This town's an open wound waiting for infection. I see your desperate eyes in all directions. This is our home. You can't buy it, you can't sell it, now move on. We've got hands in pockets reaching for wallets. They tear the flesh from bone no matter what you call it. This is our home. You can't buy it, you can't sell it, now move on. You're searching for the customer in a movement. You can't buy it, you can't sell it, now move on
Won't sleep if you don't face that city down.
Why'd you let it stop there?
Content to sit right on the skin.
Oh man, you're a loss.
Get gone while you can.
How long you sit there in your place.
How'd you get stuck there?
Content to ease back to rank.
Oh man, you're a loss.
Get gone while you can, get gone.
You said, where's the money now?
You said, where's the money?
Destroy me he said. Rode on his own. Was the last time. All the sons in the sky said the same thing. Cast the same spell. Profetas' letter. More dead, more alive. Just the faces. Just the names. No answers. No choices. Just the prose. Just the words. Profetas' letter.
Most days I just get by. There's a storm churning in my mind. I've hated myself for so long that I don't know any other way. I've been beaten down by the voices in my ear. They whisper you'll never be good enough, you'll never be loved. I've been fighting the urge to drown myself in a pitcher. Or maybe the river out back. It's a pretty situation. I've been beaten down by the voices in my ear. They whisper you'll never be good enough, you'll never be loved. It's a pretty situation. Antiquated stations. Circles turning. Hands shaking. Picture contains a million words. I'm stumbling on the streets alone. It's a pretty situation
He's out there somewhere.
Eyes green in the moonlight, teeth ground to graveled bits.
Pacing to and from, and forth and back now.
Perimeter man drags his toe in the sand.
Perimeter man breathes the swampy air.
Perimeter man eyes the evil of night.
...while we're safe inside.
He's out there somewhere.
He lives in the shadow, eyes trained for the darkness.
Hidden by hanging moss, scanning every move - every sound now.
Perimeter man reaches out his hand.
Perimeter man dissolves into the fog.
Perimeter man sees behind the glass.
...he sees us all.
He's out there somewhere.
He walks the line, night by night.
He walks the line, inch by inch.
He peers through the black of the night.
He scans the grounds, and sees me.
I try to rest myself, but he's watching.
He's watching...
Can I love without obsession? These bouts of self doubt are getting worse. All the time become so bad I can't even face you. These days I'm feeling more alone all the time. My body aches. My dreams are getting darker. There's no salvation. I'm burning alive, hoping for one thing. My thoughts are dropping like gravity all the time. I'd like to open my eyes to see daylight and not hurt from thoughts of dashed hopes all night. My body aches. There's no salvation. There's no salvation. I curse this body, this mind, this spirit.
What's the diagnosis? While you waste my fucking time. Prescribe the proper doses. Pharmaceutics control our minds. Lab coat mammon looms to suck the wound. We're left in the cold or drained to the bone. Feed on the sick. Feed on the poor. Live our lives sick. Live our lives... Been trying all our fucking lives. No benefit. Ignoring the pain just to survive. No benefit. Health as business preys on our need. No benefit. While the poor die in the fucking street.
I can't admire your blind faith in humanity. Glassy eyes plugged in to the U.S. pride shit. Culture sucking off the demigods. Support group of lost romantics tied up in semantics. Look around, did we ever have a chance? Who's left but you and I? I can't admire their faith, I can't admire their hope, I can't admire their lives, I can't admire
I'd like to unlearn every fucking thing they ever taught me about how we define out beauty. Wish I could tear down every precept that keeps us ugly and in line. Sell me your miracle cure, sell me your beauty lie. Sell me your perfect face, I'm ready to buy. Spent all my life searching for that one thing. A perfect level I can't attain, just another pill we have to swallow to keep us sedated and in shame. Sell me your miracle cure. Sell me your beauty lie. Sell me your perfect face. I'm ready to buy
Never learned, never found the word.
Took the curse of sight, cast out in the sky.
Brother, where's this end?
I'm facing boundless night.
Can't see the ground.
Can't see the ground below.
Save me.
Never clear, never safe inside.
Saw the Devil's eye flash across the sky.
Brother, where's this end?
I'm facing boundless night.
Can't see the ground.
Can't see the ground below.
Hours pass, time stops cold. Closing in, I speak with ghosts.
Air turns thin, pulse starts to wane, closing in, closing in.
Man was never meant to fly.
Grown tired of the false praise.
Grown tired of trying to wait.
Left last on the beggar's plate.
(On, and on, and on).
These days it's assured to break.
These days there's a sign to face.
