The fate of the world is safe in Crystal Castles.

FAINTING SPELLS

I'll make you forget
With the taste of lambskin
The bounty is yours
It tastes like medicine

We evaporate
Without condensation
But heaven is still
Your only expectation

I'll make you forget
With the taste of lambskin
The bounty is yours

But heaven is still
Your only expectation

CELESTICA

As we fall into sequence
And we're eating our young
Remain silent and still for modesty

When the splints have been broken
And they can't help you now
Do you pray with your eyes closed naturally

Follow me to nowhere
Woven with the utmost care

If I'm lost please don't find me
If I drown let me sink
We descended from no one
With a wink

When it's cold outside hold me
Don't hold me
When I choose to rest my eyes coax me
Don't coax me
When it's cold outside hold me
Don't hold me
When I choose to rest my eyes coax me
Don't coax me

Follow me to nowhere
Woven with the utmost care

Have they cleansed you with chloride
And scrubbed behind the knees
Has your body been hollowed by the breeze

DOE DEER

Deathray deathray
Deathray deathray
Deathray deathray
Deathray deathray

BAPTISM

Hold my head under water
Take a breath for the Father
Learn to love. Lessons repeating
The Chronicles are so misleading

This is your baptism
And you can't forgive them
This is your baptism
And you can't forgive them

Hold my head under water
Take a breath for the Father
Learn to love. Lessons repeating
The Chronicles are so misleading

This is your baptism
And you can't forgive them
This is your baptism
And you can't forgive them

YEAR OF SILENCE

"Minn besti vinur, hverju sem dynur
Ég kyngi tári og anda hári
Illum látum, í faðmi grátum
Þegar að við hittumst
Þegar að við kyssumst"

EMPATHY

Premise to
Interlude
Wait til all
Bones pretrude
You're convexed
You're convert
There's a stain
On your shirt
Semi-sweet
Semicide
The remorse
You can't hide
Now we molt
Past our skin
And make room
To begin

Symmetry
You must work in symmetry
You must earn their empathy
Symmetry
You must work in symmetry
You must earn their empathy

Down, down
Cities fall down
On me

The final
Chrysalis
Self controlled
Consciousness
Now it feels
Omminent
Done for your
Benefit
Eat right out
Of their hand
Its concaved
All your glands
We're encouraged
To forget
Preference
To be forcefed

Symmetry
You must work in symmetry
You must earn their empathy
Symmetry
You must work in symmetry
You must earn their empathy

Down, down
Cities fall down
On me

You must earn our empathy
You must earn our empathy
You must earn our empathy
You must earn our empathy

SUFFOCATION

We ignore refused consent
Animals do not repent
Courtesy to intervene
Weathered down my selfish needs

I suffocate
And promise me you won't resuscitate
And if i change my mind it's far too late
I'm wasting my days as i've wasted my nights and i've wasted my youth
You're waiting for something
You've waited in vain because there's nothing for you
Suffocation
Humility yet to be seen
Models made of plasticene
Morality disgrace us now
Entertain and take a bow

I suffocate
And promise me you won't resuscitate
And if i change my mind it's far too late
I'm wasting my days as i've wasted my nights and i've wasted my youth
You're waiting for something
You've waited in vain because there's nothing for you
Suffocation

VIOLENT DREAMS

VIETNAM

BIRDS

Layers of lace
Held in place
Diagnosed you're a ghost

Show up throw up into the womb
Show up throw up into the womb
Show up throw up into the womb
Show up throw up into the womb

Pull out their eyes
Apologize
Emerald waves to lubricate

Show up throw up into the womb
Show up throw up into the womb
Show up throw up into the womb
Show up throw up into the womb

PAP SMEAR

You never got to bloom
They cut you from the stem
You're innocent at birth
Until you understand

Repeat every word that you say to me
They put you to use or put you to sleep
I cant tell you the difference between
An embryo or a planted seed

So many shades of white
So many shades of pale
I know what you hate
So i do it constantly

Many shades of white
Many shades of pale
I know how to cut
A wound that will not heal

Consistancy of dirt
Insects that spun your silk
They wait for gratitude
They wait for mother's milk

Repeat every word that you say to me
They put you to use or put you to sleep
I cant tell you the difference between
An embryo or a planted seed

So many shades of white
So many shades of pale
I know what you hate
So i do it constantly

Many shades of white
Many shades of pale
I know how to cut
A wound that will not heal

NOT IN LOVE

I saw your picture hangin' on the back of my door
Won't give you my heart
No one lives there anymore
And we were lovers
Now we can't be friends
Fascination ends
Here we go again
Cause it's cold outside, when you coming home
Cause it's hot inside, isn't that enough

