BIG PROBLEM
Look within
Leeching what you eat
An unwanted
Greedy little seed
Prepare
Your prayers
Even if no one is here to hear or heed
Get the ceremonial coat hanger
You've got a big problem
Sacrifice the parasite
This likeness is lifeless
Sacrifice the parasite.
Don't worry
No one has to know
No hurry
My mouth can move slow
Sweet deal
Lips sealed
But something has got to help cement hold
Get the ceremonial coat hanger
You've got a big problem
Sacrifice the parasite
This likeness is lifeless
Sacrifice the parasite.
THE BRAVE WORMS OF THE FUTURE
A little pain still makes me glad
For all the friends I never had
I curse my dreams cause I must sleep
I love the ones I cannot keep
Should I, shouldn't I
Pretend
My time won't end when
The brave worms of the future will enjoy me some day
Eat up, degrade
Never wanted a say
Delusion's all that keeps me sane
They tell me I should blame the rain
I get so giddy when it's warm
My knee hurts, must mean there's a storm
Should I, shouldn't I
Pretend
My time won't end when
The brave worms of the future will enjoy me some day
Eat up, degrade
Never wanted a say.
BULLET MEET BRAIN
I want a shotgun
Put to your head
You want to play dumb?
Now you can play dead
And as that big old bullet meets brain
I will watch baby gurgle in pain
I'll cut off your head for a bowl
And drink all the blood
Drink all the blood in your skull.
I want a fire
Inside a barrel
To leave a liar
Forever sterile
And as that big old bullet meets brain
I will watch baby gurgle in pain
I'll cut off your head for a bowl
And drink all the blood
Drink all the blood in your skull.
BYE, MIND
Down beneath the sun
You, I, one
A sign of the times
Little things entwine
Everything blows my mind
It explodes and goes "bye"
Bye, mind.
Up over the moon
To our doom
A sign of the times
Little things entwine
Everything blows my mind
It explodes and goes "bye"
Bye, mind.
DON'T CHANGE ANYTHING
I see what's wrong
But I don't do anything
Memorized this song
But that don't change anything
And the birdies sing.
ERASER
Calling up the eraser made just for the mind
Prematurely resigned to a fate rightly mine
Oh no
My time ran out
Oh no
The power's out
I shut down.
It's no wonder I can't feel my limbs
Rolling under the current, lost my fears
Oh no
My time ran out
Oh no
The power's out
I shut down.
EXCURSION DAY
Hello ghost, I missed you
So I did the passes like you said
Reappeared in strange brew
The fabled land of dead
And now I know
To take things slow
Deny the time.
So tell me invisibly
Where are the tortured ones you crave
And may I rejoin you
For one last excursion day?
Now I know
To take things slow
Deny the time.
GENTLEMAN
I used to be such a gentleman
Sun shot out from my rectum
I used to think of others first
Now I just think of this one jerk
Don't judge what you don't understand
Lest you be judged a stupid man
Very sad little man.
I used to see in color so bright
Now I just see in black and white
I would lend an ear so selflessly
Now I wait for my turn to speak
Don't judge what you don't understand
Lest you be judged a stupid man
Very sad little man.
Why the lies
Did I think I would not find
And decide
To break the tie that binds.
I I I
A man with a body prosthetic
I ken from the nose he's semitic
He is reeking of sin
Sunken into his brown skin
No shoes, he's got stubbly feet
Open hands to show honesty
Palms dripping with blood
Jetting out in crimson flood
He's singing
"I'm the way, the truth, the life
I'm the son, the star, the light
I, I, I."
Humbly I plead on one knee
"I'm clean of the dreamer's disease"
He hands me a cup
"This is a test, fill it up"
I'm ready to curdle and cry
Watch my urine come out wine
He leaves me with hounds
Shephards sheep up to the clouds
They're singing
"I'm the way, the truth, the life
I'm the son, the star, the light
I, I, I."
Down low on an anti-plateau
Eyeing out the flames below
One demon looks here
Calls me "comrade", gives me cheer
Now we're burning the soles of your feet
Molten coalfire on your street
We're gonna have fun
Immolating illusion
We're singing
"I'm the way, the truth, the life
I'm the sun, the star, so bright."
