"But Home Is Nowhere (Demo Version)"

"But Home Is Nowhere (Demo Version)"



Twenty-six years and, seems like i've just begun,
to understand my, my intimate is no one.

When the director sold the show, who bought its last rights?
He cut the cast, the music, and the lights.

This is my life, this is eternal.
(How did I ever wake up here?)
Discarnate, pre-natural.
(My price to disappear.)
Absent of grace, marked as infernal.
(Ungrated in dead time, and left me disowned.)
To this nature, so unnatural.
(I remain alone.)

Twenty-six years and, still speaking in these tounges.
Such revelations, went understood by no one.

When the new actor stole the show, who questioned his grace?
Please clear this house, of ill aquired taste.

This is my life, this is eternal.
(How did I ever wake up here?)
Discarnate, pre-natural.
(My price to disappear.)
Absent of grace, marked as infernal.
(Ungranted in dead time, and left and me disowned.)
To this nature, so unnatural.
(I remain alone.)

Give me, something,
Give me, something,
Give me, something,
Give me, something,
Give me, something,
Give me, something,
real.

I Lay strewn, across the floor, can't solve this puzzle.
Everyday, another small piece, can't be found.
I lay strewn, across the floor, pieced up in sorrow.
The pieces are lost, these pieces don't fit,
pieced together incomplete and empty.

This is my life, this is eternal.
(How did I ever wake up here?)
Discarnate, pre-natural.
(My price to disappear.)
Absent of grace, marked as infernal.
(Ungrated in dead time, left me disowned.)
To this nature, so unnatural.
(I remain alone.)

This is my life, this is eternal.
(How did I end up here?)
Discarnate, pre-natural.
(These are the prayers to disappear.)
Absent of grace, marked as infernal.
(Ungrated in dead time, and left me disowned.)
To this nature, so unnatural.
(I remain alone.)

"Carcinogen Crush"

"Carcinogen Crush"



Speechless
Read the words between your lines
In isolation
Silence separates of what design?
I heard you speak
Words I know you didn't write
But I believe you, believe them
'Cause you spoke them again in my dreams last night

I swear to you I'm not the one
I swear so I'll become
Your only desire

Take a bow
You've performed exquisitely
Though the millions scream
I know you'll see
Each subtlety's understood by me

I
I would be as devout
As the high school sweetheart
That I never had, I s-s-s-s-s-s-swear!

I swear to you I'm not the one
I swear so I'll become
Your only
So if you are confined to me
I swear that you will be
So lonely (dreaming)

Your airs of grace, your airs of grace will fill me
Your airs of grace, your airs of grace will fill me
Your airs of grace, your airs of grace will fill me
Your airs of grace, your airs of grace just killed me

Oh!

I swear to you, I'm not the one
I swear so I'll become
Your only
So if you are confined to me
I swear you will be
So lonely (dream-like)

Dream-like
Dream-like

"Catch A Hot One"

"Catch A Hot One"



Let's tap your heart so we can paint the walls
and see if anybody likes the tone or the pain.
The hungry eyes waiting for life flash, now they're gonna see it.
Open your veins so we can make a pool and bathe
and see if anyone complains of the stain.
Let's strip you down so we can see you old scars.
Now you're gonna feel it.
Show me how to shine now.
Have you ever turned to dust?
I saw an insect learn to fly; its form was scorned.
Have you ever seen the kingdom of the flys?
I saw it stay in sovereignty.
Have you lost the sense of touch?
Have you ever turned to dust?
Let's lift you up so we can see how fast
you fall. We always thought that you could fly; now you'll crawl.
The lack of loyalty you thought you once felt, now you're
gonna feel it. Now show me how to shine.

"Cereal Wars"

"Cereal Wars"



Get up early in the morning, going to the store.
Post, Kellogs, General Mills?
It's the cereal war.
Fucking store never has the monsters and they never get more.
Post, Kellogs, General Mills?
It's the cereal war.
I hope sexual chocolate is in stock, it's got a condom in the box.
I'll try some cocoa puffs
today who the fuck is Sonny anyway?
Some say Dino's are the best, they've got more marshmallows than the rest.
There's not a lot of cocoa in Cocoa Krispies, and always stay away from
Wheaties.
Now it's dinner time and I'm going back to the store.
I had some Erkles, liked 'em a lot. It's
the cereal war.
I wish I were Calvin or Hobbes, and then I could try Sugar Bombs.
The soggies will never get
Cap'n Crunch, I guess I'll have Crunch Berries for lunch.
Breakfast cereals need to be sweet, that's the only kind I'll eat.
Give me sugar, not nuts and twigs!
Do I look like a fuckin' squirrel to you?

