Smoke And Mirrors - action action

Comatose, feed my head with liberty, I've got an appetite for deceit. I'm done, well done, stick fork in
me, cover me in apathy, dicreetly and distinct able. I am trying to break your heart. I'm plagued with
doubt, no frogs or murdered first born. My thoughts are just a little sun burnt, dismantle all that ever
was, strip it down: withdraw the blood. Something going to break real soon, who's covering whose eyes?
Safety in knowing others lies pulled by the strings of time. Hold me back: I'm going to throw it all down
on the table. Do you expect us to believe in these fables? Oh, what to do with you? with you, with you,
with you? Hold me tight, it seems all I really have is in front of me, is the rest just a dream or a
fallacy? Oh, what to do with you? with you, with you, with you? A throw back to all those 80's slasher
flicks, you're a cheap killer, and I'm getting sick of it. God's dead, and all bets have waived their
rights, all is fair in love and time, who win the game of war? Illusion, a delusion, a terrible secret,
what one does see is another's lost prophet. Hold me close, I can see right through you, challegne all
you've ever heard, incite the search and motivate. Somthing going to break real soon, who's covering whose
eyes? Safety in knowing others lies, pulled by the strings of time. Please read between the lines, a
simple compromise between the sands of time. Please say with me, say with me...

Oh, My Dear It's Just Chemical Frustration - action action

The time is now, and Im running so thin, I got thin, I got thin, while others got fat. So fatten up, and
deliver your secrets, those secrets, those stories untold. Sorry say that love is a game, we're all just
pawns in the way. Lost, lost, lost, move the rook-E-eight, eliminate and get this game underway. Too many
secrets are shattering our lives, while others are stuck in expansive time. I've been tring to get out of
this goddamn fucking game. So back it up and up to down, down, downtown, don't you tell me wrong. Choose
your battle of words, that rule the world, it's in our heads anyway. Speak of the devil, and I just may
appear, I appeared in your dream, when you dreamed of getting ahead. Headless chickens that are missing
their exes, so axe this and go to the next, next chapter. Self serve friends, who are friends for a
second, I second that notation, it feels so intense? Intensely fishing without a hook, line, and sinker, I
sank to bottom, we'll bottoms up to you. Please inject some instand karma in to my instant coffee. Soon,
soon, soon, with the rope in the kitchen, all the answers will be on there way. Which shall I be, a
warlock or a priest, a pagan, christian or an evangelist? Pledge my alliance in the name of science,
follow the moth into the fire. Getting my head in a bit twist. What does it mattter when your enemies are
my friends?

A Tornado; An Owl - action action

Take what you've got, take comfort, in that everything you know, or seen will soon be a non existent dot.
Who'll save the world that claims there is no saving? An illusion or delusion of grandeur. Half of what I
say is bliss, the other half is meaningless. Comfortable lines. Wating for the clock to heal us. Lost and
found, but neer touched. Another beating heart is lost: Interesting lies. Waiting for the clock to heal us.
Alone in our rooms, miserable, a tornado or an owl, come back and isolate the balance. Nothing is
real; your heart on your sleeve, just another lie, transcend the pride, oh the chemicals. Take your time,
nothingness is something and something is nothing.

Sleep Paralysis - action action

It was somwhere around Sheffield where my conscious concedes. Fiction halts, the drugs began to wear
thin. Colored obvious, the world slid off it's tilt. Waking up each night, from the gravitational pull.
What is the sound of something trying not to make a sound? So sick of all the same old shit, so spent on
being sick. Will everybody wake up before it gets too late? Ghost wrote in the middle of the night,
chocking and abvious. Will everybody wake up before it gets too late? Always afraid, afraid of what the
truth may bring. The last horse has finally crossed the finish line. Long and clever titles doesn't bring
a clever song. This show has been going down hill since season one. Just an open book reading itself to
sleep...So sick of all the same old shit, so spent on being sick. Will everybody wake up (wake up, wakeup)
before it gets too late? Undone in the middle of the night, strinkingly obvious. Will everybody wake
up (wake up, wake up) before it gets too late? So sick of all the same old shit, so spent on being sick.
Will everybody wake up (wake up, wake up) before it gets too late? So tired...so tired...Will everybody
wake up (wake up, wake up) before it gets too late?

The Game - action action

Don't want to fall in love when it's in front of us. Why can't we dream? Fantasize without compromise, a
tear duct short of an alibi. Please thaw me out, and brush me off. Is love is quite the fallacy,
underneath the mystery? So, you finally came right out of my head and into my arms. Now these feelings I
know, I'll never let go. I've beaten the game. My alter ego's upstairs strung out on the couch. I need a
touch of innocence, so comfortable. So velvet lush and nectarous, there is a price to pay for dreaming. Is
love an emergency? Join in my perplexity!

