CHAOS HAS LOST ITS STING
YOUR LOUSY UPBRINGING
NEW HOPE FOR THE DEAD
GO WHERE ITS GETTING TENSE
NO ONE LEFT TO IMPRESS
THE WALKING INVALIDS
THE SILENT CRYPTORCHIDS
THEY NEED A PLACE TO LIVE
JUST A SLAVE TO THE SEASONS
THE SUNDIAL SHADOW READING:
NEW HOPE FOR THE DEAD
COMMOTION IN THE WINGS
I TRIED TO SAY SOMETHING
THE GOD WITH THE JACKAL HEAD
I LET HIM SPEAK INSTEAD
BITCHIN WONT DO NO GOOD
BITCHIN WONT CHANGE THE YOUTH
NOT IN THIS NEIGHBORHOOD

IT ALL STARTED WHEN I WANTED TO SMELL THE ROSES
PISSING IN THE YARD YELLED TO HELL WITH THE JONESES
DROWN THEM ALL IN THE SEA JUST LIKE MOSES DID
EVENTUALLY THE WATER AROUND ME CLOSES
ALL THOSE BRILLIANT ROSES
SMOTHERED WITH GARDEN HOSES
SOLUTIONS TO WHAT IS HOPELESS
THE ROOTS OF WHY I CHOSE THIS
LEAVING LIFELESS LEAVES A LOCUST
NOWADAYS SO HARD TO FOCUS
BURNT IN THE SUN WHEN IM CLOSEST
BUT REALLY ITS ALL THE STEADY/DAILY DOSES
IT ALL STARTED WHEN WE WANTED TO SMELL THE ROSES
NOW THE BLOSSOMS ARE ON OUR NOSES

Felt distant after our anthill fell
Cheated myself when my ear came off the ground
And I missed all those sweet, sweet sounds
Now I know, going anywhere your chips don’t pool
Leaves you hedging bets like a fool
Found my way back home
Lost that feeling from being alone
And I just wanna get stoned and listen to your songs
Now I know going anywhere your chest don’t pull you
Leaves you charting maps like a fool

Better Chance

No time today
Maybe not tomorrow
You say this is love like it’s a song
And I want to share my way
But give you time to find it
I just hope you don’t say it’s all wrong
Cause I’m not gonna pace it
I’m here and I’m gone
One foot out the door
But not for long
And I’m not gonna lace it
With everything I know
Cause I know the better chance
Is that I’m wrong
Like I need to know I am wrong
I need you to know I’m still here

Do you want resolution
Or just a distraction
You don’t want evolution
You just want to live and die
But if the execution isn’t right
You’ll just complain
And ask for the same
Old ways are now bringing you down
Your characters have all drown
When you look outside and don’t know why you frown
Then try the door that’s slammed so tight
Come out tonight (X3)
It’s the heart that they try not to bare that lets you know they’re there
It’s the heart that you try not to bare that lets them know you’re there
It’s the heart that they try not to bare that lets them know you’re there
It’s the heart that you try not to bare that lets you know they’re there
It’s the heart that they try not to bare that lets them know they’re there
It’s the heart that you try not to bare that lets you know you’re there

I USED TO HAVE A FOLKLORE
FASHIONED IT FOR YEARS
ITS ALL BECOME CLEAR
EVERYONE HAS THEIR MINOR PART TO PLAY
BEHOLD THE GRAND SPOTLIGHT
I AM DESERVING
SOLILOQUY IN THE NIGHT
LISTEN TO THE MURMURING
I CAN CAST MYSELF AS WHOEVER
THE ENDLESS MONOLOGUE
ITS ALL RIGHT THERE IN BLACK AND WHITE
I COULD EXPLAIN EVERYTHING I DID TO YOU
ITS COLD OUT OF THE SPOTLIGHT
AS ITS SWERVING
EXODUS STAGE RIGHT
AS THE CURTAIN CLOSES
FOR THE LAST TIME
PICK UP YOUR ROSES
I ALWAYS KNEW FROM THE START
BORN TO PLAY THE BIT PARTS
FOR ALL OF THE GLORY
IT WAS ALWAYS YOUR STORY

He left that day knowing
Everything made sense
There wasn’t a place
He’d ever hide
But those pig iron boys
Were chasing bags of cents
And there was nothing
They wouldn’t try
Keenan went to work
Paid his bills on time
Those pig iron boys
Planned the perfect crime
And as the night dimmed
And as the world spins
We’re always on the losing side of it
Each day you stood waiting
For a chance that never came
That train kept rolling
And that train keeps rolling

NOW THAT THE OLD LADYS DEAD
ILL NEVER SEE YOU AGAIN
HERES A BOX OF ASHES FOR YA
BLOWN AWAY IN THE DIASPORA
DONT RAKE THE LEAVES IN THE FALL
PULL THE PHONE OFF THE WALL
DONT THINK OF US AT ALL
FINALLY A PERFECT CASTLE
NO COBWEBS AND NO HASSLE
IN SUCH A LONG TRADITION ITS HARD TO WALK AWAY
BUT OUR BLOOD IS A PRISON SO LETS CUT THE VEIN
I KNOW NOW YOU WERE WRONGED
DEALT WITH US FOR SO LONG
SO CHEERS TO LIFTED WEIGHTS
OUTSIDE THE CEMETARY GATES
LOVE HAS CONDITIONS THERES NO OTHER WAY
OUR BLOOD IS A PRISON SO LETS BREAK AWAY
CHEERS!

You did not want me to leave the town of the flowing well
Never pictured me at Big Ed’s with a jukebox and a hearty swill
But ma I’ve only used a crutch or two
Though my whole life’s been in shifts
It still halts
Well I say your words often and I sing your songs blue
Of all the crimes I’m guilty of none are worse than those against you
You taught me to keep a revolving door
And strangers on my floor
But no one ever knows what to do (like you)
I’ve got these kids who seem to love me by default
And I tell them you’re not gone, just beyond some vacant threshold
You know I’ve seen them cry at funerals and the pangs of adolescence
And I know they long for you and I know they long for you like I do
Where are you?
