Tar is modified pitch produced primarily from the wood and roots of pine by destructive distillation under pyrolysis. Production and trade in tar was a major contributor in the economies of Northern Europe and Colonial America. Its main use was in preserving wooden vessels against rot. The largest user was the Royal Navy. Demand for tar declined with the advent of iron and steel ships.
Tar-like products can also be produced from other forms of organic matter such as peat. Mineral products resembling tar can be produced from fossil hydrocarbons including petroleum. Coal tar is produced from coal as a byproduct of coke production. Bitumen is a term used for natural deposits of oil "tar" – such as at the La Brea Tar Pits.
In Northern Europe, the word "tar" refers primarily to a substance that is derived from the wood and roots of pine. In earlier times it was often used as a water repellent coating for boats, ships, and roofs. It is still used as an additive in the flavoring of candy, alcohol and other foods. Wood tar is microbicidal and has a pleasant odor – a sweet musky scent much like that of barbecue. Producing tar from wood was known in ancient Greece, and has probably been used in Scandinavia since the Iron Age. For centuries, dating back at least to the 14th century, tar was among Sweden's most important exports. Sweden exported 13,000 barrels of tar in 1615 and 227,000 barrels in the peak year of 1863. Production nearly stopped in the early 20th century, when other chemicals replaced tar and wooden ships were replaced by steel ships.

The purity of silk within a soul. But where's the fun in that?
Somewhere beneath all that spotless control, I smell a rat.
You say no thanks' I'll abstain,
As somewhere deeply you drool.
So ask yourself once again. Who exactly to you fool?
I don't keep your secrets, I won't tell your lies,
I won't close my, Mouth or my thighs,
I don't share your interests, I don't have your charms,
I prefer the less subtle, Causes for alarm.
Sleep soundly with every drop of your sick beliefs.
While I scream though the night and suck it's vast receipts.
So are you happy in your hole,
Where everyone needs your help?
So much time spent bringing aid to the weak,
You haven't strengthened yourself.
What I see within your actions.
Your misguided instructions,
Something rotting, a sad distraction,
And absolute destruction.
I don't keep your secrets, I won't tell your lies,
I won't close my, Mouth or my thighs,
I don't share your interests, I don't have your charms,
I prefer the less subtle, Causes for alarm.
No savior, no salvation, no excuses for me.
Every breath of life is precious,
No acceptance or surrender sacrifice for belief,
I have found life far too precious.
I don't keep your secrets, I won't tell your lies,
I won't close my, Mouth or my thighs,
I don't share your interests, I don't have your charms,
I prefer the less subtle, Causes for alarm.
If you are pure as driven snow, then I am happily tar.
Gentleness is worn and battered
She smells of cigarettes
She knows how many times before, he's been shattered
But she hasn't gave up yet
But she hasn't gave up yet
But she hasn't gave up yet
But she hasn't gave up yet
Would you tear me up
Would you tear me all apart
Would you tear me up
Would you rip me all apart
To get to the bottom of the truth
To get to the bottom of the truth
To get to the bottom of the truth
To get to the bottom of the truth
I told you
Sacred altar's on it's last leg
She knows that it's not all
She's held there by that ruthless pig
But she's not afraid to fall
But she's not afraid to fall
But she's not afraid to fall
But she's not afraid to fall
Would you tear me up
Would you rip me all to shreds
Would you tear me up
Would you cut me right in half
To get to the bottom of the truth
To get to the bottom of the truth
To get to the bottom of the true truth
To get to the bottom of the truth

Take hold of my mind
Capture my soul
Eternal peace
Forever stoned
Burning black tar
now i know how he
got caught up in the junk
my god it helps, it helps
comfort forgiving
everything ever done
and ever will, my will
why don't god come down and
swim in the tar with me
see if you make it out
your son walks on water
can you tread it with me?
i don't think you know how
i am so tired i am
shaking but i know that
i'll get no sleep tonight, tonight
squatting mad with these
alkaline confessions
dripping from my head, liquid
open up my heart and
pour the fuel right in
just before it stops, it stops
downhill like an engine
fire stall kick fire before
plowing dead into sand, insane
