We Are You On Fire

The Love and Terror Cult We Are You On Fire Lyrics
1.June Flew

June flew away
Flowers pink paint
Taker makes one
Filled up with blood
I tried to assimilate, but I can't wear these
The shoes fit too tight
Fake for power
Pay to be truth
He'll die bottle blue
I try to live where they feed me but I wear these
My laces have come undone

I can't help I'm always changing
If I'm melting please don't fix me
You are not a constant picture
I can keep framed
You leak blood


2.Jeffrey Jesus,Son Of Jesus

He's drone sized but he sees himself in the sky
And explains how he is the center
The tales tell of wine-filled giant beasts
He defeats to maintain honor
What a valiant man
Hanging Just as planned
Call it a win
When people eat your skin
Jeffery Jesus as you consume me
I think about your absent face
Someone must have
Taken it from you
How do you shine
When you can't smile
Climbing stairs to fall back down
Calling it privilege
I think it's hard
To name in the dark
My fingers are too clean to tell you
These moments are moments I'll soon forget


3.Anti-Sex

Hey girl, take my hand don't be shy
Come with me,
I don't want to wait through their generational lie
Now girl
I know you were raised by disproportioned plastic people
With pointed feet
But I think it's time
This is ugly, I said this is ugly
Ordered in line then ranked superior
I think I need you to help define me
To know just what I don't want to be
So there's no need to
Annihilate each other
I believe we can coexists
If we can get past this
Preoccupation with acquiring
A bird's eye view
This is ugly, I said this is ugly
Ordered in line then ranked superior
We need the other to know ourselves
To know just what we are
We need the other to know ourselves
To know just what we are not

Now that they have all gone
You must be lost in homogeny
But at least I'm at the top you say
But at least I'm at the top you say
Tell me was it worth it
All gender is drag


4.We Are You On Fire

The city is on fire
She says she's seen it burning
Judgment based on ruins
Gathered and rearranged
Her face felt no flames
Her skin remains in tact
She thinks she's seen it all
But he says she's seen nothing

Walk away my source of grief
Quivering thin memories
Deceived by her eyes
As he transforms before her
To a man she once had
But they shot him down
Trapped deep in infancy
Cartilage change to bone
She thinks she's seen it all
But he says she's seen nothing

Walk away my source of grief
Quivering think memories
Dense bands of ash and debris
We are you if you were burning


5.Family Jams

I don't need one I have one
I don't need one I've got my own
You can take your filthy toys
Take them with you while you run home

You know, I discarded my bones, for stone

He is so funny
When we're alone
You forget every
Time I know
Because I remember

When you asked to buy her hand
Did you think to fix your own
Guess they're just fine
Just fine oh

just fine might lead you to go
get loans, go out and buy a home, a stone it's a new you

do you tell lies to like your life

All on her own don't need a bullet because she's got one
One to ride on, fingers got a sparkle says she's got one

What now


6.Barnyard Traditional

How do you feel about romance
I like to watch it ferment
Would you soak in your own filth

Could you change the record please
I'm sick of songs played on repeat
I'd watch it with you but I have to leave

I carried it to you so I
Could watch you swallow it
Sliding down your throat
Till it spews out your mouth
How do you feel about romance on the slide
Pixelated fragments of pride

All pick and struggle in this land of losing farms
Hoping it decays to crumbling barns
How do you feel when sunshine slips to mold
You know the night sky is retractable

You wont like this I know you wont.


7.Skins on Loan

To walk one's required
To fall forward
Trust their feet will catch
The weight of each step
They think machines
Can do it better
People tend to fall headfirst

Complication has arrived
Operate to save the life
But I fail and let you die
I'm on hold now please stand by

Faith is best placed
When it rests between
Your shoes and the ground
Where the contact is made
They've built machines from many
But our blood circulates


8.I know you see right through me

I know you see right through me
You can taste the air
One tongue to taste thoughts
One to ask am I prepared

To look back see how far we've come
Speaking in terms of miles
Not in square feet of sentiment

But I wont stand staring
Down at what has gathered here

Can you still hear me
Forget what I said
That voice was not mine
You see I was impaired

Time wasted burning paper ghosts
You see I'm so grateful
You helped me sweep up after this fall

I know I have to keep my eyes forward
I know that I have to show my teeth


9.Check Out My Boot Tricks

Suddenly she starts to think
Perched by coiled oak trees
Think lady's legs walking by
She's back down the same street

I have no words except what's rehearsed
Recorded and placed
Imprints on time
I've tried to rewind
So I could save face

To the people I've never met
I'm waiting for the bed we'll all share
I do not know why we are here
All that I know is I will be where you are

She's silent save when she speaks
In screams or in whispers
I catch her voice drifting on
The breeze or the water

To the people I've never met
I'm waiting for the bed we'll all share
I do not know why we are here
All that I know is where we are

There comes a time when a man has to ramble
But what would I say to you


10.Subject B

Sludge foams from his face
As chewed nails drag above skin
He has no hairs left on his tail
He's rose above them

Graze past plastic walls
He drags her
Feet behind her
From that resting place
To scrape grease off kitchen counters

There's bugs just beneath
The layers she's built on her skin
They chew through the bone
She shows off but no one's looking

His hair slicked back
His perfect glance
He planned for it to appear
By chance

He tries so hard to not try so hard


11.Space Whales

Sludge foams from his face
As chewed nails drag above skin
He has no hairs left on his tail
He's rose above them

Graze past plastic walls
He drags her
Feet behind her
From that resting place
To scrape grease off kitchen counters

There's bugs just beneath
The layers she's built on her skin
They chew through the bone
She shows off but no one's looking

His hair slicked back
His perfect glance
He planned for it to appear
By chance

He tries so hard to not try so hard
