1. Gasoline Finger
Touch me with fingers of innocence
Unknown peril amid the dark stream
Careless digits betrayed clinging passion
To burn the senses of flesh
Helpless hate inside of me
Impotence of action chemical cleansing
Then strike the match
And forget the past
Never again
Unclean
Under the skin
Burning
Fuel of purification
Gasoline
Filthy memory whore
With me forever wilted flower
No trust part of me has died
Desire the price paid
Action without thought
Taunting me in my dreams rotting flesh
Then I strike the match
And forget the past
Never again
Unclean
Under the skin
Burning
Fuel of purification
Gasoline
Can't you see this hell you've put me through?
The grafted skin. I've seen what's not meant to see
I'd rather burn my filthy hand than let the putrid fetor stand
I put it in the tub of gasoline and lit it on fire.. lit it on fire
It hurt so fucking bad, but now I can't change it
Well you, you could have warned...
that something's lurking in the darkness of the valley
The smells of a dying land
The wreaking wounds of a million slaughtered beasts
Rotten asparagus.. Rotten asparagus
You watched as I sank in deeper
and thought that I wouldn't care
2. Human Antidote
I am the opiate
Oft dismissed illusionary chain
Cold confidence injected
Seeping through a bloodless vein
Twisted infection whispering lies
Faceless connection walk through walls
Force-feeding apathy quietly cuts the string
I am the antidote
Conformed cure encapsulated
Unseen truth forbidden
A point of light in death’s cloak
Flickering synapse memory
Singular healing’s born in the will
Seeking life within life, without
I am the new machine
Within swirling black
A drifting beggars dream
Reclaim a stream of caustic thought
Bound in flesh and sinew
Mortal pull against the soul
Here is the consequence
Peeling blackened skin
Capillaries torn asunder
Convoluted theories awash in agony
Voluminous skies house retribution
Ashes await you flesh machine
Ashes await you frail flesh machine
3. No Question
Here in a place where we don't want to face our weakness
All in a time of panic and deadly desperation
Living in the season of a restless mother earth
A touch afraid, a trace ashamed
Colored outside the lines
There is no question in my mind
We're all fucking lost inside
All in a state of desensitized shock
Never to awake from this digital nightmare
Living at the brink of a nervous meltdown
A touch afriad, a trace ashamed
Cut outside the mold
There is no question In my mind
We're all fucking lost Inside
Inside
We're all in a space where we cannot face each other
We're all in our towns where we put up walls between us
Living all alone in our crowded streets
A touch afraid, a trace ashamed
Out of step and falling
There is no question In my mind
We're all fucking lost Inside
There is no question In my mind
We're all fucking lost Inside
There is no question
In my mind
4. The Great Machine
Lost a trace of me inside the great machine
All taste of better self swallowed for tomorrow
Defy that which pleads for comforts of company
Wry and fallow, give up, fight the impulse, let go
Nothing
Forever thoughtless without me
Nothing
Dead and lifeless just like me
Irrelevance brought to action in attraction to a void
Solitude with only thoughts and paranoia dreams
Slow speak careless shuffle with end, without purpose
Forsake the world outside
Rebuke my fate, detatched
Nothing
Forever thoughtless without me
Nothing
Dead and lifeless just like me
Nothing
Godless action pushing though between the sit and smile
Tethered to the copper trace within the dual-stage god
Forever thoughtless without
Dead and lifeless like me
5. Paralyzed
Too late for your tired desperate pleas
There's a man in the dark at the end of the street and he's coming for your ass
One glimpse can bring you to your knees
When he smiles the sun won't shine
Breathing in to freeze the time
No, this time it's immolation
The blade is sharp and it's already talking
No, the whispers twisting to the sky above
Unravels falling down like fists
Bits of bliss this soul resists the taking
Get down just like I told you before
The entity of liquid glass will now unlock the final door
The silver serpant's shining in the eye
It's tongue sharpening and sings
No, the whispers twisting to the sky above
Unravels falling down like fists
Bits of bliss your soul can't resist the taking
6. I Remain
Crushing my hopes in silence
In a fit of maniacal rage
Displacing them all
With your cold malevolence
Smashing with stones of despair
Pour on molten mistrust
Testing the temper
Steel forged in blind devotion
I remain
I will remain
When your demons have passed
When hell is far away
Dignity torn, lacerated
With your ravenous strength
Pulled to shredded pieces
But not so divided
Spirit hurled to concrete walls
Shattering doom as fragile wood
Shocking blast of impact
But cannot be so splintered
I remain
I will remain
When your demons have passed
When hell is far away
Shrink, shrivel, drained
Eaten from within
Pale, palsied, frail
Writhing, weak, and wretched
Your will-less scorn has bore through my bones
But still I remain unbroken
Miserable yet unbroken
7. Fear Itself
Unconditional surrender to illusionary forces
Unavoidable terror strikes directly at the heart
Totally illogical
No apparent reason
Retreat to safety in solitude
A man afraid to live
Away from misunderstanding eyes
Eyes that do not see inside
Prying and perplexed
Cannot see the terror hidden by the flesh
It comes again
It always finds
Debilitating fear itself
Leaves him worthless on the floor
A man afraid to die
Peace will come now and again
A calm that feels so wrong
Silence of the pounding pulse
Nothing left but waiting
Waiting
Waiting
When will it return?
It comes again
It always finds
Debilitating fear itself
Leaves him worthless on the floor
A man afraid to live
Finding no comfort within his skin
Convulsing with every heartbeat
The world becomes smaller
Friends become fewer
The enemy’s within
Gripping fast upon the heart
Tenaciously piercing
Retreat to safety in solitude
A man afraid to live
Peace will come now and again
A calm that feels so wrong
Silence of the pounding pulse
Is it gone for good?
8. A Demon's Best Disguise
The world is in flux
Poison on the wind
Lungs filled with bile
Pointless to breathe
Crosses are spreading
Prayer passing through
Teeth clenched in passion
Mind closed to question
Pushing
Pressure
Battering the walls
Steel and will pushing back the storm
Shaping
Changing
Never anymore
Everburning angel's
A demon's best disguise
Action to reaction
Choice without choice
Burning for the ending
Easing of the guilt
Life born to everything
Everything to lose
Silver tongued devil
Blood in the mouth
Pushing
Pressure
Battering the walls
Kill you with a thought
Just to satisfy
Shaping
Changing
Neverending war
Everburning angel's
A demon's best disguise
My guilt, My hate, My pain, My fear
Your loss, Your life, Your love, Your fault
Flames bring absolution
Ashes ease the soul
Pyres mark the cost
Innocence is the price
A path so straight and narrow
Narrow as sin
Act of purification
Guided by the light
9. No One Will Hear Us
10. The Path of True
