Venison 06:39
Now that we’ve invaded your habitat Will you need a place to stay the night Rest your head on the asphalt and your feet on the dash Our headlights, your alarm, just barely graze your flesh They say goodbye and good riddance But I say it’s sad to be beautiful and hunted Its heavy and it stings; its smart and it thinks I squirm at the sound of a……… ….….….….….…. ….….…. ….….…. ….….….

“I won’t be nobody’s number 2!” That’s what I wrote in his letter, too How could a man just leave with no regret? And women start looking to replacing it? Are you feeling up for it, man? I think the cure is in your hands. Doctor, he said I’d always be loved! That my arms would always be warm enough! Now he’s gone, on I guess I’d better move- My heart stopped, now it beats fast for you. I am showing symptoms of sorrow again- Tell me the truth, is it serious, man? Put me under and starve the fever! (don’t feed it) I am fading with every wasted second! ¡Quiéreme o me muero!

The Catch 04:51
Meet my new friends: One, a boxer Two, are senators Three are lion tamers All pretty faces Together we’ll save the world From desperation and dismay Our house is under Water at the fault Of the government They raise the point: This city is a bad lover Too quick and inattentive Let’s sink it and build ourselves over How will we keep warm? Alone in our beds How will we keep warm? Alone in our towns? Silly citizens You know there’s a catch

Nicholas 05:47
Nicholas Avila I was able and willing But to love you is danger Your tongue drunk with venom Though your color still moves me And I’d break just to wear you To love you is danger But with time you’d have lost me I have my body bent forward and Surrender my promise It’s weight bears too heavy Surrender my fortune My path chosen for me Surrender my beauty Dammit I’ll lay it before you I surrender my lovers My envy, my lust Forever. I have my body bent forward and up Blessed and cursed its work never done
5.
Is this the last time I’ll see you Trace my curves or kiss hello again? Tall tales in lovers speak I saved the wrong man Is this the last time I’ll see you Trace my curves and kiss hello again Tall tales in lovers speak I blamed the wrong man Oh no, where did you go? Give chase, my maraschino It was the last time I saw you- Trace my curves and kiss hello again Tall tales in lovers speak I loved the wrong man Oh no, where did you go? Give chase, my maraschino I could of loved you with the greatest of ease (now we’re stained) but you don’t care to (now we’re stained) Keep me safe Now we’re stained This time around I’ll know what to sy: On a ete tacher I fawn so I know not what they say: On a ete tacher

You have a name that can’t be sung Lonely does it Your mouth wilts at confession Lonely does it A filthy word in your stomach Lonely does it This story of love A fantastic one Easy to live without When ripe with conviction Oh doggie it’s abandonment now But I’ll come back for you With a home built for us My fault, unconditional acts Lonely does it Called a coward of many sorts Lonely does it Unlike you, I give too much and take much more Lonely does it Dead weight on my shoulders Lonely does it But you gotta see this now From up on my rooftop You’re not half as big As you think you are But as I look over the edge I wanna jump so badly To get a better look At me, being loved Let my love spill out A color too ugly for you I shut my eyes tight Stretch my arms out wide The intention was never To watch my hair grow long But it’s not all for naught, no It’s not all for naught.

When tragedy strikes No words console Patience, Beth You’ll learn to cope Don’t shut it up, just let it out Grief is what if not loud But when you saw Oh, that Light A deal with Gabriel did you strike? “Tragic, yes but I wasn’t scared… I’m sorry that I left like this. Know that I am loving you And when you sleep I am watching you. Big sister, oh, my Light - it’s a shame but we have to die.” I know it hurts but good god girl get up and fight for it

By my bedside you broke the back And laid out I realized that Great a love does not a remedy lack A pale excuse to pawn the pact I cried afraid I’d forget them Too many haunting days Of what I’ve loved and lost here I’m trying to memorize the face. 3 years ago I sought great love A hunger artist who craved the show But when he said “I have had enough” I swore to not let the curtain close So to the front row I went With nothing but a glutton’s gift And I tried to convince you dear: Undo what you’ve undone! You will never know to what depths This back and forth fell hopeless But in the end it’s the want you’ll see Scaling the need, fleeing the scene. Darling revealed a grave weapon… Salt on the back of any slug Could turn a bad taste on any tongue Into some appetizing smut When my pulse does race Blood will drain from my face To think of swallowing down Anymore double-edged swords I will never know to what depths This tried and true pushed solace to madness But in between is where I’m damned to be Chasing the need, stealing the scene. (The Great Deception) S-A-L-T (The Begging Question) AND S-Y-N-C-O-P-E

Tabula Rasa 04:06
A city worth creating for Each little winner’s loss All the people said: You’d be better off to go And do what you want Then say you did what you could So now you gotta go Get out there on the move This is why we’ll start again And this is how we’ll get there So follow it And when you think you want to look back To see if I’m coming too Just remember this story’s twist: You’d prefer to risk it
10.
Lie still Don’t move til I say: “The fool wakes!” -My fiercest to date But I would have gone All the way Even if it didn’t pay Even if it was malice That made you a sage What fear Won’t fall from your lips But climbs up And sleeps on them? (The Snake, The Fall, The Rib, The Fate.) The Reparations And Preparation It’s getting loud Some ascetic sound For all you’ve done And all you’ll do…. Wake up! Wake up! Wake up!

When tragedy strikes No words console Patience, Beth You’ll learn to cope Don’t shut it up, just let it out Grief is what if not loud But when you saw Oh, that Light A deal with Gabriel did you strike? “Tragic, yes but I wasn’t scared… I’m sorry that I left like this. Know that I am loving you And when you sleep I am watching you. Big sister, oh, my Light - it’s a shame but we have to die.” I know it hurts but good god girl get up and fight for it

about

The 2002 debut Forget Cassettes record, Instruments of Action, blended punk, riot grrl, post-rock and channeled them into a visceral and raw explosion. The 2006 follow-up, Salt, evolved that sound into a highly produced - but no less visceral - version. Salt was never pressed to vinyl but with this special 16-year birthday reissue, fans can finally enjoy the entire album and it's b-sides as one cohesive package.
