I can see them circling
Under the water
They're getting closer
I back myself against the hull
They pick me clean
Leave me with nothing
The heavens hang high over me
Feeling no envy
Watching this ending
I see the teeth and try to scream
Where is Van Helsing
To kill these demons?
No flag to wave no last goodbyes
The curtains calling
The trumpets sounding
Poseidon comes to take me down
To the locker
Where I'm going
I can see them circling
Under the water
The circles closing
I watch in horror the rolling eyes
Oh how their teeth gleam
Here comes the feeding

Away from everything the view from buildings show
I'm high above the scene scratching through my clothes
The net is thrown at undertones that bring the world to me
Flying so high and sweet
With heavy wings that fan
But you've got it man, the joke's right here, the master plan
And that's just it, you see I quit
Either way it is just how it is
Try to look past the piss and shit
And see the sun where it does shine
Hiding behind the blinking skyline alright
Pieces on the board inside the universal gist of it
You clean yourself the best you can
And stagger through the rest of this shit
I find myself at loss for wording that could show
As generations go and what is left you know
You lucid dream and still can't shake the beast of reasoning
Like knots tied in your brain that needs some severing
But on with the show
Don't drop the ball, scream at the globe
Don't break the spell or kill the ride
You see suspense and riptides occupy my mind and knock me down by clothesline
Watching you as I break down my mind and chew right through all my ties
Stabbing at my sense of pride you hurl down this here pipeline
Catch me at some other time I'll see you all on the other side

Don't Wake Daniel

I wish I knew
Everything about you
If I did I'd hold true
And release it
As it is I'm stuck in shit
Staring in at your door frame taped in
We all change
Day to day
At least we think we do
Can't start over again
As the blood sinks in
To the bed that you did lie in
I can't stand the clocks
That roar with hands
Away from your separating
Another lamplight
Another day end
Harming the walls of the beating
And what it is to live is to know you'll die
And not to stave off the end
(If you were here I'd hope you'd say)
All in all, it's been a good time
And I'd still choose to get high
Don't feel bad, for things I'll never have
You don't understand what that means
I don't hate, I don't bleed
Life is more than what you see
It's who you are and what you do
And where you are pointing

Dead Heart
02:24
|

Anywhere you go or what you do
My dead heart and I can follow through
Surface once again when you've got the blues
My dead heart and I got nothin' to lose
And the choices that you've made are taunting you
Things that you thought were dead are haunting you
But my dead heart and I got nothing to lose
Treat an open window like an open door
My jaw dropped down and shattered on the floor
My eyes popped out and my brain blew a fuse
But my dead heart and I had nothing to lose
And the choices that you've made are taunting you
Things that you thought were dead are haunting you
But my dead heart and I got nothing to lose
Nothing to lose

Thunder clap flashing lights
Shocks you back to control
Now there's death in your eyes
And regret in your soul
But it's exactly as you planned
Because you just couldn't stand
Your answer to hold your head in the sand
But it will only let you see what in defense you believe
How can you not see
You're just a flash in the plan
Punch clock shooting you down
With bottles lining the walls
So I can perch near the ceiling
And can't believe this is all
Isolated alone
With too much time on my hands
Detecting a glass house stone throw
Wings descend from on high
Stalling blood through my heart
Don't want to remain
Just a flash in the plan
Apocalyptic cattle prod
From the guide that's absurd
But you follow their word
With your head in a trough
Great carcass in the sky
Is the sum of rot dreams
And I have learned to hate
The greasy sheen of us beings
Upright and shitting the bed
Soul escape when I'm dead
Don't want to believe I'm just a flash in the plan

The Heat
03:50
|

Maybe I've imagined what's really there
The forecast the beeline and that deep seated stare
That comes and hits me square
Even though I know it must be wrong to feel this way
I know that I'm hanging on
Castrate the minutes of every day
So I can hold on to every second of the pain
And you in my veins
Even though I know it must be wrong to feel this way
I know that I'm hanging on
And I can feel the heat
I can feel the heat heat
It's burning up inside of me
I can feel it coming off of you
Like a dragon breathing on to me
Like the sweat pouring off of you
I can feel the heat
Yeah I can feel the heat heat
I can feel the heat
You know it's wrong but I can feel the heat's on
Stringing me along but I can see what's going on
Divide me wide and break me right open
Lead me to the source of honey dripping thighs
You know it's wrong but I can feel the heat's on

Can't stop at all
Street light stumble into dawn
We are caught in cross hairs
As we brace ourselves in this millennium
Coming of age at the end of days
At the end of days
And I----
I can feel the end of time
Am I----
Nothing but a lemming march into line
Coming of age at the end of days
At the end of days
We all just shut our mouths and masturbate until
It all goes away
You come on out of houses just to realize
You're still locked in, in a cage
Coming of age at the end of days
At the end of days

Balloons
06:34
|

The mannequin she passes the torch
And her world goes dark of course
No light sinks in to plastic
Anything that you drop trickles down
I'm doing the best that I can
As the bird flies it touches your ears
And the violence made it perfectly clear
But you don't believe it's in you
Anything that you drop trickles down
I'm doing the best that I can
I am gonna let go of the strings
That are holding down balloons
Like so many nightmare dreams
Don't toss that coin, don't put it in doubt
If you need a hand gimme a shout
Until shadows can't follow
Anything that you drop trickles down
I'm doing the best that I can
Oh me oh my I'm so far from home
Let me head into my dreams all alone
Where the whole world is with me
Anything that you drop trickles down
I'm doing the best I can
I am going to let go of the strings
That are holding down balloons
Like so many nightmare dreams
