Sunshine & Gasoline
05:34
|
|||
I never wanted to be anything
I only wanted to be happy
So I'd fill the hole inside me
I'd bury all my feelings
Nothing on the horizon
A tank of gas and an empty street
No one to tell me
How I should be feeling
Rainbows in a sunbeam
Or a rainbow in gasoline?
If we could live forever
Could we get it together
If we could live forever
Would we sink down even further
Like rainbows in sunbeams
Or rainbows in gasoline
In the sunshine, I don't even care why
You don't own anything
You don't owe me anything
I told you this time
Won't be like the last time
You don't own anything
You don't owe me anything
I've been possessed
By all my possessions
Compulsively obsessed
A wind with no direction
If heaven exists
It's begging the question
Where would we all fit
Am I failing to mention
I've been seeing red
Blood filled my eyes
I thought I was dead
Where have I been
Drank up but it consumed me instead
God I have lost my way
God I have lost my faith
God I know I don't believe
But I am begging on my knees
I don't relate to you anymore
I'll put my faith in you, you'll let me down
I can't relate to you, I'll let you down
Yeah, I'll put my faith in you
Don't let me down
Fleeting as a rainbow in a sunbeam
Volatile like we were gasoline
This time won't be like last time
That's what I said last time

Firewalk With Me
02:15
|
|||
I've been so paranoid
It's been making me sick
I have these thoughts of suicide
And a lust for death
Empty like a bullethole
Living life A to B
I'm already dead inside
If I hate to be me
I've been so devoid
Like a hole in the head
There's been too much noise
And it's made me deaf
Why should I be what you want?
When I could just be me
Why should I take all your shit
And let hate spread its seeds
Firewalk with me
On and on, forever
Firewalk with me
You're hazardous, you trip me up
I'll bide my time
I'll bite my tongue
I'll hold my peace
Firewalk with me
On and on forever
Firewalk with me
You're hazardous, you trip me up

Man's Laughter
02:51
|
|||
Kiss my cheek as he breaks my teeth
Wink at me as he blacks my eyes
Hold my hand as I get stabbed
Flying on wax wings
Say you have my back
But you're so two-faced
If the weather changed
You would walk away
Whispering sweet nothings
As he screams at me
"I'll break you in half, faggot"
Hate to say I told you so
I thought it was sticks and stones
But you let your ego show right through
So cool
Swollen black and blue
So tough
Beat me up when we fuck
Nevermind the backseat
I want you in front when we're crashing
It's getting so hot in the engine
Nuh-uh, no brakes please
Plow into another tree
So does it make a sound
If no one can see?
Manslaughter? Man's laughter, ha
I am intolerant to your intolerance
You can hate me
I'll kill you with kindness
Because this life is just a sacrifice
Why waste my energy on you
When you're just gonna die?
You won't take me alive, no
You won't take me alive, no
You won't take me alive, no
You won't take me alive, no

Earth Alien

Cold blooded
Alternating colours between black & white
You have me feelings ways like
Cold blooded
Alternating colours between black & white
Yeah I've been feelings ways like
Come in! Door's open
To a bottomless pit
Beneath black clouds, but the beat loud
I don't care now, let it rain down
I was lost, but I've been found
I fell down, but I hit ground
With Rome burnt, and the world turnt
Have we learned what we were?
Salted earth, skin sunburned
All once lost, now unearthed
Stone cold
Like a pillar of concrete
Stone cold
I've been chewing on concrete
Can't trust what you say
Because I know that you talk shit
You have shown your fangs
Black mamba levels of toxic
If it all falls down again
I'll be there to catch you
And if it all comes to a head, I'll behead it
Yeah, I had black clouds inside my veins
In my heart and my soul
I was pulled apart
Limb by limb by limb by limb
In my room
I'm breathing fumes, it's so toxic
Stone cold
I've been chewing on concrete

Like Air
02:22
|
|||
I'd slow down
But it's too fast, I can't catch you
I'd slow down
But the world won't wait
(No the world won't wait)
You're a ghost, but I still see you everywhere
Put up walls, you phase through like air
Try to sleep
And you haunt my dreams
Like air
There's nothing there
That I can see, that I believe
Looking back, twenty twenty
Moving past too too many
Like air, I won't let you in
Like air, there's nothing there
Born again
A second wind
The transparent
Transplanted in
I hold my breath
Until I am fermented by the oxygen
Like air, you can't get to me
I exist anaerobically
Like air, you can't get to me
It's all alright, it's all alright
I'd let you (w)in
But I would lose my second wind
Since I've been
Born again like I'm on my deathbed
I'm born again
Like air

Chalkboard Cock
02:10
|
|||
With everything said, my head is [ ]
Wished you were dead
Said things I never meant
Abandoned language
No conversations distort belief
This is too much for me
We got serious too quickly
The season’s changing
And summer’s fading
The leaves are bloodstained
Trees stripping naked
They all fall down
You won't be the one
That saves me from myself
By the time the leaves fall down
I'll already be gone
Bloodstained leaves and needles rusty
It all falls down, it all falls down
It was romantic in my head
When I said I want to save you
Daydreaming, head in the clouds
Sitting in the sun, inside-out
Cock drawn in chalk at the front of the class

And The Band Played On
02:12
|
|||
Thoughtless, headfirst into the shark nest
I see nothing
Breathless nosedive into the blue depth
Hopeless we sink like a shipwreck
Heartless soul black as this abyssal death
It's sinking in
Left no particle in the waves
David's stone vs. Goliath's face
Guest of honour at the pity party
Best man at a shotgun wedding
I just keep on forgetting
I just keep on forgetting
Scrape the sky made of ivory
From here to eternity
I can't keep on pretending
I can't keep on pretending
Devils white and the magic black
Open casket after death
This wasn't meant for you
This wasn't meant for me
Fucked up and glorified
Stigmatized like Jesus Christ
My ticket to heaven is too expensive
Why oh why oh why do we have to die?

