Fightgirl 03:28
Be hard, little girl people are buzzing There is nowhere to go when you want to shout that mornings are so difficult that no one gets it that politics are shit and no one can be trusted be hard, little girl dangers are creeping and you´re in the front row shout inside your mind harden your mask and do your best to explode and release your fury dunked in platinum, sprayed with gold worn as armour you’re indestructible reflective and bright, soundless and still while the floods come rushing explosive and sprite Be hard, little girl the fight is unforgiving and there is no time when the siren wails to kiss your home and people sweat starts dripping tears come soaking rage is flaming and everything is red The circles are poison dizzying, destructive so fight, little girl don´t think, just go so fight, little girl don´t think just go break the circles arrows held taught let go be hard, little girl don´t think just go break the circles arrows held taught let go

Cowering 04:23
We look for pattern but can´t help muddying them up with our dirty fingers clawing with thundering paws a delicate contraption shows you really know your stuff but oh how we set up pretty trinkets with sparkles in our eye sweep the floors of our inner house convince ourselves we are just being intimate I am cowering and so are you I am cowering and so are you I squint my eyes as if cutting you in two I am cowering and so are I am cowering and so are you I am cowering and so are you I squint my eyes as if cutting you in two I am cowering and so are you while abstraction oozes down the walls of our mind while we gulp down boozes as a way to unwind I am cowering and so are you I am cowering and so are you I squint my eyes as if cutting you in two I am cowering and so are I am cowering and so are you I am cowering and so are you I squint my eyes as if cutting you in two I am cowering and so are you

Ég er umvafin umkringd vafasömum hugsunum djöfulsins rugli losna ekki undan Þér finnst í lagi að klæða úr en ég á svo erfitt með að sjá þína raunverulegu nekt innra eðlið eins og þú ert í raun Komdu út að leika óþverrinn þinn komdu og vertu mennskur komdu út að leika plágan þín komdu og ég skal afhjúpa þig Þú ert umvafinn umkringdur allskyns hugmyndum þú kafnar í gufunni þegar sýður á þeim sem vilja þig feigan þau vita hvar þú átt heima ætla að fletta grímunni og sjá það sem þú ert í raun Komdu út að leika óþverrinn þinn komdu og vertu mennskur komdu út að leika plágan þín komdu og ég skal afhjúpa þig Nú þýðir ekkert að betla gagnslaust að biðjast vægðar eins og hundur Komdu út að leika óþverrinn þinn komdu og vertu mennskur komdu út að leika plágan þín komdu og ég skal afhjúpa þig

Does it look up to you? Does it look up to you? There, down, down below as low as you can ever go? Hunkered down In this strange bathroom Singing your never ending blues Watching a slow horizon The weird swim faster The weird surface faster As long as they long to breathe As long as they feel they´re hard Does it look up to you? Does it look up to you? There is no hope in the deepest waters There is no hope in the Kingdom of Fear There is no hope in the deepest waters There is no hope in the Kingdom of Fear There is no hope in the deepest waters There is no hope in the Kingdom of Fear You could have been a changeling you could have punched a hole watched the breaching flood sweep you upwards Eyes on the horizon Bobbing with the sullen moon Automatic movement Slowly pulling you in two You could have been the changeling and done something about it all ´cause anything worth doing is worth doing Right Does it look up to you? Does it look up to you? There is no hope in the deepest waters There is no hope in the Kingdom of Fear There is no hope in the deepest waters There is no hope in the Kingdom of Fear There is no hope in the deepest waters There is no hope in the Kingdom of Fear

Look where we roam look where we worship under a new heavy iron boot. Look how we roam look how we worship longing to roar with our drying throats There he lives there he breathes a mysterious wasp in a dying tree Farewell, farewell! to the high castle dream Farewell, farewell! to the long bright scream Here we roam here we worship frantically longing up a dying tree Look how we wear them look how we wield them kicking, tramping trying to take them off Look how we roam arms spread wide asking to fly from the dying tree There he lives There he crumbles Standing tall a son of wasps stingers for skin Farewell, farewell! to the high castle dream Farewell, farewell! to the long bright scream There he lives There he crumbles Standing tall a son of wasps stingers for skin shaking, straining trying to stand so still without crying aloud Look how he wears them Look how he wields them shaking, straining trying to stand so still without crying aloud

I Loved Them 02:26
The flower in the glass peanut bottle formerly in the kitchen crooked to take a place in the light, the closet door opened, because I used it before, it kindly stayed open waiting for me, its owner. I began to feel my misery in pallet on floor, listening to music, my misery, that’s why I want to sing. The room closed down on me, I expected the presence of the Creator, I saw my gray painted walls and ceiling, they contained my room, they contained me as the sky contained my garden, I opened my door O dear sweet rosy unattainable desire and skin’s appalling petals My books piled up before me for my use waiting in space where I placed them, they haven’t disappeared, time’s left its remnants and qualities for me to use—my words piled up, my texts, my manuscripts, my loves. I had a moment of clarity, saw the feeling in the heart of things, walked out to the garden crying. Saw the red blossoms in the night light, sun’s gone, they had all grown, in a moment, and were waiting stopped in time for the day sun to come and give them... Flowers which as in a dream at sunset I watered faithfully not knowing how much I loved them.

A brilliant scarlet sky cries icy drops that sting the moss it has no voice to scream just deep and silent inertia that above all else shall remain the same unnamed travellers tilt their heads they all sing the same praises but not a thought of what supports their feet the steadfast life of the ground is worth as much as the shiniest metals the last in line of the wanderers halts a tug at his cuff an unusual sense this must be the way home this must be the way home the hooded man drops to his knees howling inside unwilling to believe that his journey ends with a new direction towards the darkest places he digs his hands in between the moss ripping up hunks of the swollen earth this must be the way home this must be the way home this must be the way home this must be the way home a blinding red moon beats upon his back this must be the way this must be the way endless digging with battered hands panicked searching for an unknown end this must be the way this must be the way he seeps deeper into the soil dim moist heavy walls cover his ears repeat repeat this must be the way this must be the way he doesn´t fight

Creepin' 10:48
I see you creepin against the wall I see you creepin silent and tall Why you sleezin under the shade Isn´t there something you need to say? No need for cheatin, no, none at all No need for cheatin, a deadly fall A price for sneerin, just watch yourself Cringe too deep and no one can help Now you´re heavin, thin bones are bare Now you´re heavin, don´t show you´re scared Eyes are shiftin no one will see That is to say, except for me I see you sleepin under the floor I see you sleepin forever more No need for breathin under the shade No need to give away your hiding place

about

For Teeth Richards TÓFA disappeared into the woods for days on end, where everything insignificant was put to the test. The result are songs that make the deranged sound of happy people doing angry things.
