THE GROUND IS SICK
CHEMICALS IN THE SKIES ARE LIT
ILLUMINATED FLINT
NOTHING TO EAT THAT'S FIT
AND NOW THE PAST IS CATCHING UP
DORMANT SHITCANOES WILL ERUPT
YOU CAN SLEEP FOR A MONTH
IT WON'T BE ENOUGH
DONT LET THE BASTARDS GET YOU DOWN
I KNOW YOU FEEL THAT YOU MAY DROWN
I NEED YOU AROUND
WE ARE ON AN EPIC TRIAL
WE'RE ALL FREE TO BE VILE
OUR COMPLICIT STYLE
ITS EVERYDAY DENIAL
AND NOW THE PAST IS CATCHING UP
WALK THRU DEMOCRACY AT DUSK
EVERYONE I MEET I DON’T TRUST
AND NOW THE PAST
DONT LET THE BASTARDS GET YOU DOWN
I KNOW THE WORLD HAS COME UNWOUND
BUT WE NEED YOU AROUND

Waiting to Happen
02:36

There are so many updates,
But nothing’s really changed
You think it’s all crumbling but
Your point of view’s been rearranged
Are we gonna be flesh-bots
Trapped on UFO’s
There is no juggernaut
Telling us what to do
Do you believe we should all be punished
Is there a need for you to admonish
Everyone you see’s not in the game
Who wants to be an accident waiting to happen?
All the lines are traced
Patina papers drenched in tears
The tragedies have all been faced
The stories are told laced with fear
Green lawns and white fences
Are there for you to see
Time is still as it lapses
You just have to watch your speed

See it Now

GAVE UP TRYING TO BLOCK IT OUT
I SEE IT NOW
PASSING TEMPOS REPEATING MOUTHS
I SEE IT NOW
REMEMBER THERE'S NOTHING PURE
NOT REALLY WHO YOU THOUGHT YOU WERE
SAME OLD INNER VOICE
SO GODDAMN TIRING
I AM ALL ROTTEN JOISTS
AND BAD WIRING
SHADOWS PLAY ON THE BRAINWAVES
I TRY TO TURN THE PAGE / THE STORY STAYS THE SAME

Lost or Found

Broken down to pieces
Everything must go
Chances fade to ash
And melt the snow
Your bread and wine
Left behind
For a time crunch
You never know what you’ve done
Turn it over
Plow again
Try to see there ain’t nothing
There’s something
Don’t shed a tear today cause
That’s only fear you hang on
Buzzards gotta eat, same as worms
Leave the carcass of your world laying around
Someone’s gonna gulp it down
And leave none lost or found
And the papers say the outcome is unclear
No one can tell your fortune, it just isn’t there
You don't wanna wait

IT'S HARD FOR HIM TO UNDERSTAND
MY FATHER'S SUCH A SERIOUS MAN
HE MARRIED THE FAITH – TRADED US FOR A CLAN
I LEARNED TO TAKE THE BACK SEAT
I HIDE AS IF MY LIFE'S A CRIME
AND ALL WE LOSE IS THE PRECIOUS TIME
I'M NOT GONNA LIVE A LIFE I HATE
I'D RATHER TAKE THE BACK SEAT
I CARRY IT ALL DAY LONG...
WE GO TO SLEEP WITH OUR FINGERS CROSSED
WE GET THROUGH THE NIGHT
CUZ THE HOPES NOT LOST
WE MAKE UP THE BED WHERE WE TURNED AND TOSSED
WE WERE DREAMIN' WE KEEP DREAMIN'
WE CARRY IT ALL DAY LONG...
KEEP ON DREAMIN'

ANOTHER WINTER OF SOLITAIRE
IN THE HINTERLAND OF DESPAIR
DID THE STREETS NAME YOU OR DID YOU NAME THE STREETS?
THE ECHOES OF WINGS OF CROW YOU HAD TO EAT
YOU'VE BEEN SLEEPING IN THE PARK
THE BEACONS HAVE ALL GONE DARK
A LOST MAGI WITHOUT A STAR
SECRET FEARS IN SHATTERED MASON JARS
CAREFUL OF THE GAMES YOU START WITH FAUST
I HEARD YOU HAVENT LEFT THE HOUSE
YOU'VE BEEN SORTING OUT THE NARCS
JUST TRYING TO GATHER WHERE YOU ARE
YOUR YELLOW EYES THEY SEE AN END
AND I HOPE YOUR FEELING GOOD AGAIN
IF WE DON’T LIFT FINGERS I LOSE FRIENDS

Night
01:48

It’s been going on this long
Why stop now?
We’ve fallen in a pit
And we ain’t ever crawling out
You see it too
It don’t matter
Who I’m talking to it’s you
And you and you and you, etc.
We have these thoughts
We pass them down
We’re only lost again (x3)
We’ll dig our way out of here
If we can’t go up
We’ll burrow down
And when we break through
It’ll be so bright we’ll have to cover
Our own eyes

Experiment

YOU CAN ONLY SEE THE DESERT
REACHING FAR AND WIDE
ANOTHER PATCH OF BLEACHED BONES
THE ONLY ROAD SIGN
YOU USED TO LISTEN TO THE WATER
AND NOW YOU CAN'T DIVINE
IT'S ALL WASTED TEARS
AND PRECIOUS SALT YOU CRIED
IN THIS EXPERIMENT
YOU DONT KNOW WHAT IT MEANT
BURNING UP DUSK AND MIDNIGHT
STILL YOUR MIND IT MELTS
ALL THESE POINTLESS SEASONS
TORTURING YOURSELF
REMEMBER THIS PLACE BEFORE
YOUR MATH CAME TO AN END
YOU CAN SEE THROUGH THE BEST LAID
PLANS OF SNAKES AND MEN
IN THIS EXPERIMENT
THERE'S ONLY ONE DIRECTION

Gone to Bolt
02:12

One snort will tell you what’s not long for this world
Before the sores and soft spots start to ooze,
You’ll know
There’s no preservation
You can’t soak this in Smirnoff
Won’t stomach another moment of
OOOOOoooooo
It’s not been years of famine
at least our home was fed
There was no hope we’d not let go
But our language had lost its flow
And since you view me as a ganof
You won’t mind getting rid of me too
Me too
Taking time to relate can leave an empty plate
There’s no growth we’ll ever know
We’ve harvested most all our rows
And the others have gone to bolt
We left the whole world dying at our feet
Broke every window, crushed every seed
There’s no reservation
Our pulses will beat on
Don’t mind us getting rid of you
