Locust without the oxygen

What our lungs breath

Do our lungs need?

Surely this could be our last breath

There's no carbon for your dating

Backwards breath

Oh child you don't know

Circulation, tribulation

Lonesome tongues twist and wrench behind closed teeth and curtain speak

Lucid obstructions, manipulation, lacking leverage

Cold flame is set ablaze

Cold flame is set

Anxiety intermission

Said this our destiny, oh

Breath a beat so you stop the ticking

Compulsive pockets ache for more

Lonesome tongues twist and wrench behind closed teeth and curtain speak

Lucid obstructions, manipulation, lacking leverage

Lacking leverage (Loss of communication)

Curtain calls

You gentlemen

You gentlemen are litigious

Apologize for the gesso walls

Through the wires you watch and listen, and listen

Forgetting reprise so desolate to seek

No oxygen, no carbon, periodically
