Feed The Beast
03:50
|
|||
|
Looking through the cracks
With no hope to turn back
It's heartless havin brains
And brainless to abstain
So give in
To eternal feast
And with a grin
Feed the beast
He doesn't ask for much
You may feel but never touch
Make him comfortable
And help him dig the hole
In your skin
At the very least
Then let him in
And feed the beast
Don't you
Want to
Join him
In joy
Now
Don't you
Want to
Feel him
Feel you
Now
As he stuffs you down
Down the
Drain and up the stairs
I told you to beware
This darkness swallows all
And you who stand so tall
Against the wind
Hold your breathe
Until the end
Until your death
Until your death
Give into the feast
And feed the beast

I met a man with his heart
Wrapped twice around his sleeve
Stretched so thin you could see right through him
Down the barrel of the hole inside him
He breathes out his life
As he puffs on his death
Lit up on the porch
Like a firefly
And as his pacifier burns into the air
He starts to shiver till he lights another
Ahh-ah
He tries to fill the pit that his daddy dug
With the tar of an ancient con
Who's fossils become the air with each new mile
Like a poison effigy
To a world that he's left long behing
And bled try just like it taught him too
When his lovin fire burned into the air
And the filter between he and her blew away
Ahh-ah
(Instrumental outro)

My Drying Blood
05:00
|

|
Take the bag off of my head
I'll tell you what
You want to hear
As the moon is turning red
My drying blood
Won't disappear
I'll be around
When you are found
With your hands
Cold and stained in the moonight
(Instrumental break0
Send em runnin back again
For one more day
To obey the mystery
Tell em that you're on the mend
While under the same
Spell as me
Under the same
Starving shame
Buried under
A house that's built in your name
Can't you see it now
The truth of what you are
Hidden growing fowl
Underneath the floorboards
So far
(Instrumental outro)

The Unraveling Thread
03:05
|
|||
|
Nights
Wind
Down
Around my feet
Cold and somehow sweet
Oh just like the unraveling thread
Wrapped around my head
Dawn
Has gone
And hid
With clipped wings
And the broken song she sings
But free from the unraveling thread
Once she's seen all that she's bled
Ah-ah ah-ah ah-ah-ah
(Instrumental break)
"Bend
Again
Around
The needle for me"
You whisper through your teeth
"Bow down to the unraveling thead"
Let you rule this time instead
Ah-ah ah-ah ah-ah-ah

Like A Fawn
02:41

Oo oo oo oo oo-oo-oo oo
Oo oo oo oo oo-oo-oo oo oo-oo oo
Darkness fallin fast
Out of the way
Of the past
Which flickers like a neon sign
Hung above a door locked by time
My chance
Is gone
With my will
To move on
Again
Like a fawn
Born still
(Instrumental break)
My job
Is never done
Count from three
To one
And I
Wont run
From
You oo oo oo oo-oo-oo oo
Oo oo oo oo oo-oo-oo oo oo-oo oo

Laces To tie
04:47

You say
As you put another coin in the machine
"Hey,
I just wanna leave it all behind again'
Well kick your shoes into the air
and run before they come back down
Pray they never do so you can stay right there
Judgin them who's feet aint bare
Cause they ain't free
Not like you anyway
They all got jobs and families to raise
You sit and try
Not to wonder why
You've only got you're own laces to tie
Yeah you've only got your own laces to tie
So pull
The shards of glass from your foot peace by peace
To dull
To realize it was your bottle that broke
So crawl town to town beggin for a fix
for the life you bleed onto the ground
Pray you'll walk again just to stand around
And blame them for the shape of your froun
Cuase they ain't free
Not like you anyway
They never got addicted to the pain
You sit and try
Not to wonder why
You've only got you're own laces to tie
Oooh oh oh ooh ooh
Ooh oooh ooh oooh ooh-oh-ohooh
Oooh oh oh ooh ooh
Ooh oooh ooh oooh ooh-oh-ohooh
Sink to the bottom once your ship has sailed and
Left you alone to fail
Without the patience of the ocean below
Or the love from the ground you know
Oooh oh oh ooh ooh
Ooh oooh ooh oooh ooh-oh-ohooh
Oooh oh oh ooh ooh
Ooh oooooh
Yeah jump from the harbor if you can't endure
What you see rollin up to shore
A day spent with all the aching pain
You've caused while in your chains
Cause you ain't free
And you won't ever be
You've only got yourself to blame you'll see
You'll sit and try
Not to wonder why
You've only got your own laces to tie
You've only got your own laces to tie
Yeah you've only got your own laces to tie

Oh Candy

Oh Candy
You take my heart
And from the start
I've known
It's you
My sweet moon beam
You're in my dreams
As you are to
All who have known you
But Candy
Before you go
I wanna know
Just how
You feel
Do you ever fear?
When i'm not near
As I do when
You are far away
Nights grow longer
When you're away
Memories weaken
But never faid
And they tell me you will
Soon return to me
(Instrumental break)
All alone now
I sit and wait
For you but
Somehow I know
You've gone away
And I hope that you will
Soon return to me
Candy
Just one more thing
That i've been think-
-ing of
A while
If I made you cry
When I said goodbye
Just know I'll always love you so
Yeah you know I'll
Always love
I'll always love
Always love you still
Yeah you know I'll
Always love
I'll always love
Always love you so

Wait
It may be too late
To walk out of here with no fight
I said "please,
If you're going, take these"
As I gave her the last of my kisses
And she said "lovers can't get out of war
Just by holdin each other close"
Singing well, well,
I've done it now
Made you to see your way out
Of the light that
You saw me in
Now i'll get up and i'll join
The dark on the road
Oh so it goes
Followin yellow lines
Back home to nowhere
She said "Hon, we're just dice
That rolled under the ice
Frozen together by chance
Yeah just numbers
Facin one another
Trapped together under the sheets
And you saw just one side to me
That's how you ever loved me so long"
And she sang "Well, well,
I've done it now
Made you to see your way out
Of the light that
You saw me in
Now ill get up and ill go...
Well after just one more-"
No, no,
You've done it now
Made me to see my way out
Of the nightmare
That I loved you in
Drownin together, alone
Till death do us swim
Oh so it goes
Followin the new current
Safely back home

Scarlet Sky

Scarlet sky
Ribbons down the road
Meet us back at home
Just in time to sing
Us a soothing song
The words ring out so clear
Enough for us to hear
As they say
It's our scarlet sky, baby
It's our scarlet sky
Nothing can take
It away
And the next day I am laying there
I know just how you felt
Cause you sing like no one else
Wherever you are
It's never far away
No, forever and always
Ooh oh-oh
(Instrumental break No.1)
I'm your scarlet sky, my darling
I'm your scarlet sky
Nothing could drag
Me away
(Instrumental break No.2)
I feel it too

When could the morning sun
Ever hide you from all that you've
Seen and done?
When could the evening fall
Hard enough to drape a could for
One and All?
Over you and I
Will it rain another song
When the thunder is gone
From
All
Our
Sweetest melodies
That we're singing to each other
In between
Our pleas for love
In between our pleas for love
In between our pleas for love
There's an answer once dreamed of
What could bring us out of here
Of the days that we have spent as
Two in fear?
All that I've ever known
Is the way that you have said the wind
Has blown
Over you and I
Will it whisper a new song
When the voices are gone
From
All
Our
Wasted melodies
That we're singing to each other
In between
Our pleas for love
In between our pleas for love
In between our pleas for love
There's an answer once dreamed
Oh-oh-of
