1. Skip It
Sucker
2. White Slavery
I make a call
So far to fall
Restless craving
Inundating
The summer snow
But it's not cold
Once it's tested
Thus infected
I've lost myself again
I've lost myself again
It's a nightmare
But it's clear
It will end
But when?
The break of day
I rot away
With every breath
I pray for death
(Death)
I've lost myself again
I've lost myself again
It's a nightmare
But it's clear
It will end
But when?
Let me say Pepsi generation
A few lines of misinformation
Watch your money flow away oh so quick
To kill yourself properly coke is it
3. Sinus
4. Everyone I Love Is Dead
Seems three years though maybe four
Someone drops dead whom I adore
You love someone, there will be grief
The kiss of death, lips of a thief
Goddamnit
A dusty stack of photographs
At times I cried but mostly laughed
Commit the past into blue flame
Acrid smoke cowardly shame
Goddamnit
At times I'm truly terrified
'Cause dope and booze don't help to hide
They're used to mask a weakling's hurt
It's just like painting over dirt
Everyone I love is dead
Everyone I love is dead
(All dead)
Life's a game I cannot win
Both good and bad must surely end
The mirrors always tell the truth
I love myself for hating you
Everyone I love is dead
Everyone I love is dead
Everyone I love is dead
Everyone I love is dead
Goddamnit
Goddamnit
All dead
All dead
All dead
All dead
All dead
All dead
All dead
All dead
All dead
All dead
All dead
Goddammit
5. Who Will Save the Sane?
Periodic tableware
Psychotropic science fare
But who will save the sane?
Some beings just can't change
Now crawl on by
A fake tear in your eye
And think isn't he strange
Pseudogasmic chemistry
Necromorphic apathy
But who will save the sane?
Some beings just can't change
Now crawl on by
A fake tear in your eye
And think isn't he strange
Physical laws unapplied hamper my quest
Unsurreal world of unfailed HIV tests
Der ubermensch warning of pi techno junkies - 3.141592653
Come on boy
Tell me
Tell me
Tentative ambulance date bound for G ward
Bear trap psychiatrist bait chew my paw off
Unmercilessly we will take you away to slumber
But only if you can recite Avogadro's number
Come on boy
Tell me
Tell me
But who will save the sane?
Some beings just can't change
Now crawl on by
A fake tear in your eye
And think isn't he strange
Now crawl on by
A fake tear in your eye
And think wasn't he strange
6. Liver
7. World Coming Down
She thinks I'm iron man that I don't feel pain
I don't understand why joy must be feigned
I'm so fortunate yet filled with self-hate
That the mirror shows me an ingrate
I could easily start pointing fingers
Since the blame is mine it always lingers
Like the truth it lies in my reflection
Though this can't go on there's no question
Yeah I know
That my world is coming down
Yeah I know
I know
I'm the one who brought it down
Brought it down
Bring it on down
Now quickly pass the days long is the night
Lying in bed awake bathed in starlight
Better to live as king of beasts
Than as a lamb scared and weak
I will deny my role as a human
Holding myself hostage with no demands
It's better to burn (to burn) quickly and bright
Than slowly and dull (and dull) without a light
Well I know
That my world is coming down
Now I know
I know
I'm the one who brought it down
Brought it down
Bring it on down
8. Creepy Green Light
This Halloween
So unlike any other
Her final words
Don't be afraid
Of the green light
Of the green light
Green light
Baby
On muddy ground
I'm lying drunk on her grave
Where I must wait
Until she wakes
The soil splits
Greenwood's ground will quake beneath me
And so shall take into the earth
To the green light
To the green light
Baby
The autumn air
Thickly fills my lungs so sweetly
Reminds me of her smoky breath
With wine and this bouquet of maple and oak leaves
In death or life we'll always be
I find myself drawn to her shadow domain
I find myself drawn to her shadow domain
I find myself drawn to her shadow domain
Ah
This moonlit night
Late October's swirling fog gloom
And as promised my love did rise
From the green light
From the green light
Green light
I find myself drawn to her shadow domain
I find myself drawn to her shadow domain
I find myself drawn to her shadow domain
Ah
Quiet
Quiet
Quiet
9. Everything Dies
Well I loved my aunt
But she died
And my Uncle Lou
But he died
I'm searching for something which can't be found
But I'm hoping
I still dream of Dad
Though he died
Everything dies
Everything dies
My ma's so sick
She might die
Though my girl's quite fit
She will die
Still looking for someone who was around
Barely coping
Now I hate myself
Wish I'd die
Everything dies
Everything dies
Everything dies
Everything
(No why?)
Oh God I miss you
(No why?)
Oh God I miss you
I really miss you
(No no no no)
Everything dies
Everything dies
Everything dies
Everything
10. Lung
11. Pyretta Blaze
Beautiful yet dangerous
Thermogenic luminous
Like a moth drawn to a flame
I'm the same
All cremated equally
As a spark still I knew
I'll be lured be consumed
She a pyre incarnate incinerate
An inferno turned to flesh
You are the first will be my last
Will be my final words
Said she (ah) pyretta blaze
Say the words I long to hear
Pinch bite kiss suck lick and sear
In a pyromantic way I'm her slave
Living for her to ignite
You are the first will be my last
Will be my final words
Said she (ah) pyretta blaze
12. All Hallows Eve
Fall fires burning neath black twisted boughs
Sacrifice to above
Smoke swirling quickly towards misting clouds
Offering of this blood
Into the flames and without shame
Consumed with howls and screams
Pumpkins grin in their despair on all
Hallow's eve
Hallow's eve
Cruel be the wind as it quells my words
I shout out to the rain
Incantations I so hope you've heard
That you live again
From deep earth brings forth rebirth
Witness but I shan't believe
From below a chilling glow on all
Hallow's eve
Hallow's eve
Be spiderwebbed and glazed in frost
She wears death beautifully
More stunning now than in her life
On a bed of autumn leaves
Into her eyes and quite surprised
I whispered don't you leave
Sing macabre songs and we'll dance til dawn on all
Hallow's eve
Hallow's eve
Saint Lucifer hear me praying to thee
On this eve of all saints
High be the price but then nothing is free
My soul I'll gladly trade
Ahhh
Hallow's eve
Ahhh
Hallow's eve
Cold is the night in so many ways
Luna round full and bright
Deep be the mud on the fresh dug graves
On yours I recite
An ancient spell I know so well
Success is guaranteed
I'll bring you back from where you've gone on all
Hallow's eve
Hallow's eve
Saint Lucifer hear me praying to thee
On this eve of all saints
High be the price but then nothing is free
My soul I'll gladly trade
Ahhh
Hallow's eve
Ahhh
Hallow's eve
