Hey I am sure to fall this time around
And I could look you in the eye but you never show your face
Something sticky in your ears turned to logic
And what you reiterate is meaningless to me
Save yourself because you're dying slowly
Say goodnight before you ever say goodbye
Tore the buttons off your coat to keep the wind out
Banged your head against the sky to touch the ground beneath
Held a candle to the sun to drown the twilight
But when you bruise you never bleed no you never cryout
Save yourself because you're dying slowly
Say goodnight before you ever say goodbye
Strong carry on carry me home
Serve your flesh circuts unknown
Stitches sewn to leave me alone
Crane your neck when I crawl
Save yourself because you're dying slowly
Say goodnight before you ever say goodbye
Does it make you sick?
The smell of daddy's sweat
The taste of daddy's spit
Crawl blood in blood out
. . .

I'm turning a deaf ear to your bloody ministries
Save it for the afterlife honey
Cause everybody knows the more we nurture
Our perversions the more human we become
Sing children sing it to the sun
Struck down, I hate what you've become
Your comet catcher conned you baby
Straight down you'll plummet to the earth
They finally caught the killer they found his skin beneath her nails
Squeeze him hard enough and he'll confess
We swore a solemn oath to never disobey
But then he took our wives and kids away
Sing children sing it to the sun
Struck down, I hate what you've become
Your comet catcher conned you baby
Straight down you'll plummet to the earth
Faith exposes us (ashamed of who we are)
When they're cursing your name you'll be falling apart
Faith exposes us (ashamed of who we are)
When they're cursing your name you'll be falling apart
Sing children sing it to the sun
Struck down, I hate what you've become
Your comet catcher conned you, baby
Straight down, you'll plummet to the earth

Blood on the windshield mystic mosaic
Surreal you're your ribcage menagerie
Listen to lips that lull you to sleep beside
A living nightmare
In front of a fake friend fell on your knees
His death in a car crash cured your disease
Still in the water food for the fishes
Would anyone miss him?
With his words like mercury
Filling the holes from razor gazes
A verbal gauze for broken hearts
Seal the coffin careless to kiss
Stab at the angels that gave you to me
Morbid my love lives forever inside my chest
She completes me
I stare at the sky through a blanket of filth
Means to an end their exhaust in my lungs
Stinging my eyes like a tear for an unborn child
But she stares with me
Choose your blade
And carve your name into my heart
Soothe the wounds and heal my scars
. . .

Our days are numbered 666
And I'll begin the countdown by calling off the circus
Somewhere in these cryptic scriptures
I'll find myself drifting in a sky full of
Scars they cut into you
Blisters rose colored hue
Mayday we're going down
These mescaline memories are morose
Your kerosene company's comatose
Our days are numbered 321
When you bit the bullet
I held the smoking gun
Somewhere in these violent volumes
I'll find myself drifting in a sky full of
Scars they cut into you
Blisters rose colored hue
Mayday we're going down
These masculine memories are morose
Your kerosene company's comatose
And I would stick up half of my cold eye
To set you on your head
If I were you then I would memorize this loose lipped lullaby instead of waiting
Carving out your own
Scars they cut into you
Blisters rose colored hue
Mayday we're going down
Follow we went around
Scars they cut into you
Blisters rose colored hue
Mayday we're going down
These mescaline memories are morose
Your kerosene company's comatose
. . .

I was fast asleep
Dreaming I was rain
I fell from clouds to touch your frame
But you just hid your face
Beneath your hands
Now delirium is soothing me
Just close your eyes
Go to sleep
I was holding on
Hanging by a thread
Clinging to three words you said
But words are meaningless in your absence
This violation's a victory
Just close your eyes
Go to sleep
(Go to sleep)
Delirium soothes me
And I'll keep your words
Close to me
This violation's a victory
Just close your eyes
Go to sleep
. . .

Winters like a plague I fill the emptiness inside with broken glass
Johnny's got his gun
and mamma's still cleaning up the blood he's laying in
It's the long goodbye
All thoughts become a mirror like anguish mimicking me
When it's cold here mother I can see my breath on the window
And I wonder what you thought of me
Don't you turn around and leave me alone
Everyone's standing here but I'm on my own
Don't you turn around and leave me alone
With my curse casted in chrome
It's the long goodbye
Trust like a bandage binds your head
To to guillotine and I know there's an empty space in your bed
Where we used to sleep afraid of waking the dead
. . .