I'm not in love

Could it be that time has taken it's toll
Won't take you so far, i am in control
And we were lovers
Now we can't be friends
Fascination ends
Here we go again
Cause it's cold outside, when you coming home
Cause it's hot inside, isn't that enough

I'm not in love
I'm not in love
I'm not in love
We are not in love
We are not in love
We are not in love
We are not in love

INTIMATE

Collecting hearts
Another love is another place to stay Another face
We close our eyes and feel our way
A new fit
You're Positive but they don't need to know
Another boy another girl another place to go

It feels like sleep
It feels like being born
Return to soil
Return to frailer form

I AM MADE OF CHALK

PLAGUE

I need you pure I need you clean
Don't try to enlighten me
Power to misconstrue
What have they done to you

Infants in infantry
Rewrite their history
Uproot their colony
You're ripe for harvesting

Virgin cells to penetrate
Too premature to permeate
They can't elucidate
Never thought I was the enemy

I am the plague
I am the plague

They fake sincerity
Thy gifts dont give to me
Now you've been anointed
They've been asking for it

Infants in infantry
Rewrite their history
Uproot their colony
You're ripe for harvesting

Virgin cells to penetrate
Too premature to permeate
They can't elucidate
Never thought I was the enemy

I am the plague
I am the plague

I need you pure I need you clean
I need you pure I need you clean

KEROSENE

Light of God dimming weak
Nothing's wrong go back to sleep
Lost the will at infancy
Drown them in charity
Lend them comfort for sorrow
Enthusiasm they borrow
I can clean impurity
Wash away with kerosene

Can't offend my modesty
Thank you for defiling me
Language pure as binary
Instruct with dishonesty
In nature there's no tragedy
Bandage them in tapestry
Trade comfort for identity
Drown me in kerosene
Kerosene

I'll protect you from
All the things ive seen
And I'll clean your wounds
Rinse them with saline
Kerosene

WRATH OF GOD

Christen them
with paraffin
Sterilize samaritans
Contravene loyal ties
Migrate them
through the pesticide
They'll strip you of your heritage
Heritage
They'll strip you of your heritage

AFFECTION

Catch a moth hold it in my hand
crush it casually
Without past I can't disappoint
my ancestry
Forever can I sleep inside
your menagerie

Catch a moth hold it in my hand
crush it casually
Without past I can't disappoint
my ancestry
Forever can I sleep inside
your menagerie

We drown in pneumonia not
rivers and streams

PALE FLESH

Place the ash on their foreheads
An impression to embed
Born-Again before teething
Collect tears from their weeping

Oh hiding them under the seafoam
Package them like a cheap gift
You're nesting under the corridor

Place the ash on their foreheads
An impression to embed
Born-Again before teething
Collect tears from their weeping

Oh hiding them under the seafoam
Package them like a cheap gift
You're nesting under the corridor

Adolescent fiance
I'm just flesh to give away

SAD EYES

She wears her veil at night
Shadows cast uninvite

Discourage affection

Sad eyes
Sad eyes
You can't disguise sad eyes

Feign care and warm concern
The kiss you did not earn

Discourage affection

Sad eyes
Sad eyes
You can't disguise sad eyes

INSULIN

We dissolve everything
Scratch follicles so they don't grow
Expose your shame for all to see
Sell your bones as ivory

Perfume in my blood
Nails grow through the glove
Bruise my embryo
Lay them down lay them down in rows

I sleep for you when you're exhausted
Your first born will be accosted
Fill their lungs with tar and sage
Make the stem cells act their age

Perfume in my blood
Nails grow through the glove
bruise my embryo
Lay them down lay them down in rows

TRANSGENDER

will you ever preserve will you ever exhume
will you watch petals shed from flowers in bloom
nothing can live up to promise
nothing can stop its narrative
nothing in place of catalysts
and you'll never be pure again

VIOLENT YOUTH

show up in your lace
drink up little girl
and they will always let you down
hold your mother's pearl
show up in your lace
up to your cheekbones
prevention is the only cure
kiss them through windows
throw up in your plate
look angelical
if you sleep before i arrive
i'll pray for you my girl
a flower on fire
and i will always let you down

TELEPATH

/// /// ///

MERCENARY

Silhouettes caress without feeling
Who'll be your mercenary

Let the trespassers stay
Decorate starving strays
You can not convert me
Reparations unseen

Silhouettes caress without feeling
Who'll be your mercenary

They dress them up in lace
Underage have their way
Join them in solitary
Should be voluntary

CHILD I WILL HURT YOU

Keep them locked away
Reduce them to strays
Clean their cuts and scrapes

Mercy we abstain
Hope you're entertained
Snow covers the stain

Forray forever

Taught them with solace
They know a soft caress
To lower your defense

Hide all that you could
Done for the greater good
It's later understood

Forray forever
