Learn To Swim
03:22
|
|||
Your well being
was my top cause
always
well not this day
no, I'm finished
living no life
Running from my old self
and fearing every second
This must be the end of it
The bridge is out ahead
Drowning is easy
but I could learn to swim?

Peacocks' Way Of Life
03:25
|
|||
Race.. I only won a race
will you tell me now
that I'm famous now?
But my life, I only want my life
you can give it back
I'm off the dope you know
Fake, I'm saying this is fake
these glorifying times
are peacocks' way of life
But this break, I need this little break
from everything that's cold
and artificially...
Put up
to lull me to sleep
keeping me content still
Breaking me and forcing death
This life is no life at all
Deep in my head is joy
a lot of bright light and colors
This sunshine
will kill me
and thrill me
'till the end
of my time
My moonlight
will save me
and teach me
to sleep and be good

Spare Me
05:25
|
|||
Inside you see faces
Inside you're empty
Inside you fear faces
Inside you feel empty
Spare me some
you know you wouldn't miss it at all
Inside you preaching 'bout your own world
own world
Inside the breaches are your own
|
||||

||||
Rusty building walls
splattered with the lust
of the homeless man
In an orange box
lies his only link
to his former life
Manic obsession and
pure self oppression
the verdict says guilty
and he's feeling filthy
It's all getting banned
and dug down in the sand
the ocean will eat it
and he'll be defeated
Hell all the way through
and nothing we can do
The jury has spoken
it's all they can do, see?
|
||||

My Rain Show
03:38
|
|||
Darkness covering leaves
is getting on my nerves
pure rage in an orange disguise
Losing all my hope
and breaking empty rooms
All just in a fit of rage
Here we have my show
It is my rain show?
I don't know?
This is all I do
It's just my rain show
Don't you know?
Everyone is in luck
I feel it in my toes
All the way up my spinal cord
Entering my brain
The notion: It's just me
who's lost in a trail of hate
|

Dead Ringer
03:40
|
|||
Dead ringer in the ground
string attached to her toe
right up to the surface
where it sounds a rusty bell
He is working graveyard shifts
listening all night long
for that eerie, rusty bell
indicating life below
They burried her way too soon
No breath or heartbeat
but she still wanted more.
Saved by the merciful bell of life
Her nails will still be pretty tomorrow
|

Bright Side Upwards
02:56
|
|||
Embracing this failed exsistance
Wondering when life will turn its
bright side upwards and
show me its light, its real face
This is all that I know
I really can't show
how much I despise all of you
I am going to break
and rot in this place
if I don't find another way
Life and death is the same
and so is this state
of constant doubt and paranoia
Change is all that it takes
to rid me of hell
- Have to figure something out soon

Fake Brakes
02:44
|
|||
I get through my day
by sleeping
and mourning the loss of creativity
That is my way of coping
with nothing at all
Every little gesture
is acting
Faking my way into the heart of man
Thank god I have my brakes now
or else I'd be in trouble
Everyone is taking an interest
in lurking on all that is and ever will
be mine and only mine, not for you guys
at all
I can hardly tell you how much I regret
Cheating you all
|

Care
03:10
|
|||
All work is done
I can now go home and play
with the notes and the same
old things
This state won't change
It's a crazy frame of mind
that we love and mourn
When it's gone
In a while
I will be lost
Trapped inside my head forever
But it's fun
Roaming this place
I am all alone
Loneliness runs wild
And I wonder just a bit
Will it end, will it win
Don't care
As long as I have this
I am just as I should be
I love I mourn
I care
Same for everyone
Same for everyone
But I dare you to
break out of this
life on earth

Selfish Rat
03:39
|
|||
I'm not ready to let go
I'd rather stay at home
to leave my worries there
and help you
cope with the love that isn't here
it's staring to appear
in the places no one knows
let me find them
selfishness is dwelling in itself
rolling up the hill
speeding through her life
and leaving her to rot
when you let it go
I'm sure that it will show
that life is more than that
we can fight it
we're all ready to let go
and let this sucker flow
way down in the drain
to drown there
Really now should't we abide
and do just what they say
that's how it's always been
around here
No we will do this on our own
the damage's way too big
we cannot let this slide
one more time
After this we'll all be free to roam
the places that we miss
and feelings never felt before this
hell came
Hey you
are we sat free
from this world
The moon will shine
so bright
till we find our way
Dear one
are you affraid
of this pact
I can tell you
there's no need to be
I'm not
Selfish rat
stealing lives
drinking black
water
to become

Stilletto
04:12
|
|||
There's the place, we're here.
Pack up your stuff we are going out.
Look, now here is light
Not like home, something else about this place
makes it all worthwhile
I'm gonna thrive here
And live in the palm springs I've dreamt about
Can't you allow me?
To be in the face of the earth
I'll be content
Don't you
wish me
well now
I am gone?
Endless race 'gainst my life,
path is gone
Loosing my breath
'cause of
chaotic states
This here place is mine
It's in my hands, not yours
You could be my baby brother
and no you would still not get a thing
Forgive me, I need it
I thinking of keeping this
All to myself
I'm gonna thrive here
And live in the palm springs I've dreamt about
Can't you allow me?
To be in the face of the earth
I'll be content
Don't you
wish me
well now
I am gone?

