Destination All

Gilded, priceless
Tarnished silver spoon
Broken mirrors
Show too much too soon
Spirit drained
Ultraviolet
Flower petals say
This day will go
Down in infamy
Eyes were ablaze as I lit up the cathedral
I was alive in the house of God
I'm praying they'll send me some money
From the land of the milk and the honey
Pull me through white shadow
Black and blue and yellow
I don't believe in faith, yet
Open freeway
Destination all
Stargate pavement
Revelation all
Moon set tomorrow
Sun death will follow
Time we will borrow
In disguise
I was your enemy
I was your saint
I was your fated martyr
You never knew you needed me
'Til I went away
Locked in chains
Playing God

Without A Word
03:33
|

Mind unbent and ready
Sprawled on slate he bears a grin
Finally free of treading down this
Old passive pile of men, who let you in
With your tender eyes of sunlight
Comes a violent race
Until someone's found in blood
Without a word in their mouth
Word in their mouth
Word in their mouth
Deaf to cries of rapture
Sold out on empathy
If only the pile would end
But the hogs haven't hair on their chin
So they've been burned by the fire again
And let you in
This inferno, worthless limelight
Such a vibrant taste
Until someone's found in blood
Without a word in their mouth
Word in their mouth
Word in their mouth

Come Around
03:48

Lately I've been asleep
As the natives get restless and the villagers creep
Galvanized, victimized people
Umbilical mass of one
When you walk on your waterfall
I would've seen it all
Your grace and your vision of hope
When you're caught up on what she said
There's truth in the riverbed
Lying on aqueous ground
I'm begging you to just come around
Just come around
Lightning beneath the sheets
Electrifies the martyrs
And shocks the system clean
Someone should give it a label
A label that will sell
Turn it into a fable
That time will never tell
When you walk on your waterfall
I would've seen it all
Your grace and your vision of hope
When you're caught up on what she said
There's truth in the riverbed
Lying on aqueous ground
I'm begging you to just come around
Just come around
When you're caught up on what she said
And you know that you'd rather be dead
When the past becomes the present day
I'll pick myself a better way
I'm begging you to just come around

Drowning Flowers

I am your hammer and sickle
You are my loaded swastika
We made love like gas to a fire
We had sex in the street
To the sound of the mainstream beat
A military drum machine
I took a crack at the mirror
I couldn't see my face anymore
I drew in my own reflection
But I'll never admit that the glory days are behind me
But here we go again
With a double helix in the fountainhead
Drowning flowers in the garden bed
A shot of venom to the newlywed
Will shave this mountain down into a molehill
And allow all of the ghosts to dance again
Your viewership is flying
Round every local tragedy
The load was getting just a little too heavy
So I threw myself overboard
And shot myself out
With a double helix in the fountainhead
Drowning flowers in the garden bed
A shot of venom to the newlywed
Will shave this mountain down into a molehill
And allow all of the ghosts to dance again
Allow all of the ghosts to dance again
Into the fog

Sandbox
03:45
|

|
Waking cries
Last chance in line
Embracing land we sold
Aching eyes
This sand so fine
In days, weak hands erode
Let me in
Take these entities
Take it all from me
Daft and reckless
From my window
I see the sandbox
Can hyptnotize
Same ol' grind
Her mind deciphers
Every grand design
Let me in
You and me went four for three
A sacrificial entity
Built a black sand beach
Threw it in the street
Shells and marbles
Just a waste of time
You strung me up
Just to paralyze

Walk On By
04:20

Are You gonna walk on by me
And change my world again
Like all the other people that come and go
will you light me up then blow me out?
Are you gonna walk on by me
Or stay awhile
I never knew a Monday stranger
Could make me smile the way that you do
Although it seems like I don't have much to give
Like a prayer book would to a heretic
I hear the streets relay all the messages
That the prophet would kill to know
Are you gonna walk on by me
And change my world again
You brought me into an Arctic Summer
Where I froze to death, then melted away
Are you gonna walk on by me
Or stay awhile
Blonde Hair, blue eyes, and the face of an angel
Now my heart is put on trial
Although it seems like I don't have much to give
Like a prayer book would to a heretic
I hear the streets relay all the messages
That the prophet would kill to know
And though I live on a bed of newspaper
The headlines read 'America'
And though I planted the seeds for the rich mans bloom
The profit refused to grow

