1. In Tongues
2. Seeded
Head flexed lung cold and hard as stone
Clothed in the anger suit don't need you all alone
Diving in and drinking freely
Bitter taste remembered easily
What thirst is satisfied
I feel myself slowly die
I search for the pain you'd have me feel
Lay myself open, what else would you steal
Tender look and tear after tear
Tear after tear after tear after tear
I see the lies that lie
Lie in your eyes
Lies so sincere
So so sincere
Plant the seed of misery
Blooms behind my eyes
Plant the seed of misery
Blooms behind my eyes
Plant the seed of misery
Blooms behind my eyes
Plant the seed of misery
Blooms behind my eyes
Your mouth whispers words that crawl into my mind
Gently until death
I eat the dirt
Choke on the stones that you bury me with
Plant the seed of misery
Blooms behind my eyes
Plant the seed of misery
Blooms behind my eyes
Plant the seed of misery
Blooms behind my eyes
Plant the seed of misery
Blooms behind my eyes
Tired and old too many times I been down this road
In my back seeds of misery have been sown
Row after row after row after row
Plant the seed of misery
Blooms behind my eyes
Plant the seed of misery
Blooms behind my eyes
Plant the seed of misery
Blooms behind my eyes
Plant the seed of misery
Blooms behind my eyes
3. Picasso Trigger
What's my crime
Now I crossed the line
You convicted me
Well I already done my time
You're the judge, you're the jury
Sing me my song
C'mon pull my strings
I'll try to dance along
I'll play the part
Feed me my line
You're the director
But you ain't got that much spine
Typecast in a role
Since day one
Should have read the label
Handle like a loaded gun
Itchy trigger finger
Curious all the same
C'mon baby, stroke me once
I'll only bring you pain
Flower leper kings
Dreams you dream
Into your heart
Shoot you full of my misery
Just like Picasso's trigger
Paint your portrait in shame
Put it all together
Bullet holes will sign my name
Cold gun metal love
Me now equals pain
Add it up your science says
Only true equation
One last kiss I leave you on a pool of humiliation
Accept my life it's trials and tribulations
You all look on with a morbid fascination
Well it's alright you'll all get by
Like fans of a bad car crash
See me burning down in flames
Twisted metal life and death
You won't even remember my name
Flower leper kings
Dreams you dream
Into your heart
Shoot you full of my misery
4. Albatross
Can you tell me when the day is done
Been beat down blinded by the sun
Searching my soul for the coolness of the night
Blue of my eyes bleached out by the light
Am I caught in a trap or just the bait
In a saviour nation living in a state of hate?
Beat of my heart pounding in my ears
Sound of laughter drowned by the sound of tears
Anger burning deep down in my chest
Dying daily living life to death
Why do we live?
Why do we die?
Seasons turn and fall from the vine
Live a life of sadness and pain
Come on now and face the strain
Why do we live?
Why do we die?
Seasons turn and fall from the vine
Live a life of sadness and pain
Come on now and face the strain
Smile on my face, relief in my heart
Fly away in the freedom of a gun
The last act was wrote right from the start
Trip to see the center of the sun
The end the end is just a part
Of the story of one
Why? Why? Why? Why...
Why do we live?
Why do we die?
Seasons turn and fall from the vine
Live a life of sadness and pain
Come on now and face the strain
5. Jesus Skrew Superstar
Stars falling in my eyes
Blinding, bleeding, hiding from my sight
Freight train blood rush blowing through my head
Try to remember what the ghost of God said
"As each nail pierces your flesh
Smile and love each dog to death
Find a ride down the line
Travel the unlit corridor of your mind
Until the questions don't matter anymore
'Cause the answers, not the questions,
Will cause you to whore!"
Staring at a picture of life
Pulls my heart out through my eyes
Force me to remember the only ties that bind
Which serve to remind of the hardened empty husks of the once loved left behind
In the dusted trails of tears
Long ago dried now turned trails of rust on an iron shell
That one time long ago contained an animal man
Innocent untouched green like the newest man in the machine
Full of thought which all too quickly turned to lust
Leading to a one way trip though never never land
Jesus Skrew superstar
Jesus Skrew superstar
Jesus Skrew superstar
Jesus Skrew superstar
Working a psychoerotic equation
Whose numbers plugged in are laced with dust
It's been so long don't ask me where I'm from
I'll have to trace the maps on your arms and pull answers from the chapped open hole in my chest
Which at best was only fit to die with the rest on a cross nailed to my breast
Punctured flesh puckered ready to accept to suck cold steel nail almost certainly blessed
The only absolute truth ready to pass the test of the holy dirty inside out church of emotional incest
Choking on messiah meat, fire & brimstone prayer for the gods of all regrets
Individual to all the rest
Accept the television truth by the mouthful
With a smile all the while
Fear twists your gut and you consume yourself from the inside
Jesus Skrew superstar
Jesus Skrew superstar
Jesus Skrew superstar
Jesus Skrew superstar
Don't try
To decide
You don't have a choice
With a voice that's moist with shit
With a voice that's moist with shit
6. Skrew Saves
I'm eating the dirt from under your fingernails
I'm sucking the spit off the lips of your face
I'll bite the disease from your broken body
I'll eat the anger out of your heart
And I'll drink the shame that weighs down your dirty soul
I'll make you free, give you wings to fly
Clear your clouded vision so you can see
Crawl up on the cross, take the nail for you
Rest your troubled mind throw your worries away
Looking for a saviour I'm here to save your day
Might not be what you thought I'd be
I'm a soiled lamb with a taste for the whip
Not a self-righteous cash fiend on a martyr trip
Save your prayers shut your mouth and give me some lip
Open your eyes
Down on your knees
Hold on tight
Just say please
I'm eating the dirt from under your fingernails
I'm sucking the spit off the lips of your face
I'll bite the disease from your broken body
I'll eat the anger out of your aching heart
And I'll drink the shame that weighs down your dirty soul
I'll make you free, give you wings to fly
Clear your clouded vision so you can see
Crawl up on the cross, take the nail for you
Don't treat me fucking royal
I'm not wearing no crown of thorns
I'm gonna save ya honey 'til Gabriel blows his horn
Now blow motherfucker!
