Bluer Birds
01:58
|
|||
A bluebird sits in the corner
He no longer sings
His song has flown away
And left his heart
Bluer than his plumage
Bluer birds sing the blues
Until the light fades
And we forget them
A heart left half eaten on the hillside
And in thy hand a hatchet
An arrow through the throat of a fawn
Break it's neck and let it end

Knuckle Dragger
03:42
|
|||
Can you even see past your Cro-Magnon brow?
Spewing accusations
Pointing fingers with six pointing back
At your own face
Coiled like a spitting snake
With a lust for violence
Knuckle dragger.
I'll burn every single one of the wooden teeth
Out of your mouth
So the next time that you speak
It's just a senseless sound
You are a match that someone lit for no reason
You will burn so bright tonight

Disrepair
03:28
|

In disrepair
In disrepair
Your fear gave birth to my pain
Which in turn gave birth to rage
You are the mother of my suffering
And how do I forget pain?
You've been sleeping in the break
Resting your head on stones
For so long
It's not your bones that hold you up
Your calloused skin keeps you on your feet
Every face you hang around is a mask
The pallbearers all hide knives in their boots
Grins locked into cold disdain for life
Not quite masked by the parade of gold and red
When strings get cut
They don't grow back
When people go
They don't come back
To suffer is to grow
I hold my wounds open
In heaven everything is fine
In heaven everything is fine
I wander round the pit
And lift my hands to heaven

God Botherer
02:00
|
|||
Unhinge your jaw
To scream the world deaf
Until everyone sees it
The way you do
A god botherer
Screaming himself raw
Until everyone sees it
The way you do
Mind like an armed Camp
Heart like a walled city
Half clenched-fist somewhere between
holding on and letting go.
Feeding from troughs meant for pigs.
A self-loathing worshipper
at the shrine of apathy.
Bathe in it's light!
The King of nothing,
Knows what's wrong
Can't be set right
Can't be set right
Can't be set right
Go and bother God with your fears
Leave me alone.
Just leave me alone.

Cursed
02:04
|
|||
Time without effort heals no wounds
Milk and honey
Won't numb my brain
To the point where
This boredom doesn't plague me
Drag me by the hair
Still screaming
I know how this begins
I know what comes next
I know how it ends
Milk and honey
Won't numb my brain
Won't tell my heart
That pain stops
Milk and honey
Won't numb my brain
Won't tell my heart
That pain stops
Pain stops

Nature's Noose
05:30
|
|||
Everyone I know just seems to want to die
As if the nothingness of death
Is so much better than their life
And I understand
I understand
I understand
The drive to escape and find an end
Without condemning
or condoning
Without condemnation or condoning
I've lived long enough to know
Relief does not come with the rising of the sun
I've been held against the grind stone
For long enough to know
The struggle to justify the ache never ends
There's no escaping nature's noose
I will not condemn you
For tying your own
I understand
I understand
I understand
But I will seek to live my life
To the bitterness
of its end

Lessen
04:09
|
|||
I get it, you're unhappy with your life
Grin and bear it, or make a change
The past is a corpse in a coffin
And I'm not one to dig up graves
Cuz I'm not who I've been
Anymore than you are now
Who you were back then
It's not a hook I want to bite
Your offer to relive the past
It's not a place that we could find again
Time moves forward
Why don't you?

Ever Guilty
01:28
|
|||
Twenty seven years
A mass of flesh
Skin,
bones,
and negative feelings
Bring it down
The axe, on my neck
The executioner's swing
Head on the block
Wait for the fall
Quivering neck
Severing halt
My hands work evil
Like yours work iron
Because I'm guilty, ever guilty
Guilty, ever guilty
I'm guilty, ever guilty
Guilty, ever guilty

The Miscarriage
04:36
|
|||
I, not thou
I deny
All that is not myself
I, not thou
I deny
All else that exists
Self consumed
And self-consuming
I grin from the gutter
Come to me as I demand you to be
Your pain is not my pain
I do not want to understand
|

Roots Torn
01:26
|
|||
In heaven everything is fine
Roots torn and cast aside
I'll be fine
Left in lieu in the dregs of heaven
I'll be fine
Hope is a noose, tied
But never used