PAINT BY NUMBER
Can't wait
To see you dissolving
Before my eyes
Today
What's fate
When we keep revolving
Chaos orbit
Every day
Please come step into the passage to the other side
I want you to feel the warmth that's sliding up my spine.
Stab stab
I see what you see
All the angles
In space
The sky
Bending with the trees
Paint by number
Every place
Please come step into the passage to the other side
I want you to feel the warmth that's sliding up my spine.
Signed by alibis
Bye alibis
You suffer in my sight
Don't look down
Piece of ground
Hands are holding ice.
PLAY THIS AT MY FUNERAL
No one knows where we are going
No one knows where we have been
But now, even with the wound of living
Now the calm is during the storm.
So open up your inner eye
Let all trifles truly slide
Now there is not a need for sadness
Not while we shuffle on and on.
REIGN OF SATURN
That was a beautiful day
The people regaled you as great
But the reign of Saturn became
The soul and the body's decay
Fate?
Fake.
Even with wind at your back
You commit an unholy act
You shake the coil from the true name
But something still stands in your way
Fate?
Fake.
REMEMBERING
Tossed about, losing your face
In hurricane force winds
Remembering is just watching
Yourself forget.
Shoulder view I see myself
Grinning on a green place
Unaware of the straw that broke
The ass' back.
SEA AND SAND
Whatever we find is crystal in hindsight lines
We hold to the last, memories past bombast
Together we dream because all dreamers are free
And when we're apart I don't know where to start
No more stuttering
With senses wrapped in tin
One day by the sea
Where there's no memory
I will speak the truth
I will see it through
As our bodies blend
As the sea and sand.
Whatever we find is twisted in hindsight lines
And what we forget digs us deep in debt.
SECRETIONS
Can you keep a secret?
I've been keeping my secretions
I've been saving every drop
Inside a jar under my bed
When I'm turning gray
Well I can look at what I made
Yes I can look at all I made
And know that I'll be happy dead
My salvation screwed up tight, I give it birth
Dirty time capsule be my gift to the earth
Can you hold your tongue
Until the battle has been won
I don't want any stories sung
By any yellow feathered beast
Once the mix is stable
I will mark it with a label
I will take it off the table
So it can ferment in peace
My salvation screwed up tight, I give it birth
Dirty time capsule be my gift to the earth
To the earth.
SEE YOU SOON
See so many reasons
For a change of season
The bugs are bursting from cocoons
Hey
It's no big thing
I'll see you soon
Hey
I got my wings
Up on the moon
Gently I sing my deride
Of want and waste
Don't try, you're fucked and you die
Without a taste
See so many reasons
For a change of season
The sun is setting at high noon
Hey
It's no big thing
I'll see you soon
Hey
I got my wings
Up on the moon
Gently I sing my deride
Of want and waste
Don't try, you're fucked and you die
Without a taste
If I've gone insane
I won't find out anyway
The birdy in the sky
Is only passing by.
STORY TO TELL
I saw the sheriff take off a mask
I thought "what a strange thing,
Story to tell"
I looked to the east, the sun was still rising
"Oh, how surprising"
I thought to myself
On a base near Groom Lake you can see through time and space
And forget all earthly cares
All the doors are green, like a forest it seems
Undisclosed, nowhere.
I saw the hero open his arms
He had nothing in them
No word passed his tooth
I blinked my sight-eyes, and when they re-opened
No amount of hoping
Could disguise the truth
On a base near Groom Lake you can see through time and space
And forget all earthly cares
All the doors are green, like a forest it seems
Undisclosed, nowhere.
STRAWS
Here
Currency is fear
Three senses disappear
The page is torn around the ends
Cracks
Run all along the floor
The waves inside the boards
Are grasping at straws
While you may get nothing wrong
Your sentence is too long
It goes on.
Here
Where currency is fear
Three senses disappear
The page is torn around the ends
While you may get nothing wrong
Your sentence is too long
It goes on.
WILL TO BECOME Color me the king
Of aboriginal sin
In a city of fire
I walk a tightrope wire
From a whirlpool of fate
I hang on rusty gate
And shake my lantern jaw
Drift through burning walls
Much luck to the one
With will to become.
Color me the king
of aboriginal sin
And help me find the sage
To end this nightmare age
Much luck to the one
With will to become.
