Slow Poison
02:44

Mind rolls back to the heavy center / Keep the secrets on the back burner / You make my head spin / Most wanted, top ten / Twist the knobs of my brain like a tilting maze. / Keep the silence and the sickness stays. / It’s a smooth drink / And A slow poison / You really know how to play my keys / one note and I’m on my knees / I work alone for a god damn reason / You just ew in for my fair weather season / I really know how to spin my webs / But the bones are on the beach when the tide ebbs / Stick around baby and you’ll see right through / My mechanically awed bicycle built for two / Eyes rolled back / I’m a reckless sinner / Take a number everyone’s a winner / You make my teeth grin / I make the rules bend / Twist the back of my hair like you aren’t afraid / That under the skin I am cold and depraved / It’s a smooth drink / And a slow poison / And when you dissect me / The evil will spread / Spring out of my colors / Till every one’s dead / And if you infect me / I’ll bleed from the eyes / I’ll change all my colors / And live in disguise / Mind rolls back to the heavy center / Keep the secrets on the back burner / You make my head spin / Most wanted, top ten / Twist the knobs of my mind like a tilting maze. / Keep the silence and the sickness stays. / It’s a smooth drink / And A slow poison.

Beautiful Mess
04:48
|

he’s a beautiful mess of distracted distress - what a sight / She’s a cautionary tale of the fall from success - she just got red / Every day I wake up to her sobbing cries - the fatigue of sleepless nights lines her eyes / this place is trash but she swears she cleaned the whole time / Is she just in a funk or is she actually losing her mind? / She’s depressed at her best and paranoid of the rest - that’s her life / And when she’s put to the test, she bombs each and every guess that she tries / Come on now girl you were supposed to be a bright one - you best fess up and tell us is it booze or drugs? / Maybe she’s just faking for attention and it’s all a lie / The whole world reduced to ashes ‘cause this poor girl’s brain is on re / My baby’s going crazy - and you would never know / She was perfectly normal and sane just yesterday / And nobody can help us - there’s no cause or cure - but I wont - let them through the door when they come and try to take - her away to the asylum where she’ll be sedated inside a padded room every day / Things got really strange the day she forgot my name - what the hell? / She trembles and quakes from the mutinous pain - she’s not well / And I can’t do this all by myself - I call the specialists up and I plead for their help / But they’re giving us the run-around and sending us all over the town / Maybe I should have called an exorcist instead / They wont let us leave and she refuses to pee for the tests / to her it’s just movie and the best seats are inside her head / Why don’t they serve liquor at the hospital? I need a sti drink - I need an entire bottle / I’m gonna drown my nerves in alcohol
till they’re all dead / ‘Cause these doctors haven’t listened to a god damn word I’ve said / I just want her back - the same person that she was before - her normal self again - I’m not listening to those friends / Saying I should just leave - she’s still here she’s just lost in her head / I’m with her till the end - because that’s love.

Hold your applause till the end please / The ride isn’t over / The writers are overboard! / Oh yeah / Your worth can be shown with a ten key / We’re never sober / And we never wanna be / Free but we don’t want to be bought / We want the chase but we don’t want to get caught/ Take a good look at the pressure gauge / The end isn’t here yet / But god damn its coming for me / Try and retreat from a shark attack / There’s blood in the water / And we never wanna be / Killed but we want everlasting fame / We want to win but we refuse to play the game / If we survive the ending / What should we expect? / A crown for all that we’ve acquired / Our world is just a speck / Our blackened sacri ces / And every idol we erect / Won’t satisfy our lust for gold / Or the gods around our neck / And all the lost toys sing a song of freedom from the void/I saw the future / When we bit into the rind / There’s darkness all around us but that doesn’t make us blind / Flaws in the woodwork / Starting to sink / We know were taking water but its worse than we think / This is more than a concept / This is tradition / A sickening masterpiece / Oh yeah / What a disaster / Riddled with atrophy / Where will we nd relief / We wanna run the race but we’re getting old / We wanna take the leap but the water’s cold / Here lies the corpse of a brave new world / Strangled to death with smoke and gold.