Paper Cliché - action action

I to want take my head and cut it open extra wide. Want to examine oh the thoughts that seem to cricle
inside. Electrocute my thoughts or put my self on stand by. I'm so over, I'm so over...Let's open up the
sky and let the clichés pour. Everything has been executed better before. 8-bit Fantasies, I'm yesterday's
technology. Follow the leader, jump off with me. The wine is dripping with the blood off of my finger
tips. The mitochodrion are revolting, please take care off it. Carnivorous cells are winning against your
cancer lips. So come over so come over...Oh my god, I want to tear you apart. I am walking but I'm still
asleep. Oh my lord, this is blasphemy. Wake me up before I fall too deep. I wish I had an original thought
inside my skull. Everything has been done a million times before. My dream sequence has become my life or
so it seems. All my friends are dead, in a perfect scene. Oh my god, I want to tear you apart. I am
walking but I'm still asleep. Oh my lord, this is blasphemy. Wake me up before I fall too deep. In too
deep. Oblivious and numb. I want hurt you, but I can't cut you fast enough. The ink is dripping, and my
letter has become a mess. I want to hate you, but hate is love, just reversed. Why do we talk about things
that we loathe the most?

120 Ways To Kill You: An Illustrated Children's Book - action action

Wait, I really don't have the gots for this, it must have been abstracted with my appendix, or maybe it
grows with my wisdom teeth. Wait, it might be such a stretch, it's not my fault legally, I'll dial the
doctors now, you're right I never was a man for the law. Please don't walk away in defeat. Wait, I haven't
lost my courage on the rocks, I haven't quite found the words to use. I'm not sure they make the cards to
break this ice. Wait; Please wait until our socks are bitterly soaked, until we have to roll up our pants,
until the giraffes flee to row boats. Please don't walk away in anger darling, exit gracefully like the
evening's sunset, enter the scene starting with a dial tone, tightrope over these razorblade
complications. Cutting myself, almost everyday, let it feel so real, let me taste the pain. One day we'll
live in igloos on the Galapagos, 'till then let's remember the Atlantic air in-between our hands...The
worms are moving, the grass is growing, flowers are blooming, the leaves are dropping, the birds are
chirping, clouds are forming, the sun is burning, self medication never ends...I taught you how to hate,
you taught me how to love too. This is how I lost my mind on you. This is our final dance, you taught me
how to love and I taught you how to hate; everything is based off of you. Isn't it funny how we lost
control, or how I lost my mind on you?

What Temperature Does Air Freeze At? - action action

And we'll float to the end, where the oceans do bends, and we'll fly away.
And we'll shine on through, through the summer sky so blue, and we'll drift away.
We wake at ten and start out lives again, it's another day.
Together in a room, where the wall flowers bloom, it's a marigold way.
And we'll stare at the sun, while the sound and shapes run up the chimney.
We will drive in the clouds, trampoline up and down to our symphony.

The Other 90% Of The Iceberg - action action

Take the needle out, enjoy the drip.
Fill your head with lies, from your fingertips.
And you can't swallow all your problems, they float, float up to hunt you.
It's time for you to choose your conscience or the chemicals.
Caught in a dream disguise; happiness is real.
A snake, the knife, the candle, hold what's close to us.
A cave, that box, a tunnel, is our trust a must?
Our irrational manifestations, please decode the dosage.
Do we dream to solve the puzzle or dream to make them up?
Be careful what you wish for...

Analogue Logic - action action

We are the locust;
Annihilate your redemption.
We are clever, clever lines,
But the science is in the time,
Of the delivery,
Spaced in sporadic time.
If you jump in,
I will jump in too.
Who will save your soul?
If you strike the match,
Then I'll let it shower over you,
Drink down the chemicals.

I am the future,
Am the scene,
I am the logic,
I am the dream.
Flying on borrowed wings.
Build it up,
Just sit back and relax,
Burn away.
Flying on borrowed wings.

(We are just shadows,
Take advantage of this ego trip.
Let's dream to make our movies,
Lets make our movies of our dreams.
Starring in our own little scripts,
Just take advantage of this ego trip.
Who would play your role,
An intelligent unknown?
Or an up and comer?
Or a blockbust hero?)

