Hot Tears
02:09
|
|||
hot tears, hot tears
rolling down my face
I guess my pain has been replaced
by hot hot tears
hot hot tears
I don't got no fear
nowhere no way
all I gots a bucket of hot hot tears
on the way
hot tears, hot tears
it seems like everyday
i grow more ok with my fate
graceful disgrace
and an auto-da-fé on the way
I don't got no fear
nowhere no way
all I gots a bucket of hot hot tears
on the way

Go There
02:11
|
|||
I just wanna go there
go to the end of the street
see what's there to see
needlessly focus on the space
where the street and the sidewalk meet
it's got some curb appeal
but will it reveal
that which is vital
or will it just stifle what I have been trying to heal
I just really went there
went down the end of the road
where the hole in the wall kinda bar just closed
when a fire burns out
there ain't no crack of a whip
no it sorta just dips
when a fire burns out
there ain't no chiming of bells
it sorta just swells

Suffer
03:42
|
|||
I like to suffer
I like bad weather
I like getting choked out
wanna suffer forever
when it comes to my ego
I just don't wanna let go
I'm unerringly selfish
antlered and hellish
I wouldn't know what it means
to be ecstatic or serene
if the contrast wasn't stark
I like my exploding heart
I don't want nirvana
I just wanna
suffer forever
won't sever the tethers
no pristine cognition
I like repetition
but not like in heaven
I like my 5, 6 and 7s
I wouldn't know what it means
to be ecstatic or serene
if the contrast wasn't stark
I like my exploding heart

Symbols
04:22
|
|||
symbols tell stories that stories can't say
dark parts of our minds light up right away
you'll find them in movies you'll find them on cars
if you find them in smoothies you're looking too hard
an eye in a triangle is just lines on a page
so why does it provoke an impotent rage
cause there's something in there someone wants to say
some say it's the devil some say it's yahweh
oh they'll change you, lord knows they've changed me
symbols tell stories that stories can't say
dark parts of our minds light up right away
symbols of wealth, symbols of status
little cartoons inscribed on tabs of acid
symbol and image seem to appear
everywhere that I go year after year
I don't think that this trend is going to cease
so say what you will and be your own priest
oh they'll change you lord knows they've changed me

Beat Into You
01:55
|
|||
there's a certain way to be, so they say
I haven't found a rhythm I'd wanna play
I haven't found a rhythm I'd wanna play
haven't tapped one out on the table
authorities haven't called
distracting, unstable, unable to follow directions
there's a certain way to be, what's that mean?
haven't picked the wrist to slit it seems
no matter which you choose you fall asleep
with dreamless dreams
figure out what you wanna make or consume
haven't found a rhythm to beat into you
haven't found a sigil to burn in your back
grit teeth, it goes by fast if you relax
haven't found a rhythm to beat into you

Broken People
02:38
|
|||
I like broken people with wounded eyes
sunken faces sunglasses inside
people with an evil that's hard to define
though it hovers like a cloud so the sun don't shine
I like broken people with wounded eyes
unerring night terrors, frustrated cries
people who've been floored by a tragedy
or chipped away by everyday taking a tiny piece
I like sad sack suckers, widowed mothers
addicts too addled to find their keys
I liked my grandfather, he was an amputee
I like people injured in ways you can't see
I like people who can't look themselves in the mirror
the ones who've withdrawn out of sadness or fear
people going through a rough patch that soon will be over
or the ones whose desolation with take a lifetime to shoulder
the painfully shy, those who only hope to die
the poor ones whose only wish is for a satisfied mind
people with misaligned chakras whose hearts are shallow
people who really need to face their shadow
works in progress, the angry and raucous
masterpieces that'll never be complete
to all the broken people I've been thinking of
I even love the people I cannot unbreak with all my love
I like broken people with wounded eyes
sunken faces sunglasses at night
people who know words were invented to lie
broken people, broken people, me myself and I
I like broken people I know I don't need to fix them
just wish them well on their way and say
thank you just for existing

