Come Again?
Satan is so depressed
Need dead souls to feel at peace
Can't love beyond himself
So why try at all
Wear your uniform
Stand in line to swim the fire
Expect divine award for bleeding a pig
Amuse me again
Say how much he forgives
Spin the same web you say god does
Hell is a lonely place
Devil worshippers are distressed
Pentagrams like currency
Not worth a dime
Wear your uniform
Stand in line to swim the fire
Expect divine award for bleeding a pig
Amuse me again
Say how much he forgives
Spin the...

Bygones Are Never Bygones
The fruit is loose
And she flies right below
Widening gyre from the mouth
Close together
Mountains clipped low
Feminist cry to behead a man
Your knees are gaunt
And the scales can cut through skin
Still repeating every bygone
Won't be satisfied
The hate is thick
Like blood loss from abuse
Want equality but don't return it
Depress me
Biased little witches
Expect us to bend just for you
Your knees are gaunt
And the scales can cut through skin
Still repeating every bygone
Won't be satisfied...
And she flies right below
Widening gyre from the mouth
Close together
Mountains clipped low
Feminist cry to behead a man
Your knees are gaunt
And the scales can cut through skin
Still repeating every bygone
Won't be satisfied
The hate is thick
Like blood loss from abuse
Want equality but don't return it
Depress me
Biased little witches
Expect us to bend just for you
Your knees are gaunt
And the scales can cut through skin
Still repeating every bygone
Won't be satisfied...

It's Nice to Follow
Visited Brooklyn
Seen kids acting like thugs
Fake teeth and pants to the knees
Guns held backwards
A redhead on a pole
Her youth ascended by the years
All night long workaholic
I'm walking away
A big man I am
Because the world says so
Got the money to float me forever
Sexist as can be
Taught by my generation
Of wannabe rappers and bimbos
It's the name of the game
Blacked out in London
Crashed my car in a Ferris wheel
More respect than before
For killing people
Join my little gang...
Seen kids acting like thugs
Fake teeth and pants to the knees
Guns held backwards
A redhead on a pole
Her youth ascended by the years
All night long workaholic
I'm walking away
A big man I am
Because the world says so
Got the money to float me forever
Sexist as can be
Taught by my generation
Of wannabe rappers and bimbos
It's the name of the game
Blacked out in London
Crashed my car in a Ferris wheel
More respect than before
For killing people
Join my little gang...

Haunted Houses
I was a young man
Wearing Kevlar and a sidearm
Spent my nights investigating the dead
From the end of a bottle
It's a rolling wheel
Leaving a chill into the sun
Miss that dirt road down the lane
Four years undercover
A couple cartel men tried to kill me
Took three rounds in my side
Didn't go to heaven
It's a rolling wheel
Leaving a chill into the sun
Miss that dirt road down the lane
I asked for transfer
Saw something I couldn't unsee
A man who injected himself with bleach
For microwaving his kid
...

Rust
Been seeing things
A long bright light in the night
Sometimes I'm grateful
That it's done
She didn't feel a thing
Fell from one darkness into another
Isn't that a beautiful thing
Leaving painlessly
Life is but a dream
When everybody is nobody
The thoughtless infinity of futility
Time is a circle
Repeating old crucifixions
Like a day rewind again and again
Sentient awareness
The thresher and fate of all life
It's become so convenient
Living in between
People are so frail
They lay down like...
A long bright light in the night
Sometimes I'm grateful
That it's done
She didn't feel a thing
Fell from one darkness into another
Isn't that a beautiful thing

Life is but a dream

The thoughtless infinity of futility

Repeating old crucifixions

Circle of Fools
It was a turban yuppie
Who laid down a makeshift bomb
Kill innocents everyday
Led astray by reading backwards
Knees bent forward
Five times a day to commit suicide
Believe in distorted passages
From a circle of fools
Beard hanging low
Hides the noose underneath
Not all misunderstand
But some dig the hole themselves
Knees bent forward
Five times a day to commit suicide
Believe in distorted passages
From a circle of fools
Religion is just fine
Until you justify taking a life
It's a sick...
Who laid down a makeshift bomb
Kill innocents everyday
Led astray by reading backwards

Alive and Well
I see no streets of gold
My paper crown ain't getting real
There's a hill above my own
With greener grass
These doors are locked
Not any happier from where I'm at
Still held up by my neighbor
With a better car
I'm living right
But envy another man
His life I've seen from a distance
Pain is a lonely word
Our drinks are no longer sweet
It's used too much in our favorite songs
No longer has any bite
We say awful things
Get by on committing cheap thrills
Self aware to some degree
For where we are
...