These days there's a role you fake.
(On, and on, and on).
I've found there's a simple way.
I've found how humility tastes.
Struck cold I can never shake.
(On, and on, and on).
These days it's assured to break.
These days there's a sign to face.
These days there's a role you fake.
(On, and on, and on).
That time, it's gone. I never felt it at all.
One day, I found it gone.
The place we lost. I never saw it off.
One day, it takes us all.
I'm lost in Groningen.
She takes a step as the morning breaks.
Writhe awake in the dark all night, sign of life spent burned.
They'll never understand.
There's virtue in guilt, paid service to ghosts.
Tried our best, but our time will end before the credits roll.
They'll never understand.
They'll never understand.
Won't misunderstand you again.
There's a gun by the bed, there's a bottle of sin.
She can taste the sweat on her lips as she drinks it in.
Age didn't fade it. Time won't erase it.
She cuts through the air, and glides to another life.
They'll never understand.
They'll never understand.
Pig mounts his steed. Kick the beast in gear. Lead in chamber. Ready to kill. Interceptor. Interceptor. You can't run from the interceptor. Leather shred on pavement. Oil blends to blood. Barrel and the bullet. Trigger slips, you're dead. Interceptor. Interceptor. You can't reason with the interceptor. That pig's a faceless bastion of hatred. Silent and racist. A gun without a soul. For every serve and protect there's an ego left unchecked. On the night you least expect you'll face the lights of the interceptor.
A race to find ourselves and you confide in me. A race against ourselves. It's in our minds. You take the life from me, it's gone in time. One day we'll find our peace, it's in my mind. I'm facing open ends. The answers never come. The answers never come. The racing never ends, it's in our minds. Those times don't end. They live on. You take the life from me, it's gone in time. One day we'll find our peace, it's in our mind. It's in our minds, it lives on. Those times don't end
We've all got everything we need except the one thing we really need. I've never seen a more pathetic collection of dreams. Hostage of privilege. We've all got everything we need except the one thing we really need. Nothing's ever been as good as we believed. Hostage of privilege. Asshole, I know your deal. I've watched you writhe my whole life
Cold night trying to get my head on straight. Tired of placing the blame. Hold tight and try to clear my mind, then lose the site just the same. Nothing's wrong, close my eyes, clear my mind, put my head down and burn. Been so goddamn alone I can barely fucking think. Behind the wheel for days that never end with every mile further I sink. Nothing's wrong, close my eyes, clear my mind, put my head down and burn. It gets hard to look up and realize there's nothing wrong
Honesty and honor may help me sleep but it doesn't keep me warm at night. You said I'm the one real thing in your life. But I know I'll never see your face again. How many years will I drive alone before I find my home. This road tells me I've led myself to this destiny. These lights remind me I'll never see your face again. How many years will I drive alone before I find my home. This road drags me down to my destiny
Another step closer to destruction. Left with the feeling that nothing's gonna change. Fall of the pigs. Oil fueled addiction getting stronger. Black blood funneled right into our veins. Fall of the pigs. Do we embark on endless years of protest? Dreaming one day the pigs are gonna fall. Fall of the pigs. Never trust the fuckers that put their will down on you. Cop, suit, judge, priest. We're all sinking in dust of the dead. The pigs forage, they feed on human flesh. We're all sinking. We let the bastards win. Let the fuckers in. We;re all dying now.
Kicking and screaming and clinging on. Counting down 'til the waking sun. It's kicking, clawing, gnawing through the noose... or suffocate while you beg to be cut loose. Fools believe there's a curse to hang, but I know that there's no such thing. We're led to the gallows but we choose to swing and I've made up my mind, striking back at time. To watch it all slip by. Fools tell me there's a curse to hang, but I know that there's no such thing. As a sentence to the rope from which they'll swing. I've made up my mind, striking back at time. I'll watch it all slip by and look at you swinging from that pole. You didn't lose, you gave up. Now you're reduced to this human pendulum
Scarred your young hands, now pick through the glass.
Your plan went dead wrong, can't trick your way into love.
This haze won't drift off, this night won't live on.
It's a set up, it never let up, and it don't mean a thing.
It's just a vow and a ring.
Can't be everything to everyone, every time.
Stop you're not getting any kind of answer here.
Your plan went dead wrong, can't dig your way out of love.
This curse won't move on, this scar won't scrape off.
It's a set up, it never let up, won't ever stop until you're gone.
Can't be everything to everyone, every time.
