Shall we go down beneath the waterfall?
Raining thunder, where we can
Make a place to hide
Our splintering bones
Oh now we’re seeing red
Fetching the crown to
Adorn my lover’s head
We buckle too, when the flesh fails
Wanting, waiting, on vengeance to free her arrow
It’s a blind shot across our starlit kingdom
Our splintering bones
Oh now we’re seeing red
Fetching the crown to
Adorn my lover’s head
They don’t, they don’t know
They’ve got no common sense
We don’t, we don’t, we don’t
Have to be so defenseless
But we shatter too, when the flesh fails
And I’ll be right here, I’ll be right here with you
They don’t, they don’t know
They don’t, they don’t know
You don’t, you don’t know
The weight I carry
You know it don’t come easy
So won’t you be sweet
Oh fortune, please, won’t you be sweet to me?
Our splintering bones
Oh now we’re seeing red
Fetching the crown to
Adorn my lover’s head

Riptide

Riptide, pull me closer
You can pull me under
A hex on my head that makes me
Ever the fool, ever the fool
Who will build over this home of mine?
Riptide, pull pull me closer
You can pull pull me under
Jenny, Jenny, could you have been saved?
Such a pity, the mess you made
With those lovely hands
Sink your white fang into me
Rip my throat out, leave me gasping
Death to all men, who wrote op-eds
Lamenting how you kept your clothes on
The riptide will pull pull you under
You can pull pull me closer
Do you want to watch the transformer blow up?
You thought a bomb had gone off
But it wasn’t Armageddon
After all that rain, it’s no surprise
That the river rages and the waters rise
And the roads we know are going to take our lives if we’re not careful
I already spun out once or twice
Riptide, pull me closer
You can pull me under
A hex on my head that makes me
Ever the fool, ever the fool
Ever the fool, ever the fool
Ever the fool, ever the fool

The grifter rolls into town in a black Cadillac
Pulling at the skin of your face
The very second that you got a taste
I wouldn’t know what it’s like to be so connected
And I just don’t need anymore friends
Yeah I just don’t need anymore friends
Even at your best, you’ve got no common sense
It’s just a simple “yes or no” to pass the test
When you stick your fist into my magic hat
You think you’ve learned the trick
Are you sure about that?
So reliable, always no time
Who needs an analyst when you’ve got style?
So far as you can tell, you know me very well
And there’s not much to know
You’re seeing what you get
In my mental map, the highways look like cracks
And if I make a move I’m never coming back
So reliable, always on time
Who needs an analyst when you’ve got style?

Forever in You

Static figure in the living room
Hit record, see what it’ll do
It moves in stop motion
Camera off
Night wind carries you, but don’t get carried away
Cause we’ve got lots of work to do today
Hang onto that thought
Though it isn’t a lot, it’s not, it’s not
It’s not nothing
Someday, I’ll hang up my skin
Lie down, become another thing
Someday, I’ll hang up my skin
Lie down, become another thing
Stand down, you’ll burn on the spot
I’d kill for my family, blood for blood
I try not to hurt, but when I do
I make that hurt live forever and ever in you
Hahahahahahaha
Nail me to a wall, nail me to a wall
Nail me to a wall, nail me to a wall
In the fibers, there’s blood in the fibers
The intention of inflicting pain
Yeah, that’s all it really takes
That’s all it really takes
I hear you in the hall
Bring in the wrecking ball
Bring in the wrecking ball
Garden show me something’s growing
For I want only beautiful things
Stand down, you’ll burn on the spot
I’d kill for my family, blood for blood
I try not to hurt but when I do
I make that hurt live forever and ever in you
Hahahahahahaha

Go on and live your life in misery
We’re just moving our bodies to the beat
And I’m not evil after all
Go on and live your life in misery
You and I, we’re driving downtown
My mind’s eye is really delivering
Can I really lie, say I’ve got no regrets?
In this place all I want to do is be your friend
No contrition
No, no contrition
No contrition
No, no contrition
We’ll never be good, we’ll never be good
God, I hope I never see you again
Why can’t you behave?
You’re always out of control
Why can’t I calm down
Even when I’m alone?
It’s got me like…
Ooh, I wish things were different
Ooh, but the feeling’s not mutual
We all, we all
End up, all of us
In, in the
Middle of the spiral
If you say you’re sorry
I’ll say it too
No forgiveness
No, no forgiveness
No forgiveness
No, no forgiveness
Go on and live your life in misery
I’m not the wicked one
Go on and live your life in misery
Sucking the blood from my split lip
Sucking the blood from my split lip
Sucking the blood from my split lip, uh-huh
Fist in the drywall
Fist in the drywall
Fist in the drywall
You won’t believe who I just saw

