A Fox Upon The Tomb

I have an IUD and a gun
Okay, okay
I don't have a gun
But what if I did?
What have I done?
Wouldn't it be fun... wouldn't it be fun?
Say what you think
Say what you feel
Say what you say
We all grow old
We're all getting old
And if I could be so bold
I'd like to break the mold
Don't tell me what to do
I'm not just a piece of you
Friheten kallar nu
I'm just a fox upon the tomb

Mata Hari
amor fati
It's just another brick upon the barrow of the righteous
Double Dutch at all your parties if you only would invite us
They called it Espionage
Didn't need an entourage
You crossed the border just as free as February
To find your lover it's a burden that you carry
Mata Hari
amor fati
You were a dancer
You were a chancer
You were a Leo
You were a hurricane
Mata Hari amor fati
Eye of the morning

I was at the grocery store the other day.
The family behind me in line was speaking Klingon.
I didn't understand but somehow I was sure they were talking about me.
This morning I realized it was your birthday but I didn't give a shit.
I tried to give a shit but you're an asshole
and an asshole is an asshole is an asshole. YEAH!
They said to be prepared but they never said for what.
I guess they didn't know.
And so I fell asleep holding my guitar like a shotgun.
They always tell me that my heart is in the right place.
Well I sure hope so! Cuz where else would it be?
I like it where it's at, all filled with feelings in my thoracic cavity.
I called up Kurt Cobain.
It was a Wednesday and he came over for tea.
Not Pennyroyal tea... that would be irony! Or would it really... HUH!

I get all my news from Geminis
bleeds through the pages
of course you were, of course you did
11:37 same as ever
Make your idols cry!
I get all my light from fireflies
bleeds through the pages
of course you were, of course you did
11:37 more than ever
Make your idols cry!
I get all my love from water signs
bleeds through the pages
of course you were, of course you did
11:37 strange as ever
Make your idols cry!

The tea has gone cold and the water's gone warm
The trail has gone cold
Put your feet on the floor
Let me suck your static mood
The trail has gone cold
Isn't that exactly what I said would happen?
(I'm sorry I keep having ideas while you're trying to sleep)
I shouldn't have called
I know what I said was unfair
Now the trail has gone cold
I told you I cope like a rocket falling to Earth
The atmosphere is so cold
Isn't that exactly what I said would happen?
You know, I don’t believe in love at first sight
But I do believe in having good aim
So I line eggs and frogs up on the walls and kiss them until my lips bleed
I’m sorry you’re trying to sleep
While I’m busy dreaming stories of forbidden love between Medusa and Sysyphus
And Sisyphus!
Sisyphus had it easy, didn’t he?
I mean, he just had to move that ONE fucking rock, right?
And I’ve tried,
And I’ve failed,
And I’ve tried and I’ve failed and I’ve tried and I’ve failed and I’ve tried and I’ve failed
And I just can’t take the distance anymore
I’m sorry the last words I said to you were “fuck you”
And I meant it
And I still mean it.
Here is every song that I will sing to you
And here is every letter I will write
There's something to be said for all the candles 'round your bed
But you still want to be alone tonight
I’m sorry I keep having ideas
But imagine, if you will
All of the futility of the world pouring into a hole
And the hole
Is a woman
I’m sorry I woke you up last night screaming
But I couldn’t find my way back
To the dark and emptying fields
So I cloaked myself and ran into the woods searching for a wolf
I could shower with compliments in hopes he’d be kind enough to devour me
The tea has gone cold and I’m wondering why
I still can’t see the whites of your eyes
I know
In order to give up on love
I’d have to give up on it’s counterpart
And hate
Is a love I’m not willing to let go
So I hate you
But I love you
And I hate you but I love you but I hate you but I love you but I hate you
And I’m not willing to apologize because I warned you
This is just the way I am.
Here is every song that I will sing to you
And here is every letter I will write
There's something to be said for all the candles 'round your bed
But you still want to be alone tonight
The tea has gone cold and the water's gone warm
The house is so cold
Put your feet on the floor
Can't you feel my static too?
The trail has gone cold
Isn't that exactly what I said would happen?
And if this is the last thing that I say to you
If you choose this very day to leave
I will find you
I will transcend
I will swim the river Styx and I will hold your head under
Here is every song that I will sing to you
And here is every letter I will write
There's something to be said for all the candles 'round your bed
But you still want to be alone tonight
Here is every song that I will sing to you (The tea has gone cold)
And here is every letter I will write (The water's gone warm)
There's something to be said for all the candles 'round your bed
But you still want to be alone tonight (The trail has gone cold)

