Lyrics


1. GRAVEMAKERS & GUNSLINGERS

So draw - Little piggy - Better watch out for number one
I fear there’s a bad wind blowing today
You better put up the shutters ‘cause Lord knows
Now I ain’t stoppin’ ‘till the worst gets alive.
Little strutter - Don’t you creep out that fuckin’ rut
It’s best that you don’t go walking through there
Now please - Don‘t bother knockin’
‘Cause God knows I ain’t now stopping ‘till you breathe none

[Chorus]
Hey
What I miss?
We‘re one and the same
Just give it the push while I kick start
There’s just no time for this
Come on - It's just the hurt I’m looking for
Don’t wanna live no more
You’ve got the gun - I’ve got the bullets.
Don’t wanna live no more
Oh baby - Be my lover
Go on and pull that trigger

You’re the sin of the city - Now repent for the wrong you’ve done
I’m not sorry for this - Not sorry at all
You’re a snake undercover
No room for another just these bad motherfuckers
Leave a long trail of nothing - Little bad boy with gun in hand
It’s best that you don’t go walking through there
Now please - Come boy a poppin’
‘Cause God knows I ain’t now stopping ‘till you breathe none

[Chorus]

Let flood out the weasel’s hole
Oh Christ - Will you bury my body?
To choke out all the lies it’s told
Oh Christ - Will you bury my body?
With time - Hope the hurt gets old
Oh Christ - Will you bury my body?
Let’s fuck out the weasel’s hole
Oh Christ - Will you bury my body?

We’ll keep marching to the top of this tower
As God isn’t at home - No
There’s nothing in the way that could stop us
It’s your time to go

[Chorus]

Don’t wanna live no more
Go on and pull that trigger
Wanna live no more
Be my lover
Go on and pull that trigger


2. DELIRIUM TRIGGER

We're now up here alone - Terror on the intercom - Can someone save us?
Systems malfunction - Blast it - This damn machine over and out captain
Something lurks - Creeps on the counter top - Somewhere behind you
Parasitic cyst - I can't stand to watch - It's coming up and out of your chest

Remember when we were young
I sit up right on the table - A photograph of earth feeding me a way back
Frightened I tear alone or maybe not the only one there
Hello - Hello when it rings will you answer?
There corner tall short stance
It's you - Come on - Kill me

You made a good friend to me while you were outnumbered
And torn they made us do things

[Chorus]
Oh dear god - I don't feel alive when you’re cut short of misery
Will you pray it be the end? Give a look surprised wide eyes to me
Then you'll know just what I am - The scare that triggers your fear
Come know me in a different light now - Come know me as god

You made a good friend to me while you were outnumbered
And torn they made us do things to you

Run sand hourglass - It’s my time - Will I be worth?
Spin 'round carousel when your horse isn't screwed in

[Chorus]


3. THE WILLING WELL II: FROM FEAR THROUGH THE EYES OF MADNESS

What is this that I feel and what is this that I fear?
In these arms that whored out amongst the worms
That mate in these fields - Oh
From pressure to pain I wish to stay awake
In the measure I test with your love for me
So shout against these walls
With hope that one will break free
So hear me

What is this that you keep selling me, boy?
I'm not gonna hold your hand here when you walk
You'll burn in hell while they're digging you out
You'll burn in hell while they're digging you out
I'm not gonna hold your hand here when you walk
You'll burn in hell while they're digging you out
You'll burn in hell while they're digging you out

So picture this face and burn it to flake
To shelter it at home at the fireplace
And all but memory will fade
With the flick of the flame
So I have a secret that no one should know
That I shouldn't tell
But of all the - But of all the worlds
This one won't feel
This one just won't leave me well

What is this shit you keep selling me, boy?
I'm not gonna hold your hand here when you walk
You'll burn in hell while they're digging you out
You'll burn in hell while they're digging you out
I'm not gonna hold your hand here when you walk
You'll burn in hell while they're digging you out
You'll burn in hell

(x2)
In the press of your back
Do you feel the shore swell?
Oh boy - I'm eating my way back home