"Charles Atlas"

"Charles Atlas"



You've seen it all a thousand times (you've seen it all a thousand times),
you've heard it all before (you've heard it all before).
You've danced the steps, you wrote the rhymes.
So passe, too many times, but you're hollow at the core.
Two generations passed you by (two generations passed you by).
You think there's nothing left (you think there's nothing left).
But look around and you will see what our world has grown to be.
We are the now, not the past.
Can't you even try to see the strength with which we've built ourselves to be.
I know that you will never be able to destroy what it's meant to me.
You've never seen the likes of us (you've never seen the likes of us).
We are your novelty (we are your novelty).
A brand new trend with mass appeal, don't like the truth, don't like what's real.
You're jumping into something you'll never understand.
You think that it's a passing phase (you think that it's a passing phase).
It's our entire life (it's our entire life).
You revel in rebellious ways, rebellion that the media made.
When you change your channel, we'll smash your t.v.
Can't you even try to see the strength with which we've built ourselves to be.
I know that you will never be able to destroy what it's meant to me.
Can't you even try to see the strength with which we've built ourselves to be.
I know that you will never be able to destroy what it's meant to me.

"Chicken Song"

"Chicken Song"



Chicken's good for the body
Chicken's good for the mind
Chicken's good for the funny bone
Chicken's easy on the eyes
Here we go

Yum-Yum chicken bone
Bock Bock Chicken
Yum-Yum chicken bone
Tell all your friends

Granola bar - nice and chewy
Granola bar - my best friend
Granola bar - how I love you
Granola bars don't beat the kids

Yum-Yum granola bar
Chew-Chew-Chewy
Yum-Yum granola bar
Tell all your friends

Chicken and granola bars make a nice meal
Especially when you're all alone
It's something to eat when your wife's in the shelter
Because she ran into the door
One Two Three

Yum-Yum granola bone
Bock Bock chewy
Yum-Yum granola bone
Tell all your friends

Yum-Yum-Yummy
Bock-Bock-Bocky
Slap-Slap-Slappy
Tell all your friends

"Clove Smoke Catharsis"

"Clove Smoke Catharsis"



Lean against the night and laugh as I try to scale the walls.
Ingnored futility fills the air. You're only there to watch me fall...
If only pure sweetness was offered, why's this bitter taste left in my mouth?
If I could catch my breath just to exhale, I'd know that I held it in to long...
From above comes a faint smile, a new vantage such a view. Familiarity know disowned.
Just sit and stare as I walk away.

"Coin Return"

"Coin Return"



I have slipped and I have fallen so far down I can't get out.
Overwhelmed by my doubt.
Things I said I'd never do I've done.
Those I said I'd never be I've become.
I have broken - I'm still breaking - cracked and wrecked, beyond repair.
I can see that no one cares. Forgotten.
Recalled. Smacks me in the face every time I fall.
I cannot disregard, with each new fall I hit twice as hard.
Would you be there for me? I would.
I would be there for you. I would.
Would you look up to see?
I would. falling forward and looking up.

"Cold Hands"

"Cold Hands"


How I regret what I must do but you've left me no choice.
Though I still strain I can't recall the beauty of your fey voice.
Now that I've heard come through the walls a song I've heard many times
I must return all you gave me in the company of swine.
We had found sacred ground
Oh, We had found sacred ground, you burnt down.

I thought you sang so tastefully but now I see I was wrong.
Your serenade turns to filth when I leave so, please, cut the love song.

How I regret what I must do but you must be replaced
For I cannot go on suffering such simple and common tastes.
When you met my eyes you sang to me of passion, pain and will.
When I blinked you turned away to kiss the hand of filth.
We had found sacred ground
Oh, We had found sacred ground, I'll burn down

I thought you sang so tastefully but now I see I was wrong.
Your serenade turns to filth when I leave so, please, cut the love song.

Tell me who will hear your voice, your song,
When the smoke has cleared and the lights are gone?
Tell me, who appears when I'm gone.

[x2:]
I thought you sang so tastefully but now I see I was wrong.
Your serenade turns to filth when I leave so, please, cut the love song.

"Consult My Lover"

"Consult My Lover"



You've got something to say, or so you say to me, then you receive a blank stare.
You've got something to say of importance and gosh, that's really good to hear.
I'm proud of you, so proud of you, I'm proud of you, I'm very proud of you.
I'm proud of you, so proud of you, I'm proud of you, I'm very proud of you.
You've got some S.P. Something to show to me. Well, I have seen it before.
I can't compete, I can't impress you. I guess I'll show you the door.
I'm proud of you, so proud of you, I'm proud of you, I'm very proud of you.
I'm proud of you, so proud of you, I'm proud of you, I'm very proud of you.
I'm proud of you, so proud of you, I'm proud of you, I'm very proud of you.
I'm proud of you, so proud of you, I'm proud of you, I'm very proud of you.
