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

End. Autumn. Fell
02:34
|
|||
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

Crucifix in My Boot
02:12
|

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

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

Do or Die (LP Version)
02:48
|
|||
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

Waiting For The Rain

|

waiting for the rain
i’ve been catching tars on my tongue today and it feels like being young
woke up stuck in myself again and i wish i could be done
so i try
how i try but
nothing really matters
and i wait another day but my hope is shattered
maybe i need more release than anyone here can provide
i woke up feeling so old today and i’m sure you’d agree that
i’m not good for anything and i never have
been
can we please leave?
i don’t think i can breathe
i need hands on me
sometimes it’s too damn hard
to be me
if there’s ever been a best of me baby
i know it’s in you.
i woke up wanting a drink today and it feels like giving up

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

Black Genesis

black genesis
kissed like cancer
cold and bereft
the children slit their own throats
tired they left
hanged from the ceiling
a monument of shame
mothers body willing
she gave it away
feel like leaving your body behind
feel like leaving your body behind
grab the scissors
and cut it away
your pretty face
and wear it today
feel like leaving your body behind
feel like leaving your body behind
there’s no god for you

The Long Halloween

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

Way With Words
01:37
|

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

Pulp

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.

dahlia
1947 january 15th
they found your raped shaved body
in plain sight for all to see
you’ve got a smile that i just can’t defy
and you’re on my mind day and night
1947 january 15th
a man he did walk free
but, first he killed a woman
he killed her just for me
gave her a smile that i just can’t deny
and you haunt my life
are you feeling ok?
your sweet skin is cold to the touch
i haven’t seen you breathing so i sang you a
lullabye
bye bye
you’re on my mind
everyday
every night
you will always be my doll
my dhalia
