. (?)

Why're you gonna try it
If you know you don't like it
How're you gonna give it up
If you ain't got it.

Why're you gonna use it
If you think that it's broke.
Why're you gonna swell the show (?)
The things that you're breaking down, down, down.

Down cold thresh flesh paste
Deliver hate paste.
Voices sick and swelling
You say you don't like it.
You say you don't like it.
But you just don't get it
You just don't get it.

You're hounded by pulse,
Stabbed by spit
And your brain shits
To clog your ears.

A casual mark
Made by a bird.
What you lost
With your fair hands.

Why're you gonna try it
If you know you don't like it.
How're you gonna give it up
If you ain't got it.

Why're you gonna use it
If you think that it's broke
Why're you gonna swell the show
The things that you're breaking down, down, down


7.Fat

What do you fucking care for me?
I'm black and blue and bruised all the fucking time.
Why should i fucking care for you?
I've been with you in the morning for the last time.

I'm not as happy as i once was to see you,
You're fatter around the side.
No, no, no, no, you're not as thin as you used to be.
You've gotten fatter around the thighs.


8.Plumbline

You can go out and destroy,
What's already spent.
You can blame on your hat,
The faults in your head.
The more you pass through my pores
The worse it gets.

At or in,
What place did you think
Your mind would fit?
When did you realize
That you couldn't follow this out
Through to the end.

Clearly this is your loss.
Clearly it's not my loss.
Clearly it's just bad luck.
Clearly it doesn't mean a thing.

Cause she's an indie rocker
And nothing's gonna stop her.
Her fashion fits.
Cause she's an indie rocker
And nothing's gonna stop her.
Plumbline says she's a bitch.

And that's a lot to reject
If that's the best you can do.
And that's a lot to accept
If that's the best you can do.
You've got a great collection of things
Cause that's the best you can do.

Clearly this is your loss.
Clearly it's not my, my loss.
Clearly it's just bad luck.
Clearly it doesn't mean a thing, mean a thing, mean a thing.

She's an indie rocker
And nothing's gonna stop her.
(mean a thing)

(repeat 3 times)


9.Learo, You're A Hole

Try to prove it,
Try to get there,
Try to make your act a favor.

Like a _________
________ false.
Strips you of your skin, it's heavy,
And worn, and it stains my point of view.

My point in part,
Everytime you put a mark on me
Worse,
Everytime you try to start with me.

And i'm inclined to boil,
You're a solid state.
I'm inclined to boil
Destroy your maze.

Cause you're a hole,
You're a hole,
You're a hole,
Learo.

You're a hole,
You're a hole,
You're a hole,
You're a hole.

(repeat last two sections)

Try to move it,
Try to get there,
Try to force a conversation.

Like a polish,
Too much shock.
Twitches you, your skin is heavy,
And worn, and it stains my point in print.

My point in print.
Everytime you put a mark on me,
Print,
Everytime you try to start with me.

And i'm a thick skin,
You're a nervous brand of metal.
I'm a thick skin,
You're a nervous brand of soul.

You're a hole,
You're a hole,
You're a hole,
Learo.

You're a hole,
You're a hole,
You're a hole,
You're a hole.

(repeat last two sections)

Took a long time,
Took care of the situation.
________ all torn,
And _________________
Nothing stands out,
___________________________
Nothing stands out
When your mouth is spoiled. (?)

(repeat)

11.Toast

I can barely hear you breathing.
I like the sound of your voice.
Sweetly soft, it kills me.
There's something wrong with my toast.
There's something wrong with my toast.

There's something wrong (8 times)
With my toast. (4 times)


12.Backwash

___________
You choked on it.
You broke it,
Now fix it.

Drank straight,
The draino.
To sink into
Uncertain...

Sarcasm, sucking,
To stain you the color
Of failure in method
It crushes by grinding.

And washing to will something
Worse for another
Is custom for you
And you can stamp that on my forehead.

I'm choking,
You coughed it up
You took it,
Now give it.

Back to ___________

And washing to will something

13.Slow Worm

There's a worm in your head,
Squirming over on me.
Leaves a paper thin scab
And you're laughing.

It's too crowded
With the skull cap on. (?)
When you're amplified.

And everybody's tired of the noise that you make,
And everybody's tired of the voice you're faking.
Nobody's counting, cause everybody's fine.
And everybody's whistling because everybody's blind.

There's a page of your face from the xerox machine.
Gray matter, bending, blending.
Makes me sleepy when you can't define
How far you're trailing behind.

You're always sedated.
You're simplified.
Picking off the scabs
From the skin of your lies.

And nobody's counting, cause everybody's fine.
And everybody's buying it cause everybody'd blind.