I was born in the year of the roto tom under a Casio moon
Reagan sounded like a real dick
I tried hard just to live and to get along
It was gone so soon
What was it like to have a sense of hope?
Modern man you don't know how to drive
Modern man do you know you're alive?
Modern man you don't know how to read cursive, analog, tea leaves
Drinking champagne in the snow, hallucinating butterflies...
You should no longer lead this expedition
Petty and scratch, you're sex-obsessed, no less a cannibal
And everyone just wants to feel haunted again
It's all the things you say you just don't want to talk about (Taboo)
Bottle it up but it always comes spilling on back out (Taboo)
You got advice, you got ideas, you got a big mouth (Taboo)
It's all the things you just can't seem to stop talking about (Taboo)
So sad the seeker on this lonely road
Long since abandoned by the others when surety entered their souls
My generation is designer infantilized
We're made to order
The future we were waiting for was just a simulation and the power keeps going out
It's all the things you say you just don't want to talk about (Taboo)
Bottle it up but it always comes spilling on back out (Taboo)
You got advice, you got ideas, you got a big mouth (Taboo)
It's all the things you just can't seem to stop talking about (Taboo)
So sad the seeker on this lonely road
Long since abandoned by the others when surety entered their souls
So sad!

In the land of France
Where the naked ladies dance
There’s a hole in the wall
Where the men can see it all
If you're dying for a wank
And your mind is all a blank
There’s a monster in your pants
And it does a dirty dance
In the land of Mars
Where the ladies smoke cigars
Every breath they take
Is enough to kill a snake
When the snake is dead
They put flowers in it’s head
When the flowers die
I see madness in his eyes
All the girls in Spain
They dance naked in the rain
The cops don’t care
Cuz they’re in their underwear
And the snake that cries
He will tell you dirty lies
And the lie they tell
Is enough to go to hell

I spend my Sundays with bad hair
Thinking about Nikola Tesla
And the color orange
My voice is so hoarse
From screaming in traffic all week
And at you
No one appreciates Paganini anymore
Or a good devil story
So tell me
If a tree falls in the woods
And David Foster Wallace isn't around to consider it
Is it unethical to eat it?
Don’t call me a socialist
I’m an undercover archeologist
We eat microwave leftover Renaissance for breakfast
Who’s gonna light Dorothy Parker’s cigarette
Or sing the laments for the living
When all men are eviscerated?
Is this a man or an amoeba
Are you content to resign your life to a quiet desperation
What was the question?
I wonder if Aarne had children
And if he read them bedtime stories
Did he speak of Dorian Grey or stop
For a commercial break

You fly too close to the sun
You wage a war can't be won
Should I hate what I've become?
The end's already begun
I'm digging straight through the earth
While I await your return
It keeps me busy
It keeps me young
It keeps me warm at night
You think I'm crazy cuz I follow the moon
I'll take my chances
One revolution 'til my flower's in bloom
So count your blessings
Perihelion
You want a bag full of cash
You want to rise from the ashes
You think I have a dark side
You don't know the half
You think I'm crazy cuz I follow the moon
I'll take my chances
One revolution 'til my flower's in bloom
So count your blessings
Perihelion

There's lipstick on my teeth and I want to go home
The butcher, the baker, the candlestick maker all look like they know
The men I love are better off dead so I won't have to kill no more
Candy in my mind and hate in my heart
I'm full of nothing if you take me apart
The apple is rotten
My tea has gone cold
The roof is on fire
The sun will explode
Go get your Bibles from the man at the door and all your dreams from the big box store
The woods are lovely, dark and deep
There's miles to go before I sleep
When the devil comes to my door I will love him better than before

Transplant Hexpet Frankenstein
Ace of Wands
Can't close my eyes it's been thirty years
Werewolf lullaby butterfly
Move along
There's nothing to see nothing to see here
Van Gogh will not die
Chariot cocolate cherubim
To the clouds
Tense ascension rented merkabah
Artemis priestess lunatic
Shekinah
Feminine remnant echoes Shangri-La
Van Gogh will not die
Milquetoast bootlicker genocide
What a man
Opportunist skeptic Capricorn
Kingfisher Neptune indigo
High tide
Mirror image endless sea of dreams
Van Gogh will not die

Sapling Massachusetts
"Most bands that fall into the noise punk category are either pure noise and aggression or electronic near dance music.
Sapling exist in both worlds, being both punk and groovy dance music. Plus, their songs feel both silly and completely serious at the same time, which is never a bad thing."
