Million Gunshots

i need a new direction
i need a place to stand
instead of a million gunshots
i've got no mask to wear
i need a new connection
i need you in my hands
there's gonna be hell
i need a new correction
i need a reprimand
there's gonna be hell

Dust Descent
04:21
|
|||
|
the dust descent
of anger left unspent
the voice in my mind
every word of it a lie
possess the seed
assimilate and breed
spread like a weed
to kill off everything
it closes in like the walls
something perfectly evolved
to seek out pain
to sigh and kill itself off
eyes like beads
lick their lips and bare their teeth
thawed from the freeze
to find out i don't have what i need

All In My Mind
05:17
|
|||
|
I'll take bruises from the fall
and I'll make another desperate call
though the path may lead to the better places
they're all in my mind
it's you...
it's you...
Some say I shouldn't think at all and it
kills me backed against the wall
the pathways lead to the better places
it's all in my mind
it's you...
it's you...
they're all in my mind

Melete Thanatou

it's so much like dying
breathe in the air
just like the last time
and i can't repair the failure's advice
a familiar past life
leave it all
believing all we have is lost
believe it all
leaving all we had
all that i know
all that i try
is how i held you up
all that i am
all that i have
haven't i helped enough
leave it all
believing all we have is lost
leave it all
believing all we had is gone
leave it all
believing all we have is lost
believe it all
leaving all we had
so much like dying...
just like the last time
breathe in the air
just like the last time
i can't repair
the failure's advice
just like the last time

Decaying Information
03:49
|
|||
|
holding on
til the fires have gone
and the beating
of another bleeding heart
left on the lawn
she relies
on the easy life as
another quest for answers
and the demons self-prescribed
dry to the kindness and
the poorest advice
still it keeps scratching at the door
for you to let it go outside
holding on
to the siren's song
it reminds us
to deny this
sinking shipwreck we've become
the blackness of night
with the shadows confide
keeping secrets from the sleeping
as they lie by candle light
silence arrives
and were out of time
evading distant radiation
from the sky
highlights invite me inside your mind
decaying information
fading one last time

Cold and Frightening
05:39
|
|||
|
it's haunted
cold and frightening
in the darkness
someone has escaped
and he's seeing over us
and waits
in the room
to blow it all away
and it's hard
because
the world is right
in keeping silent
nothing left to fate
and its hard

The Ink Spills
05:50
|

|
in the smoke
underlined in red
she began to choke
and fell from the ledge
so suspenseful
as the tendrils
tend to fence her in
pulling at the limbs
the defense is resting
the moment at hand
the maggots infesting
in the note
it was finally shed
like an old overcoat
that was cold soaking wet
so forgetful
as the ink spills
it pretends to hint revenge
pulling at the limbs
the defense is resting
the moment at hand
the maggots infesting
you got to wait for it now
and its weighing you down
you got away with it now
and its weighing me down

Futile Arrangements
04:56
|
|||
|
turn around
do not act surprised
do as you're told
and reach for the sky
the warning sounds
won't get out in time
the careless words
heard through revolver fire
hit the ground
tensions running high
unfair resolve
paired with apartheid
cut them down
scissor crystal eyes
the warmth of guns
in the hands of a child
ensnared and dishonest
when everybody's watching
the err of all
is terrible
angry goddess
created in her likeness
they won't obey
they won't obey
futile arrangements

Medicine
04:10
|
|||
|
see those eyes
bearing down on me
running into that which
i would paralyze
see the lights
loving every moment
i wouldn't know
i'd give it up for her
breathing out
now that you came in
i'd lock the door
but defeat is better than reprimand
reaching out your hand
giving it all to the world
your inner thighs
spread the lies
like it was medicine

Time To Die
03:38
|
|||
|
what have I ever done
to fail you for so long
all that I have ever loved
has melted in your heart
how could I have opened up
when falling out of touch
what inside made you run
I wasn't there enough
I cut your naked body down
carried you across town
in my arms back to bed
to rest your broken soul
and you swore it all once more
its not my time to die
barely awake you supplicate
you choke on my remorse
there you'll waste and suffocate
this whole world I found in you

The Golden Sun
05:56
|
|||
|
lights of lithium
line the golden sun
we have fought
for what we are giving up
for delirium
taking the rain away
smothering another fire
filling in a shallow grave
burying another liar
mass hysteria
the fear in us
these are not my thoughts
it takes a lot of us
but not enough
to break it apart
its so hideous
so piteous
this is not my choice
it takes a lot of nerve
under those terms
to make it out alive
help me can you feel it
tell me they're not there at all
i swear that i can see them
preparing to carry me off
the sight of your own blood
reminds you to be good
we laugh but for what
the trembling touch
of delirium
taking the rain away
smothering another fire
filling in a shallow grave
burying another liar
mass hysteria
the fear in us
these are not my thoughts
it takes a lot of us
but not enough
to break it apart
its so hideous
so piteous
this is not my choice
it takes a lot of nerve
under those terms
to make it out alive
help me can you feel it
tell me they're not there at all
i swear that i can see them
preparing to carry me off

The Actress
05:04
|
|||
|
out beyond the overgrown roses
they catch your face
everybody starves for your poses
in the frame
from the other side of all the action
you say that you will never go back
you'll learn to love it
precious as the overblown papers
they're secretly watching you change
throwing their own parade
i'd be ashamed
drifting off to other places
dreaming of the endless days
wishing that they never missed her
and left her this way
you'll learn to love it
they want you opened up like a present
to be kept out on display
a ticker-tape Polaroid canvas
strung-out exposed and afraid
they say its not like you need to
but say it like you're paid to be
you'll learn to love it
