    Poster/Print + Digital Album

    For those who like to have something to hang on a wall we have made a run of posters of the incredible photograph by Heather Hryciw that was originally in the CD booklet. Staged at Sutro Baths in San Francisco, this photo was shot as a 4x5 positive using the very Deardorff camera you see in the frame. Corpus Callosum members pictured (front to back) are Stevie Hryciw, Zach Michels, Dax Tran-Caffee and Avery Burke.

    With the purchase of this 11x14 poster (which we will mail to you), you also receive a free digital download of "Machine Under Its Own Spell" in the file format of your choosing (we will email you a download code).

lyrics

you were born with you heart split in four
that's what you'll tell them
when they ask you why you frown
and you just like the view from the floor
that's what you'll tell them
when they ask you why you're down

and we've all gone insane 'cause we're all gonna die
we all know, but we don't know why

and there's nothing but tombstones
where the railroad tracks should be
it's such a tragedy
that good steel just rusts like that
and the mayor of our town's downtown
playing chess alone out in the rain
to the whistle of the train
and at night, he sleeps on the railroad track

and we've all gone insane 'cause we're all gonna die
we all know, but we don't know why

and through your makeup
your age begins to show
you're really much too young
for the things you do, you know
and the hummingbirds make their home in my eyes
and your teeth pepper the floor
and your heart makes food for the flies
and I nest in your chest of drawers

and we've all gone insane 'cause we're all gonna die
we all know, but we don't know why