Hesitation Cuts
03:06
|
|||
You gotta let the dead go
Before the bodies decompose
Five feet beneath the topsoil
Where the green grass grows
Hang your head like a black cloud
Hold it over everyone
Like a loaded gun
And you wonder why
No one wants you around
You made me sick
You wanted me sick
You made me sick
You wanted me
Fucked up all the time
Can't profit off me
If I'm happy with my strife
Won't fight your war
So what good is my life to you?
My mind to you?
My plight for you?
Gas me up, I've been around the block
All your obsessions
And worldly possessions
Die with you
Now you've made your confessions
Do your demonic possessions
Die with you?
Won't hesitate to cut you out
There is no escape
Only time is left to waste
Hate to break your heart
Love has been possessing us

Chemical Reaction
04:03
|
|||
Like a stump with the heart rot
Like a gold tooth with the black spots
Like a fruit tree with the fire blight
When I spill my guts it's like
Insides to the outside
By the skin of my teeth, will I ever be at peace?
Need an exorcist for all my demons
Cuz when I sleep I been seeing 'em
Hosanna, light me up
Am I a witch or your saviour?
Excommunicated, pitchforks raised
Your scapegoat at the stake
You'd light a blaze to fight a flame
Think a man better off dead
Wouldn't love life with a gun to his head
Wouldn't find god even on his deathbed
Spends all his time playing Russian roulette
Never could change so he just pretend
No apologies, so he leave dead ends
Closer than he thinks with the way he live
Prometheus: every day, same old shit
I can't stand around and watch
The nerves you touch are still too raw
And I can't stand around and watch
The nerves you touch are still too raw
It's just a chemical reaction
This love we have
Was just a chemical reaction
This love we had
It's just a chemical reaction
This love we have
Was just a chemical reaction
This love we had
Take your time away
Just don't take my time away
Take your time
Don't take my time

Ruins of Time
03:44
|
|||
With our wings in flames we curse the rain
'Til our ashes flood our shallow graves
I've been waiting
To be someone that I'm not
To be somewhere I don't belong
Why waste time walking backward?
Can't change the past
So the future's a waste
Why waste time walking backwards
Repeat every mistake
And you still won't change
With our wings in flames
We live in a ruin of time
We've been ruined by time
Our impatience got the best of us
Craving a fast life
Even if we die tonight
Eternity feels like the blink of an eye

Possessed
03:43
|

I smile when you judge me
For sleeping on the floor
I smile when you laugh
As I trip and fall over
My own two feet
You kiss me goodnight
Tuck me in tight
Call it a dream
Famine cloaked in the dead of night
I turn off the light because I'm ashamed
When you witness me
Raw, bruised and nose bleeding
Boxspring
I'll bounce back
We're stuck in the past
Frontspin
Always looking back
This going won't last
Fingertrap
The more I pull
The more you push back
Blackhole
The closer I get
The less the distance gives me back
We're here now
What of everything ahead?
Funny how precious time and space truly are
Insulated, snowed in, cabin fever sets in eventually
We're meant to be free
Divorced from disbelief
This is becoming my language
The echo chamber repeats
The parrot says in mockery,
“A horse of this belief"
If this a conquest
Do not inundate my soul with your beliefs
If this is war
Let it be fought clean
Don't want to open my eyes just yet
So it's darkness, my friend
Staring at my eyelids
'Til a new day’s set ablaze
Right now I could use the sleep
I should be back, eventually
But if I hear death is here for my heartbeat
Would I accept defeat? well
I never could say no
Guess I'm better off dead to you
But I'm better off now without you

Stupid Limbs
01:53
|
|||
Stupid limbs can't get off the ground
I'm living with my head in the clouds
Anchored feet can't hold me down, oh no
Pigs fly
And I'll go wherever the wind blows
Ebb and flow wherever the waves go
On my own
If I had wings I'd fly away
If I had keys I'd escape my cage
Gotta get up
'Cause I been down
Gotta gotta get up
'Cause I 'cause I been down
Gotta gotta get up get up
'Cause I 'cause I been down been down
Wish I had wings

Lightning Strikes Twice
02:18
|
|||
Up in the air about to fly away
To the stratosphere breaching outer space
Breathe, asphyxiate, alienate
Can't wait to leave this plane of existence
Strayed so close to you
I'm in your orbit
Spinning around
And around and around
I'd rather be like the wind
Than get so carried away
And like the cracks in cement
We aren't the same as we were
You made me feel alive again
I killed you every time I said
That I wish we had never met
It was never meant
Feet off the ground, you can't take me down
Head in the clouds where I can't be found
If I let you go, you can't let me down
If I'm this high
I'll fly
