"Saved"

"Saved"


Now I've got nothing to look at
And I've got no pain to deny
And I've got nobody to bleed for
And I've got no sun to pull down from the sky
But I'm saved, yeah, I'm saved
And I don't understand it, I'm saved

If mercy were to hold me closely
And hide me in her place of no pain
The angels would throw down the water
They cried from one hundred million eyes

And I have a feeling that's growing
Somewhere behind my sleeping mind
Yeah, I'm saved, I'm saved
Yeah, I don't know why, but I'm saved

When sunlight falls on your shoulder
You look like a creature from Heaven
You're holy when you open your eyes
And look up inside that sheltering sky

And you're an angel, I'll never betray you
But I'll always be a lonely child
Yeah, still I'm saved
I'm saved
Yeah, I don't deserve it
But I'm saved

"Screen Shot"

"Screen Shot"


Love, child, reach, rise
Sight, blind, steal, light
Mind, scar, clear, fire
Clean, right, pure, kind
Sun, come, sky, tar
Mouth, sand, teeth, tongue
Cut, push, reach, inside
Feed, breathe, touch, come

No pain, no death, no fear, no hate
No time, no now, no suffering
No touch, no loss, no hand, no sense
No wound, no waste, no lust, no fear
No mind, no greed, no suffering
No thought, no hurt, no hands to reach
No knife, no words, no lie, no cure
No need, no hate, no will, no speech
No dream, no sleep, no suffering
No pain, no now, no time, no hear
No knife, no mind, no hand, no fear

Love! Now!
Breathe! Now!
Here! Now!
Here! Now!
Here! Now!

"Sealed In Skin"

"Sealed In Skin"


Wrap your skin around my skin
I don't feel your body
Wrap your mouth around my mouth
I don't feel your body
Hold you hands over my eyes
I don't feel myself when you hold me down
I hide in your warmth

"See No More"

"See No More"


See God's sun go down behind that hill
See God's sons go down that lonely road
See God's sun fall behind that hill in darkness
See God's sons go down that godforsaken road

Then see us need more
Then see no more
Then see no more
Then see no more

See us deliver where other men will fail
See us hold Heaven while others burn in Hell
See us, God's sons, guarding Heaven's gate
Then see our sun go black because we made one mistake

Then see us need more
Then see no more
Then see no more
Then see no more

"Sensitive Skin"

"Sensitive Skin"


Standing naked in the corner
Sinking into the ground
Our hands connected to our feet
Our shadows burnt into the wall
Like the insomniac dreams:

Getting taken to the basement
Getting fucked to ease some tension
Getting taken to the basement
Getting fucked to ease some tension

Connecting tongues in the basement
X's tongue move moves down Y's throat
Y spits it back and fills X
Stalemate
Tied together in a permanent knot
Pressed together into one face

Throat:
Getting taken to basement
Getting fucked to ease some tension

"Sex, God, Sex"

"Sex, God, Sex"


I will pray
I will pray
I will go down low
And I will pray to you
Down as low as I can go
I will go there and I will pray to you
I will beg you
I will beg you lord
I will deny myself
I will deny you lord
Though I've done nothing wrong
Never in my live
No no no no no
I will beg you lord
And I will pray for you to forgive me now
I will go down to the centre of the earth
And I will curl up in flames
And I will beg you lord
Take me in your cruel arms
Take me down home
And will say
"Come into me, lord, come in now
Come on in
Praise the lord!
Praise God!"
Come into my heart, sweet lord
Come into my heart
I am open
I am torn apart
I am naked
And I am impure
I am sexless
I am foul
I am ignorant
And I am hateful
Forgive me lord
Come in
Come on in
Praise God
Praise the lord
Praise god
Praise the lord
Forgive me

"She Crys (For Spider)"

"She Crys (For Spider)"


You can hear them out there
They're gonna follow you down
On the rocks
In the air
Inside your mind, they made you scared
Of all the lies that have been told
Of all the hearts now that have been sold
Of all the tears that've been disowned
Those cries are gonna swallow up
The seeds you have sown

So hold on and make it last
Hold on for your last holy breath
Hold on for your faith
It has lapsed

Those cries like an acid
They will eat through your mask
Those cries like a hammer
They will nail down your past
Those cries gonna swallow up
Your last dying gasp

You can hear them out there
They come inside and ride you slow
They come inside where they will grow
Without a hope, without a dream
Without anything
Without a demon to turn the key

Of all the lies now that have been told
Of all the hearts now that have been sold
Of all the tears that've been disowned
Those cries are gonna swallow up the seeds you have sown
Those cries gonna get ya, chill you down to the bone
Those cries like an acid they will eat through your mask
Those cries gonna swallow up your last dying gasp

So hear them now
All the dead-eyed souls who've spent their lives and just grown old
So hear the cries from the dead-eyed souls who've spent their lives
Now they're turning cold

"She Lives!"

"She Lives!"


Now I just want to thank you
For going insane
Every second you suffer
Is a loss that I gain
Every breath is a drain down
Down into a hole
And your mind is a shrinking thing
It was crushed by your skull
Now you feel time unfolding
Deep in your chest
And your body's expanding
Now there's none of you left
So I just want to thank you
For losing your mind
Yeah you burned just like Joan of Arc
Purified by the flames
You're alive! You're alive!
You're alive! You're alive!
You're alive! You're alive!
You're alive

And I just want to thank you
For the light that you spread
And magnesium and sulphur
And the fear in your head
And I just want to tell you
You're nothing so new
Every time that you touch it
It'll turn against you
Now your future's a cold thing
Down in the damp ground
And your memory's a lead room
Containing this sound
So I just want to thank you
For killing your mind
All the life that you bleed out
Well I steal it for mine
You're alive! You're alive!
You're alive! You're alive!
You're alive! You're alive!
You're alive, you're alive
You're alive! You're alive!
You're alive! You're alive!
You're alive! You're alive!
You're alive

"She Loves Us!"

"She Loves Us!"


I am no thing
I am no one
Come to my mouth
Come to my tongue
I am your girl
I am your son
Come to my house
Come to my lung
Come to my house
Come to my mouth
Come to my tongue
Fun fun fun!
I am your girl
I am your son
Come to my mouth
Come to my lung
Fun fun fun!
Mau mau mau
Fuck fuck fuck!
Your name is fuck!
I'm going home! I'm going home!
Halleluiah! Halleluiah!

"Some Things We Do"

"Some Things We Do"


We seed, we feel, we need, we fight
We seal, we cut, we seek, we love
We grow, we take, we eat, we break
We hunt, we hurt, we seize, we kneel
We heal, we fuck, we pray, we hate
We reach, we touch, we lose, we taste
We learn, we lie, we wound, we waste
We hold, we kill, we love, we veil
We crawl, we seek, we fail, we rage
We fuck, we come, we love, we work
We search, we share, we wound, we keep
We blind, we take, we hide, we hold
We breathe, we steal, we bind, we build
We seed, we fuck, we rage, we weep
We betray, we serve, we regret, we learn
With tooth, and claw, we touch, we teach
We fuck, we love, we forget, we regret
We love, we love, we love, we love
We fuck, we love, we love, we love
