pain as a source of light son you have risen too soon “i alone sit destitute” my back is against the wall and its safe to assume the world i am treading the worms i am dreading i’ll kill everyone in this room love you unfettered lie i’ll give and take eye for eye my heart is against the floor and it’s safe to assume the worms will come calling insides a cold numbing i’ll kill everyone in this room so, pay with your pound of flesh dear i’ll laugh cuz it doesn’t mean anything so, paid like a brother of judas betray the savior and i would have too i would have to. pain as a source of this light or is the light the source of my pain? all that i want is someplace quiet but you just will not leave me be crucify your son i don’t give a fuck you see i just need room to breath as a source of light Music & Lyrics by Wooden Nomad.

end autumn fell breathing in the worst of today in dreams and spit cold turned away i’m the last pitiful son nothing is going to stop me when i come undone when autumn falls i will fall with her with every kiss i’ll break my wrists and swear i’ll never love again “ where is the moon?” i softly whisper to the sea “it’s rising soon be still my love’ how can i ever be free with this pain i carry? “i’m sure it’s soon the land will fall into the sea and you and i will finally cease” such relief when autumn falls i will fall with her with every kiss i’ll break my wrists and swear i’ll never love again i never knew why the dreams inside left me no love nothing but strife every day is another day that i would rather not live Music & Lyrics by Wooden Nomad.

crucifix in my boot i believe that there’s something still inside of me sicker than the best i remember walking home, with a crucifix in my boot so it seems life is life and not a dream but i digress i remember making love and hating every minute of it so much for blood when it comes to shove i guess i must confess i’d rather stay at home anyway i’ve never felt better! (how the fuck am i still alive?) take these teeth (laughing as they shatter) how am i? so much for love when it comes to shove i guess i must confess i’d rather stay at home i’d like to take your soul and stretch it over mine just so i know how it feels to be complete Music & Lyrics by Wooden Nomad.

Sin and Bone 02:15
sin and bone i know you know but don’t hold your breath shake it take it awake it nothing left. it’s just a needle and thread through your eye no reason to cry. and i fake it all the time patience has built the cut here with mine i will be the one to give you the smile you give the coroner just a little more time and you’ll see the ship we sail on is sin and bone come with me dear toward oblivion let’s dance in hell in the fires of i’d love to be the one to tell you what you believe in but in the end it don’t mean a fucking thing take it my breath wear it like a noose your bugs your lips your teeth fucking all i count the maggots til you break your spine goddamn it you’re mine just a little more time and you’ll see the ship we sail on is sin and bone Music & Lyrics by Wooden Nomad.

do or die (LP version) i’m a whiskey shot floating on these worthless drops of saline sailing on a distant sea i can see you praying to the heavens ever naïve that heaven still believes i’d been drinking all night and i’d lost track of my entire life. “soon enough it’ll be crystal clear i’ll just put my fist through the bathroom mirror” me and the devil and a bottle of wine drink up boy it’s do or it’s die i’m a causeway a little bump on life’s weight always wondering which side to be on can i have you can we keep anything or do we acquire what only must be lost? i’d been drinking all night and i’d lost track of my entire life “soon enough it’ll be crystal clear just put my fist through the bathroom mirror” am i the devil or the bottle of wine? drink up boy it’s do or it’s die.

Resplendence 02:27
resplendence last bottle of wine shattered and stained broken supine how can i find truth bare in this house of flies? dead or dying what we create we will destroy time after time we’ll take the cancer not the cure despite everything we claim to be despite the promise we’ve left behind it’s still a lie trapped inside a broken bottle of wine there’s no god there’s no hope in america not anymore white sort of lie reflected in misguided light? i’m the son of your disgust tonight despite everything we claim to be we too will kill inside the time when we die all of us die you will be resplendent Music & Lyrics by Wooden Nomad.

Panic Button 02:51
panic button one more imagined dream i never thought of having with this poison in my gut i awoke in a panic don’t lock me away again one more abandoned night broken wrists to turpentine kiss the apple of my eye tell me where and tell me when again take the flesh in exchange for broken skin all the bitter buildings seem to disagree the city is dead not dying i am the ghost of the child you lost the one you once loved but so soon forgot take me fro granted hell i do all the time its only life and its not worth that much scapegoat child to wicked wild i’ve had enough too many pills too many years of being numb i’d simply rather go mad one more abandoned day strong son imbalanced grace her memory keeps me in my place tell me where and tell me when again take the flesh in exchange for broken skin all the bitter buildings seem to disagree the city is dead not dying Music & Lyrics by Wooden Nomad.

the long halloween i’ve been watching for rain to wash this city away and cleanse this sick and tired human race i keep waiting, i’m always waiting for us to get erased for someone tear it all down wear the mask again incise cut tear the flesh away on this long halloween if i take needle and thread will i be able again to stitch on a smile so oft unworn? i’m far too tired to feel anything more than bereft and wartorn wear the mask again incise cut tear the flesh away on this long halloween i’m not really sure what has happened to me but the angels i’ve slaughtered now pray to me don’t you say something i can not judge i’ve broke your thought and i know your blood wear the mask again incise, cut, tear the flesh away on this long halloween your honor i’m begging please don’t me to apologize this world needs some razing too many people, too many lies what will it take for you to finally open up our eyes? your honor its far too late, all that’s left is for us to die Music & Lyrics by Wooden Nomad.

way with words there’s a broken piece of glass and i’m feeling the need to bite down on it just to feel some pain something sharp and clean something more than what i am i’ve got a way with words just not the right kind i once had a dream of metal and steam just to realize it wasn’t mine i’ve sat drunk on shores just waiting for more filled only by the empty sky here a dream can kill you what breaks you is what loves you i just long for silence every time i open my eyes i say a prayer to make the fucking sun stop a wish to die in the cold instead of useless and old a wish to watch the world end i’ve got a way with words just not the right kind Music & Lyrics by Wooden Nomad.

Pulp 04:23
pulp when i was young it seemed to me that love always won out no matter what just believe just remain devout every song every word i misunderstood when i where it feels like a lie i don’t want you to love me anymore can you name a more destructive force than idealistic love? cities torn wars have waged its down to love or god i’m not sure who’s killed more it’s close it seems john and paul you were fucking wrong i don’t want you to love me anymore how we’ve made such a mess of our ordinary lives i am tired of the claim that love will save us all the trumpeters seem often times spill hate onto us the compassion seems a distant dream for these bronze machines how i loathe being a human being i don’t want you to love me anymore it’s a shame we had such potential it’s a waste laying on the floor and this world would be a better place if we if we just went away i tried so to not let you down but i always did nothing more than failing you.