River
05:45
|

Where did we leave o - years ago / The time moves quickly past us / Is your conscience clean - is your heart full? / Or was that all washed away? / Tried
swimming back to you-fought the current- but no up stream progress/You look so forlorn stripped of your essence/You struggle to make your way to the banks
- I’m swept further down - and we’re both claimed by the river / Don’t succumb to the amnesia - distance and time - measured in waves between us/ keep your head above - Don’t just give up the last shred of us / How the torrent carves / Sculpting our shapes / erasing our features / Save for the scars / and the heartache / which weigh us down in the water / Tried reaching out to you / Did you see me? / Think the tide pulled you under / Is the dam- age done? / Have you surrendered? / Should I bother to take / this last desperate breath? / Would it be a mistake if I saved you from the river? / I can’t help but wonder - what our lives would be like - had you not drowned / And I can’t stand the timbre of this ticking clock, I hate the sound / The noise of rushing water is a constant reminder of my loss / I think the dam is breaking and I don’t believe the flood can be stopped / It can’t be stopped / The strongest bonds can be broken over time / It dismantles and drains our eroded lives / What a god damn fool - that I was even surprised / that I even imagined our neglected love could survive / Maybe I was wrong - and you’re alright / but the years have been cruel - and I’ve realized / If I hold out hope I’m just begging to be denied.

Flying Low

ately I’ve been so low / All I can do is think of you / Are you still ying solo? / Tossing, turning, tangled in my sheets / I’ve struck a killing blow/Wait/Don’t turn and walk away/We’ve got so much to say/Can you feel it/Hey/I’ll put it on display/I don’t know how to play/With the other kids/Pray/ It’s hot and plain as day / I love the way you fray / Lets burn and see it / Grey / And I can’t find a way / To bring the color back / I’ll stay in my imaginarium / Where everything is just the way that I want it / I’ll be flying low / So I can see your flare when you light it / I took my turn, I took my chances / I’ve run amuck in my romances / Frustrated and confused / I’ve been loved and I’ve been used / If you took a moment to look through your tears / You’d see that I was crying too / Great / I’ve come around too late / I Guess it’s my mistake / Fucking classic / Rain / Call o this bloody game / Lets move it to a day / With no weather / Stay / I’ll eat your perfect brain / I love the way you say / We are endless / Pain / Is like an evil stain / I can’t keep it at bay / It fades in my imaginarium.

Zombie Bride
04:39
|

No one throws funerals for zombies / They’re rather dificult to bury you see / and they tend to make quite a scene / some repulsive eulogies / Not to mention their poor hygiene / These days a co n can be pricey / Just think, give it a day at tops a week
/ And her grave will be empty / Zombies took her away / Thought she was gone but now she’s back from the grave / And there’s nowhere I can hide from my reanimated bride / Her death was tragic to me / but she belongs in the cemetery / And my arms are
getting so tired from digging holes six feet deep / that she crawls out of with ease / Let me be clear I’m not the monster / Be- fore her death I never wronged her / And I played no role in how she died / We lived a pretty average life / Now she wont give me any space / She stands crookedly outside my place for days / I’m fed up with the constant chase / And her decaying face / Zombies took her away / Thought she was gone but now she’s back from the grave / And there’s nowhere I can hide from my reanimated bride / Her death was tragic to me / but she belongs in the cemetery / And my voice is getting so hoarse from beg-
ging her to rest in peace / But she can’t understand my pleas / Tighten her blindfold and light her cigarette / It’s time to truly put this to an end / No family or former friends / Just the ring squad and the undead / She has no last words she’s incapable of regret / Just don’t forget to aim for her head / I cant watch - I’m too upset / and I wont pretend that my heart will mend. / Run as
fast as I can - she’ll never be / Far behind - to haunt my mind / Over the crypt and the bodies / Against the gate / Her sudden weight / Her teeth sink in / My mortal skin / is wearing thin / It feels so strange - after the bite / A numbing wave creeps up my spine and I / Seem to be
having trouble recalling all the reasons why / I run away / But now I’m not afraid / I’m finally free from all the pain / If you can’t beat em why not join them / It’s pleasant feeling no emotion - At last / Now that’s all buried in the past / This wasn’t my ideal solution / A gruesome excuse for a conclusion / Oh well - it beats an eternity in hell.

Mad Sun Party
04:33
|

Mad sun party for a hundred days / You think of love in very strange ways / Frothing at the mouth with a thousand strays / You set me aflame /warm your hands by the blaze / Eat me, Drink me / Swell out of your clothes and cry me an ocean / Shrink down to nothing and drown in your sorrow / Love me / Leave me / It’s what I want with you so cut me wide open / Think nothing of me and don’t call me tomorrow / Mad sun beauty you’re a tough act to follow / With a love so full that you leave me hollow / I just saw the queen of hearts and she wants your head / She’ll have to pry it from my hands when I’m cold and dead.
