Echo chamber
Swimming pool eyes
Blink in morse code
The truth and other lies
Am I still myself today?
I’ll check to make sure
Maybe one day I’ll find
The half of what I was before
Where do all these highways go
Now that we’re apart?
The lines on my hand
Are a map of a broken heart
Flowers of romance bound
Underneath the stairs
Bloom where you’re planted, my love
Or be buried there
The chemistry of common life
With no context
Reversed Oedipedal complex
Based on the power and not on the sex

I’ve seen this film before
That broken light
Of flicking tape runs
Behind my eyes
And how much longer
Until I'm through
When those songs, these melodies
Don't play for you
What if today I
I just stayed in bed?
And planned for my own death
Like an architect
Lately I’ve been
Dying in my dreams
10,000 days I’ve collected
Aren’t worth the grief
I spent the day sleepwalking
Shuffling through life
Trying to catch the glances of
Strangers passing by
Deflection and movement
I feel sick from the air
Locked into a suffering
And your memory keeps me there

Goat and Crab

When your flood surrounds me
When your waters rage and calm
I will float up on the mistakes
And the damage I have done
We washed up on the tide
That waved a slow goodbye
Into the depths I let you go
Perhaps I’ll see you down below
I'll write you a letter
While you weep at the door
By the time I'm done
You won't love me anymore
It said you're bad for me like cigarettes
But I haven't sucked enough from you yet
It'll take a hard rain
To wash you away
Rust, corrosion
And stain
Give me horns, give me horns
Give me something to be
The sun sets in the east
And the mountains eat the sea
You've got cancer in your bones
And it's coming from me
Oh god, I miss
Oh god I miss you,
I miss,
The cloth we’re cut
The seams we tear
She said to be
The man I can be
But I'm going now
I've gotta set this crab free

Some may say the riffage is "relentless" and suggest that every song was "an epic that rolls like sinister thunder across the land". I find Merchant an underrated band that hopefully will one day have as much recognition as others.