The choices you've made can lead to the grave but I never dared to say. Your new found friends and the factions of fakes will leave you there to flay. Defeater - dragging your corpse around. Defeater. Defeater - dragging yourself into the grave. You'll stay the line, never mind where it leads. I'm bound to keep quiet. Stigma of conscience outweighs the disease. Stand back and watch you sink. There's no rescue left. There's no answer. Defeater - dragging your corpse around. Defeater. Defeater - dragging yourself into the grave.
Sacrifice, for the city's sake you'll watch it incinerate.
Sacrifice, takes a fire to wash away the human waste.
Was it a crime? Was it a crime?
Leave a burning wake in the city's place, was it a crime?
A disgrace, to scrape a city whole and watch it degenerate.
A disgrace, like a parasite. Dig it out to desecrate.
Was it a crime? Was it a crime?
Wait close by, I need your touch in the night.
As years pass by dark is all I can see.
Fear in my skin, a body filled with disease.
Headsick and tied up, crossed out and dead on.
A life cloaked in, a life cloaked in red.
Close your eyes, describe the visions I see.
Time speaks soft words that crawl right through me.
In time, I thought I could stop this disease.
Headsick and tied up, crossed out and dead on.
A life cloaked in, a life cloaked in red.
Give my life to the fire, throw myself to the seas.
Cast my eyes to the sun, to take the sight away.
Fields of stone piled over the bones of the dead.
Every minute tries to still their sound.
Fields of stone piled over the bones of my friends.
But their words won't join them in the ground.
Your name, your word, your verse, your world, not lost to the statuary.
Our chance, our hope, our love, our world, not lost to the statuary.
All of a life consigned to acclaim from a name.
"Sends a permanent shiver down my spine." *
All of a life consigned to a chair, or a chain.
"Oh death... I've flirted with you all my life." **
Fields of stone piled over the bones of my friends.
Their words still shake me with their sound.
Your name, your word, your verse, your world, not lost to the statuary.
Take the early train out to the city. The need every moment. Slowly sucking at the drop of honey. Drugged to keep you dizzy. Cash sucker. Skyline fucker. Toe the line. Life moves on beyond me all around. I'm left sinking in it. Watch the empty faces as they descend into clockwork fixes. Cash sucker. Skyline fucker. Toe the line. While we were dreaming they stole our lives. While we were dreaming they stole our lives. They stole our hope for living, they stole our eyes. They stole our dreams of future, they stole our nights. While we were dreaming.
Blind in one eye, but she managed to see right through.
Managed to see right through, ain't no scab left on this wound.
The blood trickled down, look burned on her skin.
Burned on her skin, ain't no man left in this room.
Blind in one eye, but she could see right through you.
Like a movie dream, can't escape the calling dead.
Ain't no friendly dead, ain't no key left in this hand.
Saw her in the sun, snarling beast he never seen.
A beast he never seen, ain't no hope left in this room.
I see your smile, my instinct tells me to move.
I know you'll track me there too, but you, you'll be my run.
I see your smile, bony fingers scratch at the moon.
Like Rufina trapped in her tomb, but you, you'll be there soon.
I see that smile, it makes my blood run cold.
I see your smile, Carrion stinks on your breath.
Sardonic scowl all that's left, but you, you'll feed the fumes.
I see your smile manifest the face of my death.
Wretched grin that awaits me ahead, but you, won't get me soon.
I see that smile, it makes my blood run cold.
I hear your breath whisper as it freezes the air.
I see your teeth shimmer as they slice through the night.
I feel your touch scrape as I cling to life, I know you're waiting.
Waiting, waiting, waiting...
We never asked for any of this. We never needed any of it. We never looked for any of tit. We never wanted any of it. Shake it off. Shake it off. Shake it off. Shake it off. Shake it off. Shake it off. Shake it off. Shake it off.
The seven sisters spread their fingers across the globe to machinate the sludge of time. Take total control. Who holds the power? Your engines crashing down. Machinate highways built on blood. Seven cities. Ashy pieces, limbs strewn across the road. Machinate grave of the oil age. Seven Cities.
The fight has changed me. How many years since I listened to the night? I've got a race inside of me that never dies. It keeps me alive. Who's your believer? Breathing in death at every step. Seeing demons in the shadows. Who's your believer? Breathing in death at every step. Seeing demons in the shadows Nightmares so real they could touch you. They told me their way to live. Told me, but I never believed.
