Absolute Future
Everything will not be made right
Everything will not be made right
It's childish I know,
Pretend the world is listening
Ignore the sound for now
I just heard God give in
There's much to be left over
When we're swallowed by the end
The cockroaches and Darwin
Had a deal
Drowning The Old Hag
I can't get her off of my chest unless I'm sleeping on my side
It's like drowning when the water may only exist in my head
So I'll put a hole there and let my seas spill onto your shores
Rendering your plane of thinking a dizzy little girl on the edge of the world
Don't tell me that there is nothing to fear
Trying to share it is a reckless endeavor
I can't take the weight of this head full of water
I don't sleep
I hardly move
You won't sleep you won't move at all
When what you see and what you believe are two different things
You can really start to wear down and lose it
And they will never see it
Mouth
Sluts in skirts, scattered all over this scrabble board
and it's no wonder very few words worth using are being played.
All this unintelligible squawking is drowning out anything
worth listening to, so we're dumbing down everything
and using huge hand gestures trying to get a point across
to the deaf and blind. Chubby disgusting infants
in a giant damp crib teething and in dire need of a mothers
rum soaked digit. Anything to numb anything to encourage
ignorance. Anything to put us to sleep.
Someone, anyone, take off your shirt and pacify.
Make it easy for us to eat, easy for us to sleep.
I think we deserve it rephrased!
Someone, anyone, take us out back and put us down!
I think we deserve it.
Because it's not far from pleasure island where this
pink flesh gets it's fur. It's there that the noise you speak
can finally be heard. It will make sense to the rest of
your four-legged stench-ridden gluttonous kin.
You can feel comfortable in your skin.
You will feel comfortable in your skin.
We're trying to speak clearly but our voices get
drowned out by the over-excessive braying and
the always open mouth...
Taking Cassandra To The End Of The World Party
No one makes it out alive
But I know where the killer hides tonight
No one makes it out alive
But I know where the killer hides
I saw this night and the next
Erupt in flames for years ago
They scurry like roaches
Stomped out by fire
I warned these insects not to move
But no one ever listens
Don't believe this girl
She preaches mayhem
She's the devils bitch and a liar
I want to see the look in her eyes
When her body parts ways with life
No one listens to the damned
No one listens to the damned
At six miles up you will explode, I can see it all
No one listens to the damned
At sea level you will be drowned, I have seen it all
No one listens to the damned
Beneath the surface, the monster will have you
No one listens to the damned
But god damned, no one will believe me.
No one listens to the damned
Ten Seconds In Los Angeles
How he knows every wretch's death
and none of them are crystal believers.
They all shiver under fate's icy breath,
but turn their face to the seeming deceiver.
Alarm!!
to all the foul aberrations
(parasites...)
who feed off the disgust of the masses,
all joined together to make a scrap of a living.
The eye sees all. The eye says so.
Like the foul, gasping breath of those who are paying.
He sees all. He says so.
Behold!!
Their defective bodies in wonder,
the creeps and whores, the wicked and deformed.
Amazement paints the faces in the rickety bleachers,
they scream for more of the modern horror:
Such monsters steal the eyes of the healthy,
and bind their souls away in the limelight.
(only one knows their awful end)
A justified torturous completion
of all their wrong doings and black sins
forcasted in crystal visions,
slouched over the clear Seeing Eye.
He marks down each death and he quivers...
How he knows every wretch's death
and none of them crystal believers.
The Waiting Makes Me Curious
Just like I came into this world
all by myself, I will leave it.
I stared into the serpents eyes
And then for once I felt alive.
Just like I came into this world
all by myself, I will leave it.
And if this world wasn't built for me
there is no point at all.
Hold onto your vice and I will hold onto mine.
Think it but don't say it...
Your day will come
Twenty-seven invincible years,
where do you go where nowhere feels like home?
And I can't sleep a wink so i'll tell you when I get there.