I am the fever,
Just expired on the inside,
And I am itching for the trigger,
Or I am waiting to detonate all over you,
Please, please, you decide.
Time is the dark spot on all of our lungs,
Salvation, or defecation?
I am your church, your science, your imaginary savior.
All hail the game of chance!

I am the future,
Am the scene,
I am the logic,
I am the dream.
Flying on borrowed wings.
Build it up,
Just sit back and relax,
Burn away.
Flying on borrowed wings.

This is the worst trip,
This is the worst trip,
This is emergency,
So go, go, go, go,
Back and get it. [x6]

Don't Shoot The Messenger (Not My Idea) - action action

Well, you look so true in undressed eyes.
Is your coma real?
Did you change your mind?
I see so clearly in these bargain eyes.
Words coffee drip out my head.

Time will set us free,
As we both roll back our eyes.
I'm sad to say it wasn't my idea.
Relationships deplete as the tears run down your eyes.
I'm sad to say it wasn't my idea.

I might be blessed with amnesia instead.
Ghost written parade,
All the nonsense said. (oh yeah)
The world keeps on sinning inside my head.
Your words are an army between wars.

Time will set us free as we both roll back our eyes.
I'm sad to say it wasn't my idea.
Relationships deplete as the tears run down your eyes.
I'm sorry now,
To say to you that everybody makes mistakes.
I'm sad to say it wasn't my idea.

I see so clearly inside my head,
Your words are an army between wars.

Time will set us free,
As we both roll back our eyes.
I'm sad to say it wasn't my idea.
Relationships deplete as the tears run down your eyes.
I'm sad to say it wasn't my idea.

My idea.
Oh no, my my.
My idea, oh.
My my, my idea.
Oh, no, my idea.
Oh no no.

Attached To The Fifth Story - action action

I can't,
I can't take it easily,
I won't,
I won't let it gravel me.
But I transgress,
Born into sin,
Born into current.

I can't comply to a compliment.
I won't quietly ask for it,
And the current still drags me in,
Slow down. (Slow down, down, down)

The pills won't make this go away;
Our trails stubbornly set in ways to revolt,
Try to repulse. (Ohh)

Quake in the middle of the night feeling the choke,
Your mind being pulled out of your head.

I won't swallow it logically.
I see,
I'm barraged by dollar signs.
Show me in to permanent sleep.

Quake in the middle of the night feeling the choke,
Your mind being pulled out of your head.
Noise fills your thoughts,
Inhaling to catch your breath with every heartbeat.
Swallow your pride,
The strychnine's benign,
Dissolve your cyanide,
Enchant all my lies.
Discretely confined,
Coagulate my designs.
Am I seeing so clear,
Original sin is a hoax. [x2]

[end of song]

Ready?

Tell me where are all the good times?
The ones that set us free.
Tell me where are all the good times?
Tell me where are all the good times?
I'm a lost cause,
Sailing off course.
I'll be good for you.
I'll be waiting for the daze,
I've got a handful of the antidote.
I'm working out I'm by the head of an angel.
I cant believe that I'm too blind to see.

Oh,
Tell me where are the good times? [x5]

I'm a lost cause,
Sailing off course. [x2]

The Blanket Truth - action action

So try, so try, December you,
Even though it seems so hard to do. (ohh)
So try, so try, December you,
Even though it seems so hard to do. (ohh)

So goodbye, a good luck to all.
Just thinking about the things,
That I just can't sleep away,
Today.
Today,
Time will keep the best secrets;
Not honestly,
Not honest indeed,
Not honest indeed,
So try...

Time will stand still;
Let's vanish off,
And ignite into the atmosphere.
Let's trip to the country,
Where we'll run forever,
Break it down, never.
Run from the city,
Not from your problems.
Run from the country,
Not from your problems.

So try, so try, December you,
Even though it seems so hard to do. (ohh)
So try, so try, December you,
Even though it seems so hard to do. (ohh)

Let's build up movies about our dreams.
A figment of speech,
A figure just won't modernize,
Or stabalize our infinite lives.
Led by infinite fears.
Leading us to believe,
That time is the king.
Own up to your life,
So try.

Time will stand still;
Let's vanish off,
And ignite into the atmosphere.
Let's trip to the country,
Where we'll run forever,
Break it down, never.
Run from the city,
Not from your problems.
Run from the country,
Not from your problems. (oh)

So try... [x3]
So try try...
So try... [x5]
Oooh, Try, oooh, oooh,
I'm so blue yeah, I'm so blue.

