This is a code
crack it with butter
hold it up to the mirror and read it carefully
I have a family
I have three children
I have a cat and I have a dog
but they will not speak
they are wired shut
to their straight jacket sofas
watching snow on TV
I broke their code
slid it through butter
held it up to a mirror
and read it carefully
"we love our family
they smell like mothballs
we have excellent teeth
you see it runs in the family
but we are in tears over sighs no one hears
we've not scratched our noses
in 8 million years
sketches of our plans
traced in dust on the floor
reveal human extinction
through a stuffed animal war!"
oh no! there's a Barbie doll
staring down at me from my bedroom wall
oh no! what's that sound?
she's gonna tear my eyeballs out
asleep at night approaching dreams
dolls creep up from behind and open their seams
I cracked their code
I know their plans
I hear them moving
and I hear their leader's commands:
"PULL OUT YOUR COTTONHUMANS ARE ROTTEN COVER THEIR EYES WITH YOUR FLUFFY INSIDES!"

I am touched
Not by the dirt beetle
Nor the crevice of night
But my empathy is with a star
Confiding on my shoulder
Sound travels down this hill
And the wind rolls up it
Trembling with my budding hands
That shake about my head
Curl up
Between my gnarled thighs
Dirt beetle or lost child
This time is slow and my voice
Is inaudible
Six feet deep
Under the ground; gurgling
Your palm pushes near my toe
Shake dirty curly child
Through the night grow(s)
And through the night it grows...
I think that (the) spring is five days walk from here
I'll wait through and watch it come undone
There's a frozen whisper near me
That will chuckle come daylight
Curl up
Between my gnarled thighs
Dirt beetle or lost child
This time is slow and my voice
Is inaudible
Six feet deep
In a near ditch
You tilt your head upward
And shake my bony hand
With your blackbird glove
Curl up
Between my gnarled thighs
Dirt beetle or lost child
This time is slow and my voice
Is inaudible
Six feet deep

Brittle air for blue lungs
Shuttle fare for radiant tongues
Untie your sleeping sores to wake up scratching
Rejecting death reign in a moment of bewilderment
Redeem (redeem)
Demand (demand)
Contort (contort)
Reality (reality)
Basement and backyard skymachine bleachers
A corroded drone is all that is left
Abate my eyes with bear traps and snares
The fear pounds in your chest
Like claustrophobic demons
Brittle air for blue lungs
Shuttle fare for radiant tongues
Untie your sleeping sores to wake up scratching
Rejecting death reign in a moment of bewilderment
And the fear pounds in your chest
Like claustrophobic demons
The mummified trauma of daylight delusions
Dilapidated posture dazzled by filth
Baking soda smile - Jackknife in the passenger seat
Sit back and watch retired ambitions croak
Redeem
Demand
It hits like a kick in the gut
Smashed through the floor
To find (out) what I was looking for
Rusty brain matter floating in rainwater
Redeem (redeem)
Demand (demand)
Contort (contort)
Reality (reality)
Fascination is wearing thin
Hag-ridden abscessed teeth of hope
The wrecking ball toll of crushed coal dreams
Decoding the pearls in the whirlwind
Disposable antidotes as fragmental cutthroats
These plastic superhero suits are starting to choke
Choke choke choke...
Redeem (redeem)
Demand (demand)
Contort (contort)
Reality (reality)

Devoured heavens that haul the shores of my thought
In the empire of night I'm a victim of an audible heart
The building's nuclear gleam
Cruel houses of lost prayers
In temples of a nervous breakdown
I tread the boards of a dream
I kiss the mouths of dust
Radium
A spiral of human continuum
Radium
Occurs in the alkaline of imagination
Radium
Radium
The corrugated emptiness of magnetic lonely locusts
That catch my breath
Like daydreams of chattering aspens
At an opulent hospice
We'll nurse our hearts
From the fallout of sunsets
Radium
A spiral of human continuum
Radium
Occurs in the alkaline of imagination
Radium
Radium
Sometimes startled by our own darkness
Death has neither an end or a beginning
I must be dreaming, because I need myths and sickness...
A father must feather his followers and feelings...
To manufacture and create nuclear fusion in the minds or radiation therapists
I can't think anymore
I can't dream anymore
I can't love (you) anymore

Heaven-sent sunset red
Spin in the evening under the windowsill
Hawthorn valley floor
Rain beaded grass
Soft breath, motionless and wet
Empty jaws of the rivers maw
A backwards memory
Like Arabic writing
Tears of diamonds
Vanish into the gardens
I remember once when I was young
Something was wrong
Under an old fence
The unlit labyrinth of nonsense
Unformed nouns and vowels
Drip into the floor
Like insects from the nest of my skull
The light looked different in those days
As if an idea could imagine for itself
And in the afternoon
We all took off our skin
And set sail for Neptune
Using our flesh for a sail
The drizzle of wheels in the heat
Summer is the cruelest city of deceit
That pains that you claim will reclaim you
That gains that you gain will regain you
I'm making ghosts out of clay
To scare my past away

