The Merger

There's an avalanche falling just behind your wooden eyes
And your shovel is lost but you're too cold to realize
There's a glacier at your heels and it's catching up to you
And speed doesn't matter but you still try to
run, run, run, run, ...
Through the blindfolded street with your backbone in your mouth
You don't know it yet, but you're trying to make it south
The smell in the air says, "don't stop and don't care"
But you're too far now, too far to feel anywhere
Something's gotta give but won't give it to you
That's when I found you and told you the truth
Business as usual, it's just business as usual (x2)
There's a fire in your bones with its hands tied to the wheel
The fuel is low and ammunition won't make a meal
Some things you never want to learn how to do
But it's too late for that, you already stripped the screw
With blood, blood, blood, blood, ...
I've hunted you long enough to have respect
Our parallel paths will cross and I mean to intersect
Two brothers, two strangers, too bad it has to end
I do you this favor as your closest unknown friend
Business as usual, it's just business as usual (x3)

Right Place & Time
03:14

I'm the right place
I'm the right time
you get yours and
I'll get mine
I'm the right place
I'm the right time
don't give up
go stand in line
you could be happy
or die die die
have some faith
I'll eat you alive
I'm the right face
I'm so fine
let's get together
and stand in line
I think you're pretty
I guess I'll sigh
you keep your space
I'll keep your spine
Does it matter what you do?
Lightning strikes where it wants to
No matter how much you might chew
Scenery still clouds the view
Is it really up to you?
You can try if you want to
Play it straight or go askew
Use a nail or use a screw
Does it matter what you do?
Lightning strikes where it wants to
Hey, you, over there
Do you want to go somewhere?
Just stop having so much fun
And you just might get to be someone
Sit around and wait some more
If you're good enough you might get a reward
Just keep waiting and waiting and waiting...
People who eat people are the luckiest people...
I'm the right place
I'm the right time

All Smoke & No Fire
03:42

We buy the very best distractions
Inventing meaningless actions
We go to see and be scene
Taking baths in gasoline
We try to horde our fractions
We lie and make it a fact, son
We know what you don't mean
Falling down like dry dead leaves
Give me a light (x3) and turn away
Sit on the T.V. and watch the couch...
Now try to think and open your mouth
We cry without compassion
We puke and call it fashion
Failure is around the bend
So I cover my eyes and be my friend
We sound like a page being turned
But feel like a book being burned
Like bats we try to scream
Cuz it's the only way that we can see
We blur all the lines
And we fog up the windows
We're bored and beautiful
The blinds are never closed
Look away if you can
You'll just see someone else
Upside out and inside on
You try so hard to get
Up and at 'em...
It's time, so
Sit on the T.V. and watch the couch....

Robotic Luddite

Robotic luddite, you kiss just like a crucifix
Automatic stylite, go fish with your ethics
Romantic troglodyte, your necklace is a bodice
Your eyes caught by the lack of light, you piss on the mattress
Full of spit and out of spite, you hiss without finesse
The world is turning but you don't know how
And you think it's cool that you don't know how
Like it or not you're standing in line
At the back by your own design
Robotic luddite, you kiss just like a crucifix
Narcotic socialite, your heart is filled with shit
Don' t take take take take take take take take your time
Shake shake your ass while you're still in your prime
Make make make make make up you're mind
Just shake shake shake shake that ass real fine
Keep it going

Black Blood
03:52

Check out Nadine
Dressed in the latest craze
Wrapped in red and her open veins
It was too too much to to take
So she got herself a blade and made an earthquake
The angels sighed and her heart did dream
About the sound of voice that she'd never need
It said. "Bleed, bleed, bleed"
Blood is the new black
There goes Francis
Dressed to the nines
The King of Romances
He bleeds so fine
He's got great hair
But he can't be saved
Lying in the puddle that his body made
He took a wrong turn at the last kiss
The girl wasn't his and her man got pissed
And the greener the heart, the harder the pistol whip
Blood is the new black
Remember Billy
Dressed in his uniform
Camouflage like a sandstorm
For minimum wage he could be a slave
But for a tiny fortune could be something brave
So he signed his name on the dotted line
Boot camp, then overseas, no time to whine
Car bombs and land mines
Never got to be a hero
But he met the divine
Blood is the new black

Atlantis

There's water in the streets
It's coming up the stairs
It's staining our sheets
And we're leaving in pairs
Don't give up
Just give up
We've lost our seat to an uneven share
We've become obsolete do we even care
We've lost our seat to an uneven share
We've become obsolete how much should we care
There was a time when we used to build things
Now we put our hands in our neighbors' pockets
We used to be the brightest beacon
But now we can't see for the light in our sockets
They're adding up the fees and using our air
We've lost the receipts and forgot our prayer
We're looking for our feet; we're looking for a spare
But more important what should we wear
We can't even breathe; we wouldn't even dare
To ask for help; the future just swears
We're choking on our teeth; our tongues are not there
But it's OK; check out my hair
There's water in the streets
It's coming up the stairs
There's water in the streets
It's coming up the stairs
Don't give up
Just give up

Magnet Kisses

There must have been magnets in our mouth
To make a kiss like that
You bend my heart around your wrist
You wear it like a finger wears a fist
Addicted to your tragedy
A trophy you blame too loudly
Your hand on your head and your head in the dark
I've got some guts to spill
You've got some nerve to kill
Such a like, totally sweet and awesome vibe
Yeah, I think I just might maybe try
You bend my heart around your wrist
You wear it like a finger wears a fist
Addicted to your tragedy
A trophy you blame too loudly
You got your hand on your head and your head in the dark
You try to turn into yourself
You pull another date from the shelf
Won’t you please take it back
And clean the blood from the bath
Won’t you please let me down
You always give and get back
Won’t you please take it back
I think I just might maybe try
I’ve got my hand on my head and my head in the dark

Delicate Chains

Oh you waste yourself
You do it so fine
I can taste myself
In the wet corners of your eyes
This city makes you feel old
Before your time
But that's OK
Let's pour another glass of wine
We make up plans and goals
But we end up at the bar
Filled to the brim with familiar, smiling scars
Never leave your tears unattended
Don't hear what I said, 'cuz I meant it
Everyone's afraid to be offended
Trying hard to be too independent
Everything here is an ending
So let's start again
I can take you away
And you can bring me back
Just try and lift this weight
And let the world turn away
They will never change
And nothing could ever break their chains
Their delicate chains
Their delicate chains
Their delicate

Here & There
04:20
|

Dreamless night and sleepless days have cured us of ourselves
And here we are antiseptic and clean
But what now, what now, what now, what now
Where do we go, where do we go, eerily slow, where do we go
Multiply and grow, the war is winning, don't tell me we're there, we're not there
My dear, I fear we're in the headlights again, drunk with words, thirsty for silence, we brought this on ourselves
Rivers of stone making pictures in the recoiling sun, the moment's never here, the moment's never here
It's not a fight if you don't fight back