Cocaine
04:20
|
|||
everywhere I've been
every place I've seen
was seen in pursuit of cocaine
every car I drove
was a car I stole
to get on my way to sweet cocaine
let me know
if it's still on my face
wipe it on my sleeve
thank you please
this is why we'll be replaced
by machines
they don't care for those idle things
now I see the truth now I see it clear
for years and years
I washed my eyes in rivers of tears
all the choices I've made out of terrible fear
all I found at the bottom of that mountain of powder
was a cracked coke mirror
let me know
if it's still on my face
I'm so glad that part of my life is over
you know I'm 24 hours sober
why should I care for those idle things
cocaine

Fiery
03:12
|
|||
I'm hot and heavy, I'm the sun that's descending
gives me incentive to go different directions
what doesn't kill me, couldn't reveal me
and I look cool as ice but insides fiery
losing controls never been so contrived
court jester takes the assize
and everybody wants a little piece of my soul
soul music, rock n roll
Aleister Crowley couldn't show me
what I could do to be more fiery
ooo fiery
red jerry-can overflowing with fluid
at best you'll grow up to be a nuisance
at worst a Buddhist monk turned self-immolation husk
black leather jacket stinks of kerosene musk
rosy rosemary my brand new baby
has a devil in his eyes but insides fiery
and I'm blowing out my fuse
but I know that it's no use
just gotta keep it on the down low
I know that it won't show
If I let it go
I won't let it go
ooo fiery

Everybody Loves Her
03:10
|
|||
everybody loves her
everybody loves this girl
everybody loves her way
she's the kind of woman
just had to be made
cause no one this lovely's born this way
everybody loves her
everybody loves this girl
everybody loves her way
she's got a brand new haircut
she's got a brand new face
what's more
what's even more she's got a brand new name
everybody loves her
everybody loves this girl
everybody loves her way
she took one look at me
told me to kiss her ring
I got down on my knees and I did

Evil is Real
02:40
|
|||
evil is real
and it feeds on kindness
thinks never feels
evil is real
there's insects underneath
the perfectly manicured lawn
you're walking down the street
every face you'll ever see
will one day be gone
evil is real
and it feeds on kindness
thinks never feels
evil is real
evil originates
from the root of all evil
and it's transmitted by
it's transmitted mostly by people
evil is real
|
||||
11. |
||||
I'm so depressed
I don't know why I
don't just end it all
I'm so depressed
death is not the end
but it's my favorite part
my body starts to decay
my body starts to rot
I know what I am
I'm black and purple polka dots
I'm not afraid to say I'm goth
I'm defined by what I'm not
I'm goth

Living Proof
06:22
|
|||
a horror slid under my door
devoured a browning apple core
I was instructed to eat by a snake
that was guarding the garden gate
but you can only punch a mirror so long
'til your fist turns red and your face looks wrong
or you could write the ugliest song
but it don't matter and my patience is gone
can you smile through blindfold and noose
I'm living, I'm living proof
can you smile through bash and through bruise
I'm living, I'm living proof
you split me in half like a match
we lit 'em both up and you ate the ash
but the light never asks you to sign
your choices spill blood on the dotted line
and your attention is all that you got
sometimes it's so bright I wish it would stop
and you'll never make it out alive
but it's a life sentence if you don't try
can you smile through blindfold and noose
I'm living, I'm living proof
can you smile through bash and through bruise
I'm living, I'm living

A Bad Memory
04:45
|
|||
my synopses only contain
the parts before the rain
the parts before the tears
the idea drives me insane
I don't remember names and dates
I just remember how it felt
exposition complicates
don't get me started on mistakes
can someone say just who she is to me
it's just I have a bad memory
I'd walk down the smoky halls
to the belly of the beast
to the green room in the sky
where the angels dress and eat
and I'd look for absolution
in being totally seen
as I dedicate my focus
on descending hordes of locust
I get spat on and I get showered
in ridicule and with flowers
and I take each hit strong on the chin
but when it comes to shattered love
can't say who I'm thinking of
can someone say just who she is to me
it's just I have a bad memory
it's just I have a bad memory
