about

Thought of as almost an E.P. within the album itself, this 20+ minute song will take the listener on a deep musical journey, filled with funeral dirge doom metal riffs and ample portions of prog, psychedelic, and kraut rock (for fans of synthesizers and theremin!) Themes inspired by Clive Barker and featuring individual song artwork by James Murphy. The dead have highways. Only the living are lost.

lyrics

my silken skinned boy
ivory soft and porcelain clean
bare as an eggshell
supple flesh
underneath
perfect sheets
you shouldn't have come
you shouldn't have hidden that lie
under your slick pink tongue
oh, the cunning
lips glisten
you tricked only the flies
with your little lies
wooing coaxing limbs and lush eyes
transfix me
breath of the dead
voices
press against
your sweet disguise
alone and knowing in your deceit
there are those you didn't see
dead stories are freed
I have whispered to the travelers
and they have answered me
I am the channel
they use to pass through
you are the page
for the weary to use
silenced and hushed
in their bones
longing to voice
the untold
they are the travelers
they are the answerers
In me is a girl in a gown
drowning fountain veins
marble crushed
bone into bone
pink cut birthday cake
left to spoil on a plate
she deserved better
as she drowned in her fear
now she writes lyrics
of songs you can't hear
oh my parched boy
your lips
have grown together
silent as the authors
with their torture and joy
gone are your bones
thoughts, moans, and breath
but your body grows pages
fetid and fresh
will you write your own story
on the folds of your flesh
I am the channel
they use to pass through
you are the page
for the weary to use
