Rabies version lyrics:

Unfurnished treeless barren ball
Rotates spitting toxins
Taught to destroy
A balance not unlike
Rotates farther changing
Directs
And wins each vision
Each vision blurred
Not ever thinking
Linking
That shape unknown
Linking
Progress
Undermine
Basic
Binary
Off
On
Off
On
Breathe
Exhale
Exhale lungs
Green shudders
Camera fixed
Over exposed
Skin burns
Rage
The amber
Violent
Tempered
Tension
Surface stoned
Water
Paper
To air
Dry cracks
Growth denied

Based upon 'official' lyrics as they appears in Storyeye in the Rabies liner notes; only minor changes by me to make them 'fit' more exactly with the album recording

Brap version lyrics:

Raping
A summer image
All rise
In a park too dark
Its eyes explode
The water poison
Missing every(thing?)
And the (trauma/dogma?)
An escape
On a perfect simulation
Of a park too dark
Breathe
Exhale
Breathe
Exhale
Caustic night
Water down
A life
Your shit
Eat it
Water
Paper
To air
Dry cracks
A charred face bared

Notes:

• The live version from Houston appears only on certain copies of the Spasmolytic EP and is not listed on the inlay (see the FAQ).
  
• The remastered edition of Rabies, while superior in all other respects, erroneously places the track marker for Amputate before the thunderclap that originally ended Choralone.
