Name: Unsound
Duration: P00H02M09S
Description: "Unsound" is about a lot of things but it's mostly about regret. Not the kind of regret that consumes your waking life but the kind you have to talk out loud about to move past. It's about desires of the flesh and diseases of the flesh. It's about time-travel. It's about memory.

lyrics

Well she laid
By herself
While I couldn't help but feed wildlife
My discarded
Affirmation validation
Shacked up in the dark wood

What she never wanted was a
Dusty room on a farm
Pentecostal hair
No pictures on the wall
While she melted into

A world where Dionysian opportunity
Drops from the trees
Like ripened peaches

Feeling left out cold
Already had one but I wanted two
Seven and a quarter for a mile
With a tumor in the brain all the while I know I

Abandoned the bed
For another
Closer to all that
My flesh wanted and

All flesh is flesh to the stream
Oh Betty I wanted to be
I wanted to be around
But we couldn't let me be
Around

Unsound

I cut a tear up above
I looked for you there
You were a slave to your flesh
If I could go back I'd so go the way

The whip is loneliness, you see
Lashes I gave myself
I wanted a taste of freedom
To feed upon the little death

It leaked right out on the floor
A mess a meal for the dogs of war
It was hard she was soft on top
With a stare across fault lines blood was blocked
Lie down

The dogs will clean that up
