Альбом Every Time I Die

We cut our teeth in the bedroom
We slit our wrist in the costume
All of them WITCHES!

We are the death of the party
We are the life of the funeral,
all of us RAG-MEN!

I want the ripened fruit
I want the fresh meat
I want the first born
I want the down beat

We traded our vows on the front-lines
They ushered us throw the stop signs,
all of them WITCHES!

We found our way in the black-out
We are the ghosts in the light house,
all of us us RAG-MEN!

I want the open wound
I want the dark street
I want the virgin blood
I want the wet heat

(feat. Greg Puciato of The Dillinger Escape Plan)

How ironic
I'm nailed to the cross
while the vultures stuff their mouths.
God and the devil are split by a thin white line

Six feet from an early grave
nine inches from being saved
eighteen hundred miles of skeletons on the interstate

Why do I give myself away
Why do I bleed so easily
Why do I give myself away
To be yours

Six feet from an early grave
nine inches from being saved
eighteen hundred miles of skeletons on the interstate

Why do I give myself away
Why do I bleed so easily
Why do I give myself away

If death's coming it best come quick
If death's coming it best come quick
If death's coming it best come quick
or Im all yours

Why do I give myself away
Why do I bleed so easily
Why do I give myself away
To be yours

Her clothes will crack and peel off
A heart sins in a heaven made soft
I am eaten of worms 'till I give up the ghost

If death's coming it best come quick
If death's coming it best come quick
If death's coming it best come quick
or Im all yours

TAKE ME HOME

How ironic
I'm nailed to the cross
while the vultures stuff their mouths.
God and the devil are split by a thin white line

Why do I give myself away
Why do I bleed so easily
Why do I give myself away

Im worth nothing to me

wait till they send your son home in a box
see if youre dancing when water is everywhere
anguish is endless but deaths not ambiguous

wave as it carries him off
pose while he fits you in hospital gowns
or fuck with the xxxx wife
sleep in the bed
light the fire that consumes your house
sing on surveillance tape
smile in your autopsy photo for once
phone up the boys and xxx your bones

will you get off of me life?
as if its done any of us any good.

oh
youre gonna wish you were me when the unsuspecting are dragged
to their graves
and youre standing on the edge holding a rose

dead
where we stand
and you concern yourself with such things
as your status
and whats in fashion

dont say you cant be this bothered
death becomes us all
youve got some nerve
let me open this ghost town port of xxxx

someday your insides will turn themselves out
tell me what purpose our efforts have served
when we end up in the ground
more acts will follow the roles we have played
and everything loved will expire
ive seen it all in a war zone because of it
good men have died in my arms
i have been everywhere
you will end up in the same death
whats the point

there is nothing to see here
and nothing gazes back at me
there is nothing to see here
and that nothing looks back at us

Ive drown my conscience and cast another stone
I took to preaching while dancing on the coals
I cant see where Ive been and only God knows where Ill be
But there must be a place for a wretch like me

Oh Lord knows Im tired, but I- I- I wont rest my head until Im home
And if my hands find themselves another body, well you cant blame them for trying to keep warm

Morals are simply a matter of time, and where you lay your heads a question of pride
When its said and done, youll find it in the light
That privilege and wit make me misfortune's child

Cant tell collapse that it needs to slow down
Cant tell death that it shouldnt come around
And when they take my head and put it on a stake
I know the guilt and disgrace keep the dead man awake
Bartering your figure for a paralyzing love
What have you done? What have you done?

I tipped the scaffold and laughed until I fell
Girl if you need me, grab another from the well
I cant imagine what Hell might have in store
But I know if Im there I wont wander anymore

Oh Lord knows Im tired, but I- I- I wont rest my head until Im home
And if my hands find themselves another body, well you cant blame them for trying to keep warm

Oh Lord knows Im weak but I- I- I cant clear my head if Im asleep

Morals are simply a matter of time, and where you lay your heads a question of pride
But when its said and done, youll find it in the light
That privilege and wit make me misfortune's child

Cant tell collapse that it needs to slow down
Cant tell death that it shouldnt come around
And when they take my head and put it on a stake
I know the guilt and disgrace keep the dead man awake

Weve lived under this dark cloud forever
Waiting for the bad light to break

Just let me try that one again, with a little more feeling
We slept at the crossroads together, trying to make an honest mistake
Just let me try that one more time, without a smile on my face

And now the road is empty, as every promise is
If life is pointless, then point taken
Say Amen
So light another candle and put my body out to sea
Because your heart is no place for a wretch like me
Another stranger passing, a common dissonance
If life is pointless, then point taken
Say Amen
So light another candle and put my body out to sea
Because your side is no place for a wretch like me

When they unearth these passages, will I appear to be proud?
Not if youre listening close enough
Not if youre sounding it out.

