WE MULTIPLY // You and you and you and I get a little high in the RV by the riverside and we multiply / Hold still, now keep moving, don’t shoot, now keep shooting / Keep howling, wildlife with flashlights, we prowling the forest / You and you and you and I by flashlight in the glass eye we multiply, intertwined / Like with like, same with same, every neck has its quartz / Every dream has its brain, every beam has its source / You and you and you and I, so serious, in the glass eye, the four of us, delirious / Trees swaying, blood splashing, songs playing, fast fashion / Code talking, seeing tracers, Name Saying, light flashing / You and you and you and I, by flashlight, in the glass eye we multiply, we multiply / Trees swaying, blood splashing, Name Saying, light flashing / You and you and you and I, we multiply

RECEIVING EVIL // A little drop of blood starts signaling like it was a little songbird / Some of these days, my brain is all a raven on my shoulder / When I'm on air in a crowd, I tune it out, but you can't dial down that menace / For out of my thoughts, a green-eyed blackbird rises like antennae for receiving evil / Why's death always leaning close to me, like it was telling me a password / I've got places I'm supposed to be and an amygdala longing for disaster / When I'm on air in a crowd, I tune it out, but you can't dial down that menace / For out of my thoughts, a green-eyed blackbird rises like antennae for receiving evil

LIONESS // Take that name on the road with you, do not forget it / Make time to drop that note you've got, you won't regret it / I think that lioness is stalking you / I think that lioness is following you now / I think her home address is in your breast pocket / I think that lioness is stalking you / You want to stay out here so you can be a soldier / But you want to get back home soon so you can see her, don't you / My word, it's worse than we thought: "Captain, this one's distracted! / I think he's thinking ‘How much damage could me and this creature do?’" / I think that lioness is stalking you / I think that lioness is following you now / I think you wouldn't protest if she would sink her teeth in / I think that lioness is following you now / Fly out to the far reaches of this brain space / We don't know what brings two people to the same place / Or four people, or eight people even / Is it just fate / Or is it some everlasting hunter, hunting us all for the thrill of the chase / I think that lioness is following you / I think that lioness is following you now / I think you wouldn't protest if she would sink her teeth in / I think that lioness is following you now

REAPER // My fear was growing arms; I know it meant to do me harm / I found it gnawing out my heart while I was sleeping / In the morning, in the mirror, it pulled me nearer, and told me “Once upon a time you were a dove, now you’re a demon / Who has control?” / Am I what the reaper reaps, or am I the reaper / Who has control / From the beginning, the guilty preached forgiveness / Live and let live, and let live leaves me too livid, livid / Midday, in the haze of a trash fire hover neon mouths, saying “Once you were in love, now you’re in fear / Who has control?” / Am I what the reaper reaps, or am I the reaper / Who has control?

STANDING WAVE // What's a little struggle, if I can breathe / She won't take what she don't need / I know this feeling / We know this game / I show I'm willing / She shows restraint / When we undertake to be so depraved / Then the two of us are a standing wave / We leave the world behind / On its glitching plane / Becoming intertwined / Like a standing wave / Like a standing wave / Knots are loosed, no purple bruises / Knots are loosed, no purple bruises / When we undertake to be so depraved / Perfect under strain, like a standing wave / Like a standing wave / When we undertake to be so depraved / In the tender ache of a standing wave / We leave the world behind / On its glitching plane / Becoming intertwined / Like a standing wave

GRAVEDANCER // If we left him in the border mud it'd be more than he deserves / Buried up to the neck for the ticks and the ants and the worms and the birds to find / I'm gonna have a little dance on his grave one day / Let him cross, let him beg for water, it'd be so richly deserved / Last seen in un piscina de sangre and it's none of my concern / I'm gonna have a little dance on his grave one day / Gravedancer / [Chris Conde:] I'ma moonwalk on your grave / Screaming Viva La Raza / I was born of native blood / In the land of the raspa / I'm the descendent of the people you want to / Leave cause you believe that / Land and seas can be conquered / And you believe that skies and trees can be bought / And I think you need to see that there's some fucking greed in your heart / And just like when there's an overgrowth of weeds in a garden / These things will squeeze your life and leave you bleeding to rot / But it's too late, you pay for the damage you make / And I hope you are comfortable since you are now sleeping six feet underneath / And I hope you remember why I am twirling and dancing on top of your grave / This for everyone of my people you chose to rape and enslave / [DJF:] Gravedancer / Gravedancer

GRAVEDANCING AGAIN // Since we only own our actions, we do a single-minded dance / Fill our bodies with compassion / Leave the rest of it to chance / We've got a calculated drag step / It's a coordinated spin / I guess we've always been the gravedancers / I guess we're gravedancing again / I guess we're gravedancing again / We've got a calculated drag step / We got a bloody hungry spin / I guess we've always been the gravedancers / I guess we're gravedancing again / And if we twist again like we did last summer / I'll see you in the street / I guess we've always been the gravedancers / Whole country's at our feet

