Flood Warning

Throw ourselves into the river
Dams are bursting at the seems
Let the rain wash us all away
Flailing backwards down the streams
Not all floods involve the water
Screaming till my lungs collide
The light above me disappears
Is this what it's like to die
Living life through eyes impaired
Kiss the toilet, oh so scared
I can't face this on my own
Never feel safe in my home
When the demon has his way
Always running every day
Feed me pills and sing to me
Until I shiver and go to sleep
Always watching, never resting
Get the best of me and tell me
When will the clock stop ticking backwards
Keep me close and close the blinds
Say goodnight, say goodnight and
Bury me in the backyard

Crooked Hands

I can feel the shadow
Creeping around, creeping around
A bitter pill to swallow
Hollow, wallow whither
I can't make a sound
Only when you fall apart
Can you put the pieces back together
Feel the darkness closing in
Swallowing the light within
Voices chanting 'round me
Try to face them on my own
Blackened nails keep me awake
Shakes the skin, a hell within
Haunting me I howl and moan
Skeletons are screaming out
From the closets that they're hiding in
Hide these bones, don't tell a soul
Take these dirty secrets to my grave
Drag me down to where I am alone
Tear me down to the bone
Break me down from the inside and out
Crooked hands drag me down

Don't Bother

Here it stands alone again,
a loss for words, a last resort.
So where you gonna go when the shit goes down?
You can’t turn ‘round, you can’t turn back.
Tearing everything right off the walls
In a fit of rage, in the heat of the moment
No, don’t bother sayin’ a thing. You’ve done enough
You, you left me hangin’ once again
Why do all the songs on the radio
seem to know my pain, seem to speak to me?
There’s a little red x etched on my chest
Cause this is where my heart used to be
And you’re the main reason for this hate in my head
I can’t forget, I can’t let go
No, don’t bother sayin’ a thing. You’ve done enough
You, you left me hangin’ once again

Swords on Strings

Dark deeds sealed in blood, lock the door and shut the blinds
Red stain on your shirt sleeve, you got something to hide
There's really nothing I can do for you but sit and watch it consume you
Do you hear that sound?
How can silence be so loud?
Screaming echoes across the void,
swallowing you in the noise
The Devil's real, he walks among us, hiding in plain sight.
When you loose all you got, he's gonna make it seem so nice
Feed the beast he's on your back, a thousand pounds and counting
Do you hear that sound?
How can silence be so loud?
Screaming echoes across the void,
swallowing you in the noise

Driving by your house, No one’s home again
Keeping tabs on you, I know everything I need to know
So what are you up to? What are you doing tonight?
I called you ten times today, Doing circles 'round the block
I’m surprised you can’t hear me, While I’m trying to sneak around
So what are you up to? What are you doing tonight?
I’m just a little lonely
I’m just burning for someone
I've got no one to talk to
Why won’t you call me
So what are you up to? What are you doing tonight?

The Hijacker

I have the captain, he's tied to his bed
And in two hours, we'll all be dead
No more worries, can no longer feel
For I am drunk and behind the wheel
Hey, I can't find my way
Out of my mind, I'm here to stay
I watched myself become a man
I watched myself succumb to the bottle
I felt myself get fed to the beast
I felt my soul get sucked to the bottom
Just a ruin of who I used to be
Ashes to ashes, I'm sinking in the sea
No longer care, my hearts been swallowed whole
This beast inside me, I have lost control
This monster, this tower, makes the whole world cower
Grabs a hold of the sky, and drags us all to the ground
All grown up, this is my leash
Inside the beast, the beast inside me head
Holds me down, overshadow
He runs the show, destroys the world
One more line and one more drink
I've done this before, over and over again
Can't keep this up, I'm wearing thin
I've lost myself, don't know who's within
The demon laughs, he pulls my strings
Until I'm dead, this will never end

Tarantula

Kinda creepy, pretty ugly
No one could love me, nobody touch me
All alone, nothing to show
Live in a hole, I call it my home
No one to call your brother
So far from all the others
You know you don’t belong
So why don't this feel wrong
All this judgment, passed to you
All this time you got, but nothing to do
The one they cast away, odd man out
A heart that’s gone astray, without a doubt
So what you gonna do?
No one will go near you
Throw stones to break glass bones
Through all this hate you’ve shown
I sleep in an empty house, yeah, all by myself
In the valley that keeps my surrounded, my private hell
Too scared to wander out there, too damned to trust
Eight legs to keep me down there, tarantula

Primer

Clouded in anger, jaded and cold
I was born this way and I will die alone
Turn back your clocks and lock all your doors
No longer speak, we sleep on separate shores
Holes in the wall, knuckles are bruised
Wish I could take back bullying you
Stare too long at the sun, you'll go blind
Steal the breath from my lungs, I don't mind
Too cold to go outside, too tired to care
Why climb to the top when you'll just fall down the stairs
Bathe me in sunlight so bright I can't see
Whisper me promises you can't keep
The price that I pay to live another day
Some might say I'm pissing it away
I don't see how I can fix these broken parts that I was built with
(This is the closest thing)
When it's all you can feel, you beg borrow steal
The one thing you need, this beast you must feed
I don't see how I can fix these broken parts that I was built with
Follow in your father's footsteps
Wallow in your mother's regrets
This is what it is, tell me it's not true
This is what it is, tell me it's not true
When the dust clears, the earth is white
I fucked it up, it's always night
Why's it so cold here in April without you?
Why's it so cold here in April without you?

Howling dust of moonlit lust is crawling on the underside
Fortune fate of altered states swimming in the ocean tides
Look to close and you might find the past starts to repeat itself
watching all of time unwind back into your eyes
A westernly wind brings with it sweet whispers of regret
Lest this be a lesson to you, soon you will forget
You are the teacher, Devilish trickster
Show me the truth, Backwards to our youth
In the time it took for you to ponder which was false or true
Took to long to remember pieces falling back to you
Can't seem to find the words to say, you never bothered anyway
Who's to say, you waste away, but live to see another day
Every time you seem to get a little closer to the end
Something always seems to be pulling back at you again
You are the teacher, Devilish trickster
So show me the truth, Backwards to our youth
Tell me how long is forever in your eyes
(I'll be waiting here for you)
Time won't stand still because it waits for no man
(Trapped inside the hourglass)
Time marches on and the days just get shorter
(One of those will be your last)
As we devolve to the dirt where we're born from
(All our stories come to an end.)
