Closure in Moscow - We Want Guarantees, Not Hunger Pains
I’ll be a martyr for your indifference if you promise to line my tomb with trinkets There won’t be a resonating cry just an awkward formal dialogue between my ghost and those I’ve denied We want guarantees, not hunger pains but starvation just won’t subside
Somewhere between the penance & the patience You drift with every word they say Somewhere between the penance & the patience I think we’ve lost our way
You told me what you stand for The sleepless crusade The bitter campaign
In every room that we walk in the walls are skin and they’re writhing oh they’re writhing
In every room that we walk in the walls are skin and they’re writhing oh they’re writhing
Somewhere between the penance & the patience You drift with every word they say Somewhere between the penance & the patience I think we’ve lost our way
You’d be unwise to sate the urge but go ahead you wouldn’t be the first
In every room that we walk in the walls are skin and they’re writhing oh they’re writhing
In every room that we walk in the walls are skin and they’re writhing oh they’re writhing
Somewhere between the penance & the patience You drift with every word they say Somewhere between the penance & the patience I think we’ve lost our way
Somewhere between the penance & the patience You drift with every word they say Somewhere between the penance & the patience I think we’ve lost our way
Somewhere between the penance & the patience Somewhere between the penance & the patience
Tool - Vicarious Eye on the TV 'cause tragedy thrills me Whatever flavor it happens to be
Like: "Killed by the husband" "Drowned by the ocean" "Shot by his own son" "She used a poison in his tea, Then (she) kissed him goodbye" That's my kind of story It's no fun til someone dies.
Don't look me at like I am a monster Frown out your one face, but with the other (you) Stare like a junkie into the TV Stare like a zombie while the mother holds her child, Watches him die, Hands to the sky cryin "why, oh why?"
Cause I need to watch things die from a distance Vicariously, I live while the whole world dies You all need it too - don't lie.
Why can't we just admit it? Why can't we just admit it? We won't give pause until the blood is flowin' Neither the brave nor bold Nor brightest of stories told We won't give pause until the blood is flowin'
I need to watch things die from a good safe distance Vicariously, I live while the whole world dies You all feel the same so why can't we just admit it?
Blood like rain fallin' down Drum on grave and ground
Part vampire, part warrior, Carnivore and voyeur Stare at the transmittal. Sing to the death rattle.
La, la, la, la, la, la, la-lie
Credulous at best Your desire to believe in Angels in the hearts of men. But pull your head on out (of) your hippie haze And give a listen Shouldn't have to say it all again
The universe is hostile So impersonal Devour to survive So it is, so it's always been
We all feed on tragedy. It's like blood to a vampire.
Vicariously, I live while the whole world dies Much better you than I
Splintered piece of glass falls, in the seat, gets caught These broken windows, open locks, reminders of the youth we lost In trying so hard to look away from you we followed white lines to the sunset I crash my car everyday the same way
Time to let this pass (the time it takes, the time it takes to let go) Time runs through our veins. (it starts and stops and starts and stops again) We don't stand a chance in this threadbare time (the time it takes, the time it takes to let go) Time to let this pass (the time it takes, the time it takes to let go)
Staring at the setting sun No reason to come back again The twilight world in blue and white The needle and the damage done
I don't want to feel this way forever A dead letter marked return to sender
The broken watch you gave me turns into a compass It's two hands still point to the same time 12:03, our last goodbye
So push the seats back a little further I can see the headlights coming So push the seats back a little further Roll the windows down and take a breath I can see the headlights coming They paint the world in red and broken glass
Time to let this pass (the time it takes, the time it takes to let go) Time runs through our veins. (it starts and stops and starts and stops again) We don't stand a chance in this threadbare time (the time it takes, the time it takes to let go) Time to let this pass (the time it takes, the time it takes to let go)
Staring at the setting sun No reason to come back again The twilight world in blue and white The needle and the damage done
I don't want to feel this way forever A dead letter marked return to sender
The spinning hubcaps set the tempo, for the music of the broken window The Cameras on and the cameras click We open up the lens and can't stop
Staring at the setting sun No reason to come back again The twilight world in blue and white The needle and the damage done
I don't want to feel this way forever
The lights are on and the cameras click We open up the lens (to broken glass!)
Staring at the setting sun (And it's over!) No reason to come back again (In a flash!) The twilight world in blue and white (and I'll never!) The needle and the damage done (ever understand!)
I don't want to feel this way forever (Understanding!) (In a Car Crash!) A dead letter marked return to sender (In a Car Crash!) (In a Crash!) In a Crash!
