The man's a mule, a vestibule He picks his two guns up from school He won't mistake an open shouting mouth for an exit wound He knows brooding angry in the dark leads to solitude But what's the use, he gave it all and lost it in the court room Lived with loyalty and gave it to the next groom Cut apart the sickly heart and sold it to the saloon He'll slip soon, manifest his failures into action He'll cut loose, cut into his prescripted rations Turn blue and hope that they don't miss him passing This was a tragedy, attention to reaction (X4) And it was red like the roses bloom And it was read like a manuscript And it was red like blood from the womb And it was red like a suicide note Sleep tight, inhale smoke Good night, the covenant's broke And I swear I'm never gonna let you win I'll break right through your stone skin And it was red like the roses bloom And it was read like a manuscript And it was red like blood from the womb And it was red like a suicide note

Suprise another Christian killing Harsh cries panic at the station Party lines stay away from the bodies So woke---But we never saw it coming The whole city had to watch em bleeding He's radical no matter which way he's leaning Man vs monster, steel meets flesh Are we done with the argument yet? We didn't deserve em But we got em and we lost How could he hurt them Stayed pale from eating off the bottom I Just Want My Brothers and sisters to be safe I Just Want To See Nazis choking on their flag Free speech or die You've got no safe place Bloody railroad ties You've got no safe space You-call-it-pa-tri-ot-ism I-call-it-terr-or ism No good, evil, objective morality But I make a stand against bigotry No race, borders, sovereign nation So I saw blood at the Hollywood Station I saw blood at the Hollywood Station Free speech or die You've got no safe place Bloody railroad ties You've got no safe space No good, evil, objective morality But I make a stand against bigotry No race, borders, sovereign nation So I saw blood at the Hollywood Station Fletcher Best Namkai Meche No good, evil, objective morality But I make a stand against bigotry No race, borders, sovereign nation So I saw blood at the Hollywood Station I saw blood at the Hollywood Station Fletcher Best Namkai-Meche

Slipping 02:41
We were insatiated before the world created Seconds or months we're in the brig for ages We wore evil eyes, soared over enemy lines Destroyed in the pit, but you pitied my cries Ohhh, so sick in a closet Ahh, cut bricks in the office Life crisis, bleeding through a hole in the tar And suffice it, we were distorting in the local bar We wore evil eyes! Soared over enemy lines Destroyed in the pit! But you pitied my cries! You pitied my cries! Pitied my cries! You pitied... my CRIES

Black rats - Sneaking through the floor slats Gift wrap - Adorning your blood splats Silencer - Ignoring gun claps A reminder that we're fragile and entrapped so How Do the deities see us? Does the Earth really need us? Or are we pawns for elitists? Slow down We're derivative creatures Giving goodbye speeches Sucking bruises from.. Your third eye! Fast laps - Timed by the collapse Red grass - Now come the regrets Finisher - Take him out with spike tracks Pillager - We're victims to the void turning black so How Do the deities see us? Does the Earth really need us? Or are we pawns for elitists? Slow down We're derivative creatures Giving goodbye speeches Sucking bruises from.. Your third eye!

TOO BAD So said she She says so sad Sweat soaked sex sheets Swindled serotonin Stranded synapses Sickening storytelling Sheep staring past us It's all relative They say while pumping sedatives Into every single hungry orifice Brain bruised set loose so strange to be organs TOO BAD Lost lately Last loss left late Looped lines loosening Left leaning lurkers Lures laid lateral Limping leering lepers Learning leaves an empty skull It's all relative They say while pumping sedatives Into every single hungry orifice Brain bruised set loose so strange to be organs Skyscraper on a farm plot Tractors parked in a city lot Never trusted with a gun But promised access to the sun It's all relative They say while pumping sedatives Into every single hungry orifice Brain bruised set loose so strange to be organs Do you ever feel like A truck without trailer A ship set with no sailor Soap op with no plot, cut cloth without tailor How about a good day, a year without a failure? It's all relative They say while pumping sedatives Into every single hungry orifice Brain bruised set loose so strange to be organs Can you just help me out without tracking my behavior Can't keep praying, never seen the savior We should dine on our fruit, not starve while we cater I'm opting out, I'd like to live instead of labor It's all relative They say while pumping sedatives Into every single hungry orifice Brain bruised set loose so strange to be organs

