1. THE GREAT RED SHIFT

This is my life down here with me
One mistake for which I still pay dearly
Self-reconstruction
After a granted wish
For annihilation
The dissection of definition
The bitter bite of memory
Cringing in anticipation
The reflections on which we used to rely
Crushed were we to discover
That they could only lie
Don't lie to me and say you'd die for me
What would you die for


2. COLLUSIONIST

One-sided stories of playthings and
Piano strings and everything which in
The heart strings

Like trying to sing while hysterically weeping
Franticly trying to seal the cracks through
Which all things are leaking

The fairy tale slowly fades to black
My conscience screams to me a warning
Don't look back

There's a sting in your heart
And if it feels like me
I hope you feel it forever
That you may always remember

Dare I still feel with all of my heart
Am I the last of my kind
The fool for whom this lesson foes unlearned
Those who attempt to touch fire get burned

May this sting in your heat
Live as long as you do
A painful reminder
Of all that we've been through

An pluckable thorn resting in the side
A promise, an oath to through all things abide


3. QUIET PATTERN

I need another
I need at least one more
Nothing stops it when it comes
These many thoughts reduced to one
There's something dangerous in mind
Nothing stops it when it comes
Then I can't shake you off of me
Clutching so tight that I bleed
You have something I need
I need I need I need I need
I need I need I need I need
I need to believe this one thing
Push inside, mine forever


4. GROWNING SQUARE EYES

Put my body in the hole, in the ground
Underneath, there's no sound
Burn all that I've written
And every likeness of me
When it's done and I'm pulled
Down from the hanging tree

If this if your love, save your love

Hissing whispers on my eyes
Hide the truth, the look belies
By the neck guide me in
Whispers and a sawtooth grin
In whispers and secrecy
My enemies conspired
Fifty-thousand volts through
A thread of copper wire

If this is your love, save your love


5. YOUR PICTURE HUNG ITSELF

Put on flesh and run it through
The things you love, they will destroy you
When the seasons change, my scars burn
Another day of I'll never learn

Those words took you but seconds to say
Forever more and since that day
They will replay

I cease to resist your sweet lips
I cease to exist
Your arsenic kiss

The more time passes by
The more I realize you and I
Were just a lie

So many years believing
Belief turned to hope
Hope changed to doubt
That became bitterness
Which to this day
Turns me inside out

Those words took you but seconds to say
Forever more and since that day
They will replay

I cease to resist your sweet lips
I cease to exist
Your arsenic kiss

The more time passes by
The more I realize you and I
Were just a lie


6. FUNERAL PHOTOGRAPHY

Complete and total paralysis
Attaching to things we'll never miss
Where we live is this
A rotting casket scaled with a kiss
Devour each day, the only way
In the blink of an eye
It can be stolen away
Counting every second winding down
Like days in the heart of hell
Where all the dead wishes go
And the unloved and placeless dwell
Grins and poses
Every photo of the living funeral photography
It won't be me
We the living
One chance to do what you must
This is our one time around
Ashes to ashes, dust to dust


7. LIFE DURING WARTIME

Sleepless nights on the hardwood floors
The sweet lullaby of slamming doors
We spend our time watching
Raindrops race up windshields
We spend our time waiting in line
Only to die

If only I could sit down
With you one more time

Tell me the story that never ends
Play me the record that never ends

If only I could sit down
With you one more time

I wouldn't wish this misery
On my worst enemy
Hangrene hearts unite tonight


8. WHY HYENAS LAUGH

There's not a prayer in the world
In any sect or any tongue
Holy enough to be answered
To undo what's been done

The urge to recoil and strike
Swells like the tide
This classic position
A beginning which looks like the end

It lingers to sting
Abcess and canker
Swollen decay
Lusting forever

The most wretched of flypaper thoughts race
Across the mind as the moan like a whore
Their only love is to linger and sting
And swell by feeding on the hurt they bring
You won't live through this


9. SO TYPICAL MY HEART

So typical my heart
And here i am again
In envy of your will to leave me behind
We watched the city fall - it couldn't save our love
The death of my trust, eclipsed by tragedy
No need to cut me open,
I died of a broken heart,
Ashen grey and cold,
My mirror turned to stone
As your footsteps fade - await the final wave,
Too caught up in my game i watched you walk away
Tragedy won't distract your heart


10. IT RUNS IN THE BLOOD

Let go
Test the limits of desire
Let go
Penetrate to play with fire
Faceless names in nameless places
Of hope we only find traces
Fuck your addiction
You're not the only one it's killing
Black ink failed
Dry well
Well dry
Will try
Will try not to fail
I know how this will end
Every scar has a story
No guts, no glory


11. CLOSURE

Through this
I've been forced to find myself again
A half-man, blinded and alone
Torn in two from the center line
Jagged wounds leave jagged scars over time
This is how I'm being left to die
I'm nothing again
I'm taking you with me next time
What have you done
What have we done
I'm never coming back
