i am the creature i am the hand i am the features sketched in the sand i am the building i am the pond i am the adult who is saying the song you should catch the lion get on to tie him and lash that electron to the ion you should seize the ram you should strike the dam and release that adrenaline from the gland you should catch the lion get on to tie him and lash that electron to the ion you should seize the ram you should strike the dam and release that adrenaline from the gland i can feel the moment years away i can see the singer whose throat is clay they are thin as sin but fat on fate just like tea cold the tray i can hear the poet, i can hear the yell i can hear the the clapper split the bell here are the weapons that i could not sell my groan, my growl, my moan and my howl you should catch the lion get on to tie him and lash that electron to the ion you should seize the ram you should strike the dam and unleash that adrenaline from the gland you should catch the lion get on to tie him and lash that electron to the ion you should seize the ram you should strike the dam and unleash that adrenaline from the gland our home is changing taste the apple from this tree everything that was once strange is now reality my foot steps off lane and follows down the stream and at the docks, in every frame it is me up on the screen. i know that it is close it is breathing on my face but no matter how big it grows i will never find a trace so up comes the chain the sails flapping free for no matter where the camera aims it is pointed straight at me and here i am, a wave on the shore smoothing the footprint that were here before look at the kids, playing with sand planning their castles, shovel in hand look at the storm, the ships in the night they know what they want and they are ready to fight and here i am, in the waves and the wind without a feather, without a fin without a sweater, bare in my skin out of the net, deep in my vim out in this weather, without a tether, deep in the dim you should catch the lion get on to tie him and lash that electron to the ion you should seize the ram you should strike the dam and unleash that adrenaline from the gland "how long must i wait?" they had said for years “until the waves in my life wash away my fears?" here is the gun with the song in the clip here is the poem that cracks like a whip here is the gun with the song in the clip here is the poem that cracks like a cracks like a whip "how many people" they sighed as they gazed "must sit in the surf alone and afraid?" starting the charge, there in the scrub that is the lion, that was the cub pounding your chest, here is the ram built in your bones, that was the lamb "who is the captain raising these guns? and what is this battle that has begun?" deep in the bore, deep in the hold something enormous, feral and old deep in the cold is something you know that cannot be controlled it is something i know that cannot be controlled look at our friends, see what they brave the potential they had, the potential they gave arm in the gears and dripping with grease searching for battle, hunting for peace where is my mate, adrift in the mind speaking to shapes, lost in the lines by where whales beach by where krakens wake by where the bones bleach by where the mast breaks i make a vow, to the ones not here now to know) that what is worthy to break, is worthy to remake and what is worthy to crown, is worthy to drown

Swarm 04:55
i am the strange the picture that stepped off the page i am the vulture in the pie the craft in the sky i am the channel that will not be changed i am the coal the orange in the dozen molding out the bowl i am the the girl egging on the emotions that he can not control i am the stink the thing that floats in your drink i am the stain in your sheets i am the drips on your seat i am the creature crawling out of your sink i am the fuck the dick that keyed your truck i am the bitch that spilled your beer the enemy that is not here the snake where there should be a hole under sun or under storm i am sultana of the swarm under sun or under storm i am sultana of the swarm under sun or under storm i am sultana of the swarm under sun or under storm i am sultana of the swarm under sun or under storm i am sultana of the swarm under sun or under storm i am sultana of the swarm heeding not the common form and eating not their oats and corn i assault what is bigot born i am the salt and of the swarm take this blade make me proud find your prey end this drought take this name you are the thug leave your lace on the rug shake this world break this dam i am your boy be my man take these wrists now they're yours and use this nest for your war to the strange i am sworn i am sultana of the swarm to the swarm i am sworn to the swarm i am sworn to the swarm i am sworn to the swarm i am sworn to the swarm i am sworn to the swarm i am sworn to the swarm i am sworn i am sworn i am sworn tadaswarm i am the bruise on the brain i am the twist in the vein i am the prince. of the astral plane
