"Resolve"

"Resolve"


Don't leave me in this room;
The walls are closing in;
This is the space I used to say,
The line is drawn for you each day.

But every day you show
With sound of caving walls
Some day this song will have no pulse
And I'll cave alone.

But there we are,
Waiting for your answer.
Your arms speeded elation,
Beating out your salvation,
But when the tape stopped you were gone,

A half measure from home, home, home.

This week I recreate,
Edit you back into
The blare that could define you,
Coveted by few who knew.

The phone rings without pause,
This grief wills everyone;
All I have is a shitty song;
How could it ever be enough?

So here we are, in our final accord.
A mortician and his tools
Sonically bury you.
You could have chose another chord to resolve on, on, on.

"Restrain"

"Restrain"


How does it feel?
I embraced the years of patience
We are patients here
Another mile
Five years conspire against me
Seemingly endless time

Restrain everything again
To find the gun it takes so long, so long
To bide my time
Watered down
Living proof
Mind abuse
Restrain everything I am
Or pull the abscessed truth

Time to go home now
I hit the wall of deprivation
Lights out, bend down now
Another bloodshot
I know there's always a train

Restrain everything I am
To find the gun it takes so long, so long
To bide my time
Watered down
Living proof
Mind abuse
Restrain everything I am
To pull the abscessed tooth

"Ride The Snake"

"Ride The Snake"


Time to ride the snake, oh eyes gone dead and blank
I don't wanna talk to a stranger, I once knew
Single-minded hunt, to fill the bottomless well
I can't afford the labor of the feelings that you ask, you tax

[Chorus:]
Talk to me I can't hear you
Did you say, the pain has gone away
Just one question, will I see you at the show tomorrow
Or the snake

They could never tell, we are losing weight
They will all still love us, if they can not feel our hell
I'm not losing face, and they're not losing faith
We won't have to feel unless we quit, there's nothing more to hide

[Chorus]

Don't you know that he does everything, he buys the food and cleans
He knows what I need to go on
This is your last chance I can feel I'm fading and I want to disappear,
Disappear, there's nothing left to hear

[Chorus]

Will I see you at the show tomorrow, tell me then what's wrong

"Rifle"

"Rifle"


I'm not the one who is pointing the finger you hypocrite
We're not true enough to be part
But I speak of what I have learned
I haven't a flag to be burned

Born wrong

Descend upon us
You're only honest
But are you an artist
Or just a preacher to those
Who want to have everything you told them to see
Everything you told them to hear
We simply ask them to listen an express what we feel

Born right

Rifle, rifle, rifle me
Rifle, rifle, rifle me
Rifle, rifle, rifle me

Playing on their sympathy
You're the one waving the flag
You're the one starting the war
We're not compromising or trying to conquer

"Runs In The Family"

"Runs In The Family"


Used to recognize the gun in your hand
Promise, squandered
Used to understand the stake in your heart
Mileage, road worth

But it's hard to recognize the massive burden
Born of bad deeds
And it runs in the family from beginning to end It is just revenge

Everybody build a monument to pain
Flowers, fast cars
Everybody raise the thief in your heart
It's just a beating

And it sounds just like a million other tributes
Customs and demons
And it runs in the family with a million regrets
It's just (It's just revenge) revenge

Everybody build a monument to fear
Unsafe people
Everybody raise a paranoid child
It's just an over-stimulated mind

It sounds just like a billion people starving with no resource for love
And it runs in the family with a million missteps
It's just revenge

Everything echoes
Everyone emulates
Everyone is a victim of their blood
Everyday initiate
Everything echoes
Everyone echoes

All of us are running with the wolves
All of us are running out of life

"Rust"

"Rust"


They make your bed, don't they
Long ago they fought and died for faith - what's changed?
It's said that we've learned tolerance
To build more bridges, cross those rivers
Yet modern man enslaves his conscience
The undertow of blame still flows between

Give it birth to the machine
Hostilities of ancestry
Slow to understand the variance
Quick to judge on one aspect

Rust

We call them fools today
They will call us fools in days to come - what's changed?
In any age it's ignorance
He that is not with me, is against me
The river of pride swells too high
Washing those bridges out to sea

