Hinged By Spine

(album: Green Star - 2016)

[Zach Quinn:]
I've been deemed unworthy of ascension
The deities have rinsed me in reverse
Speculum obliviana
And like a bear trap
One single motion

I'm pried wide open
Hinged by spine
From my mangled form my heavy heart begins to lift
Ribs are built for breaking by design

Can't descend upon the southeast spire
Reference maps preserved to lead us home
Cannot face the droves of thoughtless soldiers
I've got a futon
Promise of freedom

I'm pried wide open
Hinged by spine
From my mangled form my heavy heart begins to lift
Ribs are built for breaking by design

Light surrounds us
Ethereal and true
Thrice they circle
And countless times I've failed you
Unleash the romance on the anthill
A treaty of concord
Beg forgiveness from the sitting duck
Violent true believer
Demagnetize my moral compass
Secretly hostile
'Tis midnight in the heavenly construct
The moon a deceiver
A beacon, an omen, an angel of death

I'm pried wide open
Hinged by spine
Whisked to my extinction
Leveled, murdered, and renamed
Ribs are built for breaking by design
