Staring at your picture on my wall
How'd you get so small?
Staring at your picture on my wall
How'd you get there at all?
Your face is a mystery thats tangled up inside of me
tangled up...
Speak to me beyond the page
that holds you up there in its frame
in its frame...

Shadows

Dead man fell back into the sea
“Shadows will not follow me!”
Dead man fell into the sea, forever with his dignity
Fire hollers far below, break the bridge so hollow
and shadows will not follow me
Deadly oils deadly burns “We shall ride to victory!”
Deadly oils ash and urn “Patience now so wait your turn!”
Deadly oils deadly burns “We shall ride to victory!”
and shadows will not follow me
All of the dead will be risen
to march toward the angel of light
for he hath ended with wrath he tormented
those who were willing to fight
Giveth and thou shalt receive
great rewards for purity
Mark the sons of wicked deeds
“They shall learn humility!”
Swear upon your only king
“You won’t harm my family!”
And shadows will not follow me
I knew always this day would come!
“Black crows shall not follow me”
They embrace the shadow’s drum
“Follow you to glory”
Serpents snap with fiendish glee
Death will reign eternally
And black crows shall not follow me
All we had then now is lost
in the fires and ash of Gehenna
purging the souls of the wicked
for their wicked ways

Baby, do you remember?
Were you watching when they took me away?
Vodka on your sweet lips
drowns out this legal circus parade
And I know you’re not as frightened as you’re going to be
And I hear the guards yelling
and echoes of the sirens in the street
Baby you know that I’ll find you
through stone and brick and pain - I’ll stay on my feet
And I know you’re not as frightened as you’ll be
when you burn in hell, my darling love
From above where the new moon burned a black hole while the dust hails allegiance to the sky
And I asked you why?
Why such a long face?
Why, evening rain can’t hide these tears
This time I’ll take no chances
with fences and dogs, its been too many years
And I know you’re not as frightened as you’ll be
when you burn in hell, my darling love
I’m free

Hollow Bones
02:42
|

|
Gray and hollow bones
hold melting clocks and broken stones
Doors drift in the sea
their doorknobs rust their keyholes whisper
“Drop me down on buckled knees!
Mankind - Earth’s disease...
Do you see that hole in the sky?
Tell me do you see that hole in the sky?”
Pinch me pinch me I must be dreaming
Grab hold of the ground
heave and twist the world around...
The train is right on time
I’ll meet you baby at the end of the line

Red Hill Road
03:16
|

Every sunday we would leave our homes
go into the woods of rocks and stones
and we would laugh while we would roam
Red Hill Road
Lets make love beneath the trees
‘cause life lets us do what we please
And we would laugh while the West Wind would blow
Red Hill Road
The four sisters greet us at the bend
Together they are stronger
than they ever could have been
Ferns emerge from fallen trees,
redwoods grow in families
and we would laugh while the West Wind would blow
Red Hill Road
The day grows dark its time to leave
our second home beneath the trees
hold my hand, I can’t make it alone...
Red Hill Road

Every time you talk about what you claim
to know about your life
it makes me laugh so hard
I fall on the ground and twitch and writhe
I can’t believe that you believe
there’s truth in all you’ve read
Can’t believe how little thought flows inside your head
And I know its so easy to blend right in
and I know its so easy to give up and give in
but who will remember you?
Tell me, who will remember you?
I never knew anything about you
just watch the piano strings shatter against my hands
I watched you disappear
into the empty mass of multitudes
you think you’ve got it but you just don’t understand
Just use these three chords (they’ll make you a big star) and make sure you dumb it all down (We want it so bad) Catchy chorus and good beat! (Don’t have to think far)
Anything to keep the masses amused and going mad
Who will remember you keep dancing with the devil
and all I really want is something thats real
Shove dollars down your mouths its too much to swallow... a hollow zombie can you even feel?
The fury’s building it will boil into tomorrow
A landslide airplane crashing right into the sea
you know its too late the madness will follow
crumbling down and down its already inside of me
Every time you talk about what is truth or right or wrong
there’s nothing you can do but realize
its been this way all along
I can’t believe the things they tell us
its their view its not mine
I can’t believe that this is progress
just because we’re moving through time
And I know its so easy to keep your eyes closed
and I know its so easy to do what you’re told

Morning
01:53
|
|||
|
Woke up on the floor, somehow I’m still alive
Termites eat the wood... its too early for the cries
Today the sun is red, the sky is made of ash
fires keep on burning piles of cash
Today we mourn the morning, Pompeii engulfed in flame
The calm and quiet warning is leaking through the drains
The walls are standing. Today the money’s all gone
Awoke one fiery morning and we can’t see the dawn.

