Crawled up on the table beat him raw and set him back up on the shelf Third in line but first one there guess it’s ok did it to himself Just one look and then we knew Was the last we’d see of you Clouds have parted think I’ll join you if my back stops hurting so badly Broken leg a foot above the rest this ended ‘fore it started Was all we could think to do Still more than we got from you One last thing and then you’re through Still more than we’ll ever do

My Riad 04:49
Secular pills divide my time Dracula’s hip debauch controls the fear Miniature cleft regarding my Character break repeat intent to sear Little bit in now bleach it out Hit me again, again I’m almost here Changing you is all I ever desired But I saw through Like you never had this either Secular pills divide my time Dracula’s hip debauch controls the fear Miniature cleft regarding my Character break repeat intent to sear Hit it again a little bit longer Hit it again just push it in softer Lean on the crutch and hobble along now When it wash out we’ll see who lived longer Hey… Changing you is all I ever desired But I saw through Like you never had this either Sick and wasting energy Not the same as you Sick of wasting energy Just paying the dues As you’re carryin’ on I’m half discerning the words I relinquish myself Into the arms of the world Laughin’ carryin’ on Half the things that you said Split a hole in our lives Guess we’re better off dead Changing you is all I ever desired But I saw through Like you never had this either

Tradition 04:44
As political and overstepping as always Suddenly a feigning of surprise to see You miserable liars stepping sideways It’s so pitiful but tradition dictates That the plentiful and stupid many always Come away from crisis smelling like a rose You miserable liars fucking always Push and pull until you get your gold I hear they claw meat away from eyes It’s typical insentience that’s always Saddened by the same shit it would say to me You call me arrogant, divisive, tawdry I’m so sorry, it must be my mistake Just as pitiful and overwhelming as always You’re fucking with the bull the horns are getting dull You miserable liars fucking always Push and pull until you get your gold I hear they claw meat away from eyes As political and overwhelming as always Suddenly a feigning of surprise to see You miserable liars stepping sideways It’s so pitiful but tradition dictates…

Grindstone 06:16
Another echelon in another line Flay me with some guilt again, probably time All of my ambition’s rotten on the vine Rip the world apart to see what’s inside Another echelon in another line Letter after letter become defined Grindstone spins away and I’m so tired I think I’m way too young to feel like I’m dying Oooooo High north winds lick the ears of rote, and call back from where I came But all my friends there are long since dead and no one remembers my name It’s my fault, it’s my fault, but you’ve still no right To tell me I should rest It’s not fair but who cares You know you’re right Just leave me to my trench Another echelon in another line Guess I’ll call it progress if I’m asked this time All of my ambition’s taking its sweet time Cut it all in half, there’s more halves inside Still High north winds lick the ears of rote, and call back from where I came But all my friends there are long since dead, and no one remembers my name It’s my fault, it’s my fault, but you’ve still no right To tell me I should rest It’s not fair but who cares You know you’re right Just leave me to my trench Down in here like the first time, bathed in some light Overhead bright illusions shimmer and fight High north winds lick the ears of rote, and call back from where I came But all my friends there are long since dead and no one remembers my name Well then, they’re catching up faster than I Can run Night fails to bring me anything above or beyond what I know scares me

Morphine 03:19
Just make me wanna get fucked up, shut down Wear this answer like a crown The ghost of personality Stands like a statue over me A toast to its conditioning Foundation slowly crumbling And age alone Won’t be too long Tomorrow’s too long and the feeling is gone Face this later on or someday Oh well This holy thing asks too much of me I’ve sold everything for days of well Heartbreak and It’s fucked up shut down Wear this answer like a crown It’s pessimist servility And quiet resigned certainty Shored by its mortality Old age and instability to spend alone No hell no home She was gasping for air And it held my stare Self-centered aware that someday I will Die unaware whether anyone’s there Fed morphine and air until it makes me still Heartbreak and I’m fucked up shut down The goddam faithful mill around Thanking providence that she Suffered years past when it seemed Her goodness mandated her free No love from on high did the deed Her mind was gone She died alone It’s fucked all around Got no faith to dumb it down The ghost of personality Still demands servility A toast to immaturity Good goddam instability One wage alone No help no home

Song withered I felt tedious too Anything to feel well will do You look so perfect; gray and blue Entropy suicide; black balloons