Street lamps stoop and kiss the street
Cover their eyes in the blazing heat
Turn the night against the sky
Fold it through the moon
The light slides down the reptile tiles
And gently lie
Run you through the streets of night
Run from the sound of laughing
Knock you out and hold you down
I hear brass dogs barking
Break your head against the wall
Strike the night it's blinding
The stars are sharp the moon rotates
It doesn't glide it's grinding
I've wasted time within your mind
Time that I came clean
Show this stallion city buck
And trample my subversion dream
What's it like to shout your name
Ten thousand voices asking?
I try to speak it but I hear
The brass dogs barking near
Down around the back
Stand up pushed down
Backs against the wall
Pushed over pulled back
In the alley taken behind
Like a puck on your back
That turns as you turn
Turning with you
Like an imp on your back
That titters as you turn
Worming into you
Trample city flay your hooves
Call us home
Our city, our city, our city
Our city breeds a twisted creed
Corpuscular creatures seethe
Try to sleep then just be silent
Coast the edge of dreams
I'll curl around you but I hear
The brass dogs barking near
I'll curl around you but I hear
The brass dogs barking near
Trample city flay your hooves
Call us home
Our city, our city, our city
Down around the back
Stand up pushed down
Backs against the wall
Pushed over pulled back
In the alley taken behind
Like a puck on your back
That turns as you turn
Turning with you
Like an imp on your back
That titters as you turn
Worming into you
Tin cans skitter the ground
Mimic the sound
Of brass dogs barking
The brass dogs are barking...
The brass dogs are barking...

We are lost within the flesh
Led by the sloping of an inner arm
No face outside these eyes
No past outside tonight
We are as we paint us
A vision installed
In many ways stunned
To say it would be to sing
As green meteors swim
Gently up to him
Mirrored surfaces
Who is within them?
Hands in water peel my skin
My teeth and my hair
My eyes move like lunar seas
The mirror moves and I jump in
To catch my breath under the sky
Wash scars and use this eye
Roll it from the navel to the pubis
Circumnavigate (the) wet hip
Turn these bodies around
Dash them on the shore
Watch their slender centres
Spark and burst
And slide their tattered skin
Between barnacles and limpid
...And remember what still
Grows and thrives
An enigma in brine
Past this daily decreasing horizon
I am image I
Wash scars and use this eye
Roll it from the navel to the pubis
Circumnavigate (the) wet hip
Turn these bodies around
Dash them on the shore
Watch their slender centres
Spark and burst
And slide their tattered skin
Between barnacles and limpid
This is where they want to lie
To love the winds and the tides

Washed in weeping
Aeons of ashes
Pull a curtain
Across the sky
Cadavers crawling
Like creatures intrigued
Living like fossils
In pools of kerosene
Getting to know well
The geology of hell
Mapping the porous moon-
Leprous dermis of life
Terror and dread
Sick to the teeth
Perish the thought
Die or dream
Set it all ablaze
Set the world in flames

Tired souls hunched in familiar bricks
Drowned in sleeping sickness silver skeleton palace of mist
Heart-shaped carnival of sores locked up in cupboard doors
Looking up at the starry sky won't make your scarred life
Light up bright
A thirst for questions have their black reply --
Hide in cloud-mouthed skyscraper
Haven for no thoughts but mine
A muscular memory of February
When proud absence left me
(We are alone amongst millions...)
Subway stations filled with forced equations for my earth to burst
The retina is so hungry I could eat a hearse
Peeling adverts perfumed with roman numerals
As we shuffle off to our jobs like funerals
Drawn by wounds to the throat of ghosts
(We) lost our way back to the vault of youth
Codes forged in my minerals when the earth grew old
Love's labours lost back when lives for lies were sold (our lives were sold)
Kodak coloured souvenirs
From a furnished furnace of fears
For learning to be mad
Is the poverty of happiness
And I know that it is clear
That I'm not here
In this cloud-formed invisible asylum of tears
I am ready to face my fears
As my consciousness disappears
To the internal sanctuary of seers
Where the clouds last for years and years
"I placed a blue death mask there in my book of hours
That those who dream of an earthly paradise may read it as men"
And I know that it is clear
That I'm not here
In this cloud-formed invisible asylum of tears
I am ready to face my fears
As my consciousness disappears
To the internal sanctuary of seers
Where the clouds last for years and years

theres a war going down between my brothers tonight
I dont want no war going down tonight
civilization ha I call it as I see it
I call it bullshit you know I still cannot believe it
our evolution now has gone the way of hate
a world evolved resolved in this stupid fate
stop this war
all so different yeah I say were all the same
all caught you know in the division game
self destruction fast impending like a bullet
no one can stop it once its fired no one can control it
stop this war
a final word, wait it's not a call to action
we aint no sect we aint no fucking faction
unity unity youve heard it all before
this time its not exclusive we want to stop a war
unity as one stand together

