WORLD COMING DOWN
2) WHITE SLAVERY
I make a call, so far to fall Restless craving, inundating The summer snow, but it's not cold Once it's tested, thus infected I've lost myself again It's a nightmare, but it's clear It will end, but when? The break of day, I rot away With every breath, I pray for death Let me say Pepsi Generation A few lines of misinformation Watch your money flow away oh so quick To kill youself properly, Coke is it
3) SINUS (instrumental)
4) EVERYONE I LOVE IS DEAD
Seems three years though maybe four Someone drops dead whom I adore You love someone, there will be grief The kiss of death lips of a thief Goddamn it A dusty stack of photographs Of times I've cried but mostly laughed Commit the past into blue flame Acrid smoke, cowardly shame At times I'm truly terrified 'Cause dope and booze don't help to hide They're used to mask a weakling's hurt It's just like painting over dirt Everyone I Love Is Dead (ahh ahh) Life's a game I cannot win Both good and bad must surely end The mirrors always tell the truth I love myself for hating you
5)WHO WILL SAVE THE SANE?
Periodic tableware Psychotropic science fare But who will save the sane? Some beings just can't change Now crawl on by with a fake tear in your eye And think isn't he strange? Psuedogasmic chemistry Necromorphic apathy Physical laws unapplied hamper my quest Unsurreal world of unfailed HIV tests Der Ubermensch warning of pi (techno junkies) 3.141592653... come on boy, tell me, tell me Tentative ambulance date bound for G Ward Beartrap psychiatrist bait chew my paw off Unmercilessly we will take you away to slumber But only if you can recite Avogadro's number Now crawl on by with a fake tear in your eye and think wasn't he strange?
6) LIVER (instrumental)
7) WORLD COMING DOWN
She thinks I'm Iron Man, that I don't feel pain, I don't understand why joy must be feigned I'm so fortunate yet filled with self-hate That the mirror shows me an ingrate, I could easily start pointing fingers Since the blame is mine, it always lingers That the truth it lies in my reflection Though this can't go on, there's no question Yeah I know that my word is coming down Yeah I know I'm the one who brought it down BRING IT ON DOWN How quickly pass the days, long is the night Lying in bed awake, bathed in starlight Better to live as king of beasts Than as a lamb scared and weak I will deny my role as a human Holding myself hostage with no demands It's better to burn quickly and bright Than slowly and dull without a fight
8)CREEPY GREEN LIGHT
This Halloween so unlike any other Her final words Don't be afraid of the green light On muddy ground I'm lying drunk on her grave Where I must wait until she wakes The soil splits, Greenwood's ground will quake beneath me And so shall take into the earth To the green light The autumn air SIMPLY FILLS MY LUNGS SO SWEETLY Reminds me of her smokey breath With wine and this bouquet of maple and oak leaves In death or life we'll always be I find myself drawn to her shadow domain This moonlit night late October's swirling fog-gloom And as promised, my love did rise From the green light
9) EVERYTHING DIES
Well I loved my aunt but she died And my uncle Lou, then he died I'm searching for something which can't be found, but I'm hoping I still dream of dad though he died Everything dies My ma's so sick, she might die Though my girl's quite fit, she will die Still loooking for someone who was around, barely coping Now I hate myself, WISH I'D DIE No, why? Oh God I miss you I really miss you
10) LUNG (instrumental)
11) PYRETTA BLAZE
Beautiful yet dangerous Thermogenic, luminous Like a moth drawn to a flame, I'm the same All cremated equally As a spark still I knew I'll be lured, be consumed She a pyre incarnate, incinerate An inferno turned to flesh You are the first will be my last Will be my final words (said she) Pyretta blaze Say the words I long to hear Pinch, bite, kiss, suck, lick and sear In a pyromantic way, I'm her slave Livng for her to ignite
12) ALL HALLOW'S EVE
Fall fires burn 'neath black twisted boughs Sacrifice to above Smoke swirling quickly towards misting clouds Offering of this blood Into the flames and without shame Consumed with howls and screams Pumpkins grin in their despair On All Hallows Eve Cruel be the wind as it quells my words I shout out to the rain Incantations I so hoped you've heard That you live again From deep Earth brings forth rebirth Witness but I shant believe From below a chilling glow on All Halows Eve Be spiderwebbed and glazed in frost She wears death beautifully More stunning now than in her life On a bed of Autumn LEAVES Into her eyes and quite surprised I whispered don't you leave Sing macabre songs and we'll dance 'til dawn On All Hallows Eve Saint Lucifer hear me praying to thee On this eve of all saints High be the price but then nothing is free My soul I'll gladly trade Cold is the night in so many ways LUNA round, full and bright Deep be the mud on the fresh dug graves On yours I recite An ancient spell I know so well Success is gurarnteed I'll bring you back from where you've gone On All Hallows Eve