Give it birth to the machine
Too proud to love - too proud
Soaking in your fears - rusting away (away)
Never comprehending - always condescending me
Slow to understand
Quick to judge, quick to condemn

Rust

Carried them for years - stones that they once cast
Place the blame on them as if it were their past
Yesterdays distrust, resent, regret, disgust
Still we pay for their living - pay for their mistakes

(Always) Who will cast the latest stones of hate
(Always) Pay for their misgivings - pay for their living
Still we find that on the surface there is rust

"S.O.S."
(originally by One Man Army)

"S.O.S."
(originally by One Man Army)



S.o.s. in a state of emergency
The situations and the prying eyes
Looking at me
Is there no where I could go?
Somewhere you couldn't see
S.o.s. in a state of emergency
So let's say for a second
I've grown attached
My life's a mess
I'm total waste
And the pills that they gave me
Just give me the shits
I don't really work
I'm suppose to fit in
Let's say just for a second
I'm only kidding
I'm well adjusted
Let's say nothin' at all
In a state of emergency
I'm calling out to anyone
An s.o.s. in a state of emergency

"Sad Astronaut"

"Sad Astronaut"


As you sat on the bed
Moments from your end
Inconceivable dread
Inches from your head
I can't bear to imagine you

In that horror scene
One too sad to be
In my mind's eye I am there
Embracing you so scared
Now you kill me too
You killed me too

Decidedly willing to lie for you
Absolutely willing to cry for you
Ill at ease in saying goodbye to you
A part of me will never know

I am there again, intervals of red
An accomplice to
Things I couldn't do
In a fable disabled

I say words like foolish son
God what have you done
I'm a thin blue cliché, hopelessly
I'm a mouthful of doubtful

Decidedly willing to lie for you
Say again
Willing to cry for you
Finally saying goodbye to you
A part of you I'll never know

Looking through the spyglass in a punctured sky
While your garden died
You couldn't see the sky for your fallen stars?
Endless in your arms

You were still alive even as the sad astronaut

"Shaving Your Head"

"Shaving Your Head"


You used to watch them fall,
and you saw them distraught.
But the attention that they got,
it surrounds them.
As we watch them enslave,
you could only laugh,
what a looser, what a shame,
said we'd never play the...

And now it seems you haven't learned your lesson,
I guess you have to share the pain,
and now the tainted blood leaves stains beyond your back,
and in their words I hear your shame...
How can you lie to me?...
When in your eyes I can see crazed and vacant.
As you're caught in the act,
you always wanted this,
now you feel the stab,
Are you happy to be sad?
is there pleasure in the...

And now it seems you haven't learned your lesson,
I guess you have to share the pain,
but now the tainted blood leaves stains beyond your back,
and in their words I hear your shame...

As it makes you sick,
Do I make you scared?
when you see what you once were,
as you're shaving your head.
...yeah...

The scared boy thinks he sees,
if you can't read his eyes,
but you can read, you can read his eyes,
his lies.

"Sick"

"Sick"


I've been living for years in question, some obsession
Was I less to live with no answers, as a life cried wolf
I'm ashamed to mention my anguish, but silence lies empty
If I say it again can I kill it, will you lend me your ears

Breathe in breathe out exhale, acting sweating
A broken smile provides them a view, projection is nothing new
Just once I would like them to feel it, suffer in my skin
For a moment stand in my shoes, filled with swelling blues

I keep this room, and this room keeps me, chained to my organs
I am quarantined, to a place that's dark, staring at three walls
The door is locked to them

Maybe now that they all know it, you'll find solace
As you're drowning in narcissism, or is it self-loathing
Cause you fought it all in your head boy, psychosomatic
They used to humor you now they pity you, and nothing's changed

I keep this room, and this room keeps me, chained to my organs
I am quarantined, to a place that's dark, staring at three walls
The door is locked to them

The door is locked behind me, if I say it again can I kill it
Because they're sick of my complaining and i am sick of being sick

Maybe these will cure you completely, chemicals deeply
Saviors until you're dependent, don't let them go to your head
I'm ashamed to mention my anguish, but silence lies empty, silence lies