This Years Fashion - action action

Don't cut your fabric to this years fashion

Head trip on the scene again, pumping in the veins of the rabid mouths to feed.
Head back, obsolete...trapped with the secrets that i can not keep today

Head spun by a thousand spiders, sucked into their late night infomercials
Rolled back with every beat, bound to the bond on a greater feature feat

You got it
Intrusive
Errattic
Elusive
Your heart aches
Infliction
Sporadic in an aging contradiction

I have a dream
It's them and not me
You lied, you lied, you lied, oh my
Sugar my life,
Sweaten my tea
You lied, you lied, you lied
You've got your hands around my throat
You've got your eyes inside my back
You lied, you lied, oh my

Drug Like - action action

I'm an angel with broken wings,
Who's poisoning the night
With love, from me to you
I'm having an episode,
Do you want a small bit part?
I think you might, i hope you do

Oh baby go so slowly
Nowhere, nothing, quiet softly

The world falls apart, in just seven days
It sinks to the bottom, in oceans of rain
The cure is so clear, the blood is astray
And everyone dies, except for the rain
...and i think that I'm starting to scare myself

I hate myself, and i want you to die
So insincere, swallowing ice
And it all will render useless
Welcome to enhancement by affiliation
Time swept by in a hungry nation
And everybody's dancing to get it off their chests
And everybody dies, but no one gets to rest

Go slow for the angels will fall
For the bitterness of this orgy god

Half lives with secular law
Suspended in a drug like, in a drug like
In a drug like, in a drug like state of bliss

Photograph - action action

Pretty darling, stop running down my street
The tears are dropping like a nuclear meltdown
I never meant to let it come to this
Can we blame it on timing not chemistry
All night long, i'll sing the same somber song
Attack my decisions, and the horse they road on
Everything seems to be less that zero
A mascara hero with a heart of zinc

I never should have kissed...
I never should have...

And i never should have kissed those lips before
I never should've let you out my door
But now i'm stuck with your photograph

The words you chant, i never thought they'd
Be so true, dancing in my head
So pause this moment, till we meet in our next life:
A black tabby housecat, a bottle of xanax
All night long is one repeated love song
When have i became this tree
Till we meet in our brand new world
I'll count the rings, if you tie a string

Basic Tiny Fragments - action action

I remember a happy moment,
With the paint covered clouds above.
You were there,
Just as meaningless as me and you.
We are basic in disguise
We are stuck in these moments of time
Will we let go
And let the past pass us goodbye again?
Our lives are fearful from sin
Fooled in believing that there is wrong
But what is wrong,
And what is rightfully our sins?
Words are meaningless and trite
Parallel to our attractiveless lives...
-we are little fragments,
Tiny fragments, just floating in the air...
We are simple, simple creatures
I remember my most zen moment,
It was when you found me dead.
Next to you i laid.

Bleed - action action

You're not listening, so why should i talk to you
Why should i understand, why should i follow through
Out of luck
Out of time
Out of hopelessnes
And sleepless nights ahead
Not asking for this strange situation
Not asking for this trite vaccination
Not asking for this genius complication
Are you loving
Or leaving
Or lying
Or dying away

(i've got to get the hell out of here,
Get my shit off the ground, knock this place down.
So far, far away, i just bleed...don't ask me to repeat...)

Instructions On Building A Model Aiplane - action action

Fill the blank spots in, with childish gibberish
What seems to be the difference...as we only will digress

Can you figure it out, develope your moment
Rejection is bliss, ignorance is almost

And i need you more today
Let's talk about the government
Development
Then you walk away
Don't walk away

Your so invincible
So damn consumable
Oh just deliver it
Your so unbeatable
Quite so delectable
Even though impossible
Very much untouchable
Your so unbeatable

And you go...

Anyway you figure it, we will all die soon enough
The trick is to be the first

A Simple Question - action action

Good morning sunshine:
Form this dead letter day.
I suppose i should have seen this
But blindness prevails
An easy game girl
Just a simple plan
You said you plan to hurt
But that just means i'll hurt you

I'll ask you that aged-old question
Who am i to blame this all upon
Maybe we'll see each other in our next life
Maybe we'll choke on it, or maybe we'll just be friends...

(and i do, for you)

Alone again in this room
Untill the 15th of june
Adding over all the arguments
We had in vain
If you would ask girl
I would give it my touch
We're playing tag across the united states
Halfway undone

I'll ask you that aged-old questionp
Who am i to blame this all upon
Maybe we'll see each other in our next life
Maybe we'll choke on it, or maybe we'll just be friends...

Just take this feeling
I've asked you a question
And if you see me.
Forever a question...

