Surrender your furniture
Push the television out the window
Overmedicated, this must be the sunks
So if you can't understand the blues, you dont know much
With much love for science and youthful defiance
We struck blindly at the roots of this tree
Its branches got broken, pissed on and trampled
Oh please forgive us, oh mighty shady tree
Oh please forgive us, oh mighty doomsday tree
It's time to stick your branches in the merciless wheel of time
It's time to stick your branches in the merciless spokes of time
It's time to stick a fork in the merciless socket of time
It's time to be sewn into the limitless fabric of time
They'll call you a wash-up when you can't stay sunk
It's a shame to be so wet so young
Living your life with much love for science
And the youthful defiance, we struck blindly at the roots of this tree
Whose branches got broken, pissed on and trampled
It's time to stick your branches in the merciless wheel of time
It's time to stick your branches in the merciless spokes of time
It's time to stick a fork in the merciless socket of time
It's time to be sewn into the limitless fabric of time
Push the television out the window
Overmedicated, this must be the sunks
So if you can't understand the blues, you dont know much
We struck blindly at the roots of this tree
Its branches got broken, pissed on and trampled
Oh please forgive us, oh mighty shady tree
Oh please forgive us, oh mighty doomsday tree
It's time to stick your branches in the merciless spokes of time
It's time to stick a fork in the merciless socket of time
It's time to be sewn into the limitless fabric of time
It's a shame to be so wet so young
Living your life with much love for science
And the youthful defiance, we struck blindly at the roots of this tree
Whose branches got broken, pissed on and trampled
It's time to stick your branches in the merciless spokes of time
It's time to stick a fork in the merciless socket of time
It's time to be sewn into the limitless fabric of time

I think it might be "merciless spokes of time", since they were talking about a wheel in the line before, and they are using more concrete nouns here
Who sings this song? It's clearly not Tim Kasher.
I think it is Ted Stevens their guitarist. I might be mistaken, but he also sings on Escape Artist.
I mean he sings he sings on Escape Artist, and if I'm not mistaken he sings on The Sunks as well. I think is weaker than the rest.
eighth hymn the horse of the apocalypse
Definitely the weakest track on the album, just seems like Cursive-by-numbers. The lyrics are pretty weak too, don't need 4 lines in a row that say the same thing. Still an alright song though.
Does anyone if Ted writes the songs that he sings? Or does Tim write them all and pick ones for Ted to sing?
I'm pretty sure it's "They'll call you a wash-up" not emotional. This is probably the weakest track on the album but it is good.
I'll have to disagree. This is one of the best on Happy Hollow.

It's spokes not hoax, and its a wash up not emotional.
