this box is lovely
that I made
that you may open up whenever you're lonely
you know, there's nowhere left to go..
you magnify the additives
it correlates the angles
I'm staring in the wrong direction

well take back
when it's time for relief it's so...
it's so hard leaving you...

when shes heretic
my body is a witch
I am burning it
wake up for this wish
and I resonate
I have seen my fate
I am sinking
oh, captian I am sinking

well take back
when it's time for relief it's so...
it's so hard leaving you...
for if I leave your empty smile

explode into four
and on the last I will
for our eyes, one by one

while everybody else could be..
fading out
for all this, for all this
well everybody else could be
saying
for all this, hope for all this, hope for

secrets and irises open the door
to a pride of lions and murder of crows
no one knows how I began
but how Ill end...

you're focused in the reason why
I'm far beneath the answer
you're acting like a separation

well take back
when it's time for relief it's so...
it's so hard leaving you...
for if i leave your empty smile
explode into four
and on the last I will
for our eyes, one by one

    My Interpretation:everything that is not in parentheses is 100% correct

    This box is lovely
    that I made
    You may hope I hollowed every part out
    and now there's no room left to grow

    you magnify the additives
    sin (forever rates) the angles
    I'm staring in the wrong direction

    we'll take back
    when it's time for relief it's so...
    it's so hard leaving you here

    flesh is heretic
    my body is a witch
    I am burning it
    wake up for this switch
    and i resonate!
    I have seen my fate!
    i am sinking
    Oh, captain i am sinking.

    we'll take back
    when it's time for relief it's so...
    it's so hard leaving you here

    for if i leave your empty smile,
    this world needs to burn.
    (for if i leave for our eyes
    one by one)

    (while) everybody else could be..
    (fading) out
    for all this, for all this
    well everybody else could be saying
    for all this, hope for all this, hope for

    secrets and irises open the door
    to a pride of lions and murder of crows
    no one knows how I began
    or how I'll end

    you're focused in the reason why
    I'm far (beneath) the answer
    you're acting like a separation

    well take back
    when it's time for relief it's so...
    it's so hard leaving you here

    for if i leave your empty smile,
    this world needs to burn!
    and on the (last I will
    ..... currently indecipherable yelling)

    .....(still indecipherable)

    it absolutely does say sin, and possibly "sin correlates the angles" which makes sense

    General Comment:orendt, Mr balling definitely says:
    "flesh is heretic."

    look up the poem Anorexia by Eavan Boland

    on the DvD it sounds like ag says:
    "sin fora reach the ankles"
    fora's a noun meaning chains, just a guess
    makes sense

    General Comment:"it correlates the angles" sounds more likes "sin for and reach the angles"

    General Comment:Flesh is heretic
    My body is a witch
    I am burning it.

    It's from a poem, Anorexic by Eaven Bowland

    poemhunter.com/poem/anorexic/

    The theme of TSOAF, to me, is rising out of our flawed human forms into higher consciousness. Thus, the repeated use of the first lines of this poem.

    General Comment:Shit, see, everyone swears it's "Correlates the angles" which makes sense if that's what it actually sounded like, but it doesn't sound like that and I hate my friend Dakota Clark because he's a big baby.

    General Comment:To me it kinda sounds like.

    You magnify the evidence
    Sin forever reads the angles

    It sounds like he is saying 'forver' or something so maybe hes just singing it weird. After all, everyone thought 'reads' sounded like 'rates' because of the way he was singing it.

    General Comment:I sorta think it goes:
    "Vicious Heretic
    my body is a witch
    I am burning it,
    I can afford this switch"

    "You magnify the evidence
    sin (unknown syllable) reads the angles
    I'm staring in the wrong direction"

    I cut out that last part where I guess it's "sin (blank) reads the angles" with Audacity and slowed the tempo, repeated, etc, and he definitely says something about sin (which would makes sense in the context of the heretic and burning a witch) but I'm 100% positive that, as long as it's not grossly mispronounced, he's not saying "correlates."

    General Comment:x-Country Kid, most bands alter the lyrics in shows. The album lyrics, for the most part, are correct.