Eighth Grade Summer Romance - action action

Hold your knife against my throat, cut me deeper
Feel the blood drip down your arm, darling
I paint this picture on the back of my mind,
But it's fading quickly like an eighth-grade summer romance

The sleeping pills are mixing nicely with red wine
Catch them all, before panic hits monday
Trapped like rats, and oh the water is rising
We'd use the life boat, but we gnawed through the tubing

You're a drug, like the gun inside my mouth
I know it's wrong but i just can't spit you out
Happiness is a warm pun
And i love the taste of steel tonight
I know it happens for the rest of your life
Not asking, just doing darling

I know it happens for the rest of your life

I paint this picture on the back of my mind,
But it's fading quickly like an eighth-grade summer romance

Let's Never Go To Sleep - action action

Alone again, sociable
Just a walking contradiction for the diction to beat
I'm so dumb, so very numb
I can't tell who, why, or what i've already done
Incomplete, did you get any sleep?
A photocopy of a copy of a copy just leaked
Stuck in this room, stuck in your dreams
One, two, three, fourteen times a day

Can you see, you remind me of
How i use to be
Let's say goodbye to our maybes
Incomplete, just a texture of
How life really is
And it seems to feel so real

Eys wide shut, faded to white
A little conversation never seemed to stray this far
Ignore my thoughts, is that blood on your sleeve
A needle dropped inside my basket of great, great ideas
Susceptible, open and bare
Going under in the seven seas of long blank stares
Your so damn it, i'm so damn hot
Let's burn it out, and be forgotten forever and out

Time and circles, it's the way we are
Held by the legions of our alcohol
Bound to the faintness of an hour glass
Open boxcutter, empty cigarette
The meaning of life will come in a dream
This is why we must never go to sleep
Confined to our habits, rinse, wash, repeat
Open boxcutter, empty cigarette

Broken - action action

In just about any given situation,
I'm wasting my patience.
Even though my heart is open,
I'm broken, so broken down

I defy the laws of science,
And physics, well even logic
Come on, let's erase my existence;
Annihilation, exuberating

Feel it running on and on
I've broken down

I'd swear my mouth is open
It's open; I'm screaming
But still my world is silent
So silent, so alone

No more decaffeinating
I'm done procrastinating
Consider this my resignation

Everyday, everyway, always losing my mind
Spinning round in rhetorical questions
Perpetually wasting my given time

Four Peice Jigsaw Puzzle - action action

Starting to come together
Starting to all make sense
We began to blossom, so perfect
I'm starting to understand

And you have made this cove for us, again

If this was any other day
I'd surely just walk away

Working it out so perfect
A picture worth a thousand words,
Can't believe we took it, so wasted
I'm starting to understand

And i gather all myself, for you

Don't Cut Your Fabric - action action

Don't cut your fabric to this years fashion

Head trip on the scene again, pumping in the veins of the rabid mouths to feed.
Head back, obsolete...trapped with the secrets that i can not keep today

Head spun by a thousand spiders, sucked into their late night infomercials
Rolled back with every beat, bound to the bond on a greater feature feat

You got it
Intrusive
Errattic
Elusive
Your heart aches
Infliction
Sporadic in an aging contradiction

I have a dream
It's them and not me
You lied, you lied, you lied, oh my
Sugar my life,
Sweaten my tea
You lied, you lied, you lied
You've got your hands around my throat
You've got your eyes inside my back
You lied, you lied, oh my

The Short Weekend Begins With Longing - action action

Are you up in the middle of the night trying to figure out where things went wrong
And they did
Just another semi-bummer weekend
It seems hard to find a home for the words, though i'm sure they make complete sense
In your head
It's a light hearted movie with a splash of calamity

And when i dig too deep / when i get too high
I never ask of you, i'll ask of...
And when i talk too much / don't talk enough
I never ask of you, i'll ask of...
And when i fall apart over the weekend
And the pills begin to stop working
And when i'm not in line / just too aligned
I never ask of you, i'll ask of...
I never ask of you, i'll ask of...

And just like that, we'll snap our hands and all will turn to white,
On white
Does everything have to be such a tragedy?
Lets sum the world into one clever line,
And sell it back at double their asking price, or triple
It's a crazy world, someone should sell some tickets

I saw you again last night, sidewalking junkie filled with hazy thoughts, oh yeah
Beginning of my snow storm daydream
You're a drug hit to my sanity an acid trip to my well being, yeah, yeah, yeah
As the docters prescribed, a well-mannered lad
In the ever growing well-mannered fad