God knows I've longed to feel something but now's not the time.
I'm caught up in the heartless disorder of a Friday night.
Focused on staying distracted until I lose sight of the tiresome and clinical patterns of my life.
I will cherish this love for the rest of my night.
One day I'll find myself facing the firing line.
Serves me right.
For the record I've written my crimes.
I will cherish this love for the rest of my night.

Lord have mercy on my soul.
I've had a good run but I can't run anymore.
Just put me down.
Lord have mercy on my soul.
I've had a good run but I can't run anymore.
Just put me down.

Can't sidestep the long arm for too long with this paper trail.
I've let them devour my heart for some material.
But I'm a drunkard, a coward, a crook. I ought to change my ways.
Face the music. Carry the can. Etcetera. Etcetera.
What's next?
Trust me, I'm still with you somewhere. I just wish it was here.
Someday I'm bound to feel guilty but now's not the time.
I'm sure I'll get what I'm due.
Everything will be fine.
Hell bent on finding the next fix in the fog.
You're in a cab on the way to your house. Change the locks.
I will cherish this love for the rest of the night.

Lord have mercy on my soul.
I've had a good run but I can't run anymore.
Just put me down.
Lord have mercy on my soul.
I've had a good run but I can't run anymore.
Just put me down.

Can't sidestep the long arm for too long with this paper trail.
I let them devour my heart for some material
But I'm a drunkard, a coward, a crook. I ought to change my ways.
Face the music. Carry the can. Etcetera. Etcetera.
Please forgive me.

Put me to rest before it spreads.
It's not long until the bugs
eat through to the castle walls and besiege my noble heart.
New flags are raised.
Cut off the gangrened limb.
In this case, it begins at the neck.
Save yourself from me.
Save yourself from me.

Please, once and for all.

The impact is dead ahead
so take the gun and apply the brakes.
I can feel the onset of lust course through my veins.

Help me let go. Hell is holding on.
Help me let go. Hell is holding on.

So relieve me of life.
Give me what I came here to get.

I'm not coming home.

Be it undead or dogs, they will come for what's mine.
Though I put up no fight at all, it's not my fault.
And so on.

This is not me.

You can't mute the virus once it screams your name.
I've changed the guards at the gate for the sake of the king.
This plea is old hat.
These bites are old hat.
This song is old hat.
Every word is old hat.

I'm not coming home.

Be it undead or dogs, they will come for what's mine.
Though I put up no fight at all it's not my fault.
Happy dagger.
Make it brief.
Happy dagger.
Be brief.

Start the chemical fires.
Chimneys bleed white smoke.
Before the worms even find me, the crowd is given new hope.

I have lived every day of my life thinking only of what I should think when I look back on everything I have written on my life, and in the process of doing so I have missed out on living my life just to stay an observer of an impartial observer.

Here I go again, chasing my tail around the sun...
Standing beneath a tortoise under and elephant under the world.
The gravity of the battle means nothing to those at peace.
I can't believe I thought my thoughts meant anything!

When we think we've reached the end we're only back where we begin.

Superman!

We are starving to death on full stomachs, running miles - new hearts on old legs. If I had known all the howls were false alarms, oh just imagine all the ammo we'd save!

Here we go again...
I'll come to party if it goes until 4 question marks at least,
3 or anything less and it's not worth my time at all;
on nights like those my absence trumps my company.

When we think we've reached the end we're only back where we begin.

Superman!

I truly believe I'll be remembered and that even this sentence will be studied. Will you think that I'm wise because I'm aware of that? Or am I just killing myself before they get me?

Cleaned up the mess I'm in, now I am born again.
Naked, spotless motion without strings.
I've flushed the filth to sea, the limbs and sharp debris but if that water rises woe is me.
Hearts aren't beating they're counting down.
Breaths aren't stolen they're groomed and given out.
The closet is teeming with broken bones.
I'll be driven out and swallowed whole.
I walk a crooked mile with the devil on my back puppeteering, schemes with every step.
But I once could walk through walls and drift above it all, pursuing endless love to endless depths.
Hearts aren't beating they're counting down.
Breaths aren't stolen they're groomed and given out.
The closet is teeming with broken bones.
I'll be driven out and swallowed whole.
Object all you want but I am not done with you.
Lives will be lost.
Children will grieve.
Entire nations will crumble and blood will run deep, but we will be redeemed.
You and I will be weightless.
We'll stay unborn so death can't start the clock and love can seep through our pores.

Despite what you think I can offer you nothing
Im sea sick and strung out and tired of adjusting

Hands on the dashboard where I can see them

Let me think
Im all backed up
Just let me think

If you would be my bride
The smoke and mirrors
The blissful lies will throw the hounds off the scent

Learn the lines
It's all I'm asking

We steal what we need and the rest we call love

Take back the night
Drop the captures and run for your life
Its not what it seems
Stockholm syndromes an excessive grief

If you leave me
Im coming with you I promise you that

Get out while youre still gods child

Were a deer in the headlights
Motionless till were ripped to shreds
Stop following me around

Learn to lie
Thats all im asking

Dont look up

The cheap thrill of our impending doom's all I have
