Silver Lying
03:10
|
|||
Sloppy thrills, stains, and spills
Nervous system fire drills
Chasing highs and higher highs
Hopes hiked up on burning thighs
Drama fiends and dopamine zealots
All in the name of a distraction
While time forms a shiv
Hack away at dissatisfaction
More distracted than distraught
While the sun’s never shining
Call it wishful thinking
Call it silver lying
More distracted than distraught
In strange beds hiding
Call it optimism
Call it silver lying
Eyes dilated, dry, and diverted
Keep going ‘till were all too exerted
Sing a song of Icarus on high
Sing me his screams
As he fell from the sky
Angels over the city
Between shadows and the sun’s rays
Paying off doomsday insurance
Before the end of days
More distracted than distraught
While the sun’s never shining
Call it wishful thinking
Call it silver lying
More distracted than distraught
In strange beds hiding
Call it optimism
Call it silver lying
More distracted than distraught
While the sun’s never shining
Call it wishful thinking
Call it silver lying
More distracted than distraught
In strange beds hiding
Call it optimism
Call it silver lying

Oh oh, oh oh
Extended release
Perpetuated fantasy
Let’s run away
You & me
Keep filling the void
In this entropy
Detained or deterred
Let’s wait and see
Oh oh, oh oh
Extended release
Oh oh, baby oh oh
Extended release
Oh, baby
Come on, baby
Baby, come down
Unbridled ecstasy
Doom-laced delusions
Who could foresee?
Heedless & yearning
In this entropy
Plucked from the wreckage
Redlined sanity
Oh oh, oh oh
Extended release
Oh oh, baby, oh oh
Extended release
Now here comes the comedown
Get a good look - Gather around
Garish & garnishedFool of the town
A feast for the jackals
Distractions unbound
Fantasy
We ran away
You & me
Fading perfume
In this entropy
There’s nothing left
But to melt in the sea
Oh oh, oh oh
Extended release
Oh oh, baby, oh oh
Extended release
Oh oh, oh oh
Extended release
Oh oh, baby, oh oh
Extended release

Stable Boy
02:35
|
|||
You took me in as your stable boy
Until I bloomed a troubled man
And those horses still run
From my eager hand
My trembling hand
Too wild to heed
My hollow command
Let the drums beat on
Let the drums beat on
Keep beating, keep beating
‘till the butchers are gone
Let the drums beat on
Let the drums beat on
Keep beating, keep beating
‘till the butchers are gone
I’ve grown insulated and perverse
Aging delusions instigated or worse
Now the days bleed out
With the falling sand
But those horse still run
From my trembling hand
Let the drums beat on
Let the drums beat on
Keep beating, keep beating
‘till the butchers are gone
Let the drums beat on
Let the drums beat on
Keep beating, keep beating
‘till the butchers are gone

Salivation
02:17
|
|||
I’m starting to slip, slip, slip
Deep down where those
Dead dreams drip
Let’s hibernate or consummate
This rabid reunion to instigate
Salivation dripping down
Salvation at the edge of town
Two more miles
One more mile
Get out and push
Make it worth your while
Salivation for salvation
Salivation for salvation
Salivation for salvation
Salivation for salvation
I’m starting to rip
Rip, rip, rip apart
Out of sanity’s womb
Return to the start
The scene of the crime
Love scenes from the heart
Pack up, check outBuckle up and depart
Salivation for salvation
Salivation for salvation
Salivation for salvation
Salivation for salvation
Salivation dripping down
Salvation at the edge of town
Two more miles
One more mile
Get out and push
Make it worth your while