Premonition 03:03
So some pompous prick posted pilfered pics Of your perky tits on the internet And you should have been a star But everyone just stared at your scars And some random red who rarely paid rent Ranted and raved that you were heaven sent Oh you should have seen the ratings They think my optimism is degrading There was a wild west it was the homeland Now the working man has the softest hands They still don't want to let the secret out We replaced our good intentions with doubt So some crushing creep copped a cautious peek Of your cushioned chest under hospital sheets You should have told you let him get away Now we have to beg the therapist to stay And we weekly walk with wet feet and palms Under worrisome weather and a vacant sun But we never let it get to our heads We just wanted to prosper got poisoned instead

Fieldmines 01:43
One for the coroner, one for the Queen One for the gun shop, all in for the team Ready to go steady but we split at the seams And we're pretty for the headlines score for the screams AHH If we had a second I reckon we'd shine But the workers in the fields are always looking for mines Rock-tested shocks and it's so sublime So we're breaking through the atmosphere akin to crime Fruit for the mice and rats for the peasants Eating dirt in a west coast heaven Sucking up slime and under stress But we threw up our lunch and we're ready for dessert YEAH If we had a second I reckon we'd shine Workers in the fields, looking for mines Rock-tested shocks; so sublime we're breaking through the atmosphere akin to crime Akin to crime Akin to crime, red lines Akin to crime

Heroin 01:52
Sitting in a parking lot with broken lines and painted rocks Drop on the concrete, border silhouette with chalk Pulling life through needles and crushing bugs with ankle socks Sitting in a, slipping in a, sinking in a vacant lot And if I get it right this time I'm headed straight to Hell And if I sell my soul for an eight ball all will be well Pushing through the crowd and break into a steady walk Pull my teeth with hammers, sew my gums and we can talk Shaking off the last hit and go in for another shock Waiting in a, wishing in a, wasting in a vacant lot And if I get it wrong this time they'll put me in a cell If they try to make me roll on the dealer, I'll never tell Sitting in a, slipping in a, sinking in a Sitting in a, slipping in a, sinking in a Sitting in a, slipping in a, sinking in a Sitting in a, slipping in a, sinking INTO And if I get it right this time I'm headed straight to Hell And if I sell my soul for an eight ball all will be well And if I get it wrong this time they'll put me in a cell If they try to make me roll on the dealer, I'll never tell

Begging you ghosts, don't make me nostalgic Got so close my joy was nothing but magic More of you than before and that's somehow tragic But if I could show scars close to the heart you'd faint Not from the heat inside or from your current pallid state It would be from indigestion I forgot to mention: Eye for an Eye has been enacted Keep your legs where I can see them From the back of my mind to the front of your blouses Now we've been found in how many houses? How many houses bear our shame Are they crumbling down, did they lose your name? Did they watch us attentively while we came? OH you were from another past and I from the future Bound together with resin string and loose dirt I became the fly on your wall, don't forget me operate without any anesthetics OR PERMISSION go to bed with someone who's not ready THEN DISMISS THEM Eye for an Eye has been enacted Keep your legs where I can see them From the back of my mind to the front of your blouses Now we've been found in how many houses? I'm daring you darling, make waves on the map And once you get close promise I'll have your back again I'll blind those eyes if it makes you less critical YOU SAY "I'm pretty forgettable; bad at anything physical" But from the stains on your mattress I could smell the other day I deduce that you just led me on and I forgot to say Eye for an Eye has been enacted Keep your legs where I can see them From the back of my mind to the front of your blouses Now we've been found in how many houses? How many houses are built our friction? Are you trying for a record am I feeding your addiction? So glad you cut apart your body per my description NO I came from empathy you taught me apathy My hands nervous shake and always talk back to me I'm the bowl of blood waiting patient in the sink We should go to bed together never FALL ASLEEP Love's forever but hunger is only SKIN DEEP Eye for an Eye has been enacted Keep your legs where I can see them From the back of my mind to the front of your blouses Now we've been found in how many houses? We've been found in how many houses? HOW many HOUses HOW many HOUses HOW many HOUses HOW many HOUses HOW many HOUses HOW many HOUses HOW many HOOUUUUUUSEEEES

