"Branches/Bones" has made its live debut at the [[2017/07/19_Bakersfield,_CA|first show]] of the [[I Can't Seem To Wake Up 2017]] tour. It appeared on all but one of the shows of that tour, and at most shows on the first half of the [[Europe + Asia 2018]] tour, but was infrequent throughout the [[Cold And Black And Infinite Tour]]. It was then performed once as a remixed version in collaboration with [[Boys Noize]] on Act III of the [[Peel It Back Tour]]. This version shares little resemblance to the album version, but is not been performed livecurrently known to be a preexisting Boys Noize song, as many of the other remixes for Act III are.
==Lyrics==
The actual sung lyrics, like the song itself, are concise and to the point:
Still can make out pieces with the opening sewed shut
Yeah, I don't care
The embedded lyrics following line appears in some versions of the EP aredigital files tags, howeverbut not sung, far more extensive, some of which seem to be a ramble after "cold and black and others which seem to actually address the reader directlyinfinite...":
feels like i've been here before feels like i've been here before feels like i've been here before feels like i've been here before well i don't know anymore and i don't care anymore feels like i've been here before feels like i've been here before feels like i've been here before feels like i've been here before feels like i've been here before cold and black and infinite with nothing left to lose glassy bending flexible if you As well as the following, after "try to keep the flies away the makeup hides the bruise...":  why are you here right now? i don't think you're supposed to be reading this her branches are the bones that break become a perfect line and no he won’t be just a man who’s Sometimes feels like i've been here before well i don't know anymore and i don't care anymore i think i recognize yes i have been here before yes i have been here before yes i have been here before yes i have been here before yeah i don't care anymore yeah don’t give a fuck anymore and i don't care anymore
The following portion has been broken up for readability but it is presented as a single block Additional lyrics embedded in some versions of text and is ''mostly'' nonsensicalthe EP, at least at first glancebut not appearing in the song itself:
one way or another but the way things have a way
yes i have been here before
yes i have been here b
 
Descrambled, these lyrics form the below coherent text:
 
feels like i've been here before
yes, i have been here before
allowing myself to feel a sense of comfort in the past
not the actual events but the way i choose to remember them and you
i guess things have a way of finding order
almost everything i thought mattered
my definition of myself
what i thought of you
has proven false
in one way or another
please
all of you
go away from here
please
 
Further unsung lyrics are present in the CD booklet and vinyl cardsleeve:
 
Just a tourist.
glassy and flexible
She's the hour hand
see Im doing stubs of burnt matches down inside that
A trap with circles for eye holes, rip A rats snapped neck
she sees Im doing bad
sweep it out
rotting from the inside pulling teeth, Blood and cocksucking chicken wing
much like a piece place so slowly
And pulling.
Im rotting I say. I was over me.
Im rotting so slowly that it's
Like pulling teeth, so slowly that it's I know I am wire but the wires get ripped from the inside out especially her so much eye holes
Everything I say
I feel Im glassy and flexible
theres spiders legs everywhere and I dont care anymore,
I'm rolling and screaming and infected Japanese
Im rotting she feels
Black hoods. Fumes slut
I despise all over me
but it still craves man who's found a head sewn shut
and nothing seems to or feel it coming
Cold, black, infinite flowing nothing to give myself over to
I borrowed time
and no he won't be just a man who's Sometimes
I wonder if Sometimes I wonder if if it makes any everything
Everything's out of the air
flowing nothing I've been here before
I feel Im in the feel
her branches are bones
i'm the one with his head sewn shut
