A Shining God

i want Paradise
i want my revenge
i need the taste of it
i need the taste of it
i want out
i want out
we take the door
from our nightmare
into the womb
of soldier's cause
we want a source
to draw thoughts from
give us a source
to suck thoughts from
a parent
ten good memories
a shining god
the knowledge
of how to use the gun
we take our love
inside a frame
a cubicle
raft upon a stream
the greater landscape
is just so old
who are you
on a lifeboat, all alone
all the roads are bare at three
and mourning the last chapter right on schedule
silence is the god inside
feeling years caress you slowly as they die
do you wonder at the stories blurred in memories
of imagined futures in another place
of people you think you might be
i want food
i want water
i want out

Medicine

Search for the wisdom
or take pleasure in the trend.
It's all just medicine
to get you 'round the bend.
Become Anonymous or be everyone's friend
It's all just medicine
to get you to the end.
(chorus 1)
in all this life
in all this time
there's just one conse-
quence
good luck bad luck
don't mean a thing
they're just to tell
how far
you are
from where you'll be
good and great and meek and still
up and through and out and gone
it will take more than your will
so much more than a pawn
Protest in freezing wind
or buy the government.
Just take your medicine!
That's how this nightmare ends.
Guilt has its savior,
parents have all their children.
They are your medicine
to get you through the end.
Yeah!
(chorus 2)
file it away
to leave a record
that can speak
when you are gone
good luck bad luck
don't mean a thing
they're just to tell
how far
you are
from where you'll be
good and great and meek and still
up and through and out and gone
it will take more than your will
so much more than a pawn

Feeding
05:58
|
|||
|
mother walks by the door screaming
father walks by the door
SCREAMING (x4)
procession of processing needs
feeding frenzy of guilt
fabricating all these years
living is feeding
feeding is killing
and I can kill you
but I'm not that willing
well,
I can't know
if it's not too late
I've still to earn
the gracious state
I'm not that precious yet
I'm not alive yet
i am just not a threat
not that human yet
not psychotic yet
just not a threat
not human yet

Comfort Cage
07:24
|
|||
|
your manifest destiny's got
blue balls today
who's gonna live, who's gonna die
who's gonna pay
you are a liar
blending filth and beauty
you always win
how can we lift ourselves
above our comfort cage
when our own leaders sell
the best lies every day
we are the beauty, the
illusion and birth
we build houses on the cliffs
of a flat earth
you're a liar
blending filth and beauty
you always win
we celebrate the motherland
and all her rage
we are the sheep, we are the
proudest of slaves
and let us hope we don't
look in the eye
and let us hope that we
never know why
you're a liar
blending filth and beauty
you always win

Magic Blanket
03:09
|

|
The sky is full of magic
whispering the hints and the reminders
in the last few days left to science
as you grope in blindness just to find her
(as she holds your hand)
The sky is full of numbers
whispering a love dressed in confusion
with all the intent I gave to violence
I am fulfilled just by your silence
(as I hold your hand)
The sky is black with magic
Let's offer up a candle
blind and all too dim to get a handle
As we force some truth from the absurd
(and lose our hold on you)
