First Temple

Closure In Moscow First Temple Lyrics
1.Kissing Cousins

We have never lived, we have never even tried
Come on now give that burden to me
We have never lived, we're just creeping all our days
And you could feast an age,
feast and still feel famine all the same
When this food's an orgasm dripping context down my drains

We've had our chances
We didn't see them through

It never ends, carry on the sin
It never ends, it never ends
We can never rest
It's like kissing cousins, it's like breaking bread

It gets me so frustrated
Everyone's an expert, I'm so sick of it
It makes me want to gouge a thousand eyes
Choke five hundred throats
Feed them to the fishes swimming in my moat

While I sit in my castle, perched all alone
Disconnected on a sullen throne

It never ends, carry on the sin
It never ends, it never ends
We can never rest
It's like kissing cousins, it's like breaking bread


2.Reindeer Age

I'm seeing their false perception
With my true perception
And he's my canary in their mine
I was gonna tell everyone
But you forced through, you left
Through the eye of the sun
I was gonna tell everyone
You are such a clever devil

I felt space and time vibrate
I've seen a glimpse
A tracing overlapped emits the evidence
So how do I transcend?
The hinges on this door
are much too heavy for my unanointed hands

I've got to fornicate with these severed ties
So long as there is no disease your prostitute has had
She's sleeping in the steeple so to keep the penitent beds
Fostering all my milestones like she'd shrug off with the shore
Bearing the fruit of embellishment
I've got to take it from her

I felt space and time vibrate
I've seen a glimpse
A tracing overlapped emits the evidence
So how do I transcend?
The hinges on this door
are much too heavy for my unanointed hands

Pretty queen of my intrusion was about to yell
Forty thousand years of drippings and her eyes did swell
Pretty queen of my intrusion was about to yell
Forty thousand years of drippings and her eyes did swell

I felt space and time vibrate
I've seen a glimpse
A tracing overlapped emits the evidence
So how do I transcend?
The hinges on this door
are much too heavy for my unanointed hands


3.Sweet#hart

I lay awake stuck by this fickle thorn
I lay with you so they won't sink in their claws
I lay awake while the beasts and the whores
Are dancing in, dancing in
Dancing in the jaws of a landfill
Am I ever gonna let you in before I see it coming?
Systematic in decay

I'm dying to feel what you feel now
You've already been such a sweetheart
And I know we all get scared
We all get scared
Too much head, but too little heart oh honey
I want your touch, such a shame that I am numb honey
Too much head, but too little heart oh honey
Not meant to be this way

Lover, lover, lover you'll never know
You'll never know
Because, lover, lover breathing down my neck
Incendiary breath
And still my lover is a burden
Tell me something could you smell my fear?
As I lay there
Cringing on your bed

I'm dying to feel what you feel now
You've already been such a sweetheart
And I know we all get scared
We all get scared
Too much head, but too little heart oh honey
I want your touch, such a shame that I am numb honey
Too much head, but too little heart oh honey
Not meant to be this way

Maybe my seed found purchase in your soil
It's just a fight, a futile fight to feel connected
I lay awake stuck by this fickle thorn
Instead of tending to it's prick I lay infected


4.Vanguard

My curse is alphabetic, dianetic, crucifix
Your curse is post-magnetic, now they suckle from your drip
Their curse is so pathetic they're the real heretics
Our curse is not kinetic if they couldn't break our grip
Foetid leeches sap their glands of inquisition
They need blinding sustenance

Don't you dare speak that name
Don't you ever speak that name
Break the very tenets that you spit in my face
Now I'm ready to obliterate
So send me all your preachers
And I'll put them all to shame
I'll be the vanguard of their fall
Middle of their falter
Bezel in their rings
Dropping all the stones

This serpent on my doorstep,
well he's got a sweet southern drawl
Lulling so you may invite his venom
Oh he was knocking
But didn't know it's coming
Oh he was knocking
But didn't know
My mutation was imminent

He couldn't help it, spouting invocations
I said unto him:

Don't you dare speak that name
Don't you ever speak that name
Break the very tenets that you spit in my face
Now I'm ready to obliterate
So send me all your preachers
And I'll put them all to shame
I'll be the vanguard of their fall
Middle of their falter
Bezel in their rings
Dropping all the stones
First you'll oscillate
And then you'll feel the fire burn and formicate
While all your words are coming out cancrine

Don't just let him rot this hall
I couldn't do that even if I wanted to
Don't just let him rot this hall
I couldn't do that even if I wanted to be saved
Then you'll all fall in silence
Then you'll all fall
And I will tell you all as I said to your serpent

Don't you dare speak that name
Don't you ever speak that name
Break the very tenets that you spit in my face
Now I'm ready to obliterate
So send me all your preachers
And I'll put them all to shame
I'll be the vanguard of their fall
Middle of their falter
Bezel in their rings
Dropping all the stones
First you'll oscillate
And then you'll feel the fire burn and formicate
While all your words are coming out cancrine


5.A Night At The Spleen

Invisible is just a word
Gotta shake of the dust and the mould
'Cause I've got this feeling deep inside
And it's moving me
And it's burning me
So let's sing together:
'We've got honey dripping through our veins now baby
Sweetest we've ever been'

Listen well: I don't care where you've been
I don't care where you're from
There's honey dripping through these veins babe
I never knew that I'd feel such a swell,
been so long, not a care and now I know
You've all got what I need the most

As soon as we walked in this place
My essence, it did return
My lovely dears you all nurtured it
Making it so pure
And I feel you so much more

