Depp Versus Zorro 03:46
lyrics
buy track
VERSE 1 Hold on to your symptoms Because reflections Saving everyone or everything And what may not kill you May still not save you Hearts are bound by oxygen intake when… CHORUS We set the sky above everything And let your insides out Held the hands and flush the eyes until we can not see Succeed or kill yourself, let your insides out VERSE 2 And we’re pulling pins now And leaving lines out Microphones aren’t meant to dig you out And the quickest way to The heart is through The throat with pen and paper, knife and mouth REPEAT CHORUS BRIDGE We will dissect ourselves tonight And duct tape our wounds Wait til later now before these cuts are dry Just before, just before, just before… And we speak in silence while the words provide us With an “Alright I’ll be fine” Stop the tape, please play back and rewind And we speak in silence while the words provide us With an “Alright I’ll be fine” Stop the tape, please play back and rewind REPEAT CHORUS

A Plague On Words 03:06
lyrics

VERSE 1 Stop the bloodflow with bare hands and breathe Those plagued will go to sea Hold your heart, your lungs and your veins If it sinks it was never meant to be VERSE 2 A.M. won’t reach the masses now Dissolving lines by the city, state and town Just because they blessed your insides Doesn’t mean there’s more to life CHORUS Inhaling catastrophes It’s you + me = kerosene Believe in what you want to believe If it sinks it was never meant to be VERSE 3 Leave left ears waiting for sound Our throats slit themselves wide open now Left ears waiting for sound Our throats slit themselves wide open now REPEAT CHORUS BRIDGE Midwest suicide by the way I sing Mixed drinks, umbrellas and gasoline Keep us coming too close We grasp so hard to be ourselves And just let go REPEAT CHORUS OUTRO Stop the bloodflow Stop the bloodflow We’re becoming debris

You're So Faced 02:37
lyrics
buy track
VERSE 1 When the knives come through the chest Our backs are ripped to shreds And it strips a man from his flesh We’re never-gonna-bes at best CHORUS When nosebleeds lead to lies You’re so faced to be alive Holding boundaries to keep us in time You’re so faced to be alive VERSE 2 Force a hook, not a word to make them cheer No one sings sincere Novacaine sets in every ear Throwing their arms into the gears REPEAT CHORUS BRIDGE You’re so wasted What’s in the heart and not the vein Lungs are wasted Save your breath for those that sing What’s in their heart and not the vein You go to sleep in these quickly spreading flames And start with nothing and end up the same REPEAT CHORUS OUTRO You’re so wasted When everybody complains they know somebody else We sing and sing and sing

lyrics

VERSE 1 Must we spend our days Trying to save face You were so ghostlike The last time that i lost faith You kill your voice from screaming What you don’t believe in And it is just accepted We left our past and gained nothing And what you dream can be something If you just… CHORUS And I won’t sacrifice Oh, anything When you live under a vice It won’t mean anything VERSE 2 We’re building monuments Out of words they said And it is just accepted We left our past and gained nothing And what you dream can be something If you just… REPEAT CHORUS BRIDGE Is this any way, to spend a holiday When everything we need is at your feet Is this any way, to spend a holiday When everything we need is at your feet REPEAT CHORUS Is this any way, to spend a holiday When everything you need you at your feet

Belt Slip Error 03:52
lyrics
buy track
VERSE 1 Anatomy of electronic devices Achievement scrapes out both our eyes Wiring is hopeless When artery and vein lead to lies CHORUS Engines stall, human delay Prognosis status quo, proceed the blame When the fall, ignites the daze It’s a belt slip error, fade away VERSE 2 Automations loud, while I’m holding all of your fears In disrotation lyrics make no sound Oh, you’ve all become gears It carries on for years REPEAT CHORUS BRIDGE From telephone to telegraph Struck the chords that lit this match Watch your city go down in flames Down in flames, down in flames REPEAT CHORUS Fade away Fade away Fade away

Amputate At The Heel 03:51
lyrics

VERSE 1 Like watching lips collide in air tight rooms The saddest part is sifting through remains Saints and sinners march, an open wound And it’s salted with refrain PRE-CHORUS And I let you know, I’m letting go But I was waiting to explode VERSE 2 Wash off our friendships rolling off our hands Into a spark, that once had left a mark Saints and sinners march, an open wound And it’s salted with refrain REPEAT PRE-CHORUS CHORUS Please insert your sad lines here: ________ I’ve been sifting through the years Still sifting, oh sifting… Please insert your sad lines here: ________ I’ve been sifting through the years Still sifting, oh sifting… REPEAT PRE-CHORUS REPEAT CHORUS OUTRO Your hands tied and our lungs crushed Your lips grow heavier with lust There are times when dissection is more than spilling guts Hands tied and our lungs crushed Your lips grow heavier with lust There are times when dissection is more than spilling guts

Bucknives And Butterflies 02:59
lyrics
buy track
VERSE 1 To pass the nights She writes children letters from home You’re so cut-throat Leaving all your plans unknown We all have these kinds of friendships That keep us lying around like ghosts We all face these kinds of hardships That keep us dying and dying alone VERSE 2 Cut, listen to radio At night the kids are safe Apart to live a life Where you are absently upon display By the way these kinds of friendships Keep us lying around like ghosts You will face these kinds of hardships That keep us dying and dying alone OUTRO Like a stab to throat Romancing the choke Dancing’s a joke

about

Catches TSI at the peak of their creativity with almost-classics like Depp Versus Zorro and the angst-filled You’re So Faced.
