If I could sleep, If I could sleep If I could
If I could sleep if I could sleep I would be dreaming of electric sheep
Drinking ethanol like water
my head was lead, my heart was soldered on to
mechanical bones and combustible blood
I rust away, I know I’m gonna feel like this for days.
These dark waves come and go,
it’s the undertow that never lets go.
fighting off delusions of delusions of delusions
of delusions of delusions of delusions
of delusions of delusions of delusions
of delusions of delusions
I wanna drown in dark waves, dance to music
Caught in a lucid dream and I’ve fucked up everything
I’m lost, god I’m lost god I’m lost god I’m lost
One day the black hole in your head will suck you in
forever you said
Your thoughts are black sharks swimming in dark waves
in the poison cave you call a brain.
I think too much, I know, its the undertow that never lets go.
Fighting off delusions of feeling human, the human condition
We’re quarters in wishing wells where we’ve thrown ourselves
praying to fairy tales
Dreaming of electric sheep of electric sheep of electric sheep
I wanna drown in dark waves, dance to music
Caught in a lucid dream and I’ve fucked up everything
I’m lost, god I’m lost god I’m lost god I’m lost
If I could tear the wires out from inside and crush them, crush them beneath my feet
If I could tear the wires out from inside and crush them so completely
Then I would tear and I would tear

I Can Get Morose

I can get morose, but I’m working on it.
I’ve tried to heal myself with gin and tonic
I gave up on it just like everything else
Staring out a black window
wondering where did my life go?
Sometimes we like to play hide and seek
I thought I’d off myself today
but then my family came to stay and I was like, “Man, I don't want to ruin their vacation.”
So I thought I’d wait til they’re away but
then they’d just have to pay for a plane ticket to the wake
and that's inconvenient
Like who’s got that kind of cash laying around?
I know I don’t.

I can’t feel no more
I can’t sleep no more
i can’t run no more
Pressure vessel head am I alive or living dead?
I’m broken
And I’m in my bed and I’m going to sleep
And I have a moment of clarity
And its not a drill and its not a dream
This nightmares real
This is who I turned out to be
Pressure vessel head am I alive or living dead?
I’m broken
I can’t feel no more
I can’t sleep no more
i can’t run no more

Got a hole in my heart
the size and the shape
of the Alaskan state
and its bringing me down
Breakneck pace
no time to waste
but I still remember the taste of that
steer dew
mending nets airing regrets
would you rather fall in love or forget
pancake fox memories
with Ol’ Beezy
Did you believe goodbye’s forever?
Board up those windows and turn those lights down low
Black out every night. Where did those lost years go?
The past is gone but it makes me feel
like midnight sunlight rose tinted home video reels
And it makes my…my heart ache
The profound loneliness of that place
Another storm rolls out
and another rolls in
I was in love once
And I will be again
Brine on the cove
Get ready for the laugh
Tearing down the walls
I need a shoulder to lean on
Did you really believe goodbye’s forever?
Board up those windows and turn those lights down low
Black out every night. Where did those lost years go?
The past is gone but it makes me feel
like midnight sunlight rose tinted home video reels
And it makes my…my heart ache
The profound loneliness of that place
Another storm rolls out
and another rolls in
I was in love once
And I will be again

For Your Power
02:51
|
|||
|
We could shine like diamonds dug out a mine
if we could only leave this city behind
Spent too long in a velvet ditch
and the deep south drawl
is making my skin crawl
We could burn this house thats falling apart
and throw a party while it burns and call it art
We could dance if you teach me how
Oh I know the days they get so cold and grey
and I just need
I need you for your power
I need you when it hurts
I love you cause you love me
I love you for what its worth
Dead drop note and a voice like the chime of a bell
I never told you how far I fell then
With my dead shark eyes I take a deep rye shot to the dome
when I’m thinking of you I’m thinking of home now
I’m at the bottom of a well and I’m searching for the sky
Cause I promised you, I promised I’d try
Sometimes we’ll do anything to be
anything but empty
Oh I know the days they get so cold and grey
and I just need
I need you for your power
I need you when it hurts
I love you cause you love me
I love you for what its worth

Pulse
06:11
|
|||
|
My heart died long ago but my pulse just keeps on beating
I’m an animated corpse, a marionette on guitar strings
just waiting for something
I’m alone now and breaking down
put me in the ground
and kill this awful sound
I wonder how
A soul can be saved
Fight your broken mind
You’re not a slave
You hear that steady sound?
Can you hear the pulse and the thud and the pound?
I’m breaking down now
Its swim or drown now
How can a soul be saved?
I’ll miss you when you’re gone
Like a ghost misses bones
Like the sound of an empty home
I’ll miss you when you’re gone
I wonder how
A soul can be saved
Fight your broken mind
You’re not a slave
Will I miss you?
With your broken heart
and all your scars
And your black and purple bruises?
Oh yeah I know
Will I miss you?
With your dreams so big
the weight broke you in two.
Will I miss you? Will I miss you?

Gilded Creatures Memphis, Tennessee
O lurid, luminescent womb, burst forth
let the golden blood flow, as the froth obscures the lustful teeth of the
hounds,
and crying children revel in the putrid lather; the half breed bastards, sired of rituals unspoken,
cursing God that the shrieks of such abominations
should poison even the ears of the damned.They are not human kind,
but feral animals painted as man.