This was a revolution brought into a red state Settled on a clear solution, huddled in a congregation This was a long time coming, since we lost our trust in banks Paper means nothing now, we will receive your repentance Bare all your assets or we'll burn you with the estate And they keep keep keep keep keep it in the family A broken clotted overbloated entity They sleep sleep sleep sleep underneath the cotton tree Castrate the one percent and kindle flames of anarchy Barely legal prostitution, selling kids on candy meth Where is our constitution? Shredded drenched in oil refuse Where was the God you cry for? Tied up in Bethlehem Meanwhile we were always present, tossing sludge with scarred hands You say that children are the future, until they're of the opposition And they keep keep keep keep keep it in the family A broken clotted overbloated entity They sleep sleep sleep sleep underneath the cotton tree Castrate the one percent and kindle flames of anarchy Edible and eating things, you never had a backup plan Once the courts are smoke and rubble, working class bursts your bubble You can hold a town hall meeting, we'll strip away your power then Thought we'd just do what you tell us, but we're taking out your pay Sell off your yachts and cabins, start building up callouses And they keep keep keep keep keep it in the family A broken clotted overbloated entity They sleep sleep sleep sleep underneath the cotton tree Castrate the one percent and kindle flames of anarchy Work for barter, clipped for slaughter, slice fingers for reprimand Tried to claim all the resources, attempt to rule the wild lands But now we've got you cornered with a match in the tar sands Pack up all your great ideas, no longer be needing them You might want to close your eyes, pray and think about your great again And they keep keep keep keep keep it in the family A broken clotted overbloated entity They sleep sleep sleep sleep underneath the cotton tree Castrate the one percent and kindle flames of anarchy Keep it in the family! They always! Keep it in the family! And they keep keep keep keep keep it in the family A broken clotted overbloated entity They sleep sleep sleep sleep underneath the cotton tree Castrate the one percent and kindle flames of anarchy The money- Keep it in the family The power - Keep it in the family And all of the moneyy - Keep it in the family And all of the power they keep it in the family

Defaced memorials of old guards Rare race seated on the throne with a crown Pressure erupted Fixed up the paint but the frame still busted Multitudes of bruises covering your arms (And you ruined everything, everything) While the farm stays intact and our cities buried Why did we settle on the cheap solution (And you've broken all these things, broken dreams) Warned. WASTED. WAR APPROACHES ON THE SLICK SOAKED BEACHES (These promises you made to me, you've thrown away just like debris And you ruined everything, everything in me) Myyy sights are on the platform. The promenade One eye slides to our sources. While the tendons burn, melt, slip down our arm Oh wow. Were we once the system? Oh God. Are you opposition or assistance we've waited on to end our suffering Multitudes of bruises covering your arms (And you ruined everything, everything) While the farm stays intact and our cities buried Why did we settle on the cheap solution (And you've broken all these things, broken dreams) Warned. WASTED. WAR APPROACHES ON THE SLICK SOAKED BEACHES (These promises you made to me, you've thrown away just like debris And you ruined everything, everything in me) Eyes set on burial of false gods We broke bread on salted ground Famine feeds the fortunate Fortune favors apathy, the secret's out Multitudes of bruises covering your arms (And you ruined everything, everything) While the farm stays intact and our cities buried Why did we settle on the cheap solution (And you've broken all these things, broken dreams) Warned. WASTED. WAR APPROACHES ON THE SLICK SOAKED BEACHES (These promises you made to me, you've thrown away just like debris And you ruined everything, everything in me) Covered in gold to keep you from harm (And you ruined everything, everything) We cleared your path and paved it in carpet Why did you run from your own protection? (and you've broken all these things, broken dreams) Pained. WANTED. BLOOD POOLS AT THE MOUTH. OF BOUNDARY WATERS (These promises you made to me, you've thrown away just like debris And you ruined everything, everything in me) (Everything, everything in me)

Breaking down In a cluster The shine you had we can't muster And we aim To keep it that way If you wanna stay safe better do what we say! And I better not catch you hanging from the rafters! Cuz in hell, you'll get it a hundred times worse Cutting losses, avoiding disasters You can roam all you want remember I was first Oh, FIRST! Breaking through The crowds and customs We make our stance but we're not committed Take our losses, and we split it Sneaking in the corridor, we're looking for a target! And I better not see, you on the front page Cuz in the obituary, I saw your curse Chucking shells, Shooting hipsters We got a cute mascot but it's lost to the cell The CELL! And I better not catch you hanging from the rafters! Cuz in hell, you'll get it a hundred times worse Cutting losses, avoiding disasters You can roam all you want remember I was first And I better not see, you on the front page Cuz in the obituary, I saw your curse Chucking shells, Shooting hipsters We got a cute mascot but it's lost to the cell The CELL! And I better not catch you hanging from the rafters! Cuz in hell, you'll get it a hundred times worse Cutting losses, avoiding disasters You can roam all you want remember I was first And I better not see, you on the front page Cuz in the obituary, I saw your curse Chucking shells, Shooting hipsters We got a cute mascot but it's lost to the cell The CELL!
