1. ANTISAINT

Visit again white elephant
Who sent you to loom?
Shall we sever everything?
Ponder this while we ponder why.

He's starting to follow crows,
And climbing the ladder somewhere out to,
Really begin to scare,
And plotting to cover the ground with a fight.

You poor little antisaint.
You poor little antisaint.

Nothing to say for the last time.
Just want to sink his will.
Like a predator's prey in the cold,
Slowly starts to show.

Assurance is what we need.
Hold the lion until it's fed.
It's still only morning,
But the fly's surfaced.

You poor little antisaint.
You poor little antisaint.
You poor little antisaint.
You poor little antisaint.

The stakes are too low.
We may not need any.
Could we never feel?
And if you could tell,
The cleverest acting,
Was the lying by you,
Lying by you,
Lying by you?

You poor little antisaint.
You poor little antisaint.
You poor little antisaint.
You poor little antisaint.


2. JARS

Hold onto chance
Lest we bleed ourselves
Save for the pets
They’re the loneliest

Put into jars
We’ll save this earth
Put into jars
We’ll save this earth

We can’t both become the same pawn
That's made to fall
Oil that tastes like
Blood stole the summer scent
From me to you
You're stabbing me through you
You're stabbing you through him
And betting most of
This world
We’ll add enough of the world

Steal from yourselves
It never felt so good
And feed from their hand
Confuse by opposites

Put into jars
We’ll save this earth
Put into jars
Keep safe this earth

Feeling manic for a day
Depends on the trend
Depends on the surface
If the sun never sets

This world
We’ll add enough of the world
Is the main thing you’ll shout
Till the bitter end

Into jars


3. SLEEPWALKING ELITE

Rushed and told
Their bred to continually
Be at their marks
But some withhold
And wont be held
Under the spell

Bribes when tried
They focused on the balling
Of the men to know
God left inside underbelly's choke

When you assumed
At least they'll call us
Men again
For those shadows
Lets keep on crawling
Out from under cloaks

Behold rest assured
The sleep walking elite
When their days
Are numbered like the shallow
When they sit
On their knees
On their knees
On their knees
As they sit
On their knees
On their knees
On their knees

And you assumed
At least they'll call us
Men again
For those shadows
Lets keep on crawling
Out from under cloaks

The Cloaks

When you assumed
At least they'll call us
Men again
For those shadows
Lets keep on crawling
Out from under

When you assumed
At least they'll call us
Men again
For those shadows
Lets keep on crawling
Out from under...


4. THE CLINCHER

Touch!

I'll stand for nothing less
Or never stand again
These are the limits when one's buried
This body's left the soul

Could we have known
Never would I, helped to nail down

Careful of drifting off
Now losing taste and touch
Turning a pale blue leaning in to say
This body's left the soul
The brain needs oxygen
Can't sneak around this bait
His catacomb has got me by the chin
This body's left the soul

Could we have known
Never would I, helped to nail down
With nothing to gain, here's the clincher
This should be you
No sad charade
No sad charade
No sad charade
No sad charade
And touch
No sad charade
No sad charade
No sad charade
The Earth
No sad charade
No sad charade
No sad charade
No sad charade
The Earth

Well could we have known
Never would I, helped to nail down
(I'll stand for nothing less)
With nothing to gain, here's the clincher
This should be you
(Made cold and crippled)
This happened to be never changing
Holding inside
(Or never stand again)
The phobia viewed
Made cold and crippled
Ending it all

No sad charade
No sad charade
No sad charade
No sad charade
The Earth
No sad charade
No sad charade
No sad charade


5. SHAMEFULL METAPHORS

Fear
It's all the same
Should I evolve
To tend to these sights
Said out loud then said again
If fate's so wrong
You'll start to feel lightheaded
By my admission, nothing grows
Just a longer list of unsorted laws

So why then
Has all my life made no sound
And are your eyes
Closing even now
My life made no sound
I fear your eyes closing

Revolting man
This sacred chain
Brought down to trial
No better man could fail the way
You needed all
Keep close the vein of empty
Thoughts

The finest river,
The ravens tend
All along insisting
We're worlds away

So why then
Has all my life made no sound
And are your eyes
Closing even now
My life made no sound
I fear your eyes closing

