lyrics
So far, it looks like a cell
Organelles spread thin
Your RNA ladders don't matter
when these ribosomes stand alone
Ebb into new stars
I'm wrought from a bursting behind me
from nova to dwarf
You push me into the blueprints
for the universe expansion
You flutter the fan
until I am your man
You make me
You make me
You make me wanna file a complaint
to my creator
to my superior
I wanna switch the plane of my existence
I wanna know you in complete confidence
in subtle bodies, not physical traits
It's not an exaggeration for me
to count my questions in the trillions
I wanna talk to each of you as equals
I want you to seep through my skin
to be a lantern guiding others up
I'm begging to be kept in the loop
in communication constellations
because falling into your arms
is the furthest thing from foreign
Let's both recollect
what we're forced to forget
You make me
You make me
You make me wanna file a complaint
to my creator
to my superior
I wanna switch the plane of my existence
I wanna know you in complete confidence
in subtle bodies, not physical traits
Who's never ever ever gonna stay dead?
Who's never ever ever gonna stay dead?
I won't, I won't, I won't
Black-on-black background was painted
to keep our past between us
Add in elements of mystery
and an agreement kept in complete secret
But you can't keep it in, you could never keep it in
Because I've traveled this way before
I haven't forgotten
and I'm not the only one
who sees you in the mirror
I've brought some friends
We'll never stay dead
You make me
You make me
You make me wanna file a complaint
to my creator
to my superior
I wanna switch the plane of my existence
I wanna know you in complete confidence
in subtle bodies, not physical traits

This album hits a difficult balance between heavy emotion and good fun. It's great, and I am definitely going to be looking at future releases Jake Sowden
I really love Anthony's work. My reason for loving it so much is the emotion he puts into it, you can really see how much work he puts into every song and its truly inspiring. Chase Kleebauer