One day the dreamers died within us When all our answers never came We hid the truth beneath our skin but Our shadows never looked the same
A ghost is all that's left Of everything we swore we never would forget We tried to bleed the sickness But we drained our hearts instead We are, we are the dead
And when we couldn't stop the bleeding We held our hearts over the flame We couldn't help but call it treason After that we couldn't fill our frames After that our shadows never looked the same
A ghost is all that's left Of everything we swore we never would forget We tried to bleed the sickness But we drained our hearts instead We are, we are the dead
In summers past we'd challenge fate With higher pitch and perfect aim And standing fast, we'd radiate A light we loved but never named But the answers never came And our shadows never looked the same
A ghost is all that's left (we are the ones who lost our faith) Of everything we swore we never would forget (can we be saved?) We tried to bleed the sickness But we drained our hearts instead We are, we are the dead (we are the ones who lost our faith) A ghost of everything we thought but never said (can we be saved?) We tried to bleed the sickness But we drained our hearts instead
We are the ones who lost our faith We dug ourselves an early grave We are the dead, can we be saved?
I'll lay me down tonight Much further down Swim in the calm tonight This art does drown
(What follows) me as the whitest lace of light (Will swallow whole) just begs to be imbrued? What follows has lead me to this place where I belong, with all erased
All insects sing tonight The coldest sound I'd send God's grace tonight Could it be found?
(What follows) me as the whitest lace of light (Will swallow whole) just begs to be imbrued? What follows has lead me to this place where I belong, with all erased
I'll lay me down tonight Much further down Watch stars go out tonight On sinking ground
I'll lay me down, I'll lay me down
(What follows) me as the whitest lace of light (Will swallow whole) just begs to be imbrued? What follows has lead me to this place where I belong, with all erased
What follows will swallow whole What follows will swallow whole
I sit here clutching useless lists, keys for doors that don't exist I crack my teeth on pearls I tear into the history Show me what it means to me in this world Yeah, in this world
'Cause I am due for a miracle I'm waiting for a sign I'll stare straight into the sun And I won't close my eyes Till I understand or go blind
I see the parts but not the whole I study saints and scholars both No perfect plan unfurls Do I trust my heart or just my mind Why is truth so hard to find in this world Yeah in this world
'Cause I am due for a miracle I'm waiting for a sign I'll stare straight into the sun And I won't close my eyes Till I understand or go blind (till I understand or go blind)
I know that there's a point I've missed A shrine or stone I haven't kissed A scar that never graced my wrist A mirror that hasn't met my fist But I can't help feeling like I'm
Due for a miracle I'm waiting for a sign (waiting for a sign) I'll stare straight into the sun And I won't close my eyes (and I won't close my eyes)
Due for a miracle I'm waiting for a sign I'll stare straight into the sun And I won't close my eyes
Funeral for a friend - This Year's Most Open Heartbreak
Throw that punch swing to hit your target It's a pointless game One better less played Suicide To kiss your kids goodnight will you take from them What they've taken from you
To be the last one who will sing you to sleep To be the last one who will sing you to...
Just like your broken records (you're broken) A comfort for you tonight
Throw that punch Swing to hit the target It's a pointless game One better less played Suicide To kiss your kids goodnight will you take from them What they've taken from you
Just like your broken records (you're broken) A comfort for you tonight
Just like your broken records (you're broken) a comfort for you tonight
(we will never be the same) Same old songs on a brand new stereo (we will never be the same) Same old songs on a brand new stereo (we will never be the same) Same old songs on a brand new stereo (we will never be the same) Same old songs
To be the last one who will sing you to sleep To be the last one who will sing you to Just like your broken records (you're broken) A comfort for you tonight Just like your broken records (you're broken) A comfort for you tonight
Did you come here to kill, or did you come here to die, or did you really think that spaceships would descend from the sky!
Bending light and beaming forth across space-time, To see us scared in the reflection of their oil-black eyes To stalk us like a predator like our movies imply
They're not the one's who've come to kill us Come to fill us full of lead and I don't want to hate us and they are not the ones who mutilate our animals. Or travel through the skies, they're not the ones who cause us harm
We are We are, we are, we are We are still-life and cold blooded (I will not be) We are still-life and cold blooded (I will not be)
Hellbent on heaven
While our righteous men are stuffing corpses full of shit and pain
We are, we are, we are still life We are, we are, we are still life We are, we are, we are Still-life
They're not the ones who cause us harm We are, we are (Did you come here to kill or did you come here to die?) We are still-life in cold blood We are still-life in cold blood We feel We feel nothing
Stuffing corpses full of shit and pain They bloviate about a future beyond the moon To bring about another planet's doom To discover peaceful life And beat a war-drum to its tune Unless my prayers are answered And our end is coming soon
So dismissive, so free with praise heaped on unworthy subjects I’m so sorry that this is not what you wanted You must be so disappointed that we failed To deliver just for you
(the) Killer hooks to get right under your Skin so thick we’d need a harpoon Have some patience wait and see We’re dropping bombs here
Thank you so much, for your well valued critique It has been noted Noted that I have lost all respect for you Your so quick to judge you’re opinion void Take some time to absorb these
Killer hooks to get right under your Skin so thick we’d need a harpoon Have some patience wait and see We’re dropping bombs here
Killer hooks to get right under your Skin so thick we’d need a harpoon Have some patience wait and see THIS HAS ONLY JUST BEGUN