I'll walk into the light,
but the lights fading away.
High As A Horse
If we give the horses blinders
They won't see the approaching ledge
Too much time and effort spent on just another bridge
We trust the local doctor
We trust the medicine
Our child gets a scratch
We give our child a brand new head
We eat what's on our plate
We drink what's in our cup
We like the shiny tv screen
It spits we lap it up
And so they push this product
And they know we'll buy it
They sing a song
We hum along
We sing
But we don't understand the words to the song
And they fill our heads
With sugar coated shit
Cause there's no need to talk
When we have medicine
There's a pill for every fucked up thought
And a cure for every fucked up child
When the mind starts running
Be sure it won't cross the finish line
And if it wanders
Bring it back and cage it for some time
And if it stretches
It will only one day rip
To prevent excessive thought
Just keep it up on the shelf
And when the shelves are full
And supplies are short
And quickly running out
You've got a thousand mindless zombies
And terrified horses on your hands
It was a damn good plan
It was a damn good plan
Dog Sized Bird
Have you seen me lately?
I am the dog sized bird on the tracks
I have an unhealthy handful of options
And a couple of trains on my back
I'm picking at remains of other lives
And watching colors and tragic looking passerbys
I am the dog sized bird
Picking at bones
Losing my nerve
Constantly calculating
There's time between trains, I know
There's time between trains, I know
And a right moment
To find a new set of tracks
There's time between trains
I know exactly how long
But I'm testing my conviction
And I may be primed for picking at any time
Complete And Utter Confusion
There's a man from the afterlife at the door trying to sell us hope
Lock the doors and close the windows
We hear it, we see it, you better believe it
We try it, then buy it, and some of us breathe it
The slick dark men in their slick dark suits
Are gonna take your children away
(I bet you bought that)
We ask for less, they give us more
Mr. and Miss, there is a cure
It's better now
Is it better now?
Kill the head before the body is infected
Better now
Is it better now?
Spare the body before the mind gets the best of..
And now we God bless this nuclear family!
(A picture-perfect American standard)
And so it's "God bless this bouncing new baby!"
(Raised in a world that's all sugar, sex and money)
Can you sense the sarcasm in my tone?
(Just take it, adjust it)
Chances are it suits you well
Tell me what it is that you fear the most
(We'll take it and use it)
Put it on the radio
... As A Result Of Signals Being Crossed
You can't keep God off the radio
Don't let him in
You can't keep the Devil from the media
Don't let him in
There is always a salesman at the front door
Don't let him in
The church is trying to peddle something much worse
Don't let them in
What you see
And what you believe
Are never gonna be the same
The spiders
The monsters
The demons
The suggesting tapeworm
You don't like us do you?
But you can't find us can you?
There is always a salesman
There is always a sale
There's a devil
And a family on their knees tonight
My Fucking Deer Hunter
When we start, we lack a rulers knowledge
When we grow, we gain the tools to conquer
I'll kill the king just for a taste of copper
Where did the fins go?
What are these limbs for?
If we leave, we don't return...
I'll have his wife to display my power
I'll drink his wine and spit it right back out
Somewhere I grew legs
There's a wall out past the shallow waters
Where there's god and all his faithful followers,
they remained, endured the taste of salt
There's a beast who swallowed up his soldiers
Drew them out into the cities and shores
Gave them greed and made them slaves...
There's a wall out past the shallow waters
([Anthony Green:] And I'm a shark with legs in a tie)
Where I can't see but I can sense my father
([Anthony Green:] With a trophy wife at my side)
He can see me, oh so clearly
([Anthony Green:] And I'll beat her because she's mine)
There's a beast who had me at hello
([Anthony Green:] And birth a nuclear set of swine)
And a building where I never go
([Anthony Green:] But if they leave they wont return)
If we leave, we don't return
([Anthony Green:] And I'll eat her because she's mine.