Behold the lost
Behold a Band-aid

Behold the lost
Behold a Band-aid

These shameful metaphors
Fought it through the teeth

Shameful metaphors
Biting at your heels

Shameful metaphors
Fought it cheek to cheek

So why then
Has all my life made no sound
(These shameful metaphors)
And are your eyes
Closing even now
My life made no sound
(These shameful metaphors)
I fear your eyes closing


6. SLEEP APNEA

There sat a new test
Much harder that you bought in
As for the unseen, just take care of what you will
Light the silent alarm
We never think that we're missing much 'til

I gasp and hold my breath
These needs had changed so deep
To face you all and say
I've been awake for

I need a new test
Then I set out to choose someone to
Light the soul like a kiln
Just imagine us chasing this with
Eyes scorned from sleep apnea
A slight of tongue as the seas are emptying

I gasp and hold my breath
These needs have changed so deep
To face you all and say
I've been awake for....

Ever
Ever
Ever
Ever

Try to read off a letter that's falling apart
The sun and the moon I count sheep
Escape like an animal i'm ready for my sleepless stroll

I felt these shifting hours mistakenly used up

So I gasp and hold my breath
These needs have changed so deep
To face you all and say
I've been awake for years/forever

I gasp and hold my breath
These needs have changed so deep
To face you all and say
I've been awake for...

Ever
Ever
Ever
Ever


7. GET SOME

I tried an idea for no reason
Keep the sun off our shoulders
Crawling back to

A black out
Touching new life
Face down
Set the pace again

The drive the idea still existing
Sat and shuddered broke the pattern
Falling inward
In and down up and out
Let it go follow way back
Call it off any day anyway
Make you feel this

Don't take the fall
We'd hate to see
That's entertainment
Get some

Eyes on the goal
Last one to get
Is passed over looked over
Never rehearse
They've spiked a war
It's in the blood
Get some

We've underestimated
How can I
Get some

How can I...
How can I...
How can I...
Get some

How can I...
How can I...
How can I...
Get some

A blackout
Could this be the one

A blackout
Could this be the one

A blackout
Could this be the one


8. LETTER FROM A THIEF

They know what everybody knows
Better sit a letter from a thief says
Why lead when everybody sleeps
So few ways to
Cover up the old wounds
Lost in a finger forced to lie
This sends us medicating
Through it all

If you ever enter my mind
Stay there, you'll live
Defend it off and fool them all
Stay there

Faceless, so little there to judge
Left wing, let's separate the cold out
Opposites, we never need to tell
One sting, I found I'm having to,
I'm having to

If you ever enter my mind
Stay there, you'll live
Defend it off and fool them all
Stay there, you'll live
Defend it off and fool them all

Solitude
waste of a man
This fades as soon as the sun sets

I now own this fatal role that lives
Imagine here's a better feel
Told to dissolve or choose to fade
Or stay here
You'll live

If you ever enter my mind
Stay there, you'll live
Defend it off and fool them all
Stay there, you'll live

If you ever enter my mind
Stay there, you'll live
Defend it off and fool them all
Stay there


9. AN EVENING WITH EL DIABLO

High up on you
You display
Good traits the few
We've found, time alone will tell.
This disease, keeps me holding me down.

Try to run, when near sleep.
To imagine, us away.
He said come, fly around my hell,
And know this, you seem to be,
Too scared to run.

Too scared, to run,
Too scared, to run,
Too scared, to run,
Too scared...

Wish I had your faults,
Nothing seems to phase you.
Lies, you're much more than just human.

I was high up on you,
'Til the shadows, began to crawl.
Some say, we can never know.
From just how far down,
This beast has come.

Too scared, to run,
Too scared, to run,
Too scared, to run,
Too scared, to run,
Too scared, to run.

Wish I had your faults,
Nothing seems to phase you.
Lies, you're much more than just human.

Wish I had your faults,
Nothing seems to phase you.
Lies, you're much more than just human.

Wish I had your faults...
Wish I had your faults...


10. SEND THE PAIN BELOW

I liked, having hurt
So send the pain below where I need it,
You used to beg me to take care of things,
And smile at the thought of me failing.

But long before, having hurt,
I'd send the pain below,
I'd send the pain below.

Much like suffocating,
Much like suffocating,
Much like suffocating,
(I'd send the pain below...)
Much like suffocating,
(I'd send the pain below...)