Boogie Man

Cave in to a social disease
Righteous believers coming for me
Justice seems to be just
A badge for the ego
A tired wanderlust
I've been looking for you
You're out there in the marshland
Gunning for the truth
Maybe someday you'll see
The truth is right between the eyes
As blind as it may be
So come on, take off that halo
You know that you're not fooling me
You take me under your wing but won't fly
And I can't decide how to get you high
Pride is the gift of salvation
Passed as a sign of the times
We must disarm the boogie man
And find another way
Jump from your ivory tower
And break through the ground at your feet
I've said time and time again
If you kill off all of your enemies
You kill off all of your friends
Justice seems to be just
A reason to abuse those
Who aren't quick to trust
So come on, take off that halo
You know that you're not fooling me
You take me under your wing but won't fly
And I can't decide how to get you high
Pride is the gift of salvation
Passed as a sign of the times
We must disarm the boogie man
And find another way
Jump from your ivory tower
And break through the ground at your feet

Tower
04:49
|

Be careful with how you cut ties
In a tower made of twine
Sometimes the pathway that you open will unwind
Back to the ravel left behind
Climbing up the giants lower back
Take a little nibble at her spine
Watch the beating of the centerfold
Balling out the fringes of her mind
Can it be?
The tower stands inside of me?
Careful not to be there when it crumbles
Can it feed?
Suicidal Infancy?
Careful not to be there when it swallows you whole
You hole.
Digging like a mole through a minefield
Just biding my time
The knowledge from the creases
Blows my mind to pieces
I made a medley of the Siren's songs
I made an enemy of love
I caught a feeling that was high above
I'm addicted to the consequence

Stay This Time
04:44
|

|
We built a fortress here inside
Something to keep up from the light
The walls came down on me and broke you out
The chains around my legs still hold me down
But if you wait this time you'll feel
Like every word you ever spoke
Was cold as steel
If you stay this time you'll feel
Like everyone you've ever loved
Is here with me
We'll never leave
I'm living through this storied ride
Now I've been through a thousand nights
A whisper heals my voice and helps me move
A taste that keeps my mind so far from truth
But if you wait this time you'll feel
Like every word you ever spoke
Was cold as steel
If you stay this time you'll feel
Like everyone you've ever loved
Is here with me
We'll never leave
I wont be waiting long tho time moves slow
How cursed can things become as I grow old
I know this thing we lost was far from stone, when it faded
But if you wait this time you'll feel
Like every word you ever spoke
Was cold as steel
If you stay this time you'll feel
Like everyone you've ever loved
Is here with me
We'll never leave
So won't you wait this time?

Flat Moon
06:11
|

When I was young I told myself
I would not change for anyone
But maybe if someone came along
To prove me wrong
I'd write this song and I'd believe
That there's a grand conspiracy
Flat moon is the surface of my dreams
Flat moon (Eyes of Osiris)
Flat Moon (Holy papyrus)
Flat Moon (Unfolded again)
Cut by the razor's edge
I still pledge
I was a fool to think that you
Would be the one to change my mind
But maybe if someone comes along
To prove you wrong
You'd hear this song and you'd believe
That there's a grand conspiracy
Flat moon is the surface of my dreams
Flat moon (Eyes of Osiris)
Flat Moon (Holy papyrus)
Flat Moon (Unfolded again)
Cut by the razor's edge
I still pledge
So prove me wrong and I'll believe
That there is no conspiracy
Flat moon has been shredded by the Plebs
Flat moon is the hay amongst the thieves
Flat moon is the surface of my dreams