And they'll kneel each and every night and when they sleep, they won't wake up.
And if they leave, they won't return)
Lycanthropy
I can feel a pull from the outside world
A lonely shadow in the moonlit night
I can feel a pull from the outside world
A lonely shadow in the moonlit night
I can feel a pull from the outside world
Please pull me up with the oceans
Music is seen, colors are heard
A dark vision of senses
Is this tasting the world?
To ruin the illusion
Is this primal or futile?
Is this instinct or evil?
Is this right or wrong?
I can feel a change
Yes I can feel a change inside me
Inside you
I can feel a change
Yes I can feel a change inside me
Inside you
Gnashs through each stranger in the night
Your eyes will be opened
It will be too bright to see reality
When I wake up
In the morning
The taste lingers
On my lips
A love lost a lovers breath
What's best for me tonight is to let my coat fill in
A swift killer at each bite
People change when the pleasure starts to spoil
To my touch vivid colors appear
Dark visions it was all too bright to see
Reality what if this is all there is?
So sad to hear
Oblivious to the obvious thats you
That's you
A love lost a lovers breath
Whats best for me tonight is to let my coat fill in
I'll be on my way in flight
A Brief Tutorial In Bachanalia
"Hey man, heard you're a real clean shot!"
(When I've got a couple drinks in me, and I've got a couple drinks in me!)
"Hey man, heard you get the job done!"
(When I've got a couple drinks in me, I'm known to practice apathy!)
When you see me stagger
Know I'm being antagonized by what you can't hear
And just moving with the current
Current state of self embalment
Where I don't involve myself in human affairs
Just leave me an address on where I live
I'll make it slow and painful
I don't ask for much
(They will lead us out of town, straight out of town,
we can dodge the freight cars, just passerbys in the morning)
A few bills, and the occasional, occasional, occasional human touch
(I won't move if you won't move, and I won't move if you won't move,
trade cigarettes for stories, you and I the Lords of the Rails,
straight out of town and that is why we follow the pennies lay for we have stories and smokes)
Drink to take the edge off
I told you that I'd bring you my head
I told you I was better off dead
Have you heard the kind of shit that I've said?
Cause I'm a mad, mad man, no, I'm not a mad man.
I told you if you slipped me a drink...
I told you not to speak when I'm thinking
I told you I was having a hard time sleeping
I'm a sad, sad man, yeah I'm a real sad man!
There's empty bar stools
(To each of my sides)
And empty glasses
(So who the fuck's talking?)
And who's covering the tab?
Just a lonely man with a deathwish
(And a head full of crossed wires)
Making a deal with himself
(He keeps talking)
He keeps nodding
You do this to yourself, old man
A SICK SON OF A BITCH
WILL ALWAYS END LIKE THIS
A Gift For Fiction
OH MY GOD
What have we learned?
OH MY GOD
We're doomed from the start
It's time to admit we're wrong and move on
Kick our habits, self improvement
Is anyone getting nervous?
We should all be afraid to die
I don't care as long as we, as long as we get there
Get there
Fought, you fought and you got what you want out of me
Caught, don't get caught, you'll be fucked if you know what I mean
Are you scared you can't tell me what your life's about?
Thought provoking, it's all we need.
It's all we need.
THE FEAR OF GOD IN US
IN ALL OF US
Absolute Past
The whole world's on drugs.
The whole world's on drugs.
Can't you smell us?
We're the filthiest of pigs.
Can't you smell us?
Can't you see us?
We're the shame of family.
Can't you see us?
Can't you smell us?
First to show and last to leave.
Won't you end us?
Everything will not be made right
Everything will not be made right
Everything will not be made right (The whole world's on drugs)
Everything will not be made right (The whole world's on drugs)
(Everything will not be made right)
(Everything will not be made right)
(Everything will not be made right) (The whole world's on drugs)
(Everything will not be made right) (The whole world's on drugs)
Everything will not be made right