I’ve become the invisible man
You won’t see me around no more
No use in photographs
It burns holes in the film
Hoping you’ll forget me
Sincerely yours
Elephant foot
Smolders under feral dogs
I hide from my own reflection
I fear my own shadow
Burning in my memory
Every mistake I’ve made
Human error that wrought disaster
Pinning the yarn, it must be someone here’s to blame
Logging the evidence, a devil with no name
Try to justify the means, you can’t, you can’t
Imprisoned in dying dreams
We are not built to last
Little green army men who melt beneath the sun
Elephant foot smolders under feral dogs

Parthenogenesis

Fire in the sky
Harkens the comet
Strike me, strike out my absent year
Gently
You could do worse
Glad we don’t live in their universe
Where there’s no kindness
Only violence, withheld
From my body, an un-life
Ooh, it gets me every time
So I retreat to the celestial bodies
That bless us all, our parthenogenic lives
Those who aim to always be well
Are cursed to see illness everywhere
So take it back, take everything back
No one can stay the hammer that falls on you
Fire in the sky
Opens the heavens
This is, this is your last chance
To escape
You could do worse
Shut yourself off from the universe
You need to sacrifice for the happiness you seek
We are signing off now
Everything is squared away
Now we retreat to our celestial bodies
That bless us all, our parthenogenic lives
Those who aim to always be well
Are cursed to see illness everywhere
So take it back, take everything back
No one can stay the hammer that falls on you
Your little black book is burning
The black plume will shroud the Earth
Look to the stars, look to the stars
We’ve followed them for as long as we’ve been around
Now they look back
Now they look back at us
Fire in the sky, here comes the comet
Fire in the sky, here comes the comet

Rage

Thought you were a looking glass
But you hid all you meant to reflect
And you hurt what you promised to protect
I wish I could fix you but I can’t
I have her now
And I’ll never let her be alone again
And you, you’ll never really leave me
But I don’t belong to you or the wolves at my door
I don’t want to go to the bullfight
Don’t, don’t, please don’t make me go
Maybe I’m made to maim
But it’s my choice alone whose blood will paint these stones
Oh my rage belongs to me
And I, I’ll never be alone again
And you, you never really loved me
I don’t belong to you or the wolves at my door
Oh my love
Oh my angel
How I’ve wept
How I’ve seethed for you
I’ve grown coarse and befanged
Pacing in the night
Turning over and over
Trying to get it right
But I’ll never uncrack the vase
And I’ll never get us out of this place
But I, I, I, I have her now
And I’ll never let her be alone again
And you and I are severed evermore
You’ll always be on the other side of that door

Demons of Accident

When the white sun rises tomorrow
The whole world will hear our glorious screaming end
Punctuated by hissing insects
The sweat of our brow and our lifeblood
Will water a new crop
I roll back the tape
I roll back the tape
I roll back the tape
So everybody’ll know
We don’t have to hide those demons of accident, no
We just have to try, try, try, try for tomorrow
Hold your children close
Tell them to quiet down
Tell them to close their eyes
It’s time for good children to dream
We’ll keep our dreams tucked in our chest
Where they’ll always be safe
I roll back the tape
I roll back the tape
I roll back the tape
So everybody’ll know
We don’t have to hide those demons of accident, no
We just have to try, try, try, try for tomorrow
Ooh, I love you
Ooh, I’ve tried
Ooh, I love you
Ooh, I’ve tried
Though I fear to die
I roll back the tape
I roll back the tape
I roll back the tape
So everybody’ll know
We don’t have to hide those demons of accident, no
We just have to try, try, try, try for tomorrow
We just have to try, try, try, try for tomorrow
