Day Of Daze
Day of Daze
Proven in theory your heart can be lost by the brain.
Staring hard the devil is just out of frame.
Mother where are you?
I love you I'm right here.
Twisting and turning and loving and braiding your hair.
It was a good day she died.
It was a good day to die and run from the night.
It was a good day to die, she died.
Help me I'm wasted my heart has been lost in the rain.
Covered in ashes and dust my tears pump through your veins.
Father where are you?
I thought you were my friend.
Well I'll be your mother, your Mary, your Jesus and Zen.
It was a good day she died.
It was a good day to die and run from the night.
It was a good day to die, she died.
With her head this close to the floor, I feel so alive.
She died.
It was a good day to die and run from the night.
It was a good day to die, she died.
Just let me die old. She let me die old, she died.
Just let me die old.
Just let me die old, she died.
Mothra
Mothra versus the world
Let's play! [x2]
I know she loved me as we danced away
I felt that was pure blood dripping away
I thought he would have lived as he passed away
Mothra
I know he loved you as he turned away
Mothra versus the world.
Let's play [x2]
Versus the world
DragonFly
Dragonfly
Driving round in your car, the thoughts are piled up very, very far.
Did you know the time?
Did you happen to read the last three mile marker signs?
A bright flash of white, flashed before my eyes.
Along with the centipedes, the birds, and the dragonflies.
But did you know I loved you more than I could ever show?
And did you know that something deep inside you that would fail to grow?
And did you see there's something inside of me?
But did you know the tales of the dragonfly?
Riding round my car, I look up just in time to see I've one too far.
And where we?
Well you're not here you're back where you're supposed to be.
I miss your hair.
I yell unto a passing man but he just stares.
He stares at me, well, seeing what he wants to inside.
But did you know I loved you more than I could ever show?
And did you know that something deep inside you that would fail to grow?
And did you see there's something inside of me?
But did you know the tales of the dragonfly?
You'll come crashing round, bleeding me, holding me down, I think I like it.
You'll come crashing round, around, around.
But did you know I loved you more than I could ever show?
And did you know that something deep inside you that would fail to grow?
And did you see there's something inside of me?
But did you know the tales of the dragonfly?
You're my dragonfly! Dragonfly! Dragonfly!
Pencil Fight
This life spreads like cancer as nothing here is real.
Leave me here by the bus stop with my pencil made of steel.
So it's time. It's just time....
Well I'm not much for the classroom teacher teach me if you care.
I can't pay much attention with that ruler in your hand.
So it's just time.
Cause I'm thinkin' Pencil fight, here we are.
Pencil fight, break me down.
Well I'm not much for the schoolyard teacher catch me if you can.
Ya leave me here by the swing set with my pencil broke in hand.
Oh it's fine. Shattered shards of graphite as they're flying through the air.
I'll open eyes quite slowly with the splinters in my hair.
So it's time.
Cause I'm thinkin'. Pencil fight, here we are. Pencil fight, break me down.
It's just time, oh my, oh my.....
"In this world no one leaves alone.
For the only way we leave is in death and in death my friends ya leave with one thing and that one thing is pride.
And pride throughout changes in time between the sky that you love to the ground that you hate.
Pride between everything that once was your pride, can never die."
Pencil fight, here we are. Pencil fight, break me down.
Don't you see we have problems here? Problems here at my home
Withered
Withered
Because it's two in the morning and I'm feeling so ugly.
I've got this chip on my shoulder, keeps my eyes spread wide open.
If you'd let me go.
Then I'd walk myself into my room, yes I will.
Then I'd lay right down and daydream of you, yes I will.
With this soul tell smile I'll blow a kiss to you, yes I will.
Then I'd lay right down and daydream of you.
It seems the sun is still sleeping and I'm feeling so lonely.
There's a girl in my bedroom but don't you worry she's not breathing.
If you'd let me go.
Then I'd walk myself into my room, yes I will.
Then I'd lay right down and daydream of you, yes I will.
With this soul tell smile I'll blow a kiss to you, yes I will.
Then I'd lay right down and daydream of you.
And though my soul's been withered and wisped away.
My gray matter brings me home.
And though your soul's been withered and wisped away.
Your gray matter brings you home.
So I walk myself into the room, yes I will.
I lay right down and daydream of you, yes I will.
With this soul tell smile I blow a kiss to you, yes I will.
Then I lay right down and daydream of you.
Because it's two in the morning and my eyes are spread wide open.
