last time i warn you so better listen when we run out of time you'll want to keep two candles to be safe two cats and no more friends sun is down here sun is so cold
3.
Blindfolded 05:40
fade out, smell opium burning away and i am rushingly searching for hands of mine your mouth gets filled with my hair and at last you're getting out your last breath but nothing is certain death in the realm of your eye nothing is said today of god nothing is said today of us i feel you're getting there so follow through
4.
i know your eyes you no longer blink dreamt of holding you no hand would let go will you simplify the secret in your blood now you can't deny i know it is time to go through you know soon i'll know you

Melting soil 04:40
drowning in comfort drowning in safety safety in letters letters in flames fuck your comfort fuck your safety fuck your lifeline melt your soil be afraid of your hands be afraid of your tongue dont examine fuck your comfort fuck your safety fuck your lifeline melt your soil cut off your letters cut off your flames break the wave today right through me
7.
this is a competition in building walls and cages with words when i grow up id like to become a warning for you i open my mouth to spit and not to talk there's no words left anyway that work try to keep me from happening just try to keep me from happening you keep dying when i bring you back you keep smiling during heart attacks and we're never gonna have an end to it and we're never gonna see the sun rise i wake up to see you locked outside sending cute postcards with scars will you let it again just try to keep me from flowing in try to keep it as quiet as possible we'll try to keep this between you and me i know i'm supposed to stay up until you collapse waving against the grass warmed up by all your lies saving the heat for the night
8.
Slip pattern 04:18
i save eyes for myself but i fail to lose sight try standing on the ground go follow every light like stars we slip again i got perfect room for lies but we paint in foreign verbs permafrost in our hands like weed we grow unkept we've got sun in our hair safe from warmth it's just because we care i think you're someone else
9.
Boarded up 07:18
are you hostile or ignorant i know one does not exclude the other are you normal or accidental i know your mouth is in the water sewing your leather with my lips this fabric was never supposed to be my dress we're born on hind legs we sing under threat we cut up sore throats like we cut bread like we cut trust like we curb time
10.
Carcass 03:58
open your mouth, show us inside open wide, we will keep you all tight open now, we will not keep you up while you sleep we'll be wandering around while you dream we will sew up your eyes from inside like i said before, while you're growing old follow the signs, follow the signs up until the end don't look at me like like i sold the dawn
11.
Failsafe 04:51
given a rhyme i'll nurse you out to the other side, away given a look i'll eat your eye. mind if i look? mind if i come once in a while? if you want no fear, real ones come here realize you kneel, this time for real come play with our hearts come play with our rights fail along anywhere you run it's my fault, it's my time if you want to breathe would you please sign here ice and hearts melt quick beauty comes to us like this when you will find no one's ever really there for you but they'll know we're utterly beautiful well, when we fight, we're utterly beautiful, like you
12.
tonight we crawl out of your lair we pick your thorns like they're our bread if you catch a ghost upon the shelf your own guardian angel will break your neck you're blowing kisses to the dead dont hold your hands, dont close your eyes the fear blooms white and leaves a scent you thought i was blind, you thought i was deaf with your pirate eyes, with your earless head
13.
Barbarities 04:09
we remember so good, we resemble sobriety save us from consequence, save us from remembering we walk on lies, we feed on sighs oh god we choke on your debris oh god we changed you into this oh god you chuckle when tickled oh god we chose barbarity more than our self sabotage more than your self pity all over the place rain will cover it for me it's never all over as long as there's no rain
14.
we learn how to disappear we learn how to fade out we learn how to set the world on fire we learn how to conspire for you to loathe
15.
i wait for your air to end, i wait my turn i sleep with my wings unfurled, the stroke is not enough did you know you had a downside? so from mouth to mouth as seen from above panic fills the room the wind stays inside precious ingredients studying the incense i will never learn what is in your breath
16.
on the day the council decided that we should say our prayer that we should go to sleep everyone went in in silence to count the spills to wash our skin and i will knock myself unconscious and a thousand cuts will picture our emptiness just make us eat our silent echo rip our cells apart sweep under the floor fake rain pouring on fake fields ending a real drought as long as i don't know what's going on it's alright this conversation is over

about

i wanted to put this out much earlier this year, and apart from the fact that time, fortunately, is a scam, the content of this album still, especially now, carries the weight of summer, but has the shape of autumn as it unfolded while i was wrapping it up. abstract ideas gained quite particular referents.

it took way longer than i thought it would to make it what i intended it to be: it's been a year and a half since my last "full length" release, but these songs were at least loosely conceived two or three years ago, in some cases. but the outcome is probably even more than i initially thought.

despite viewing language not as a mean of communication but as the purest totalitarianism, i'm publishing the lyrics. the songs here mostly concern situations of abuse, and adjustment to it. songs about barbed wire, expiration dates to rights, snow melting under human skin, warmth abandoning limbs on mosses. but this is not poetry, it's abuse of power disguised as body horror, a collection of lullabies to the oppression's instinct of self preservation.

half of the proceeds from the album will support Fundacja Ocalenie