A song, to soothe you son of mine
Your broken bones heal in due time
Another day in silent suffering such a bitter pill
We're the sons and daughters daddy hates too much to kill
Stay home
Stay home
Stay home
Stay home
Revenge, is mine sayeth the lord
And you, you only hit me when your bored
Story books and happy endings
Bite your lip in fear
Pray the next blow kills you, so you won't have to be here
Stay home
Stay home
Stay home
Stay home
You said son, I didn't mean it
There's something wicked on the inside living in me
She said son, he didn't mean it
There's something evil on the inside
Revenge, is mine sayeth the lord
And you, you only hit me when you're bored
Story books and happy endings
Bite your lip in fear
Pray the next blow kills you so you won't have to be here
Stay home
Stay home
Stay home
Stay home
Stay home
Stay home
Stay home
You said son, I didn't mean it
There's something wicked on the inside
It's inside
. . .

Lead in your chest
Halo in water
Watch me drill holes in my head
Misunderstood
Meet me in moonlight
With your lover's heart in a box
Watch how the world pushes forward
Running like insects from God
You only want to be near Him
So you join in his crimson jihad
And they cast out the dark
With two stones and a spark
And you're seconds away from redemption
In your war with the dead
Had your breakfast in bed
Till you're seconds away from redemption
Seconds away
April came on
The pain was like knives
Digging right into my feet
Echoes of agony
Breaking my body
Till most of it's merely alive
Watch how the world pushes forward
Running like insects from God
You only want to be near Him
So you join in his crimson jihad
Cause they cast out the dark with two stones and a spark
And you're seconds away from redemption
Your war with the dead
Had your breakfast in bed
Till you're seconds away from redemption
Seconds away
Stand alone
Where you are
Stand alone
Where you are
Stand alone
Where you are
Cause they cast out the dark
With two stones and a spark
And you're seconds away from redemption
Your war with the dead
Had your breakfast in bed
You were seconds away from redemption
You're seconds away
You're seconds away
You're seconds away

turn your back on your past
make a mark with a crime that lasts
"guns dont kill" bullets do
and i've been saving one for you
hold me down i can feel a seizure coming
think i took too much marazine
saw blade bits tearing tendons
from your neck like so much
knives through bread
til your head sags falls to the ground
cashmere crush covered in smoke
i'm all cried out
soldiers march
a red sunsets blood
soaked babes on bayonets
the flag still waves for all
to see like moonlight on my machete
. . .

Half a pack of cigarettes
mostly broken or bent.
I think of cancer as I put one to my
cracked lips that long to slake this
poison lust.
voices spin and resonate inside
voices spin and resonate inside
This old phone booth shelters me
from these lonely streets.
If only God could grant me strength to call you.
Just three wards to help me slake this
poison lust.
voices spin and resonate inside
voices spin and resonate inside
esoteric memories
you're an eyesore here
grab the handle
twist the blade to break my will.
. . .

so i spilled out my guts to look past my regrets
and i sang to the heavens as i bled from my neck
i said "thanks for your patience god
and all your wisdom and strength"
i said "thanks for all the suffering"
as i sang for the dead
they lived for the living god
and you ignored every word
and we'll all grow old and die
as our pleas go unheard
so i walked through the valley
and i tried to forget
how i loved every moment
of the life that i left
we were all cheated my brothers
we were all lied to my friends
no one can save us from god
not even death
so cast off what is mortal
and discard all your dreams
they all turn to shit in the end
and you wake up in hell
why fear the unknown
when the present's as painful
as being ignored
. . .

In fiscal flight from the ravenous cavernous orifice asphyxiated form
Washed in wolves blood sterile and pantomimed parting in
Parts the trial of the worm
Sew the lid closed cough and spit into your palm with charitable charm
Slap the bad mans wrist insist disarm
Do the math the path is a narrow one it led me down to a cold
And shallow grave
On my tombstone I read the epitaph, "Here lies a man who lived
And died a slave"
Till the vexing that his hex annexing animates his glorious distresses
Serve the right foot raw so flawed undressed
Semi concious concentration Christmas cards and suffocation
Ambulances beckon bodies tires squealing sirens wailing
Semi concious concentration Christmas cards and suffocation
Ambulances beckon bodies tires squealing sirens wailing