Agent Orange
Agent Orange
This is how you hold your American flag.
This is how you hold your American flag.
So this is how you hold your patri-fucking-otic flag.
We're all a bunch of fucking disgraces!
There sits and old man he's writing and typing and paying his tax to the law.
I see him through the window sill.
There you are laughing and joking and waiting and praying for life to be free.
And I know that you mean him well.
Stands up anger and walks to the doorway where he can yell clearly at me.
And I'm not sure I know what he means.
Losing track of days.
Staring to sky.
As the old man yells.
So this is how you hold your American fucking, fucking flag!
So this is how you hold your funny little flag?
Losing track of days.
Staring to the sky.
As the old man dies.
As the old man dies. (x2)
Time For People
Time For People
I found no people killing time, so I found time for killing people.
I found no rhythm I would rhyme so I rhymed rhythm for the people.
And if you wait on me, I'll be free one day. (x2)
Contemplating genocide, upstairs waving scared of people.
Afraid the feeling hasn't died, it gets lonely for my people.
And if you wait on me, I'll be free one day. (x4)
People always drifting out of pain.
They cannot hold onto nothing else.
Fingers bleed on the concrete walls leaving only one nail for someone to see.
Only one nail screaming to be, so many fingers pointing at me.
I found no people killing time, so I found time for killing people.
Aliens
I am the alien.
Sitting on my front porch step.
Whittling without a care.
Sitting in this rocking chair.
I am the alien!
We are the aliens.
Standing here with our hands down.
Whittling without a care.
Sitting by this rocking chair.
We are the aliens!
Sitting and waiting and waiting and watching and watching and waiting cause I am the alien.
Wishing and hoping and hoping and praying and praying and hoping that we are the aliens.
Hold me down to the floor.
Chains and whips you wish for more.
Hold me down to the floor.
Cause we are the aliens!
Whitfield
Whole, wide, world.
There's a man outside
and he's screaming that the elephants
are trampling,trampling, his father in his sleep.
There's a girl outside
and she's screaming that the worlds on fire
on fire today.
There's a man inside
and he's screaming for his noon time pills
at nine AM.
And there's a girl outside
who's screaming at the whole wide world
one hair at a time.
I'm trying so hard
to keep my eyes still
against the whole wide world
to make her love me.
Whitfield was my world today.
Love me.
Against the whole wide world, cause she won't love me.
Whitfield was my world.
There's a man inside
and he's screaming that his father
was never there.
There's a girl outside
and she's screaming at the whole wide world
one day at a time
There's a boy inside
and he's holding a picture
unto his head.
There's a girl outside
who's screaming that the worlds on fire
on fire today
I'm trying so hard to keep my eyes still
against the whole wide world.
To make her love me.
Whitfield was my world today.
Love me.
Against the whole wide world.
Cause she won't love me.
Whitfield was my world.
Whole wide world wide world wide world wide (x4)
Against the whole wide world.
To make her love me.
Whitfield was my world today.
Love me.
Against the whole wide world.
cause she won't love me.
Whitfield was my world.
The worlds on fire (x7)
The worlds on fire...today
Friends
Friends
Hey momma! Can't you see I'm fuckin� cookin�?
It wasn't right for me but I knew it was time for home.
It was half past ten but all the lights were on.
Did you read his face as blank as it was.
Well mother would sit him down as strictly where he was.
And he said�
All my friends, are bloated and floating away.
I left all my friends back around the bend.
The water turned to black as the night rolled on in.
I couldn't hear a sound as I slowly turned around.
There I saw my friends all god damn face down.
And he said�
All my friends, are bloated and floating away.
And I walk on down, I don't feel the pain.
And I'll raise my eyes.
Won't you let me raise my eyes?
Momma let me raise my eyes?
Won't you let me raise my eyes again?
All my friends, are bloated and floating away
Plastic People
Time entails the sun to hesitate, clinging on and off again.
Picture all the children as they walk on by clean into the front yard.
Falling in and out of sync with him in the ground, I see.
Promises I have broken, shadows creep along the window.
The window sill, drowned by the rain.
Swallow the pill, it kills the pain.
Freeze frame capture it.
The stars fell from the sky, in my hands they pulsate.
Into the night they're shattered on the front line.
The devil knows where they hide.
In the ground he passes by and the devil cries.
The window sill, drowned by the rain.
Swallow the pill, it kills the pain.
Plastic people, paper skies.
The window sill, drowned by the rain.
Swallow the pill, it kills the pain.
