queencabbage its coming up to a year from when i started to listen to st terrible, its weird its an odd sort of melancholic feeling that i get from knowing its been a year since i've started to listen to it, and hell has it been a great pleasure to listen to zach and his associates, simply because, its easily some of the best music i've ever heard, and ever will. i absolutely adore this album and the band collectively and the rest of their records. nothing short of breathtaking art. thank you. x Favorite track: Nothingness Vs. the Optimistic Spirit.

Nate Burr One of the best produced, brilliantly executed, atmospherically dense, and thematically impressive projects to come out of Boise since Magic Sword. The vivid imagery feels as though it's ripped straight from an art-house film. The vocal performance is remarkable. The variety in textures and instruments is stupendous. If I could buy this on vinyl, I definitely would. Favorite track: Nothingness Vs. the Optimistic Spirit.

{Behind the vastness of the universe, there is a laugh track playing} Cosmic Nothings, finding sleep Lost the battle while I was counting sheep Electric fingers, that run me on, Killed the moonlight, so I had no dawn What's been twisting metal hearts Years of beginnings, but they're all false starts Cosmic Nothings Changing truths A few strange thoughts and I'm something new Cosmic Nothings I'm just future dust of tomorrow I'm just future dust...(x3) i'm just dust

{A love song...about eating people} -chorus I- {The Invitation/Awakening} He's always sleeping 'round here Cut off his skin, he won't even notice Come take a taste now my dear It will change your life for good There's something growing inside I see the change in your skin and eyes now Oh what you'll do to be free Well there's enough flesh left on me (oh Darlin') -chorus II- {The Hunger/New forms} And how the blood drips on down You look so wonderful, wonderful now "You're such a fine, you're such a fine young specimen" I built a heart for you, while you were busy building your garden I think I see the truth, saw them girls kissin' in the garden, running all them bodies thru I'm just a snowman in June, a rusting tin man waiting for an ocean And with no flesh left to chew Them girls left me burning with my ancient notions (ah) -chorus III- {Destruction/The Celebration)

Violence (free) 03:18
{What arguments have been heard, between the body and mind, all dressed up to play their parts, as they cease to know each other} I can see it, can embrace your love Can you hear it, it's a thousand ways It's a silence, as a child I am Like a violent little lonely one So, it goes quiet I am more than just your home Come, so much violence to be held down by soft clothes So it comes down to dirty look Written pages on bookstore book Like a god dammed little child I could have scolded you, but I didn't try It's like violence, it's like violence ohhh It's like violence, it just is born with us It's like violence, it's like violence ohhh It's like violence, it just is born with us Take your coat off, put your hot hands up There's enough warmth here to be both of us It is wet and it's filling me with this sort of feeling that makes my knuckles twist There's a building "thing" in an empty space There's a picture here, but nobodies face Just come on No comment..(and no colour) Nobodies face is common, is common, is common No bodies, no bodies, no bodies...

{Oh to know those hungry, horny ghosts, endless in form and motion} (And) I'm talking dirty with the spirits tonight, with the spirits tonight And I'm, talking dirty with the spirits tonight, with the spirits tonight And it's... (The Spirit's chorus sings) Take my skin and take my bones Give me flesh to make my own First I'm here and then I'm gone Turn my shades of green back on Cause I'm talking dirty with the spirits tonight, with the spirits tonight And I'm talking dirty with the spirits tonight, with the spirits tonight and it's... Milky legs come spill your moon Come alive, clutch and swoon Tear me in to tear me out Never mind, it's allowed Swallow sky with starlit skin Turn me on to turn me in Push your lightening thru my mouth Electric tongues come pour me out
5.
Lights 02:38
Moving mountains, making motions I believe in bigger things Hear them spirits calling slowly, disappear beneath these sheets When do the lights go down When do the lights go down When do the lights go down Silence runs this broken body, I become a different age I can hear my bones all talking, take me to that sacred place When do the lights go down When do the lights go down When do the lights go down When do the lights go down

{I looked to the mountains, to the sky, to the stars, to the wild glory of it all. And to me it said "Shut Up"} (Pt. I) Here I grew fangs, here I grew fur Wild like a monster I ran, out thru the mountains Into the trees, far from myself Here I began, I dreamed of the world I dreamed of the world, I dreamed of the lost light and all of those girls The lips of lovers that I'll never see like a blood red moon cast on a dream Here I spoke hours, I danced with the ghosts I bled out the blood that I needed most But here I buried my body, covered in shame And there I lay, out in the sun, dancing for the rain Oh how it came, oh how it fell, never a heaven and never a hell I heard the world change in my head, but oh... "Shut up" the Mountain God said (Pt. II) "Shut up" the Mountain God said, "Stand in the silence. Begone with your head. All that you clutch and you hold, some day will fade, be dust and be bones." "Shut up" the Mountain God said, "All that you are now is nothing instead. Be where you are for the signs, all that you have is moments in time" "Shut up" the Mountain God said, "Leave it alone, live here instead. Go find a lover, stand in the light, crawl thru the Emptiness, love what you love and be gone."

Found my love, hiding in the shadows Pouring out my body, like a stream Loose leaf love, and I can't quite remember What it is or how it felt to me And I can hear the gods off in the distance Howlin' as they're laughing here at me I can feel myself become the nothing I'm pulling out, I'm bursting at my seams Here in my love, I found my shadows Something pulls me down and I feel nothing Traced across my skin and thru my eyes I'm speaking with the sound of all the mountains Everything looks different before you die Here in my love I found my shadows Now it comes and now it's gone, I'm staying Far from where I've been, it all will change Swallow ghosts without the past or present I believe there's something in the way Here in my love I found my shadows

{And at the end he asked her "Which of it was really me?" "All of it," she replied, "even the parts that hurt."} But if you need belief, then darling don't you fear I'm just a nihilist with some big idea And if you need release, well I will be right here I'll hold your holy hands while you disappear But in turn, I will warp, I will fade In this beautiful way All them restless lovers, all them ghosts in covers, all them wicked men In the end, they were all just the same All them holy words, all them gods in turn and all them sins In the end, they were ink on a page And all them dirty jokes, all them hearts we broke and all we've been In the end they will change, it will fade All things, All things end the same
