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




13. Day Tripper [Beatles Medley: Day Tripper / If I Needed Someone / I Want You (She's So Heavy)]
