"Volcano"

"Volcano"


Your lipstick smear across your face
Now toss your hair in dirty grace
Pink leather strap on your guitar
Now spread your legs - how bright you are
Mmmmmm... they all know your name
Mm - Cully, claw your way to - mm - fame

There's a star in her eyes and she knows it
There's a star in her mind yeah she chose it
There's a star in her eyes and she knows it
There's a star in her mind yeah she chose it
And every evening the sun comes up when she goes down
And every evening the mud fills up her bridal gown

The little girl inside of you
Has made her wish come true
And tonight you take the stage
You wear a dress of blood and lace
You left a stain where you have kneeled
But Cully you're still invisible

There's a star in her eyes and she knows it
There's a star in her mind yeah she chose it
There's a star in her eyes and she knows it
There's a star in her mind yeah she chose it
And every evening the sun comes up when she goes down
And every evening the mud fills up her bridal gown

Your lipstick smear across your face
Now toss your hair in dirty grace
Pink leather strap on your guitar
Now spread your legs just like a star

And I'd like to eat her breasts and know God
(There's a star in her eyes)
And I'd like to taste her flesh and grow hard
(There's a star in her eyes)
And I'd like to eat her breasts and grow God
(There's a star in her eyes)
And I'd like to suck her breath and blow hot
(There's a star in her eyes)

And I'd like to eat her breasts and know God
(There's a star in her eyes)
And I'd like to taste her flesh and grow hard
(There's a star in her eyes)
And I'd like to eat her breasts and grow God

"Was He Ever Alive"

"Was He Ever Alive"


When I die let me down,
In the field in the ground,
Where the water runs beneath me,
And the sky's red and falling down.
Round my eyes that I closed,
And the world that I know,
Is a shadow of a dream,
That left me in my loneliness,
Without a life behind me,
That I can say I ever knew,
That I can say I ever knew,
That I can say I ever lived at all.

Now I'm a drunken man,
And I'm killing time,
From what was mislaid.
I've never been alive,
I was never born in blood.
I've never breathed a word,
And the people that I knew,
The women and the thieves,
They left my body bleeding,
On this piece of fallow ground.
They left my body bleeding,
On this piece of closing in.
They left my body bleeding,
On this piece of emptiness.

They left my body bleeding,
on this piece of fallow ground,
Where famine comes before me,
And cuts my people down.
Where the brown cloud shuts the sun,
And locusts eat our food,
And the blood of lamb is spilled,
And smeared across the altar,
And the colors red and gold,
Put their flavor in our soul.
And the children are born blind,
And the water turns to blood,
And we're sheltered by our god,
Who's hand is strong and bloody.
And we're walking earth that's filled,
With the bodies that he's killed,
To get our people free.
To get our people out.
To get our people free.
To get our people out.
He'll drown em in black waters,
He'll send a swarm of flies,
Yeah, he'll slaughter those that kill us,
And he'll punish them that hide.
Where was it decided?
Where was it described,
That a man he gets no substance,
That as he lays there as he dies,
He ceases to believe,
He was ever born in blood,
That his eyes have ever seen,
That his hands have ever held,
That his lungs have ever breathed,
That he's ever been alive.
Was he ever live?
Was he ever live?
Was he ever live?
Was he ever live?

"Weakling"

"Weakling"


I don't feel pain
I never escape
I'm under the bed
I'm licking the floor
I never dream
This isn't real
This isn't real
This isn't real
This isn't real
This isn't real
Not real

You know everything
I forgot how to breathe
You're touching my chest
When I'm touched I bleed
I never dream
This isn't real
This isn't real
This isn't real
This isn't real
This isn't real
Not real
Not real
Not real
Not real
Not real, not real
Not real, not real
Not real, not real
Not real, not real
Not real

"When She Breathes"

"When She Breathes"


When she comes here, then we'll see
Then we'll know, then we'll breathe
In her shadow, the sun was born
In her shadow, a new world will form

When she breathes, when she breathes
When she imagines that she breathes in me
When she breathes, when she thinks it once
In the field, steel grass will grow

And from Heaven, she'll rain down the sun
And turn the living into sand
And we breathe her holy air
And we walk this poison place

Made from an emptiness where time was never
Dreamed by one mind so sad as mine
When she breathes, when she breathes
When she thinks it once, when she breathes in me

"When Will I Return?"

"When Will I Return?"


One, two, three, four

His hands are on my throat
My key is in his hand
I'm splayed here on some curb
Shards of glass say starry night
When will this pigman stop?
His stink is like the dog
My life is mine to keep
I still kill him in my sleep
The car door is open wide
The mouth of death still calls my name
I'll beat him on his face
And I stab with all my strength
And I scream until he goes
I scream until he's gone
Then I crawl across the road
Then I crawl across the road
When will I return?
When will I return?

(Aaaaaah)
Oh I'm alive
(Aaaaaah)
Oh I'm alive
(Aaaaaah)
Oh I'm alive
(Aaaaaah)
Oh I'm alive
(Aaaaaah)
Oh I'm alive
(Aaaaaah)
Oh I'm alive
(Aaaaaah)
Oh I'm alive
(Aaaaaah)
Oh I'm alive

"Where Does A Body End?"

"Where Does A Body End?"


The future's leaking through a shut lead door
In the ruins of a city under the forest floor.
Your naked body's buried in a vacant field
What does your body feel now

The air is black and has no oxygen
The bodies in the river float beneath the sun
Transparent skin it shines a light from deep within
Where does your body begin

The stars are hidden by a mirrored sky
And darkness disappears behind reflected light
Perception is a distance in a closed-in space
How will your body escape

The crowd is feeling you inside your head.
Your imagination's canceled by its opposite
And every possibility's been proved untrue
Now is your body you

"Why Are We Alive?"

"Why Are We Alive?"


Now I'm not a man and I don't feel love
And I don't see anything coming down from above
But this world spins slowly and I see a light
Rising up from behind the horizon up into the clear black sky
But I don't see you in my line of sight
In fact, I can't remember why we are alive

 

[fox69]

"Why Hide"

"Why Hide"


My heart pumps
My legs move
I sit down
I rot
I hide my stink
I follow directions
I know how to work
I keep my mouth shut
I know my place
I hide my stink
I need you more than I hate myself
You hurt me then you hurt yourself
Why hide the lie

 

[fox69]

"Will We Survive"

"Will We Survive"


I'll drink the moonlight from your hands
I'll swim an ocean filled with sorrow
No lover, please don't go
We can crucify tomorrow

Let the sunlight feed the air
Let it fill our lungs with lies
We'll be memorized by shadows
But our loneliness will survive

Now the sugar in your soft voice
Makes the sweetness in your weeping
And the black rose that you swallowed
Feeds the solitude you're dreaming

No, I'll never taste your tears again
In the darkness that we're breathing in
Now the sun will kill the garden
In a universe that is bleeding

"You Fucking People Make Me Sick"

"You Fucking People Make Me Sick"


Now diamonds are falling
the way we will, in the sky.
Obsessions, pink children,
they are laid out in a line.
They are screaming, they are polluted,
they are demanding their life.
This wrong feelings, they are calling
the red leper of time.
I love you, I need you,
oh show me how to shine.
I love you, young flower,
now give me what is mine.
