pages fold
you know doves will fly
wrapped in words
so happy you could die
those letters break my mold
what to do but try?
those dogs are getting old
by the yard we’d lie
heads turned down, an old sewn sound
wires tangled all around
i’m a clown, you make me frown
never thought to back down
tattered sleeves, go to town
north-east trees, all stripped down
tattered sleeves, i shut down
tattered sleeves, i shut down
pages fold
you know doves will fly
wrapped in words
so happy you could die
letters break my mold
what to do but try?
those dogs are getting old
by the yard we’d lie
tattered sleeves, i shut down
tattered sleeves, i shut down
tattered sleeves, i shut down
tattered sleeves, i shut down

could you tell me what i’m in for?
spilled my guts out
how the fuck could i give more?
dead faith, checking the score
bruised up my face, cast me out like i’m a chore
yeah
i just want it all
yeah, yeah
i’ve been through it all
yeah
feel alive, hear the birds call
can i make it out by nightfall?
yeah, i got it back twice
hands off, i’ll be alright
pay the price
clouds torn, sunlight
bet on my life
bet on my life
eyes on frantic
panic my vice
panic my vice
panic my vice
take advantage
string me up nice
string me up nice
string me up nice
lost the game, yeah i gotta play twice
gotta play twice
gotta play twice
lost the game, no, it don’t play nice
don’t play nice
don’t play nice
could you tell me what i’m in for?
spilled my guts out
how the fuck could i give more?

sign my cast
01:56
|

yeah i wish i’d never seen you
can’t focus, can’t focus
face that pack and i fly, hocus-pocus
wrap up the wound but i think their words broke us
sign my cast, leave words unspoken
sign my cast, ur hand i’m holding
that was when i felt your support folding
gas in the air and my head stop hurting
so i’m mad for no reason?
hit me on the inside, out for the season
string me up, cut me, let my role ease in
up early seeing demons
tapped out when i saw the blood still leaking
phone call, know he’s not listening to reason
slumped off a tab, i’m still not peaking
call u when i get home, tip the scales even
call u when i get home, tip the scales even

i get in my zone
u were blowing up my phone ya
n i cant even call u back i’m working w my bros
yea, tapped out
know i’m tapped out of this shit
think it’s too much
think i’ve had enough of this shit
with the team, think we d1
but i just do this shit for fun
smile when they show love
i guess that i’m next up?
go, u should back up
making plays, close up
never hit a pay cut
guess that’s why they hate us?
towards the sky, look for love
god in everything you’ve lost
i am everything you’re not
ur held back by what ur taught
hide my face scarred by rot
that misguiding light i sought
my ideals in a knot
it’s a cyclical plot
new vision
blessed light i witness
i bloom in the dark, in the sickness
that light i pull from the river
bask in the new warmth, i shiver

sketch a version of myself, whatever defines me
snowfall, hands slow on the upkeep
frail skin, i shake, pull the fruit from the tree
cut loose, place stars over the sea
it defines thee
strewn up in my bedsheets
ears ring, i can’t help it when she’s talking
in the backseat, eyes like the fall leaves
eyes like the mute sunshine, it surrounds me
thought i’d love myself when i came first
it’s conditional, spurn my thirst
i cover my face, i’m cursed
glass in my hands, ground i traverse
you were salt in the wound, you hurt
tried to tear it out, invert
arms raised to the sky, find worth
i could feel you there with me

find it
02:18
|

i don’t know what you want from me
star-crossed soldier
do a lot to feel free
step in blood, cold feet
steady aiming at a bright light
eyes zombie
paid girl, run a bag for free
give it up, it’s a small fee
blood-stained teeth
pop a nosebleed on my tee
in your eyes i see just what i need
i can’t pace it
i blow grams, i face it
the old me, erase it
i paint lines, they trace it
learn my lesson
it’s warm up in heaven
confirm what i question
i’d die for obsession

