IN DISGUISE

See, in a multitude of ways we’ll remain the same
Oh, how we love to rearrange these bones until we fly
Exempt this soul from showing up, but cheap these limbs must work
You know we only love ourselves - such a pity 

No strings will swing me ‘round
One hand worth holding
There’s blood in my eye, I can’t see to the sides
When the rest of the runners are spent 

Crushed, ‘cuz there’s always answers new, never listened to
I'm a lifetime of hurt in this cubicle
But I control almost everything, full capacity
So, you wanna’ worship you or me?
Let’s play God and see

All hell is screaming now
Better get my kicks before
This short life is a blink of an eye
And this faith’s pushing daisies again

What’s boiling over our eyes?

One for this heart for playing dead
Two for this classic heretic 
Three hundred times to try again
One more, I’ll never be the same again

 What's boiling over our eyes?

The rest of your life is a gift in disguise
Seems the wider the path you’re compelled       

UNGLUED

Can someone hold up a light to all this shit piled high? 
I know you’d still find me here wasting away lost years 
There’s no sense ignoring what’s hard to find to settle for the short trip 
My sweet, the likely tourniquet, It’s meant to be 

Think I’ll disappoint you 'cuz I might

 I’ll just make clear a couple things before I let you be 
This ride is only worth it if you go with me 

Think I’ll disappoint you 'cuz I might 
But nothing makes much sense in just one light 

This hell is not enough to burn the walls of what we built 
I hope you come along to see the shoreline 
This hell is not enough to burn the walls of what we built 
I hope you’ll come along to kiss this shoreline 

I lost my faith on this road before 
But that there’s not me wasting your time like that 
You unglued me entirely and put me back to right 
What I got wrong and honestly It’s meant to be 

Think I’ll disappoint you 'cuz I might 
But nothing makes much sense in just one light 

This hell is not enough to burn the walls of what we built 
I hope you come along to see the shoreline 
This hell is not enough to burn the walls of what we built 
I hope you’ll come along to kiss this shoreline

BROKEN

See the light imprisoned in the glass
Your reflection's soft and fading fast
Now that fate is just what happens
as you try and steer your mind away from death

Countenance grows fearful more each time
How much can you stand and stay alive
Watch my broken pieces stumble to the grave
and let me sleep away the pain

Did you fall hard enough to feel the truth this time?
Will it last long enough for you to change your mind?

Beauty trades for tears and nothing more
The sadness of years makes wisdom sore
Does the beauty in your ruin make the
breaking all worthwhile or are you lost?

Did you fall hard enough to feel the truth this time?
Will it last long enough for you to change your mind? 

PARASITES

Why ignore the obvious 
To live vicariously through
Another poor sucker’s life?
And in return you’d bleed a parasite’s prize

Fall short of living every time with your mouth wide open
Fall short of missing the perfect crime when your mind is a drowning whore

You’re such a pretty shiny little tool
Don’t you know you’re dull as a sigh?
Stand tall or don’t stand at all
Don't you know that you’ve forgotten the reasons why?

Fall short of living every time with your mouth wide open
Fall short of missing the perfect crime when your mind is a drowning whore

Tear my flesh from my bones or these dreams might
Tear my soul pull tight or these dreams might

TURN TO STONE

Where have we been today what have we done      
Wise men and fools making light of the sun
Fountains of hope flowing deep in the mind    
Searching for love that grows outside of time

Take for granted and turn to stone,
Take what’s given and build your own

Give me just one moment to myself
It’s all too much for me
Sunlight falls through windowpanes
and I'm still here to breathe it in

The starlit chaos burning sky
A hopeful creature draws the lines
Of patterns stirring souls to glow
What’s here right now will go... beyond

Death keeps watch as life is spent on
memories you felt or dreamed
Winding deep down passages
To find  the center of your mind

You kept the embers all alive
When we had left the fire to die
We left you waiting at the door
When life turned into more than hiding from the end            

Take for granted and turn to stone,
Take what’s given and build your own

SEVEN FEET

Wide the mouth
He sits and tears the public orifice, stitched with care
The other face, a gentleman and a con in a shiny lizards tongue

They will feed you the monster
And soon you’ll look back
And you’ll cry hail in limbo
When you really need a forklift
To haul all those bones away

Pack your bags seven feet
Can you tell wrong from right? 
As you drown old Virgil into night

The public orifice stitched with care
The public orifice stitched with care

Feed you the monster

PROGRAMMED

Cash in now before you can see in
’Cuz something meaningful must die
But I don’t want to lose those shining stars
I don’t want to cover up all these scars

Forget all this history
Hurry now
One land with no tradition please
Still offended?
Well, I don’t want to wait ‘till all is gone
Soon we’re gonna be programmed

I’m so motherfuckin’ tired of all these
Superficial rhymes warming up to me

Please, this is all I need
PC people are wining
Please, please take a breath and see
Spit on me through your teeth

Old land wooden heart
Nice and uniformed
Cultural face-lift step in line
And force fed

Melting pot of cowards and fake tits
Get me out now

Never gonna smooth out all these flaws 
Unless you wanna be programmed too

THE HOUND

Waste your time around 
Find yourself a hound
Bleed until you love
Love until you’re found

Sooner or later, you’ll find the door
Sooner or later, you’ll fall out of bed
Sooner or later, you’ll find the door
Sooner or later, you’ll fall out of bed 

Falling fast to the earth
The earth will stop so I’m heard
Takes a prisoner to know
A change of mind may come slow

Sooner or later, you’ll find the door
Sooner or later, you’ll fall out of bed
Sooner or later, you’ll find the door
Sooner or later, you’ll fall out of bed 

Pass yourself around
The world can’t hold you now
Smile until you die
Love until you’re found

OUT OF THE DARK

One room far inside
One life proudly glooms
Untouched, glued to the screen
Raised by this new machine
Own your own cage but don’t ask why

Post hell, post world war
This new hell we’re begging for
With airtight headphones on
You choose your statements on
The basis of what was fed today 

Do you believe in what you said at all?
Spitting dead flies between your words
This soul’s sewn tight
The sun’s going down, it’s time to go home
The water is up, it’s all you’ll ever know

Believe everything
Your king is really queen
Pray to your aliens
And every conspiracy    

Knee deep in kerosene
Is this what you really mean?
Your match, your own spark
Won’t keep you out of the dark
Own your own cage but don’t ask why

Do you believe in what you said at all?
Spitting dead flies between your words
This soul’s sewn tight
The sun’s going down, it’s time to go home
The water is up, it’s all you’ll ever know

Hold your breath better hold tight

TINY HEAVEN

If I were weightless, I’d resist
Laugh aloud good things we’ve turned to shit
Laugh your hell right out of you tonight
Paint your tiny heaven black and blue

You've always been so cruel
You've always been a fool

Fortune faded faces smile tonight
Poisoned by the television glare
Paint your perfect love life green like you
You've always been so cruel
You've always been their fool

It’s time to call on the worst
Cuz tomorrow the whole world drowns

If life were painless, I’d resist
I’d reach into the storm for the hell of it
Make this count before we meet again
Paint your tiny heaven black and blue
