Stand, fan, out in the wasteland
Silk, soft, slipping through my hands
Eyes turn, ashes to urn then it’s
Knees deep sinking in quicksand
Pulse quick, lose it to liquid
Don’t move, palms sliding slick when
All fails, no lesson to learn
Bad man’s burden to bury, to burn
And despite it all I feel so high
It lifts me off the ground
Hellfire from the sky
It breaks me up and down
Hands up, begging for mercy
Chest high, deep down and dirty
Stone gaze, never a flinch
Mouth sewn shut, and heads in a ditch
Sink, sink, just getting faster
Hold fast, not that it matters
Breath slips, just for a moment
Bastard sun, oh my god and my master
And despite it all I feel so high
It lifts me off the ground
Hellfire from the sky
It breaks me up and down
(Eye-ey-Eye-ey-Eye)
(Eye-ey-Eye-ey-Eye)
(Eye-ey-Eye-ey-Eye)
(Eye-ey-Eye-ey-Eye)
Kills me, never to know
Feet hits bottom in a shit filled hole
Last chance, pit of the stomach
Runs from the tongue to the tip of the sole
And despite it all I feel so high
It lifts me off the ground
Hellfire from the sky
It breaks me up and, breaks me up and down
To live where vultures dare and fly so free
Far above my earthly problems low
Unbound by gravity and bring-me-downs
What do they see, what do they know?

Fascist lines, clever minds
Underneath the moon
Sanded lines, warning sign
Gone but not too soon
A glass smash rattlesnake,
Quite the music makes
When I was young
I used to run and hunt, how fast I flew
But I had not yet grown my teeth
For what I was to do
And now I’ll come for you
All eyes and snout and run you down
My claws to peel and look beneath
The meat that I have found
30 long, long nights till I’m all in,
Can’t you feel it crawling under your skin?
30 long, long nights till I’m all in,
Can’t you feel it crawling under your skin?
Now I’ve grown cold, and big, and bold
And care not much for games,
The scars I wear, the scars I give
One and all the same
And then some day, with hair all gray
And eyes no longer bright
I’ll go with a smile that’s as wide as a mile
Out of mind, out of sight
30 long, long nights till I’m all in,
Can’t you feel it crawling under your skin?
30 long, long nights till I’m all in,
Can’t you feel it crawling under your skin?
In your eyes, I see the moon
Shed my skin, but it’s far too soon
And I don’t know what gets in my head
If it find you, if it finds you…
30 long, long nights till I’m all in,
Can’t you feel it under under under
30 long, long nights till I’m all in,
Can’t you feel it under…

I was the target while
She the assassin, my
Heart was a bargain that
She priced it at half, when we
Sat at the bar, that’s where
I made her laugh still, she
Aimed for my heart and she
Stepped on the gas, that’s when
All hell exploded, we
Dove to the bathroom, she
Slid into my arms and
We did a bad thing
Oooooooo…
Round and then round again, the
Clock’s ticking faster, this
Hindenberg headed for
Death and Disaster, you
Pulled on my chain like a
Rope from the rafter, you
Slammed the book shut, no more
Happy ever after
You got me marching to the drum that you beat
And grinned as you pulled the rug from under my feet
I cry,
I cry,
All the sweat, and the tears, and the stains on the mattress
I cannot forget you, I’ll just have to practice and,
Try
Try
Now that you’re gone, I just won’t think about you,
The weather’s much better now you’re not around and you’re
Going to lose it, you love me, you know it,
Your heart must be breaking, although you wont show it, you
Cry
Cry
Cry

Donnabella Manor

Wear your wall, you wear a smile, like suits of armor
Donabella manor, sick for satisfaction
Oooooooooo
Turn the lights off, shut the gates, and lock the doors
Donabella manor, anything could happen
Oooooooooo
I’ve been dancing in the dark as the dirty dozen echoes on her walls
I left my boots back by the door and did the tango through the halls
I crawled on all fours, and lay prostrate on her ornamental stairs
Traced her faults so tenderly, like fingers through her hair
I don’t know, I don’t know, I don’t know, I don’t what’s wrong with her ghost
Now it’s gone, and it’s gone, and it’s gone, and I’ll miss it the most
I don’t know, I don’t know, I don’t know, I don’t know, I don’t I don’t care
There, hurt them and go, go
Fuck and fight and fist and hurt and cry and try and rub some dirt in
Give em hell, give em hell, give em hell, Rome is burning
Burn it burn it burn it at all, pride before the fall, hit the wall, fuck em all
I don’t know, I don’t know, I don’t know, I don’t know

Float Away

Float yourself away
You were never here to start
Put your eyes into the clay
Put your heart into a jar
Laugh the night away
There ain’t nothing keeps you down
I know you play the fool so well
And everybody loves a clown
Oh no
Float away with the wind
Don’t look back, don’t look in
Float away, feel the sun
Just forget the things that you think you've done
Oh no
Throw it all away
Make a hotel suite a heart
Lock the doors and turn the lights off,
When you walk into the dark
So what’s left?
What’s left when all is said and done?
Was it the moments that were shared?
Was it the best of your intentions?
When you told yourself you cared?
Oh no
Float away with the wind
Don’t look back, don’t look in
Float away, feel the sun
Just forget the things that you think you've done
Oh no
I am nothing
I am gone
I am missing
When the morning comes
I am gone
I am gone
I am gone
Gone

There's A Storm

There’s a storm
On the edge of town
All the clouds
Start to gather around
There’s a storm
There will be a flood
Will it wash all the world
Will it drown us in mud
There’s a storm
Can you feel it still?
It might bring it all down
If it can, then it will
There’s a storm
Knocking at your door
Taste the air
As the rain starts to pour
There’s a storm
And it’s right outside
Future days
We may well not survive
There’s a storm
There’s a judgment day
If things don’t get better, if they don’t get worse…
I don’t know how I’ll live this way
