(2000)

 

Must have read a thousand faces
Must have robbed them of their cause
Sickened thirst, sickened thirst
Keeps it together
Soft white glow in the cranium
A bulls eye made sedated

Beware x 3

Must have read a thousand faces
And all these voices won't give up
Sickened thirst, sickened thirst
Glues it together
A catatonic leisure
At 1000 miles per hour

Beware x 3

So who's in charge here
Barking out loud so clear
Because I'd really like to meet him

So who's in charge here
In the rear view of this mirror
Because I'd really like to meet him

So who's in charge here
Barking out loud so clear
Because I'd really like to meet him

Uproar east, strike west

Have you ever tasted skin
Sink your, sink your teeth in it

Have you ever tasted skin
Sink your, sink into
Have you ever...

Beware x 7

The proposition
Handcuffed to the park bence
Hypodermic people poking
Fun at the living
Please lift the weight out of this
It takes the weight out of living
Are we just infants that are ripe for the training
The opposition
Can't feel the tenticle reach
Cuction cup the numb arms
Of the elderly
Please lift the weight out of this
It takes the weight out of living
Let these walkers trip on
Endless proof

Pattern against user - dilated
Bastard waiting for nothing
Pattern - Circus carny guarding
The gates of heaven
Like stuck in limbo abduction

Wormed our way through
Distant earth
x 2

This intuition
Limps with the cane of suspicion
Folding space in the crease
Of this page
It takes the weight out of this
It takes the weight out of -
Trickling the ticking of this
Grandfather clock
The opposition
Can't feel the tenticle reach
Suction cup the numb arms of the elderly

Bastard waiting for nothing
Pattern - Circus carny guarding
The gates of heaven
Like stuck in limbo abduction

Wormed our way through
Distant earth

And if this clock keeps ticking away
Will time be hesitated
Of all the minutes that were taken away
Will your watch be waiting
Sand falls through
Time portals
These landfills - immortal
And if this clock keeps beating down
Let the branded time keep playing
Of all the minutes that were taken away
Will your watch be waiting

Pattern against user - dilated
Bastard waiting for nothing
Pattern - Circus carny guarding
The gates of heaven
Like stuck in limbo abduction

Wormed our way through
Distant earth

Yes this is the campaign
Slithered entrails
In the cargo bay
A neutered is the vastness
Hallow vacuum check the
Oxygen tanks
They hibernate
But have they kissed the ground
Pucker up and kiss the asphalt now
Tease this amputation
Splintered larynx
It has access now

Cut away, cut away

The one armed scissor

Cut away, cut away

Banked on memory
Mummified circuitry
Skin graft machinery
Sputnik sickles found in the seats

Self-destruct sequence
This station is non-operational
Species growing
Bubbles in an IV loitering
Unknown origin
Is this the comfort of being afraid
Solar eclipsed
Black out the vultures
As they wait
Unknown, unknown
Unknown, unknown, yeah

Cut away, cut away

Dissect a trillion sighs away
Will you get this letter
Jagged pulp sliced in my veins
I write to remember
'Cause I'm a million miles away

Jagged pulp sliced in my veins

Taser taser kindergarten nap nap time
Pacifier pacifies, yeah it pacifies
Highchair crumbles unannounced
Like a draft from outside
Pacifier pacifies, yeah it pacifies
Beacon shined a light from the fau-fau-fau-faulty tower
Pacifier pacifies, yeah it pacifies
Colossal in tons, unknowing it wants
Pacifier pacifies, yeah it pacifies

Atop this podium built of fixation
They like to chock
All utensils are fixed on you

Cranes perched in scows
In the windows they would peek
Pacifier pacifies, yeah it pacifies
Snuck inside the sound of sleep
Pacifier pacifies, yeah it pacifies
Don't sweat the hemorrhaging gland
Don't sweat the hemorrhaging gland
Pacifier pacifies, yeah it pacifies
Feast upon your illness
And let the puppet strings sag
Pacifier pacifies, yeah it pacifies

Atop this podium built of fixation
They like to choke
All utensils are fixed on you
They like it
Atop this podium split in confession
They like it
Dripping with drool from the nerves of this sentence

Cloak a dagger plot
Her sovereign ma-ma-majesty
Pacifier pacifies, yeah it pacifies
Bullet ridden with vermin
Be it the peasant stark frenzy
Pacifier pacifies, yeah it pacifies
Held onto its tusks, naked and disrobed
Pacifier pacifies, yeah it pacifies
And the emperor still wears no clothes
Pacifier pacifies, yeah it pacifies

Intravenously polite it was the walkie-talkies
That had knocked the pins down
As their shoes gripped the dirt floor
In the silhouette of dying
Dancing on the corpses' ashes

Yeah, they had plans for him
They has spun the last of the pimps
Corduroy, satin nailed jewelry lips
While the guillotine just laughed again
Dancing on the corpses' ashes

Paramedics fell into the wound
Like a rehired scab at a barehanded plant
An anesthetic penance beneath
The hail of contraband
Dancing on the corpses' ashes

On my way
Nails broke and fell
Into the
Wishing well x 4

They had been defected and excommunicated
And all the pulses were subverted
And they made sure the obituaries
Showed pictures of smoke stacks
Dancing on the corpses' ashes

A vivid dissection that mocked
The strut of vivisection
A semi-automatic colonies
And a silencing that still walks the streets
Dancing on the corpses' ashes

In the company of wolves
Was a stretcher made of
Cobblestone curfews
And the federales performed
Their custodial customs quite well
Dancing on the corpses' ashes

