1. Fix Your Face

You want a vision you can’t have, a line you can’t walk. Writhing around on the floor, you won’t be aware until it’s too late, because you never look around, you’re like a deer in the headlights, baby. Queen of delusion, you will never learn compassion–start a fire, when you can never put it out. You’re burning up in the blaze you started. I want to see you face down, because I know that you play that part so well.

Wide awake the casket is ready for the viewing, but we are still moving… Already we smell of rot, there will be no come back, no coming back for any of us now. Don’t you realize there is nowhere you can hide? Where I’m from, there is never a rest for the hunted. No way you and I will ever be done, we’re never apart. Whatever you’re doing, we will always cross your mind. You were nothing, now you’ll pay the price for her.

2. Lurch

I don’t know your name, but I know you. Do you lust for fame or forgiveness? Well, I’ll give you everything you want. Well, I’ll give you anything you need. You won’t be perfect, so best to freeze you in this state, go on home, you shouldn’t be walking around on this day.

Now you’ve stuffed your throat, you’ve walked on your burial ground. Oh, you’ll draw the crowd, with honey porcelain skin, and crystal baby blouse. Your picture in my pocket, I’m obsessed with you. Oh sweetie, there’s no sense in crying, you’re above them all. Barricade the door, you can hold my hand for comfort when you fall. You wear your skin so fresh, your smell intoxicates. Little scarlet.

3. Black Bubblegum

Got so much salt from your lies poured into me. You didn’t see yourself dead already, so full of air with every breath you breathe, but you forget that in your fairy tale, I’m the wolf. All this attention got you thinking that you’re a queen, you think that everything you’re doing isn’t a dream–so long as it feels alright.

I had gotten frozen by the way you walked, by the love that you gave, by that look on your face–it’s a cover up. I know everything. You’re made for letter fame, regret is part of your name. There’s something you couldn’t tell, it’s what you wanted to feel, it’s what you’re dying to feel.

Check out your face on the wall… Like what you see? I’m sure you see yourself, oh, so unique. You’re just a sucker for the flame of the week, but you forget that in your fairytale, I’m the wolf. All this attention got you thinking you were a queen. You thought that everything in life you want should be free. Nothing is what you think.

4. Sick On Sunday

I could never have. Standing here with you–one regret, one mistake, nothing we could do… After this is done you can go your way. Don’t forget, this is how everything should be… Don’t you ever go, don’t you ever go.

5. When Acting As A Particle

7. When Acting As A Wave

Now, you live forever, you laugh. The winner and the best man. Corrupter. Shapeshifter. Your voice is the sound of nothing–butcher of every art form, peddler of deceit. Watching the hour hand drag, destroyer of the past.

We’re smart enough to say we’re sorry, not smart enough to start again. Betraying death’s illusion, the pride before the fall… Running for the exit, there is no way out.

8. 82588

Fallen angel, how you’ve changed, poison runs through your veins. You were never a saint, but now you’re a sin, spoiled rotten from within. Who clipped your wings? So useless… Can you cut them yourself? Chewed off your own? Good thinking….

You were coming apart and I thought I could help you hrough the fever. Not the first one, not the last one, I’m not sorry for you.

I remember a time when everything that you knew, I thought I already knew in my mind, and I thought you knew the same. I know truth will set you free. Cracked and crazy, baby. I know truth will set us free.

9. Milk Lizard

My thick tongue hangs down low to the ground, licking up the sweat coming off of her heels. She wants my teeth to wear. She wants my hell to bear. Well, missy, it’s a lock for load, if you wanna grind hips, don’t do it alone. Don’t save no dance, no, not for me, just cut me out.

You crept up like a disease, looking like a girl who would try to deceive. Your heart was trying to bleed, and this can be the right road if you’re talking to me. Well, you thought you’d tear my skin from bone just ‘cause it was cold and you needed a coat. Don’t tease me, just start digging the hole. Start digging, now.

Oh you’re getting so sleepy tonight, when you wanna go home but you don’t have a ride. No time, just taste, won’t touch for free. My salt your sweet.

And you were there, and I asked every question that never had an answer. I see right through you. We never even noticed that there always was a reason that we were never meant to be left alone. This feels like neverending.

10. Party Smasher

You are only the faded star of my design, shut down, lost potential, crazy from your questions answered. Walk forth, you’re the fulfillment of a fallacy, creature from fantasy–don’t think that you ever knew me. Don’t you ever change? Won’t you ever change?

We are forever entwined stuck in a play we can’t get out of. Don’t you ever change? Won’t you ever change…?

You and I will never be able to end this, we are forever entwined, stuck in a play we can’t get out of. You say, “someday, we can start up again, without a plan, no sign of the pressure,” I say you’re crazy. I hope you see my face in the mirror, you will never learn. You’re forever dead to me. Won’t you ever see your shadow?

11. Dead As History

I made a big mistake with you tonight, the way our insides burned like moths flying to light, as the sun begins to set, I cannot find my way back. Walking with my eyes on fire, I never found the way back.

We’ll never feel like anything is wrong, but the tragedy is not to start a sad song. I know the games we play give us away, a way for us to see if we still feel alive.

As the sun begins to set, I cannot find my way back. Walking with my eyes on fire, I never found a way back. We’ll never feel like anything is wrong, but the tragedy is not to start a sad song. I know the games we play give us away, a way for us to see if we still feel alive. Walls we have built and bridges we have burned, deep through the heart, the further we feel from harm.

Time is always right behind us, like the lamb under the moon. I’ll hold on to this forever–that is never long enough.

Time is always just behind us, like the lamb under the gun. I’ll hold onto this forever–there is never long enough.

12. Horse Hunter

Stumbling over dead, forgotten. Catch you and the secret falls away. You were drunken from delusion, slipped and so the secret fell away. I see tears in your eyes. This party is a bore and you’re the joke. Me and you, we are the light, say it with me, give me your hand. You should go your way, you are no friend of mine. Must you live those lies than see inside these walls?

Commerce is your god, cannibalistic flies, monarch of your womb, messiah of your thighs. How sacred is the web that must be spun? Your taste is on the tip of every tongue.

Now, lets lay down, take me all the way, all the way down. Shout, shout out loud, make us proud for days, all the way down, let’s lay down, take me all the way, now let’s lay down. Now, give to fire, beyond the soul’s desire.

13. Mouth Of Ghosts

Our trust runs out tonight, and everything we said dissolves, and now we say our last goodbyes, with nothing to resolve. I never imagined you’d turn into this, but then the end was always close, we could feel it all along.

Don’t you know where we could hide all the lies?

You were a mouth without a heart, an action without meaning, and you walk afraid, reaching for the hands that turned closed.