As father told son in the make of his final escape
Should all good boys die with God at their side
At the grace of his gates?
No - The robot holds none with the mind
And a heart to comply
Then I will disguise and grieve of those dead
When I'm given the time

Run - Little rabbit
Go hide in the blades of that grass
Run - Rabbit - Run

Should capture be our earnest fault?
Breathe up through lust and I'll find your cure
In there I'll kill - Kill - Kill
In there I'll kill - Kill - Kill

With your last breath of air
As the Earth comes trembling down
Would you give her this last night
And give up your life?
With your last breath of air
As the Earth comes trembling down
Would you give her this last night
The love of your life?

(x5)
No one runs faster than you can
No one runs faster than you
No one runs faster than you eat


4. A FAVOR HOUSE ATLANTIC

Your eyes tell the stories of a day you wish you could
Recall the moments that once have
Retract the footsteps that brought us to this favor
I wouldn't ask this of you

[Pre-Chorus]
Good eye - Sniper
Here I'll shoot - You run
The words you scribbled on the walls
With the loss of friends you didn't have
I'll call you when the time is right
Are you in or are you out?
For them all to know the end of us all

All

Run quick - They're behind us
Didn't think we'd ever make it
This close to safety in one piece
Now you wanna kill me in the act of what could maybe
Save us from sleep and what we are

[Pre-Chorus]

[Chorus]
Bye bye beautiful
Don't bother to write
Disturbed by your words and they're calling all cars
Face step - Let down
Face step - Step down

The words you scribbled on the walls
With the loss of friends you didn't have
I'll call you when the time is right
Are you in or are you out?
For them all to know

[Chorus] (x2)


5. THREE EVILS (EMBODIED IN LOVE AND SHADOW)

Across the floor in the hand of where we drove the drill
A cautious ear to the mouth of your confession
Think of all the things we put him through
In the face of his god - Would he tell the truth?
Still recorded were the words that dribbled out his kiss
When eyes go blind in this man of what could once become
Sever the limbs off his torso in sleep
And burn what remains so the world may now see
No longer - Will we wait for your answers
Back to the hell where you've come from
Think of all the times you’ve once had
Write them in a letter that says “goodbye”

You'll listen to reason while your face down in the dirt
You'll stomach the hurt and break for him here just how much he's worth

Slowly discarded were the remains of his lonely youth
Among the alley where the dwellers scare to notice
Picture a young boy in pieces and streets with leveled malfunctions
No name to be called redeemer
We'll fix him restore him with the love is no other
Think of all the things you did before
Write them in a letter that says “reborn”

You'll listen to reason while your face down in the dirt
You'll stomach the hurt and break for him here just how much he's worth

Following you across the interstate walking away - I'll fire on (x3)

(x3)
On the wrong way out
On the causeway to neverwhere

(x2)
Dear my friends - In the time we've spent forever
After beyond this - When will our nightmare ever end?

(x3)
Pull the trigger and the nightmare stops
Pull the trigger and the nightmare stops
Pull the trigger and the nightmare stops
Forever you will - Forever you will learn


6. WAKE UP

I'm gonna ride this plane out of your life again
I wish that I could stay but you argue
More than this I wish you could've seen my face
In backseat staring out the window

I'll do anything for you
Kill anyone for you

So leave yourself intact
'Cause I will be coming back
In a phrase to cut these lips
I love you

[Chorus]
The morning will come
In the press of every kiss
With your head upon my chest
Where I will annoy you
With every waking breath
Until you decide to wake up

I've earned through hope and faith
On the curves around your face
That I'm the one you'll hold forever
If morning never comes for either one of us
Then this I pray to you wherever

I'll do anything for you
This story is for you
'Cause I'd do anything you want me to for you
I'll do anything for you
Kill anyone for you

So leave yourself intact
'Cause I won't be coming back
In a phrase to cut these lips
I loved you

[Chorus]

The morning will come
In the press of every kiss
With your head upon my chest
Where I will annoy you
With every waking breath
'Til you decide to wake up