This ain't the second coming or the third or the first
I'll be coming baby 'til I quench your thirst
Open your eyes
Down on your knees
Hold on tight
Just say please
I'm eating the dirt from under your fingernails
I'm sucking the spit off the lips of your face
I'll bite the disease from your broken body
I'll eat the anger out of your aching heart
And I'll drink the shame that weighs down your dirty soul
I'll make you free, give you wings to fly
Clear your clouded vision so you can see
Crawl up on the cross, take the nail for you
7. Season for Whither
Dangerous kiss to God mouth speak
An end to the story painted passion and blood
Crawl inside shelter from your storm
Plant the seed, cry out, tounges turn to dust
One life turns fast forward go
One life turns on blackened wing so
Fly the sky that won't be seen
For many more days or nights
And it dies slow, I die slow, I die slow
And I won't miss you
And I won't miss you
And I won't miss you
And I won't miss you
And I won't miss you
And I won't miss you
And I won't miss you
Absolute complete and forever
Walk through silence now whisper
Wasting away season for whither
And I won't miss you
I won't miss you
Waste away and she would say
Alone in a corner someone forgot to play you pay
And I don't have to smile today
'Cause I know it's the real thing
Absolute complete and forever
Walk through silence now whisper
Wasting away season for whither
And I won't miss you
I won't miss you
I won't miss you
I won't miss you
I won't miss you
I won't miss you
I won't miss you
I won't miss you
I won't miss you
8. Sour
Crawling the edge of my imagination
Sour hatred heavy on my breath
Rat in my belly gnawing hungry
Hungry for my head
Dusty ghost in my mind
Stroking ego cracked long ago
Cracked and broken now
Broken like the mind of a man feasting on the dirt and pain of a life, of a life lived wrong
Broken like the soul of a priest whose faith is burned by the sight of the famine his church feeds on
Cracked and broken like the hands of a clock but time, time moves on
However sour the lives lived long
There's a hole in my heart
My blood slowly slips away
There's a hole in my soul
My faith slowly slips away
There's a hole in my mind
My sanity slowly slips away
There's a hole in my world
My life slowly slips away
Crippled and sour now
Crippled and sour now
I will rot in this cage that is my heart
Crippled and sour now
I will rot in this cage that is my head
Crippled and sour now
I will rot in this cage that is my soul
Crippled and sour now
I will rot in this cage that is my world
My world collapse around life
Swimming the troubled sea of tears alive
Sour hatred heavy in my heart
Weighing me down, pulling me down
Restful peace awaiting me
Restful peace on the ocean floor
Crippled and sour now
I will rot in this cage that is my heart
Crippled and sour now
I will rot in this cage that is my head
Crippled and sour now
I will rot in this cage that is my soul
Crippled and sour now
I will rot in this cage that is my world
Crippled and sour now
I will rot in this cage that is my soul
9. Mouthfull of Dust
She speaks in dreams in circles she believes
Falling down she sees not what she feels
She speaks in dreams in circles she believes
Falling down she sees not what she feels
Life covered in dust
Worship lord of lost trust
She lay in darkness smashed with starlight
Pale blue dreams hide in her mind
Sunshine lost days of gray on hands of the clock
I was you and you were me
Inside of you I could finally see
Blast of wind from your soul
Cut my heart burned a hole
You know who you are
I know who you are
I know she knows the touch of misery
The scope of her emotion drowns in history
All the stones left unturned
I know she knows how to get burned
A mouthful of dust is worth a thousand words
A mouthful of dust is worth a thousand words
She lay in darkness smashed with starlight
Pale blue dreams hide in her mind
Sunshine lost days of gray
On hands of the clock
She speaks in dreams in circles she believes
Falling down she sees not what she feels
Life covered in dust worship lord of lost trust
I know she knows the touch of misery
The scope of her emotion drowns in history
All the stones left unturned
I know she knows how to get burned
A mouthful of dust is worth a thousand words
A mouthful of dust is worth a thousand words
Living her life off of lust
She lives a life already gone bust
Blindly breathing drowning in dust
She lay in darkness smashed with starlight
Pale blue dreams hide in her mind
Sunshine lost days of gray
She lay in darkness smashed with starlight
Pale blue dreams hide in her mind
Sunshine lost days of gray
She lay in darkness smashed with starlight
Pale blue dreams hide in her mind
Sunshine lost days of gray
On hands of the clock
10. Godsdog
Dog hungers for the meat of his knowing
Dog is dreaming
Dog is an animal is a man is a child
Dog is breathing
Help me find my way back home
Dog is dying
Don't let me steal your fire
Dog is dying
Walk the walk of life for a little while
Dog is running, running from death
Dog is dreaming
Dog knows the sickness and pain of his life
Dog is breathing
Let me rest my head for a little while
Dog is dying
Don't let me block your way
Dog is dying
Talk the talk of life for a little while
Dog is dying
Dog is dying
Dog is dying
Dog is dying
Dog is dying
Dog is dying
Dog is dying
