Bird..... Ooooooooooooooooooooo!!!
The geek, with no beak: He's so weak he cannot speak! Vestigial wings And dwarven legs. A semper fi cranium that's got automatic eggs. His gaping maw Is geared to spew. He just might be a she So Birdette will do!! Go eat your eggs! Force fed, force fed. Go eat your eggs! Out of his mouth Straight at your head!! With purple pants, They start to tear I reach out with all my might to poke out an eye. I poke out an eye! My seven year old smile: Vanishing! Eggs, why eggs?! It's breaking my heart. It's hurting my nose. It's turning my skin green! Why did you have to be so mean? In my dreams I despise you More than you'll ever know. Even when I speak your name It makes me fucking choke! Bird...... Ooooooooooooo!!! Throw it back! 02. A Million Exploding Suns
I've forgotten my name
I'm sick and weak and fresh from sleep I crawl from a crooked bed with dirty feet and shaky hands the numbers on the clock read one-one-o-four-A M I've got time to clean myself then sell my soul again when I sleep I dream I dream I am awake or was it when awake I dream I am asleep I work, I shit, I eat, I sleep I'm inspected by the number 7 this can't be my life no this isn't me I don't know what's beset this change I barely recognize my own face in my mind something's just not right but in my heart I'm bathed in golden light Bathed in golden light! my eyelids still heavy, my pulse still faint I'm puzzle pieces, my memory's stained I feel strength swell, a day dream i'm shaking under this duality My pulse still faint I hear a strange voice but don't know what it's saying And in this moment seconds stop and I burst with clarity a wealth of love and hate gone blank for I finally remember my fucking name! I eat rocks and I breathe wind I've been around the world and back again I've lost the static and the grey is gone I've got the power of a million exploding suns! I am consumed by my might Blinded by light as I would be in night The void is holding me tight It doesn't feel right When will I ever break free? Within or without I'm chained by the dream The void is holding me tight It doesn't feel right Bright lights flood my eyes It's true Now I realize the perilous truth of a perilous life by my own device The strength of my high is the strength of my low Unless there's no me They both, they both explode 03. Manateen
I feel like im becoming a butterfly or a golden bee
My smile is like razorblades When I smile it cuts bloody deep my body is in the magazines my face on the TV my voice on the radio thats me in my dreams but when I open my eyes I see I'm just a piece of shit! A worthless coward A vapid whore A moral-less refugee Covered in sores A blithering sea cow Lost in its dreams Nobody likes me, yeah Nobody wants me at all Wet blue world, it fills me up I find I'm deep inside waves crash and I breathe water but I haven't died I won't come up I won't come up for air And beneath the waves I hide my head in darker waters and nobody sees I cut myself and hope to draw you in but even the sharks pass by someone please explain all alone I'm growing colder laughter like cancer over my shoulder mirrors like hatchets to the world of my face you know I'm a complete, I'm a complete disgrace I'm not a manateen Just leave me alone And beneath the sea I give up and I descend and I'm finally free And in the end wet blue world, fills me up fills me deep inside waves crash and I breathe water but I haven't died Never With a furious poison in my heart Will I return from the darker waters I let the tide tear me apart Never With a furious poison in my veins Will I return from the darker waters I won't hold my breath and wait for change I die It's a suicide My body swallowed by the big blue violence This is the endless tide I won't come up I won't come up for air tonight Cold and all alone I held my own, now I give up 04. The House Of Boo
Lights out, shadows bloom
crawling hands slide to me, across a midnight room I fear my blankets may not be the best defenses that I could muster still the chill beyond is like lizard claw calling from the hereafter silent things scream from silent dreams bang still the room is still yet I'm filled with a cold I'm terrified! pause cold i'm alone I pick up the phone but I fear that it's been disconnected I don't even check because I hear a breath and I know this is the end of me I'm going to hell A silent scream it whispers free from me my mouth is dry my eyes are wide I'm statuesque, petrified the room is black! my mind is redish I'm alone in the room but there's someone in my head Hungry hands haunt me in the morrow of the night I'm thinking, shaking, begging for a precious nite-light because I'm terrified! what should I do when the nightmares come true the lampshades have faces and the closets are cruel gasp and tremble, weep and drool Dawn's glorious light, a stale recourse in the empty cup I'm still seeing stars well that's all right it's like I'm already there seven dawns up, seven moons down I'll get to sleep some night soon that's all right it's like I'm already there 05. Heroes Die