These are the fields of our fathers
who lived by the grace of the land
We fished and we drank from the river
which you have now clogged with the dam
They call us pagans, heathens doomed to hell
but we all know too well these are lies that they tell
Fight with me my brother
light the fires for the others
We’ve been shot and sickened
by their plagues and their guns
Send them far away to the places they came from
In the dead of the night we surrounded the walls,
captured the mission gate
They’re strangers to this land
and we’ve come to understand
the plague they have set upon us
Clutch your axe and your arrow
light the fires watch the flames grow
Avenge the plagued and the dead
Take the priest to the river
see if his god delivers
safety from our arrowheads...

Visions of fire and rust.
Charred melting sky crumbles bone into dust
Reach them and tell them the news.
Hasn’t yet happened but I know its true
Beware the Ides of March -
Caesar was stabbed twenty times in the heart
And why am I no different? Does no one learn?
Continue this way and I know you’ll all burn
Wait til your brain snaps
look all around watch the system collapse
Come sit here with me under the willow tree
laugh as the vision comes true
Oh what can we do? I’m here watching you
but I can’t see the stars at night...
Why does no one believe me? Is it all in my head?
Why does no one believe me?
Can you deny what I’ve said?
Visions of fire and death
I can’t keep shouting I’m all out of breath
All of my pointless art...
and the end of days won’t cure my empty heart
Reach them and tell them the news.
I’m always here watching over you
Come sit here with me under the willow tree
laugh as the vision comes true

Don't Listen
02:58
|

|
Don’t you listen to me or what I have to say
Know that its only from my mind
and I’m outta my mind
the words are only mine
There’s nothing more I can do
no other way to give you a clue
How am I supposed to help?
Broken bottles all over your shelf
And you wake up ripped and torn
but I told you to do whats right
Don’t know whats right anymore
I got a hammer breaking all of the lights
And you gotta learn to think for yourself.
You gotta learn to live for yourself
The hacksaw dares you, his eyes just stare at you.
Please stay by my side tonight
Suppose I could cut myself... whats that? A cry for help? Keep from suicide tonight...

Death Cycle Blues
03:27
|

I’m sitting on the edge of your sympathy
sitting on my sense of time
Wrestling with the waters of history,
wrestling with my only crime
and I’ll catch up with Satan again,
I’ll ride on until I’m damned
Who knows how the horrors combine?
Who knows and for what cause?
Write it off, write down the line
woe to those who give it pause
On a death cycle riding through the flames,
peddling my life away
On a death cycle made of bones and chain
I got nothing else to say
and I'll catch up with Satan again,
I'll ride on until I'm damned
I’m drinking my whiskey in hell today,
scowl in the face of the night
Dining under bars of my cell today,
howl under pale moonlight
On a death cycle going hand in hand,
life will face the other way
On a death cycle going round and round,
all things on earth decay
and I'll catch up with Satan again,
I'll ride on until I'm damned

When I was just a young boy
my great father he had told me
of the holy and the wicked
in the world (our only world)
The wicked may be wrathful
may be real or invisible
maybe even standing there
knife to your heart (your beating heart)
Nets will open hands are reaching
coming for me hear them screeching
Demon spirits as the moon wanes
shattered dishes run through my veins
What do you want with me?
Remember all the crying of the people
“Moshe save us! From the torment and the evil
in the world (our lonely world)!”
My father! You can help them
with your blessings and your wisdom
even while we’re living in this wicked house
(this haunted house)
Footsteps louder ancient prayers
thick black water ghosts don’t care
Demon spirits swear by your king
you won’t touch or harm my family
What do you want with me?
Now swear upon your king.

Oh, why’d you go? I miss you so
Why’d you go... why’d you go...
Telephone pole standing so alone...
your silhouette on the sky
And in my dreams you were lost amidst the storm and static
A thousand faces filled the places endless city streets
You’re the missing star within my soul’s constellation
Big blue and cold, the world is a barren sea
Follow me to warmer shores...

Five four one? I’ll take them on I’ll take anyone
Five four one? I’ll take you on I’ll take everyone
Come on tell me what to do -
what to feel and what to think
What I hear and how to dress
how to see and what the rest’s about
I don’t know anything anything at all
take you on, I’ll take any foe
I’ve forgot everything, everything at -
I’ll take it back, take back all you’ve got
I’m so happy can’t you see? Living in my plastic dream
Magazines work just like mirrors -
who needs love when there’s so much to fear?
OH ME OH MY OH WHY OH WHY?
I CAN'T FORGE THE ANSWERS FOR MYSELF
CAN'T FORGET THE ANSWERS FOR MYSELF
You can’t run and you can’t hide
thrashing crashing out to dry
Spinning heads hang on the walls
Don’t you know its much to big to fall?
I’m sore, run (everything hurts everywhere)
but I’ll get back up scratch up hack up slack up
YUP YUP YUP.
Time for fun! (Freedom chaos ordered chaos)
Take all the notes mash up every one!
And I can’t wake from this painful life,
as beautiful as it may be
Tell me my friend, what is stranger -
the dreams of sleep or of memory?
Five for one... coming after all of you
I’ll take them on but I can’t escape them anymore
I CAN'T ESCAPE THEM ANYMORE