Shit-red sun rise and replace our moon. Daylight hits and you leave soon. Is there any heart as our bodies move? Is there any soul in the lies we choose? I never planned to live this way. Got to set it straight, got to set it straight. Try to separate body from the mind every night with you is a beautiful lie, I can't refuse. I never planned to live this way. Got to set it straight, I got to set it straight. It might be easy for you, but it ain't easy for me
There's a smell down on the street of rotten flesh and shit on dreams. Once great voice of desperation left our ears and hit the ground. In my town the heroes die from self infliction. Ride on, ride on, ride on death riders. Take your dream out to the streets. Follow the road to sights unseen. Ride on into hell's heat. There's a lie that lives in the street, ladders climbed to reach the peak of cash waved motivation. I can't take it. My stomach turns. In my town the heroes die from their pretension. Ride on, ride on, ride on death riders. Take your dream out to the streets. Follow the road to sights unseen. Ride on into hell's heat.
Another color coded warning level blares from the TV. 400 million for the torture of an icon on the screen. It's overwhelming, zealots are all I see. It's overwhelming, mindfuck set down by decree. I don't give a fuck who saved your soul. I don't give a fuck who claims control. My life is mine and mine alone. I'm fed up with the false front of the pseudo spirituality. No more culture rape in the name of your morality. It's fucking sickening, these motherfuckers. It's fucking sickening, I've seen all I can stand. I don't give a fuck who saved your soul. I don't give a fuck who claims control. My life is mine and mine alone. I won't live my days in fear of false terror from above or the wrath of a vengeful god
Forget the quest for right or wrong ahead. American machine forges on and on. We never learned, we never could. To stand on our own and still help those left down below. We've got our right to safety, I've got my reason to hate. Greed is the machine. Complacency fuels their machine. Every time we buy our way into their promised dream. We're part of the machine. I've got a right to hope and I'll take it. I've got a right to health and I'll take it. I've got a right to truth and I'll take it. I've got my right.
Lay at death as you receive me, as the flames wrap round my toes. Won't hear a word about your reasons. Won't bear witness to your woes. Lived my days like I believe them. Strength of a man who knows more than sin. Burn my flesh and spread it even. Light the flame and slide me in. All my fucking life I've seen you stand from there and witness as I drift to death. You can save your prayers. You can save your funeral line for your time. All the fucking lies I've heard you stand up there and mutter. As I reach for hope your cross won't save. Man of god uses grief to sell his kingdom. At death I'll take the rails straight to hell. You can save your Interceptor.funeral line for your time. The sun, the light, the eyes. The dark, the pain, the fire. The love, the fear, the cries. The days and the nights of my life. It's all mine.
Another year drips down the drain and I'm sick from trying. One inch closer to the answers but I'm still the same. No love, no dream, no touch, no feeling, no hope for salvation. Puckered pigs as dignitaries fistfucked with money. Powersick parasitic fangs bared to feast. No pigs, no plea, no judge, no jury. No ego-powered delusion. I'm gone, I'm done this year has gone to my head. I need to find a safe place because I'm feeling lost in this world. I need to find a safe place. We're the casualty of apathy, eyes closed to everything. Safe at home in our indifference while the deaths keep rising. No god, no greed, no force, no freed, no military solution. Another term with nothing learned but disillusion and confusion. False reports from every front sustain American illusion. No change, no move, no truth, no news, no political revolution. I'm gone, I'm done this year has gone to my head. I need to find a safe place because I'm feeling lost in this world. I need to find a safe place
Not just the thought but the whole idea is fucked. Not just the pews they gotta sweep on to the city. God's plan be damned. Not just the church but the whole agenda. White religion be damned. Not just the fools but the fanatic right who kill for christ. Not just the our voice they gotta strip us of our choice. God's plan be damned, Religious legislation swipes our rights, spells hatred. God's plan be damned, undo the laws of man. You don't own me. God's plan be damned, undo the laws of man. White religion be damned.
Love is lifeless, leaves me with one hand on the ground and the other on my throat. Dearest lover, where have you gone? I can't find your face in this life. I can't find my place in this life. Dust, dust, turn to dust again. I got a secret everyone can see but me. It weighs on my chest and won't let me breathe. Dust, dust, turn to dust again
I'm sick of breathing carbon monoxide. My lungs are filled with fumes. I'm sick of seeing the side of me you see. The side I never let through. There's no air in this city, I need something pure. This voice is my only hope. These hands are my only escape. This my is locked inside this body that I've never recognized. Mirror looks back with eyes I've never seen. A face of a man that I don't want to know. There's no air in this city, I need something pure. This voice is my only hope. These hands are my only escape. This my is locked inside this body that I've never recognized.
I'm sick of breathing carbon monoxide. My lungs are filled with fumes. I'm sick of seeing the side of me you see. The side I never let through. There's no air in this city, I need something pure.