(Instrumental)
06. Softer Sounds
The sheep, tonight they weep
Fear, for the feeding Gasp, clutched in groups No they don't No they don't hope These poor sheep tonight they weep Begging for death but they settle for sleep Sound of grinding metals always looming near by Their bodies are caged and now so are their minds Oh. These trembling things These poor sheep can't lay their heads down (no dreams of softer sounds) Blood is in the mud Trampled by hooves That constantly shake And nervously move No hope or ambition They stay with the group These filthy fucking animals They're just like you Animals We're animals And in the twilight swoon Under an empty moon The creatures stop their shake And plan a quick escape They're dancing on barbwire Fraught with curdled screams Messy skins and messy fluids Pave a road to golden dreams They move in a frenzy Across their mothers backs Out into the open They don't look back Sounds. It rots their minds, leaves them blind Sounds. It rots their brains, drives them insane No dreaming of softer sounds! 07. Octopus On Fire
Right now, in the heat of my head
A flower blooms that was already dead December's long gone But these fields are forever frozen And everything she said Burns in the back of my head Quicksands of silver Under dreams still glittering golden All along I sing this song It runs wild like a river inside A voice cries out sharp words of doubt If I take them to heart they make me bleed Everyday my attention strays Light like life it fades away The clock it ticks I turn my back I feel the surface bulge and crack Tick tick tock tick tock tick tick tick tock tick tock tick I want the change I feel the change Then post-metamorphosis where do the answers lie One above and one below with lions locked inside Then in silence they turn the key Setting all those lions free Then I hold my head up higher and higher Reach out tentacles to every desire I faced the sea and it's time for a change I am an octopus in flames Sinking underwater Sweating boiling getting hotter Bubbles burst between my fingers My breath is cracked and drawn Sinking like an anvil And facing several tentacles My eyes go black and pop red cherries The surface me is gone Gone I'm gone I'm mesmerized, a servant to the light I can't deny it With everyone standing here I'm a million miles away A change 08. Soaring Quails
(Instrumental)
09. Taken By Vultures
Taken by vultures, swooped down to the raping
Stolen by relentless talons Taken by vultures, swooped down to the kill Stolen by relentless talons Abandon with reckless Take me Weak and blood red from a broken beak Here comes the sound of dusty wings hungry for dead things Slaves! Masturbate to a single note Taken by vultures, take me away 10. A Rusty Glove
Tinker, pling, ding
My body breaks, the void screams Weary of hollow metals that ring of hollow life By hand and by hammer I give birth tonight Metal bend and metal scream Welding bright the circuit seam Weary of the hollow spaces between the twinkling lights I lost something along the way and it doesn't feel right Maybe I'm not falling apart but falling a lot Maybe I'm not completely circuitry but I can't stop I'm gonna fall apart! Coming close, I'm coming closer or maybe I'm not I can make you a sex machine that would be hot Break my nails and pull my hair There's circuit boards everywhere How long have I been in here? This is not my house Maybe I'm not falling apart but falling a lot Maybe I'm not completely circuitry but I can't stop I'm not a robot but I've got a mechanical hand I can steal the stars and put them back again Once upon a time, I had a broken heart Once upon a time, I just had a heart I limped when I was wounded, so I replaced my parts Once upon a time I had a heart but I'm not a robot but I've got a mechanical hand I can steal the stars and put them back again If I am a machine because my hand made heart Then why do I dream I'm a dinosaur tearing sheep apart Lightning fills me up, it tells me where to go Colors me and changes me, it withers me to coal Lightning tears me up, leaves me smoldering I close my eyes and hear her voice framed by vulture wings In the wires of my hand, I see my fate Cold and mechanical, squeaky with hate It clicks, whirs and I'm satisfied It's designed to fill that black hole deep inside I'm turning away from the path of soft skin to a path of mechanical sin Turning away from the warmth of gold to an empty machine that's broken and cold Click, click, click hollow rooms always consume Click, click, click dark and empty like most of the moon Click, click, click the things we do in the name of love Click, click, click secret machines and a rusty glove Sleep well mechanical thing, you were fun for awhile But now I'm going to go and get a burrito 11. Sand