Pearly Gates
02:47
|
|||
Mending my costumes
Gluing on more curios
Blasphemous bits
Through soggy clown sorrow
Falling down
More to go
Stripping down at the pearly gates
Stripping down at the pearly gates
Stripping down at the pearly gates
Last call is looming
And the reaper never waits
I’m waiting my turn
Searching the crowd
Gathering eyes
Shedding all I know
One song down
Two to go
I’m peeling down my pants
Kicking off my boots
Discarding my shell
Discarding my woe
Two songs down
One to go
Stripping down at the pearly gates
Stripping down at the pearly gates
Stripping down at the pearly gates
Last call is looming And the reaper never waits
I’m writhing and twisting
Shaking and spitting
Plunging below
Baby, reap and sow
Three songs down and down we go

Rejoice
02:37
|
|||
Strung out on honeymoon withdrawals
Swapping spit towards bathroom stalls
You gotta pay up before the church bells toll
Twelve easy payments for that mail order soul
Oh low-hanging fruit
Cradled in my stained hands
Caught amongst the jabbing thorns
Wedding bands, war bands
Who’s sounding the horns?
Rejoice, repent
I will rejoice but I must repent
Rejoice, repent
Vice invoices licked, sealed, and sent
Washed up at the high-tide rodeo
Reading the signs: “Everything must go”
Trying desperately to preserve that feeling
Lures beckon; perversions reeling
Oh please, take to me back to the sea
Set me free before the wine’s sour
Keep writing those Dear John letters
To everything I hope the leeches devour
Rejoice, repent
I will rejoice but I must repent
Rejoice, repent
Vice invoices licked, sealed, and sent

Hold Me Forever
03:02
|
|||
Let’s bask and sleuth
Amongst the neon menagerie
Prowl those back-alley jungles
For a cure that’s imaginary
Titillate the bar flies
And incessant night creeps
Romp, writhe, and revel
While a weary sun sleeps
Hold it together
Hold it together
Hold it together
I can’t hold it together
Hold it together
Hold it together
Hold it together
Hold me forever
Nurse now on the promise
Of the latest snake oil
Payments on layaway
As we shake, break, and toil
Hijack the jukebox
And throw back another
Slosh aroundTo the deafening sound
Hold it together
Hold it together
Hold it together
I can’t hold it together
Step right up
Join the circus of serotonin
Night after night
Routine revelry, maws-a-foamin’
Town after town
We travel onward come mornin’
So sing another song
And don’t let the sun in
Hold it together
Hold it together
Hold it together
I can’t hold it together
Hold it together
Hold it together
Hold it together
Hold me forever

One More
03:05
|

Please just one more song
The ends alway too soon
I’m not enough
Please just one more cocoon
One more, one more
The ends always too soon
Bouncing back and forth
Between that gloom and doom
Oh that big mangled bloom
Oh that sweet, bombastic tune
Waxing and waning
Until were gone with the moon
One more, one more
The ends always too soon
I’m finally undressed
I’m finally unveiled
No more red nose
I’ve let go of the balloon
I’ve let go of the balloon
Doomsday has come and gone
How many times
Can I sing a swan song?
One more song
One more song
Doomsday has come and gone
How many times
Can I sing a swan song?
One more song
One more fuckin’ song

Exit Wound
02:30
|
|||
Beware the pale horse
Close out your tabs
As the sundowners burn
Just don’t pick the scabs
Don’t pick the scabs
Pick the scabs
So hit me
Right on the lips
Where the sleeping hound bit
Like piss through snow
Deep enough to make me sick
These are the days
But I’m leaving soon
Bleeding out
In the exit wound
Too little too late
Too much too soon
And I’ll be leaving
Through the exit wound
Too little too late
Too much too soon
And I’ll be leaving
Through the exit wound
Beware the pale horse
Close out your tabs
As the sundowners burn
Just don’t pick the scabs
Don’t pick the scabs
Pick the scabs
This time I’m
Greased up
Ready for another
Stick on the feathers
Pry apart the lovers
These are the days
But I’m leaving soon
Bleeding outIn the exit wound
Too little too late
Too much too soon
And I’ll be leaving
Through the exit wound
Too little too late
Too much too soon
And I’ll be leaving
Through the exit wound