Some Years Before
Clad in simple red
Fingers dance upon a board
Enter a glistening dream of alkaline
Hair slick back
Joyful ruse in her voice
She beckons me to come along
I'll never follow you
Because my feet just won't move
I'd rather be in a landslide
Than standing here
It's been so long
Since I've felt lightheaded
Waist deep in something unseen
Little reflection
For a moment I'm frozen
Scared to death on this odyssey
I'll never follow you
Because my feet just won't move
I'd rather be in a landslide
Than...
Fingers dance upon a board
Enter a glistening dream of alkaline
Hair slick back
Joyful ruse in her voice
She beckons me to come along
I'll never follow you
Because my feet just won't move
I'd rather be in a landslide
Than standing here
It's been so long
Since I've felt lightheaded
Waist deep in something unseen

Scared to death on this odyssey

Simple
I always want now
A better home from a block over
Stress beginning to slow down my heart
I'm not even twenty five
Shoes aren't a day old
And I'm already shopping for another
Taking back my current girl
For a brand new one
It's a riddle I can't unravel
Bumped into a poor man
With new sneakers and a little dog
He sat in a cardboard castle
With a happy grin
Suddenly it occurs to me
That we're all bouncing upon this ball
Buying into worthless things
That mean nothing
It's something I...
A better home from a block over
Stress beginning to slow down my heart
I'm not even twenty five
Shoes aren't a day old
And I'm already shopping for another
Taking back my current girl
For a brand new one
It's a riddle I can't unravel
Bumped into a poor man
With new sneakers and a little dog

With a happy grin

Fruit of My Labor (Gone)
Early Monday morning
She accidentally broke my flatscreen
I couldn't even spare a glance
Told her to get lost
She looked on in shock
As I tried taping you back together
My eyebrow looking sinister
I wouldn't forget it
This is my baby
Me and her are forever
You'll always be in second place
This is my first love
I'd stay up with her all night
And I can't stand buying another one
It was predetermined
That dumb girl knocking you over
She wants me for herself
That won't happen
I'll bury you outside...
She accidentally broke my flatscreen
I couldn't even spare a glance
Told her to get lost
She looked on in shock
As I tried taping you back together
My eyebrow looking sinister
I wouldn't forget it
This is my baby
Me and her are forever
You'll always be in second place
This is my first love
I'd stay up with her all night
And I can't stand buying another one
It was predetermined
That dumb girl knocking you over
She wants me for herself
That won't happen

A Message
This is a fine place
Couldn't have picked a better spot
Bury them both along here
Two coins apiece
Across the eyes boy
It's a token for wherever they go
My mother believed in it
Guess I do too
Take this to heart
A deadman can't bargain with you
Say anything to be forgiven
No light after this
Differences be along
This country's hard on people
Don't go chasing what you can't carry
You just might find it
Couldn't have picked a better spot
Bury them both along here
Two coins apiece
Across the eyes boy
It's a token for wherever they go
My mother believed in it
Guess I do too
Take this to heart
A deadman can't bargain with you
Say anything to be forgiven
No light after this
Differences be along
This country's hard on people
Don't go chasing what you can't carry
You just might find it

Dust and Echoes
Sun's going down
Peeking behind the canyon
Shadows climbing and setting out
To swallow me whole
Think I've had my fill
Like a hungry dog feeding on scraps
Can't weather this anymore
About ready to go
I'll sit right here
Let the world pass me by
Maybe see a full moon coming up
The man is dead
My conscious wiped clean
Can't say I'm happy to see the light
It's been so long
Since I done the right thing
They say a man can't change himself
Repeating old routines
So set in my ways ...
Peeking behind the canyon
Shadows climbing and setting out
To swallow me whole
Think I've had my fill
Like a hungry dog feeding on scraps
Can't weather this anymore
About ready to go
I'll sit right here
Let the world pass me by
Maybe see a full moon coming up
The man is dead
My conscious wiped clean
Can't say I'm happy to see the light
It's been so long
Since I done the right thing
They say a man can't change himself
Repeating old routines
So set in my ways ...