Walk with me my monster, but close those crusty eyes
The sounds I make may be abrasive, but you'll be all right Turn off all your senses and pretend you're home Walk with me and you walk alone Yeah!!! At the sight of his scales You start to shake You can never trust a snake At the sight of his scales You start to scream You can't trust a fanged thing Grain by grain, so hot I've lost it Echoes peck and gnaw at me Creep, I crawl, shake I'm breaking Creep and crawl, they're chasing me Serpents! And I feel, so cold Like the world just might explode And if I open my mouth it will fill full of sand At the sight of his scales You start to shake You can never trust a snake At the sight of his scales You start to scream You can't trust a fanged thing It's safe to say I've finally lost it The wells gone dry and abandoned me Creep, I crawl, begging droplets Of anything to comfort me Thirsty Laying in a hot desert Bitten by a poisonous snake Soft venom floods my veins I have lost my heartbeat My poor pulse is quivering And I've lost control Descending to my ending A perilous black hole The rivers run dry and so has my veins I'm a filthy animal begging for change Nothing I do is going as planned Nothing's left of me but fucking sand The sun explodes, so slow I feel the flames and I see the snow All that's left of my mind is sea of sand And everybody's celebrating! I've lost my way Desperate for change Pursued by snakes Bearing my name I've lost my way My skin's dry and baked Fearing ill fade I'm the snake I walk with my monster, he beats me down Bestial and savage thoughts, his arms are long Can't get up, nothing's as planned Nothing's left of me but fucking sand 12. Lord Gold Throneroom
The lights are on
The tvs off The floors are flesh and silk But sinfully soft Skin glides over silk And silk glides over skin The penthouse is alive tonight There's people writhing in its veins Sunken in the masters chair Lord golds faces a blank survey Women pleasure men at the wave of his golden hand And turn to receive as it waves again The wine is fire The whisky's full of stars There's a deaf mute in a bunny suit Working the bar The lovers fuck They pulse and moan Passion paying tribute At the foot of a porcelain Sunken in the masters chair Lord golds faces a blank survey Women pleasure men at the wave of a golden hand And turn to receive as he waves again Still his eyes are like an empty carousel Promising pleasure but offering none! She needs him, Watching, gazing, leering blankly vacant worthless golden perfect Beyond these walls nothing exists Here there's flesh and gold and blood in the wine Outside there's barren emotional landscapes Here we drink, dream and cum inside Here there's no pain Here she comes Wash off the filth and bring her Shower her body with julep and incense Fill her with jewels covered in cum Sacrificed in his altar of passions The golden day has come The lights are all off now And the love growing louder The pink, throbbing and filling the room Indulging the inner, denying the outer She's brought before he His empty gaze it lingers He beats a cat's paw against a toy drum His golden will be done. 13. The Black Hole
I will not fade!
i might be a baby caught in the snow, but you know I will not fade! i ripped off my arms so long ago All these wheels, they seem amazing All these bombs must be ready to blow All this time I could have tried All this time I did not know The letters grow long and weary and build into a maze The dialects laid beneath drip from hands yellow-stained Inside the envelope a heart of golden sand Wrapped in snakes, clenched in a fist of a mechanical hand Give up and go away into the void Be silent and do not speak into the void Be blind and do not gaze into the void Be numb and do not reach into the void And if they want I'll come undone I might be amazed like a baby but I don't have those eyes Soaring quails sing of thier glories, vultures always lie In the deep the creatures weep begging to be fried Any change can be magnificent if you only try Face the stars or the abyss! I'll face the stars or the abyss but not nothing at all I'll face the stars or the abyss from nothing i can't fall All these wheels, they seem amazing All these bombs must be ready to blow All this time I could have tried All this time I did not know It's so amazing! |
