lyrics

Josie: “I wanna be like you
and climb the stones to your charade
and wed the principles of fortune like you did too”

She'd dance around the moon and let the darkness bathe in her eyes
until the sun will kick in and distress will begin to hurt her fathers alibis

No lullabies or a kiss goodnight or muscular faux pas'
just a willful separation in the corner of her heart
where the sparrows had to turn
cause her mind was closing in
on the things she can't forgive and don't deserve
like when daddy was to busy to redound
and mommy didn't care to stick around

Josie is screaming
but no one is listening
mommy is hanging
by the neck from the ceiling

Tea will turn to coffee and sperm will turn to magic
Stolen parts of nightmares showing tongues made out of plastic
Affection was a burden, mistaken for neglect
as Josie found Celeste to be her fathers favorite

Splintered values in mirrored daughters
as Smith seduced a copied beggar
No more saviors or parent figures
when Josie's father fucks his daughter

She caught them both
in the office on the surface of the table dressed as s-s-sinners
A painful disproportionate choice to not rejoice before the damage comes the bitter end

They soon discovered that progressive songstructures suited the band well, and incorporating several styles of music was how every band member had their say. ... more
