Chip away and chip away
One day I'll throw the chip away
Reach inside and rip at the wires
Detach my eyes to see the fire
Chip away
Relentless consequences making lessons learnt
It checks out, 'bout time that I got burnt
Gynoid fantasies a human would see right through
I knew I'd never pass a lie detector like you
I'm bronze and bone, I'm blood and ichor
One day I'll figure out how to delete this ego
Chip away and chip away
One day I'll throw this chip away
(Relent left less a place to head rest
I'll rest my head in death's next best guess)

I thought about the desert
I thought that it could work
I found a way to get there
I started to drive north
I thought I'd be thawing out somehow
I thought I'd be thawed by now
I thought I'd be thawing out somehow
I thought I'd be thawed by now
I must have hit a hiccup
I must have hit a hitch-hiker
I thought it would be quicker
I thought I could be crystal clear
I thought I'd be thawing out somehow
I thought I'd be thawed by now
I thought I'd be thawing out somehow
I thought I'd be thawed by now
I thought I'd be thawing out somehow
I thought I'd be thawed by now
I thought I'd be thawing out somehow
I thought I'd be thawed by now
And I sit and I wait and I focus on the slow thaw
Let the ice melt away, let me take a human form
I was born in the dark but I'm not afraid of sunlight
I was born in this skin but I'm not afraid to shed
And I sink and I slump and I fall asleep on my side
And I see, it's your face (it's the snake) and I know it's not a dream
When you take your (it takes it's) true place in the sky high above the mountains
And you speak of (it destroys) the curse that was long destined for me:
I can learn to walk among men
I can learn to wear a mask
But I will never be one of them
I am bound to my own path

Thickets

Wake up and get things done
Race against the setting sun
Keep my face from every screen
These fingerprints are seared off clean
You were born hiding in packs
I was born hiding my tracks
Search for an eternity
You'll find your truth but won't find me
Comb a fine toothed fuck through thickets rich with insects
try to follow but you're burning precious light
An empty oil can is all that's left since they fled west
(You won't find clues, you won't find me
You won't find clues, you won't find me)
Running dry on luck, it's clear you're getting desperate
and this all could stop if you just said those words
You're praying to a ghost for guidance when deep down you know
(You won't find clues, you won't find me
You won't find clues, you won't find me)

You said you'd show me something, I thought of promised lands
Lead me into the desert. Told me I was a man.
I drank a viscous liquid from the palm of your hand
Held my head as I vomit, held me 'til I could stand
You told me that I'd get stronger, that under your command
I would become a soldier, I would be your right hand,
You kept a secret from me, you kept me from the plan
You said you'd show me something...
I woke up cold and alone, bleeding out on the sand
You kept it hidden from me, but now I understand
I thought this was my secret, I tried to let you in
Turns out you'd known forever and never said a thing

It's a deep black ink
I'll drop and sink
It's just dirt and grease
It's a release
If I could slip into another state
Where we could meet face to face
I don't know if I would
I don't know how it would change me
