The Fever You Fake Thundering in like it’s something you need Balancing whispers with rumbles all around Start to dissolve Facing facing the sea All of these fevers are floating around like ghosts that are dancing much better than you Spin by you spin by you all revolving and bold You never really close your eyes You don’t realize You’re slipping away You’re wavering on the wire You’re slipping away Remember the trails that we would mess to Again with the wings when they wouldn’t turn around Objection evasion fiction and lust At the wheel You never really close your eyes You don’t realize You’re slipping away You’re wavering on the wire You’re slipping away Come tonight for the miracle in town When you’re calm and a wreck And you need some eyes to look through You know you’re there You know you’ll drag it in With a fever you fake

Folded uniforms In a room at Canal Street Sharing fear and some time to keep There were so many doors to keep shut With an ending like a riverbed Spills for chatter And a run to the gate Took the dog to look for what he needs Search the drawer he’s already been through Filled up with folded uniforms And you’re shoving goodbyes away And I’m leaning on a photograph Did you know you were giving it back On a walk with a friend and a gun Sleeping in a train at the station Her hair glows through a wind shattered window The train rocks as it’s nudged by giant She wakes him as the train pulls away Then you’re shoving goodbyes away And I’m leaning on a photograph Did you know you were giving it back On a walk with a friend and a gun And you try to dam the live And you see right through Un-required And you see right through Many doors And you see right through

Unchanged the Lock Hanging out the window are you coming out Denied is good enough to kill tonight Crawl through rips in lives The lines are suddenly in my mouth So loud the world is knotted in her mind Falling through one narrow look at the meaning of There’s no sound coming out This light shines through your narrow smiling lips Waking up under the sun again Holding firm Firm and unchanged The lock’s still around Screaming eyes welded on Crawling through and ignoring it The pace you’re meant for Soft and low visions spew You screw your thumbs like a modern An hour it’s a common addiction And longer like a wasp in the blender Aware that there’s a code in the roof of your mouth I was delay I was an emergency stop Prehensile stare Turns into the fist you clinch You don’t laugh don’t laugh don’t laugh Piled up in a rustic myth Corner bag again No no no Don’t sing me that again

Stolen Stars and Lights One night my eyes were filled with stolen Stars in streams ripples in my vision Wet and reeling galaxies of water Star curtain ruptured by clocks and curses Smothering smiles Pills and cakes were raining Right on time back the car into the gully So tired of the time that they were keeping Stumbling in extending invitations Leave Here is where you leave it Leave Here is where you leave it Stealing light What good is stealing light From another star One night my eyes were filled with stolen Stars in streams ripples in my vision Wet and reeling galaxies of water Start curtain ruptured by clocks and curses Leave Here is where you leave it Leave Here is where you leave it Stealing light What good is stealing light From another star

X Is For Christmas In bed with fever laid Face in fire hands were hate White rope hangs down from above Hair still trailing in the womb Crimson pony what they're for Lonely lonely threesome fair Xis for Christmas In silent dreams A borrowed sleigh X is for Christmas By moonlit pharaoh silk is made In granite eyes Smiles fail and Cornered we were Ahab's whale Shouting all new golden thought Kneeling on some tender neck Stooped in fury hurry home In a car and all alone Lift it up and turn it on Diamond arrow pierce your need X is for Christmas In silent dreams a Borrowed sleigh X is for Christmas By moonlit pharaoh silk is made

Nailed in air I could be you All along I fled your trail You let me in Told me I was wrong I move into town Midnight roofing by your tongue Wounded I was wearing lead Collar firm the autumn moon Hanging over you Once you told me how to fall Once you showed me how to fall In the sink the dots appear I feel dizzy warming To the advance Careful strain Silent water half invisible Consecrate Come in crisis empty hands She’s a comma Nearly silent Drag me to our Thousand flaws to separate Once you showed me how to fall Once you showed me how to fall In the sink The dots appear I feel dizzy Warming to the advance

Plastic Furs 04:40
Plastic furs Little mess of time In a box you keep On your tongue the slow breath and dying Sun would disappear Everything is mouse gray Shiver black and urgent fingers In the cake like sorrows In your hair Plastic furs and rouge Scuffle in the hall Let me down let me down Let me count the antidote you’re stealing Let me break the mirror show the stain The plastic fur Let me count the antidote you’re stealing Let me down Let me break the mirror showed the stain The plastic fur Little box of time In a cage you keep On your tongue the slow breath and dying Sun would disappear Let me down let me down Let me count the antidote you’re stealing Let me break the mirror show the stain The plastic fur Let me count the antidote you’re stealing Let me down Let me break the mirror showed the stain The plastic fur

Holy Broken 04:23
Holy broken Tell me how this fits With the fits you’ve been in Push me out of bed Push me to the door Recognize me Rip the package open Holy broken Holy broken Still looking in Sucked and beckoning I will not move From eyes to close Tell me how you knew We were friends then Crawling through a cave Wet from your decline Still looking in Sucked and beckoning I will not move From eyes too close to call Tell me how this fits With the fits you’ve been in Holy broken Holy broken

about

Holy Broken was recorded in the winter of 2009 in Marshall, NC , in a cabin at the end of a dirt road. The songs are unerringly Sin Ropas: scratchy, catchy melodies, sick and glorious guitar, rickety pianos, fallen down drums, and otherworldly, junkyard sounds. But where Sin Ropas usually remains dark, this time there’s light crackling through the seams, illuminating all that’s beautiful and terrifying.