On my way
Nails broke and fell
Into the
Wishing well x 4

Callous heels
Numbed in travel
Endless maps made
By their scalpels, scalpels

They'd call it a wasteland
Auslander plates
You know its armor was human
Drove stakes into the main camps
Eyesockets sank into
The back of its head again
This frequency was jet lagged
Yes the wrinkles mate
Was the owner's manual

Was the owner's manual

Frequent flyers in denial
And all the while
Emergency is evident
Revenants were the statues
Radar learning of huddles masses

Sutured all the patience
Of this nursing home
Emitted from the pages
Of this burial ground

Labor concentrated
In this sheepless chapel

They call it a wasteland
They call it a wasteland, baby

This could last us all a lifetime
Limbs intact, untouched
On the screen of a video tape
Confined to bedposts
We wait as lepers
Upheld at knife's reach
We covet all the status quo
This syringe will take a lifespan
It's filled with bait and tackle
Try and catch us if you can

Meet us at the corner
Of fifth and pontiac
Make sure that no one else is with you
If you wish to see them alive again
Then humor me with this request
Humor me with this request
In basements we will hide
Amnesia in our alibis

Pinch history
Feel the pinch blistering
Pinch me in my dreams
'Cause I'm still not listening
X marks the spot
On your calendar days
A beard half eaten smiled
Crawling with legs
Temper tempered temperature

Temper tempered temperature

You cut it, yes yes you cut it cut cut it

You cut it, you got it yeah

In infrared is how we saw
The night that lit up
Scarecrow plots
The nerve that pinches
Crippled hobbled
Frolicked flat on its own face

Jigsaw pattern
Dominoes left a trail
The whites of their eyes
Polaroids of the tale
For our amusement
We bring stares to the defendants
Mechanical panaceas
Absolved by history
Phonetic paralysis
Inflicted through morality
The seed that it nurtured
Was a wilted bouquet
Temper tempered temperature
Temper tempered temperature

Manuscript replica
You cut it, yes yes you cut it cut cut it

Yes, you cut cut cut cut it cut it
Manuscript replica
Ah you got it ah

Cut, cut, cut cut cut cut it

Squirming through cuts in a throat
Cut it, cut it

x 3

Squirming through cuts in a throat

Autonomous machete for hands
Warden and judge hide behind masks
Wet raindrop lull
Small rationing
Exhumed the rhetoric of
Break the weak in single file
Sanction this outbreak- a virus conspires
Push becomes shove, days become months
I seem to have forgotten the warmth of the sun

Feeding frenzy, it's contagious
Have trigger, will travel x 2
Feeding frenzy, it's contagious
Have trigger, will travel x 2
Single sparks are spectral fires
Have trigger, will travel
x 2
Feeding frenzy, it's contagious

Shackled the grapple and the sentinels found
Binoculars watch cardboard towns
Strung up in webs the net was flung
Over the auditorium
Slave trade the weak, no call to arms
Sanction this outbreak; a virus conspires
Push becomes shove, days become months
And I seem to have forgotten the warmth of the sun

Feeding frenzy, it's contagious
Have trigger, will travel x 2
Single sparks are spectral fires

We sample from the shelves
Tore a page out of this chapter
Deface the essays in the book that you're reading
We are the leaches that stop the bleeding
Deficit attention program
By any means necessary
Blare sirens to the library
Whisper instructions to the book - wormed glossary

Is it heavier than air
Tell us, is the black box lying?
x 2

Aeronautics hacked
The spine of the paragraphs
Prepare to indent, a coma that read
Floating in a soundproof costume
Here comes the monolith
Brass knuckles for the hissie fit
An abbreviation for the landing of fleets
In-in-in-incoming

Is it heavier than air
Tell us, is the black box lying?
x 2

Position the stitches
Like miles of torpedoes
Permission was hinted
Lungs that hollered in a sleeper hold

Is it heavier than air - am I supposed to die alone?
Is it heavier than air

Position the stitches
Like miles of torpedoes
Permission was hinted
Lungs that hollered in a sleeper hold

P
osition the stitches
Like miles of torpedoes

I'm just tired of counting bodies
Is this mausoleum tardy
Let's just paint you a pretty face
Flies dip tongues into tear ducts
In toothpicks fought unborn
Contusion is hungry
They still eat their young
Proto-culture null and void

All veins in highway laps
This breath collapsed again
This hex was delivered spent
Orchestra influenza
Drawn and quartered pets
It dwells and grows

This is the pocket-sized edition
Rapid sleep through benediction
Let's just paint you a pretty face
Museums mark their bodies down
And the tenants found
All the distance in their prefix

Contusion is hungry
They still eat their young
Proto-culture null and void

All veins in highway laps
This breath collapsed again
This hex was delivered spent
Orchestra influenza
Drawn and quartered pets
It dwells and grows

Fever bliss into central nervousness
Bitten on the entrance
I was bitten on the entrance
x 2

Bitten on the entrance
I was bitten on the entrance

Bitten on the entrance, bitten

Lark throated spit through beaks tonight
These gagging chirps were written in disguise
What's that sound?
Caskets floating
Hey you did you ever intend to sleep inside my tomb
A
nd you would you ever attempt to kick from inside this womb
Hey you would you ever attempt the excavation of these fossils
And in case you haven't noticed, we're already dead

This gravity is a quadriplegic horse and carriage

Pendulum swing through tantrum slits
This scalpel's gaze untamed won't feel romantic
What's that sound?
Caskets floating

In laymen's terms sewn through matrimony
