Lyrics:01 Short Hand Operation (2:26)short hand operation. my body lays exposed on the operating table. one blind eye pulled from the stems. the other frantically recalls memories like news broadcasts from an a.m. radio station. realizing just what i've become. i turn to cherish the moment of forgiveness. my second skin being removed so slowly. the moments like hours. the minutes like days. grinding through see-saw stardust. pixel vision naturally shapeless. i endure this captivity. my regret so colorless and futile. my hands lay severed beside me. dull, pale, scratching at the floor. these thoughts once pondered my own self destruction. i remember devouring all that was left of your wounded heart. i was never the person you thought i was. i was never the person i thought i was. i'm without, i'm nothing now. the truth has been seen through incision. mind intercourse, thought correction. it always comes back to sin and catastrophe. desire welling up inside. passions arise. rekindled memories. affections so bliss. forgotten pristine candy. red shake and shiver. objection dead. skin crawling. chaotic conversion. switchstance. whitewash my face to gleam again. 02 Misplaced Society (1:02) waaaaaaaah! another casuality, misplaced, misfit, degenerate youth not reconed with. i'm not a statistic, i refuse to be part of your plan in a world decaying. you make me ashamed to be human, is what i can't help born into this world. like me and you, you'll see when we're through. what makes you so much better? at least i know why i'm here. at least i know what to do. at least i know where i'll be. at least i'm still trying. at least i know why i'm here. at least i know what to do. at least i know where i'll be. at least i'm still trying. my flesh is still decieved, but that won't hold on to me or make me be greedy, or conditional in thought, prayer, or praise, i follow the Son. and make no room for the other, who lies, and cheats, and steals from me with his obscure insanity's. woe to the man who hits me in the eye, i might just turn and let you have another swing. yeah, i'll turn the other cheek and let you think you win. at least i know why i'm here. at least i know what to do. at least i know where i'll be. at least i'm still trying. at least i know why i'm here. at least i know what to do. at least i know where i'll be. at least i'm still trying. 03 The Dawning of This Night Divine (2:53) Victory draws closer As death comes in around me The cracks in your face reveal Everything I thought was true The lies of me and you The song quickens pace The race of time taking effect This love's a hole infecting virus With lack of commitment And true confession It's my fault as much as it's yours And there's blood covering me Only so I can see through it Just enough to forgive you Death is all around, I feel it in the air I hear the song and take the pain Let's skip the part about you and me fighting By the ocean Wondering what to do Let's just pretend I never meant to hurt you Wish I never felt this way Tell me how love's supposed to be And why you've been here The fire's out tonight, the coal is gone Your decision affecting the fall The leaves are dead and so are we Winter in my heart, darkness in my mind Winter in my heart all the time This is when you say life hurts Make the pain go away You open the door, step out on the grass Become a silhouette in the moonlight You light a spark in my heart and my mind Walk to the edge of the cliff Staring at the stars and the ocean 04 Torment In Tension (4:08) sound mockery regaining speed, transfixed on absolution. attempting to overthrow through blind manipulation. a picture perfect memory so real. surveillance of this friendly haunting must've been so weak not to count on murder. emersion has been totally eradicated. body awakening, we've gained control. "i'm so messed up , " she said, "to many noises in my head." laughter reverberating through this frazzled mind. you can see the torment in my eyes. die in my eyes, die. three days of relative tranquility. edge of the summer heat. the jest of this city. turning sullen, descending. such a day, ignore my darkening but don't forget how near we've become. don't you ever forget just how near to silence we've become. this weighs to heavy against me. i thought we could, but there's nothing left to say. there's nothing left to say. there's always tension. torment in tension. i felt so comfortable in a room alone. black washed walls. no words, just silence. this disappearance has left me fractured. a fragile wreck in a storm consuming all that i am and there's nothing to say. there's nothing to say. there's nothing to say. there's always tension. torment in tension. i'm impaired by your leopard skin sin. 05 Queen Maggot (4:09) There is no question of my faith This beginning ending life There is a black and white divide First line of gray inside Destroying all my self belief Ending quickly I want to kiss the sky you breathe I need the taste just one more time And I stand alone The sickness burying my feet I see through your lies And you'll perish I wish this would go away We shouldn't end up like this together Frustration, no end I wish we could just begin forever But there seems no resolve Destroying all what once begotten It's not your fault or my fault It's just the course which our lives have taken Now something's rotting inside How can we repair what's still decaying Screaming for resolution Instructions from the next place I lay my body down Parasites feeding off flesh Rotting, preparing my own death Waiting to awake from this trance I will not be left behind Will you be with me forever? Festuring moments in time Suggestions made to stand triumphant Eternity reflects my mind Body rejects, impulse I'm waking Just one hope in my eyes Resolve these matters from the outside I'm waiting for consumation I'm waiting for your confrontation Heaven We found the truth in dying time 06 Nostalgia (3:19) am i waiting for nothing at all? hawhee, hawhee, hawhee, oh baby. and what are you saving yourself for? hawhee, hawhee. oh my little one, don't be ashamed with my heart wide open. you can pour yourself in me. now there's nothing wrong with that that i can see. my heart feels life. nostalgia. i wish we could go on and on and on and on and on. listening to the echoes remaining. i hear your voice inside my head. now i know that we've just begun. again i reach out my hands to you. staring through the shadows on you face. i wonder are we heading to that place between nowhere and not much else? nostalgia. 07 Hope (2:18) gurgling, gasping for air. i need the breath of life. the breath of life. the breath of life. i am weak from the fight and i can still hear them celebrating victory. wiping the blood from my face. the pain creeps in taking over my thoughts. my spirit lays broken, shattered, shrouded by you. your icy pale skin in the cemetery plot i dug for you. i push you in and i like it. hating the darkness which becomes my flesh. inside this shell you try to hide. your still churning. mind and spirit burning. torture love never fails. exception in your case. failure comes quite naturally or so it seems. fading in and out from black to white, to black to white again. watching the blood running down my cheek. and my spirit lays broken. and i feel so shattered and so tired. i dug a hold six feet deep for you and you want it. 08 Double Dare (3:44) I dare you, to be real To touch a flickering flame The pangs of dark delight Don't cower in night fright Don't back away just yet From destinations set I dare you to be proud To dare to shout aloud For convictions that you feel Like sound from bells to peal I dare you to speak of your despise For bureaucracy, hypocracy- all liars I dare I dare I dare- you- you (Bauhaus cover) 10 Junk (0:47) The need to realize Shot, shot, shot, blank Staring down the barrel of my arm Shot, shot, shot, dead It's over drawn black Shot, shot, shot, red No restrictions Sucking eyes inward, immobile Bionic continuity Till death do us part |