You Are The Moon
03:40
|
|||
Moon, I'll be watching over you
In the sky our eyes will meet
and fail to see
This little time we had has come
to an end and all is well
nothing has changed
You are the moon and I'm a man
it's not right it's plain to see
I'll stay right here
Save you from breath
and you'll save me from all the things
Darkness, time to stop
The are the moon

40 Miles
03:06
|
|||
Trembling over spilt milk
In the light of the sun
Burning in the desert
Snakes and the lizards
wanting to meet you
See you and feel you
Hear you and then just
crawl away...
There's my way
I see the road ahead now
And in my eyes
shine pride.
Piece of junk
a rotten '62 Ford, I'll
leave you here to die
in this misty heat.
Your raditors' broken
2 tires are flat
only got your own 2 legs now
You'll get pretty thirsty
real quick I think
You just keep on walking
40 miles up the road
you will get a surprise
a dusty old sign saying:
"Fool, you're walking in circles!"
There's my way
I see the road ahead now
And in my eyes
shine pride
Piece of junk
a rotten '62 Ford, I'll
leave you here to die
In this misty heat

Don't know what you're bringing
and I sure as hell don't want it
my prejudice will allow me to wave you right off
my back, close...
All these eyes are staring
trying to define my person
Sell me your soul and I will call it quit, kid
I'll see you tomorrow
In this place I'm burning due to
radiation damage
Working hazard
In this boneyard
These raindrops drive me insane
And now for what cause?
These deadringers aren't too bright
lets get out now
Now you brought me something
I can go away, I thank you
this little gadget will bring me the freedom
i need to do this
Tripping over guilt and
failing at the most important
He's here She's there
Sit still
You both gonna make it v
Constantly evolving and now
soon to be disaster?
We're all mad here
Let's just face it
Boneyard Your burning eyes radiate
glowing in the dusk light
Dear one For every dime that it's worth
Please do, Just have patience

Death Defying Scorch
03:52
|
|||
I will scorch my lungs
just as much as I feel like
Chugging down booze in the
amount that just seems right
Never ever stop to think;
"maybe this could end my turn"
Riding a wave
Till it breaks and leaves me drowning
Knocking on my door
Noone's ever out this late
Death is too close
And he wants to get aquianted
Everything is starting to crash
mornings are grey
and daylight dim
puffing away
at what seems to be my end
Death defying scorch
Turning my mind into a mess
Closer than I thought
Quit while ahead
it's logical

Down In My Hole
05:21
|
|||
Am I ready? Decomposing
mushrooms in my head.
Always rotting, self assuring
clichés, in this hole
Feeling better, well not today
maybe come winter
Light is getting so much darker
fuzzy and missing
Ain't this just so much fun?
down in my hole
I will always stay the same
and anyone up there
oh you're fucked
you don't even know
down in my hole
I will never lose control
you can try to remove it
but I, I won't, ever let go
down in my hole
my feet are always sore and dry
but nothing can help me and
you better watch, watch your own hole
down in my hole
I will never give up this
I'm perfectly fine here and
nothing will help, help change my mind.

Rain Inside My Brain
01:52
|
|||
Rain inside my brain there is no gain
Pictures tumble 'round and up and down
Rain soaking my coat
Sun scorching my skin
Streets are overflowing with decay
Sky is black and blue plus urban grey
Rain soaking my coat
Sun scorching my skin
Evil eyes are watching over me
I just turn my back and walk away
|

Spiteful Fever
03:36
|
|||
Lie
Run
Cry
Far
Guilt is a tool
So is a pitchfork
It's all you had
To keep me leashed
I will not abuse
but then one day
maybe I'll fold
and tell you this
you broke my will(wings)
Funny how it's hard
to set the line
and be true
to my heart and soul
feeling so damn (c)old
Blackened heart
and spitefull fever
getting smarter
maybe better
at this life
stupid ants are
playing their marbles
|

Come here now, take a rest
Come lay next to me, friend
and I'll say what I mean
Just keep up with my thoughts
You're falling off the van again
Door shut and locked tight
My dear man, you're a mess
I keep going on like this
You just have to amount
Can't you tell I'm dying?
Man, you're blind I see.
Won't you be my savoir?
Pull my strings and bring me home
This life won't last long
Picking at my naked bones
Falcon eye and mole sight
Failing where it means the most
Don't go inside
Don't go outside

Old Harbour
04:00
|
|||
Are we going to Old Harbor tonight?
They've got cheap fish and redwine,
moon's bright tonight, (let's go)
I'm gonna go there, no doubt about it.
It's gonna be moonlit and pretty,
and the good folks in the stands, won't bother us if you come
they
realize that I'm
their friend
faulty pretends
will lead to me
getting what I want now
They have
got no teeth
and they cannot see.
Raggedy clothes
and a smile for free
We are all pals here
We are going to Old Harbour tonight
Not to smile but to
abuse their trust
It's all you ever want to do