doll

you mark me up like a doll, so special
hold the match between our locked hands
wrung thin
stare through sunlight and trace me, leveled
flare your eyes on my back
twist me to give in
track the kill like i'm game
i'll leave no trace
tight at the wrists
too cold to resist
and you're looking out for a third strike
i'm clawing at your tone-drunk sides
by your bedpost, slept alright
track the kill like i'm game
i'll leave no trace

hang my head
seasons never last though
my burnout
shoved in the front row
they’d love me
never got the chance tho
they’d love me
never get it back, no
cell phone cracked on the side road
so cold when i reap what i’ve sowed
tough head-load, blame it on the zip code
scared when i’m alone, fear in my own home
bad lungs, faced, like, a whole ton
need faith, raised hands up to the sun
i’m desperate, deer eyes, her gun
shaking voices, what i can’t outrun
(bad lungs, faced, like, a whole ton
need faith, raised hands up to the sun
i’m desperate, deer eyes, her gun
shaking voices, what i can’t outrun)
thin skin, sliced up in the rough
no fun, feeling heavy, i don’t think you’ve really met me
tight-strung, i spun out, hold me when it’s messy
i draw, angels bow, love you when you let me
head down, i’m here now, intuition bless me
flagged down, wonder how i’d ever been ready
girl scout, i’m devout, chains on the wrist
dark mist, invested, how could i resist?
i lose my wits
i learn to persist
don’t dare make a sound, i bite my lip
hang my head
seasons never last though
my burnout
shoved in the front row
they’d love me
never got the chance tho
they’d love me
never get it back, no

take it to the face so i wont see u in my head
get no rest
it's just that i love you
petal on the ground, stay true
origami swan, sky blue
this ground i tread w/ my tabi shoes
skin i shed, will i lose?
skin i shed, born anew
i break down, break thru
like three, two, they count it down to test you
we burn thru, pack got me sick like the flu
a clear view, why they acting brand new?
yea, i always felt like i’m above it
took a chance on mine, now i’m bloody
it could rebuild strong but i’m numb
i’m a puppet
gone & dumb, losing sight of the summit
(lost sight of myself)
feels good in the shell when i’m lost
bad dog bare teeth, face that cost
feels good in the shell when i’m lost
bad dog bare teeth, face that cost

carried my life thru the midst
cut through, i insist
lost you to the mist
can we rub it out?
light burn on my skin
dormant, i resist
that pain in my chest
know i’d gave it all
they’d watch me give in, under weight again
skyline seems drenched in blood, i’m bathed in sin
make me a victim, role etched in bare wind
their hands fit tight around me, break me in
i thought i’d found love, wolf in sheep skin
it’s in those blind spots i just can’t fill in
i mourn those innocent words i’ve spent
write as i’m drawn back, how my mind would spin
it’s gentle motions, that’s all it’s ever been
is that everything? cut it off
carry my life thru the midst
cut through, i insist
lost you to the mist
can we rub it out?
light burn on my skin
dormant, i resist
that pain in my chest
know i’d gave it all

inside out
01:45
|

|
my memory is changing, inside out
newborn leaf piles splash around
and i'm so scared of falling down
muscles tense, i make no sound
if you were as strong as you always said
youd've kept it together, held that thread
you thrash around it, your face red
defenseless ground i dare to tread
i feel my heart drop to the ground
i'm lost out here, detatched, unwound
and my composition is spilling out
fabric tears, structures down
if i'd afforded myself some rest
i could've carved a path through this foggy mess
"take me, be my guest"
"take me, be my guest"

sunbeams scattered in the snow
i feel you now
feel you now
i’d die to learn but i don’t know
i’m breathing now
breathing now
clutching hair, the wren falls down
don’t you pout
oh don’t you pout
clutching hair, the wren falls down
screaming out my stupid sounds

Incredibly cathartic listen for me and I resonated with this album personally. Elicited a lot of emotions from me in a way that no other album has. Thank you Parannoul.