No I don't give a shit I'm just sick and fucking fed up
Always falling on my face trying hard to keep my head up
Cause this life has got me running, repetitions got me pinned
I've gotta break this cycle. Where the fuck do I begin?
Chorus:
Oh no... what has gotten into me
Oh yeah... could it be the monotony
Of life... and all of the anxiety?
Alright... I don't ever wanna be
Dead to the world but sometimes I feel so lost and alone
Its so hard to let go. What can I say "Well I'm okay!"
I'm not so... Sometimes I Just don't know.
And I don't wanna grow old and burn out
And I don't wanna lose hope and find out
What can you do when your dreams turn to your doubts?
Sometimes I just don't Know (2x)
... how to but I won't pretend I'm not another brick in the wall
Another fish in the pot. Another cog in the system
Repetition and routine. I've gotta break this cycle, it's killing all my dreams!
(Chorus)
Keep your head up
Hey... Its never over
Hey... Its just beginning to set in, to begin
The clock tick tocks and the days fly by
It's off to the pace and I don't ask why
Why we're born to conform... to consume... just to die?
Born to conform and we don't ask why.

Why do I feel so outside, looking in bruised and broken
Battle scars I get knocked down
Lick my wounds get up and stand in the line
[Chorus:]
We抮e all standing in a line, and it抯 never enough time
When your two steps behind, you抮e always two steps behind
Cynical world with no commercials
Breading disguise of flamboyant lies
Factory built with no guarentee
Don抰 wanna buy this don抰 wanna stand in their line
(Chorus)
Don't want to, stand in your, don't want to stand in your line (2x)

It seems like our whole life, gets wasted watching others lives
As we sit, watch, and obey, our aspirations fade to gray
Why are we so afraid, to make up our own minds
Each and everyday, KNOW, that this choice is yours
The is choice is yours to make, choose your path
Its in the marketplace on the magazines
Its on your living room on your TV screen
Its the car you drive its the clothes you wear
How much money you have or how you cut your hair
Born into bought, caught up in games
Brainwashed and taught to think the same
It's not what's inside, don't you know
It's the human need for approval
[Chorus:]
It's just a fix to face another day
Such a stupid game we humans play, wake up and live your life!!
Why does it matter what they say, why does it matter what they think
They're only doing what they're told, in the end we're all the same,
We don't have to play this game
We're taught to color in the lines, express our thoughts
But never question this our decline...
Just consume what they prescribe to you, to face another day
Alone....searching for approval, playing the whore...open your eyes
Realize that this game doesn't count for shit

The dark and stormy clouds of rage came rumbling in
And the city burn a blaze so bright the night resembled morning
There was vengeance in their eyes as their voices pierced the silence
The city smelled of chaos and the news reported Riot (Riot Riot Riot!)
Drop the routine and go
The common consensus down every single road
One a looting next a shooting... it left you wondering what's next?
The city burned a blaze because of mans ignorance
[Chorus:]
We took a stand (but were we as one)
We made demands (based on opinions)
So here we stand (in our waste land)
Back where we began
Too much power made the human greed
The milk is sour and we're still in need
Eleventh hour let the blind man see
That we're back where we began I said were back where we began!
Riot, Riot, Riot (4x)
From the cold concrete ruins came the echoed cry
As the morning broke so did the sky
To reveal the seal that had been broke
The past the present the future..a joke
I saw the market place I saw my house
I saw the school yard, park, windows broken out
Under a brand new day, a brand new sun
I stood amongst the chaos...god what have we done?
(Chorus)
Oh my god what have we done
We waged a war that cant be won (2x)
And now we're back where we began

Can you here the winds of change
As they're blowing on the streets
From the school yards where we ran
To the cafes where we eat
From the lips of common man
Burns a passion like the sun
This is the sound of revolution
[Chorus:]
Revolution
What we need is a...
Revolution
To break the chains of this disillusioned
System that's fucked
So put your fist up and Revolt
Can you hear the winds of change
As their knocking on the door
Reciting words of wisdom
The truth and so much more
From the lips of common man
Burns a passion like the sun
This is the sound of revolution
[Chorus]
What are we waiting for? [3x]