THREE WILL GROW BACK // If they took my head, I know three would grow back / If they took my head, three would grow back / [Chris Conde:] I'm tired but I'm not gonna stop fighting / Got the rhythm underneath me to keep writing / Fatigue wants me to sleep but you see I am / In the middle of a storm thunder lightning / Rain pouring down all around us / Motherfucker you will never ever drown us / Or drown out our sound never doubt us / Won't stop til King Greed is crownless / Been at war for a long time / Blood shed from the bodies on the front line / But we repeat by three when we die / You'll see defeat retreat and comply / Your world is not yours anymore / As if it was in the first place / We're taking back all the land settling the scores / And make you pay in the worst ways / [DJF:] If they get my head, I know three will grow back / I keep baking bread and planting roses / Real power's built by teaching enemies to know that / If they take my head, three will grow back / [E-Turn:] Took in the habit, of hook and laddering / A good book out of a crooked labyrinth / I look mad, huh? Maybe cause I saw what all they took from Mahsa / Laugh it off, part of the path is having to wait / With the weight of a wave in the way all day / They scored an already-called game / Me, couldn't be more ready for the flame / Y'all caught up in hard luck, brought up as a martyr to Marduk / Offered the author of the plot of your own slaughter / All the product of your own thoughts / Be your own boss, meet me at the crossroads / We going off screen north of the Dark Kingdom / It'll start stinging when the shark's singing / With us and what they thought was an ark's sinking / From the weight of their own half- truths / It ain't like we don't have proof / And there ain't enough time to shift the consciousness / This time it ticks down to boom / Recipe's old, we're losing faith / In the news and the medicine they're choosing to make / Who does it benefit / You're losing momentum / The truth is slipping, getting looser by the day / [DJF:] (For every body lowered down / More fire going round) / And if they get my head, I know three will grow back / I keep baking bread and planting roses / It takes more than guns to kill a man, Joe Hill can show that! / If they took my head, three would grow back

OTHER LIVES // When I was a little girl I heard my voice singing back from the Arkansas River / Ever since I've been a man, I'm still hearing things / Now I wonder about other lives / Then I was an old, old man who let my young son die by an untied knot at sea / Ever since I was a boy, he's been following me / Now I wonder about other lives / Then I was a sandstone wheel, grinding, grinding what I don't need until only the sound remains / And when I'm gone, it'll keep spinning and giving me other lives / They're in the corner of my eye / Imaginary, but still / They're in the corner of my eye / Imaginary, but still / When I was a little girl I heard my voice singing back from the Arkansas river / Ever since I've been a man, I'm still hearing things

2 GO MISSING // If this is all supposed to be, why am I free to change it / Is it suffering to live, or somebody's entertainment / If I'm not the very wine-dark sea that sings me down, tell me is this shipwreck some musical arrangement / Will it ever be forgiven / Will my heart become a lake of
fire / I've been trying to go missing / Do I have to crawl in love like backing into checkmate / Will my every hit-and-run one day be weighed against me / If I'm not the very summer sun I'm daring to stare at, was it someone else's blindness and was I just the middleman / Will it ever be forgiven / Will my heart become a lake of fire / I've been trying to go missing / Is there such a thing as a calling, and who decides if it's any good / Am I carrying this body / Will I ever get back to girlhood / If I'm not the very dream I wake up dreaming from, will I ever see the red flood humming down the canyon / Will it ever be forgiven / Will my heart become a lake of fire / I've been trying to go missing

THE OBLIVION SEED // Someone drive, someone keep them awake / What do y'all think they called this place, before Talladega? / My eight armed, eight eyed, eight legged deity / This is where we planted the Oblivion Seed / Eight armed, eight eyed, eight legged deity / You and me, we planted the Oblivion Seed / Did you see one, or was it really four / Life could end tomorrow, said the last prairie warbler / Oh, life could end tomorrow, let's keep watering, please / It sprouts, it roots, it disappears: the Oblivion Seed / Oh my eight armed, eight eyed, eight legged deity / Do you remember planting the Oblivion Seed / Eight armed, eight eyed, eight legged deity / Didn't we plant it long ago, the Oblivion Seed / In tasting love, oblivion is the salt / In tasting love, oblivion is the salt / Everyone in frame, leaving their salt on the green / What do the monarchs come at dawn to taste with their feet / Oh my eight armed, eight eyed, eight legged deity / Do you remember planting the Oblivion Seed / Oh my eight armed, eight eyed, eight legged deity / Didn't we plant it long ago,
