lyrics

o cerberus-
rear your ugly heads so i may cut them off!

you gave up the coastline to go and wallow in the sea
but you found yourself despondent when your boat- it sprung a leak
so you swam across the spawning waves, decidedly out of reach
youve got blisters on your fingers, you've got sores on your teeth
swallowing saltwater and bottle maps hiding all the keys
the gills you thought you'd have grown by now are nowhere to be seen
now you're tired from the swimming, maybe you should just be dead-
you've got sores on your teeth and a hole in your head!

o hopelessness-
rear your ugly heads so i may cut them off!

i gave up a sure thing to wallow in myself
to wander open-chested through a soft and flowered field
but on no bright horizon can i see the break of trees
there's nowhere else to go if i ever want to leave!
so i am floating through the tallest grass on the comfort of these clouds
enamored in the things i want but could never say out loud
growing resentful of the softest life that could brush across my hand-
what good is all this grass when i can only dream of sand!

o restlessness-
rear your ugly heads so i may cut them off!

well giving up the raging sea to swallow your pride and float
can seem an awful challenge but, sailor, you see you've got no boat
you must wash upon the shoreline lost among the sand
you will tear off all your blisters, plug the hole up in your head!
i will grow up my own treeline with a handful of soggy seeds
i will abandon the field and flowers- the fake things i thought i'd need
but everything still feels the same and i see where my fingers have bled
as i look around and lift my hand i feel the sand-filled hole-in-head!

o cerberus-
rear your ugly heads so i may cut them off!