Dance with me through the night
We'll feel all right, we'll make it last all night
Dance with me through the night
We'll take this love and make it last all night
When we're together it's elation I've never known

Baby, baby don't you know
for far too long I've been caught up in nostalgia
I almost thought the feeling was gone
Couldn't have been more wrong

Came flooding back when we all sang:
'We've got honey dripping though our veins now baby,
sweetest we've ever been'

Dance with me through the night
We'll feel all right, we'll make it last all night
Dance with me through the night
We'll take this love and make it last all night
When we're together it's elation I've never known
When we're together
I've got so much to give
When we're together it's elation I've never known
When we're together
I've got so much to give

Now my troubles, they are gone
Now my troubles, they all fall away
(I've never heard you sing, but now I'm listening)
Can I ever find another night that will feel this way?


6.I'm A Ghost Of Twilight

Awake to the cracking of bones
To the scratch in my throat
Awake to every boy and girl
Every heart that feels a swell
It's all so lovely when you look at it just right
It's also stabbing me to sleep
Needles long into the night
Suspended eventide can only mean one thing
I'm a ghost of twilight
Haunting neither night nor day
With one foot treading sweet rapture
And one foot in the grave

Asleep to the creaks and the groans
To the sounds of their sex
Asleep to all the promises
All the blessed days ahead
I want so much to keep this precious thing from harm
Then there's a part of me
that wants to hold it lifeless in my arms
'Cause I got this chill in my bones
And a warmth on my face
I'm a ghost of twilight
Haunting neither night nor day
With one foot treading sweet rapture
And one foot in the grave

Desperate for resolve
They're closer every day
The ghosts of twilight call
So now I'm joining them

I slept with faith and found a corpse in my arms on awakening
I drank and danced all night with doubt
And found her a virgin in the morning


7.Permafrost

Now the time has come
Take my icy lungs away
Pull the teeth from my skull
Sheer my crown of its hair
The permafrost is near
But you won't let it take me
It came for me alone
But my gift of flesh will save me


8.Deluge

this body is riddled with ailment
the devil's got me in his grip
genuflect and skin me of this payment
'we share the same affliction everybody's gotta breathe'
that's what i say

i thought your touch would be the vessel to my salvation
but it drifted far beyond the shore so i put up my sails
and i searched all my days
and i found out one thing there's no love anymore
no more pouring out i swear to God i'll overflow
until it spills over, your floors ungratified

it comes in oceanic surges
i heard they purge you of denial
but im lost in a sea of delusion
so instead i purge my abdomen of antiquated doubt
your candle's burning to no end
but you're relentless all the same
please dear just validate this fixation
no more pouring out i swear to God i'll overflow
until it spills over, your floors ungratified


9.Afterbirth

make me vent at the knees
i've got a phantom lung better than the other
more like the broach you wore with apocryphal insignia
it was better left untouched
it was better left alone
for the hour of my echo is at hand
do you feel that respiration?
it's blocking out the sky
now there's no light to be shed on this painful labor

walking with my old limp that resonates your ego
when i feel the resignation of my limbs
you rode in on a horse
but wouldn't form a tryst
saw you ride in on a horse
but you couldn't be convinced

tell your brother's keeper that he's in an awful mess
tell your zealous mother to spay her tongue
tell your brother's keeper his cuts are somewhat of a nuance
when that zealous mother bleeds for everyone

now you feel that respiration
it's blocking out the sky
leaving no light to be shed on this painful labor


10.Arecibo Message

my earthly womb in your monolith
you've got it sewn, bunching at my hips
my earthly womb in your monolith
you've got it sewn, bunching at my hips
my earthly womb in your monolith
you've got it sewn, bunching at my hips
my earthly womb in your monolith
you've got it sewn, bunching at my hips

i ventured to your city to meet you at your throne
but i'm stuck inside your vestibule with no way to atone

i gnashed my vexing jowl at the suffragette crown
the temple steps above my cringe
the temple steps beneath my scowl
and what's the use of pleading thirst,
i see you drinking from my cup

you're not the flesh i was after so i try scraping off the
blight
can't get no passage to my terminus when i'm dying every night
so don't perspire with excitement
in fact don't perspire at all
the jewel of my retribution makes empires rise and fall

how could you defy these precious little ones
the very ones that show you love
i know you've got that filament
so how could you defy these precious little ones

somethings got a hold on me, about to breech the seat
you're not the flesh i was after so i try scraping off the
blight
can't get no passage to my terminus when i'm dying every night
so don't perspire with excitement
in fact don't perspire at all
if the drones become enlightened
you'll have such a noble swarm...


11.Couldn't Let You Love Me

Couldn't Let You Love Me
Couldn't Let You Love Me
Couldn't Let You Love Me


12.Had To Put It In The Soil

Couldn't let you love me
Had to put it in the soil
Buried it and gave you to the night
Didn't see it growing
Then you wrapped me in its leaves
Just in time for us to be torn asunder

How long can we go on with just the remnants?
Not fit to build a shelter but I'm trying all the same

Couldn't let you love me
Now I've put that in the soil
Buried it and mourned into the night:
'Such a beautiful heart, such a beautiful soul
Lead me to your house, lead me to your home'

How long can we go on with just the remnants?
Not fit to build a shelter but I'm trying all the same

I've lain beside you
You've made me content
It was always fleeting

Couldn't let you love me
Now I've put that in the soil
Buried all the times that I was hesitant