This my is locked inside this body that I've never recognized
God's blessed hands keep reaching for my fate. This holy body oozes all they'll ever need. Light of hope to guilt you through the pain. Turn your eyes away from me. Goddamn it, I've had it, don't want anymore of your faith
I've kept my eyes too long on the happiness of another time. I kept myself too long in safety of home where I can't escape. My mind is broken. I can't function. I fought this feeling my entire life. Is this my final chance to save myself from myself? The simple answer is it's all in my fucking head. I've painted myself as the martyr, as the motherfucker. The simple answer is it's in my fucking head. I'll brave the storm, I'll ride this wave to the end
With everyone I've ever known there's a turn in the road. A step inside the life we're told can give us home inside the rows. I'll never let them get to me. Take the fire from my dreams. I've seen them all fade away. Take their place, bear the reigns. I've burned the road that led us home. The ease of life I've never known. The fate of men. I'm trying to save myself from the fate of men. The fate of men. I'm trying to save myself from giving in. The city calls it's children out into the night to feed from the breast of silent seduction. The fate of men. I'm trying to save myself from the fate of men. The fate of men. I'm trying to save myself from giving in.
Ten years on. Every time the line rings I hear a death knell. A voice of darkness. Can't face the feeling. Their lives are ending. Double bolt the door. Wait out the night. Can't face the end alone. Can't hold the night at bay. Can't try to save myself. Can't bear the burden on my own. I fight the nightmares. Face down the fear or sleep through what's left of my life. Shadows fill the street. Sweat out the heat. Grasp the line. Wait out our time. Can't face the end alone. Can't hold the night at bay. Can't try to save myself. Can't bear the burden on my own. I can't bear this life unguided. I can't live to see you in the ground.
Is it fault or fate that I can't relate, my mind's impurities have left me empty. Don't want to be detached but I'm fucking lost. In my head, the things I can't control. Slave to the eyes I see. The enemy never leaves my sight. It's never ending, it's always wrong. It's never easy, It's always wrong. There's a battle in my head I know I'll never solve. It's never ending. I'm lost in a world of people I ant to love but can't stand a minute in their gaze. Night brings no relief, solitude for me. Close my eyes and dream of a life I'll never have. Where does it leave me? Fucked up and disenchanted. It's never ending, it's always wrong. It's never easy, It's always wrong. There's a battle in my head I know I'll never solve. It's never ending. Where's the life I dreamed?
Tonight's broadcast comes with flames on high. The tallies in reports, the latest lies. It's a sickening fucking game we play. Dehumanize the loss of life. Press conference comes with smug evasion. The eyes cast down in veiled apology but I;m not buying it. Dehumanize the loss of life
Never talk to me about sincerity, my hands are shaking. Never look to me for purity, my heart's forgotten. It's a dead end, the path we've followed down. It's a dead end. It's a dead end, everywhere I look around. It's a dead end. We're children of our own creation. Never hope to see real sincerity, my hopes are waning. Never disagree with false disparity, our hearts are failing. It's a dead end, the path we've followed down. It's a dead end. It's a dead end, everywhere I look around. It's a dead end. We're children of our own creation
Let's face facts. There won't be a happy ending. We're lost in life. I used to believe but now I just move on. I see you're still holding on. I'll burn out bright along the way. Let's turn back. Now the night's descending. I used to have faith but now I look away. I see you're still holding on. I'll burn out bright along the way
Baby, don't you leave me in this world alone
We'll go and see somebody
Who won't shake his head and moan
Doctors can do anything,
It is said, today
I'll do anything, I'll even pray
but don't you leave me alone like this
I couldn't stand it without your kiss
so don't go
Don't you go.
Well, there must be something
that will cure you true
Is there anything that I can do
I just can't stand it
without your living breath
but all that's left for us
Is your certain death
but baby don't you go
I couldn't face the world alone
so I'll follow you
I'll follow you.
To the ends of the mountains
I'll tread a path
just to hear once more
your fragrant laugh
I'll swim great rivers,
and I'll swim the seas
I'll do anything, anything to please
so well go together and face the things to come
I'm not afraid
Diving into prodigious landscape beyond experience
Stars have died in this desolate wasteland of infinity
Limits collide and shatter into endless parallels
Physical form has ceased to exist, only spirit without carrying form
Outside the form as the breath of howling winds and darkness
The world never appeared in reality nor even a wretched dream
Black holes open wide in between the galaxies unseen
The consciousness has escaped from its bounding walls
Open wide the gates to unreality...
Disappear into the waving stream...
Darkness as your guide..