You used to run me away,
All while laughing.
Then cry about that fact,
'til I returned.

But long before, having hurt,
I'd send the pain below,
I'd send the pain below.

Much like suffocating,
Much like suffocating,
Much like suffocating,
(I'd send the pain below...)
Much like suffocating,
(I'd send the pain below...)
Much like suffocating.

I can't feel my chest,
Need more, drop down,
Closing in.

I can't feel my chest,
Drop down.

I liked, having hurt.
So send the pain below,
So send the pain below,
(Much like suffocating) (I liked)
So send the pain below,
(Much like suffocating) (having hurt)
So send the pain below,
(Much like suffocating)
So send the pain below,
(Much like suffocating)
So send the pain below


11. THE RED

They say freak,
When you're singled out,
The red, well it filters through.

So lay down, the red is real,
When his sight goes red again.
Seeing red again,
Seeing red again.

This change, he won't contain,
Slip away, to clear your mind.
When asked, who made it show,
The truth, he gives in to most.

So lay down, the red is real
When his sight goes red again.

So lay down, the red is real
When his sight goes red again.
So lay down, the red is real
When his sight goes red again.

Seeing red again,
Seeing red again,
Seeing red again,
Seeing red again,
Seeing red again,
Seeing red again,
Seeing red again,
Seeing red....

They say freak...
When you're singled out.
The red, it filters through...


12. STRAIGHT JACKET FASHION

Don't stand around
So far, it's empty
Just pull close these witnesses
That follow, so trusting
There they go

By the way
We last because we're colorful
And as for fools, just play the opposite

Cause quietly, you're overrated anyhow
And currently, you've spread yourself so thin

Climb up your pedestal
To hang yourself from it
"A cold day in hell's" the phrase
I used when I never ever meant to change
Scab

By the way
We last because we're colorful
And as for fools, just play the opposite

'Cause quietly, you're overrated anyhow
And currently, you've spread yourself so thin
Spread yourself so thin

His straight jacket fashion
Can't believe he could
But I cry denial
To say that he should
This straight jacket fashion
I can't believe he could
Starve ourselves just to say
You know that you should

By the way
We last because we're colorful
And as for fools, just play the opposite

Quietly, you're overrated anyhow
Currently, you've spread yourself so thin

Quietly, you're overrated anyhow
And currently, you've spread yourself so thin
Spread yourself so thin
Spread yourself so thin
Spread your..


13. VITAMIN R

Some will learn, many do. cover up or spread it out.
Turn around, had enough, pick and choose or pass it on.
Buying in, heading for suffer now or suffer then
And it's bad enough, I want the fear, need the fear
'Cause he's alone (the fear has become)
He's alone (the fear has become)

Well, if they're making it, and you're pushing it,
And you're leading us along.
The hassle of all the screaming fits,
That panic makes remorse.

After all, what's the point? 'cause levitation is possible.
If you're a fly; achieved and gone; there's time for bliss & so much more.
It's difficult, create a world; a special place of my Design.
To never cope , or never care , just use the key
'Cause he's alone (the fear has become)
He's alone (the fear has become)

Over and over I slave.
Became over and over a slave.
Became over and over a slave.
Became over and over a slave.


14. I GET IT

So you say you're ignored
As it is,
Well, give us your sad, sad trip

You're right, I get it
It all makes sense, you're the perfect person
So right, so wrong
Let's all live in your imaginary life

Assumed it's whether
We're right, or wrong
We're doomed, and there's plenty for all

How dare you catch me counting
How dare you call at all
How dare you call this suffering
How dare you call at all

You're right, I get it
It all makes sense, you're the perfect person
So right, so wrong
Let's all live in your imaginary life

Pass on these tenets
They double in time
The touch of life, once failed to mention so far

Of course the law is fountains
Of face to face remorse
Of fast and restless blackmail
Like pent up fetish force

You're right, I get it
It all makes sense, you're the perfect person
So right, so wrong
Let's all live in your imaginary life

Do you want it enough?
Do you want it at all?
Should you need it at all?
Takes a minute to see
Do you want it enough?
Do you want it at all?
Should you need it at all?
Do you want it or not?

You're right, I get it
It all makes sense, you're the perfect person
So right, so wrong
Let's all live in your imaginary life

Life, life, life.
