Honey 04:55
Honey Welcome to the radio variety show I am your hostess tonight, I hope you already know about my proclivities and my perverse ways chase down bliss that I turned astray, hey I slant my rhymes and I speak them low don’t wanna scare you off, pretty baby, don’t go just take a seat, we’ll get along okay, as long as you’re checking my flow, as long as you mean what you say. One more time, I’ll make the introductions I’m the empress commencing your deconstruction I’m the cavewoman muttering the incantations Motherfucking boss of the operations. Honey moves slow in the wintertime Infatuation, oo, sublime Honey got cold and I’m moving on Walk myself out of Babylon I went around the whole world only to find that it didn’t compare to what I hatch in my mind the humans disappoint me every day when they can’t keep up with the games I wanna play. Synaptic lightning, handclap aristocrat turn you up so hot I’m about to break the thermostats I’ll delegate you till you decompose dance baby, dance baby, point those toes. Honey moves slow in the wintertime Infatuation, ooooo, sublime Honey got cold and I’m moving on Walk myself out of Babylon I never signed up to be a brick in your wall I’ve got no interest in taking your falls you’ve gotta get a stunt double, on the double, like quick I mean, before my vernacular gets into your drip. That’d be the end of your day-to-day, I got verbs like a pistolwhip straight to the brain you’d drop your lifestyle and trade it for mine front so hard you get left behind.

You Know Me 02:38
You Know Me I’ve been talking to you too long You put ideas in my head I’m always listening at your keyhole I’m always wondering what you said Well, you know me, I’ve got to choose I don’t play games that I think I’ll lose Keep me spinning on your string, Lower me down under your skin Under your skin You can hit it if you want to I’ve been loving you for too long I know your devious ways I can predict all of your patterns I forecast seven days Well, you know me, I love the game I came to win if I came to play Keep me dancing on my toes, I want to roller coast those highs and lows Highs and lows You can hit it if you want to Baby, you know me If you want to.

Prison Break 02:49
Prison Break sneak out master plan blueprint promised land tunnel vision underground tiptoe silent sound get free shed the skin live in disillusionment don’t sing don’t cry songbird just fly out of my body looking down below I see my skeleton is not my home and I run and I cry and I age and I die this flesh is my prison these bones are the bars of my cage body talk never be at peace in my anatomy mirror weapon deadly shade shapeshifter everyday costume drapery, adornment not me blood flow bone crack skull whip brain snack out of my body looking down below I see my skeleton is not my home and I run and I cry and I age and I die this flesh is my prison these bones are the bars of my cage manacle overthrown prisoner nevermore green grass rat race picket fence tongue chase caution wind dreams live do make burn break

Walk With The Ghosts I am a passenger, cut loose in the stream I forfeit my diligence, I put down my dreams. I must repair myself. I must escape. I follow the traffic lights, I live to obey. I move through this city, I walk with the ghosts. No blood in my body, no fight in my bones. My sacred desire, my beauty profane. Silence the messenger, bottle the rain. I’d gladly surrender this human charade. I am tired and I’m cynical, but I’m not afraid. I move through this city, I walk with the ghosts. No blood in my body, no fight in my bones. So if you know mercy, let me flow down the drains. Send my soul to the guillotine, put my heart back in chains. I move through this city, I walk with the ghosts. No blood in my body, no fight in my bones. As much as you study, you still never know. As far as you wander, you still are alone.

about

The Handclap Hymnal is a collection of prayerful and poetic electronica; a child of lonely nights and neon lights. These songs will not assuage your desolation. If used correctly, they will serve to affirm it.
