lyrics

Say hostage one more time
And I’ll turn this truck around
Until you reconcile
The sharp black of tonight
Under galloping foot
You asked me to this
And I merely obliged
Clutching a lilac envelope
A floral stamp and a lumped up throat
Water mirage
Gasoline
Aspirin
Lateral movement
Congealing horizon

Temper temper
It’s too revealing
A garrulous girl
On an unbleached evening
It’ll cost you about a buck to find out
Stealthily folding on finger down

Street cleaner
Meter reader
Post-man and woman
We’re out to deliver
The letter is heavy
And the package is yours
I can smell the curves
Of the words and roads

My body rights itself
My words they write themselves
In a most remarkable and rebellious stance
Like telling time without seeing the hands

Say “love you” one more time
And I’ll tear this letter up
And set the pages on fire
Hell is for horses who sleep in the shade
It’s by breathlessness that you can be made

How many ways can I fold you up?
Origami
Don’t try to stop me
I wanted to tell you but I never could tell
So I send my songs out through the mail

On and on and on I reckon
All the times I tried to say this
All the ways I tried to play this
Broken blooms and fading fragrance

Dresses strung with hopeful laces
Don’t forget to tell the waitress
She would never ‘ere betray us
Sweet and low I’m bowing out

On and on and on my treatise
Until the sky returns for vengeance
Trust the mail it’s never failed us
Sweet and low I’m bowing out

Hyperion
by Krallice

supported by 10 fans who also own “The Mail”

Krallice at their finest--triumphant, labyrinthine guitar melodies, complicated bass lines that provide a dark harmonic counterpoint, and expert drumming guiding like a lantern through the darkness. If you've never been treated to their signature brand of USBM before now, this is a perfect place to start. PannionSeer

total brain melter! Krallice decides to take their music in a slightly different direction, introducing extremely chaotic and technical riffs amidst super complicated drum patterns. heavy Behold the Arctopus vibes from this one. n. charlene excelsia
